    The document summarizes the development of science and technology in the Philippines from pre-Hispanic times through the modern era. It discusses that indigenous Filipinos had established systems of governance, food production, craft-making and medicine before colonization. When the Spanish arrived, they introduced Western science through institutions like hospitals and prioritized religious education. During the American regime, a larger education system was established including universities, but the country remained an importer and graduates often left due to lack of opportunities. Today, the Department of Science and Technology oversees various agencies to continue developing the field.
