Instruction: Answer the following questions profoundly.

1.During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, the Spanish introduced formal education
and founded scientific institutions. They established schools for boys and girls and introduced
the concept of subjects and disciplines. They also taught sanitation and more advanced methods
of agriculture to the natives. Later, the Spanish established colleges and universities in the
archipelago, including the University of Santo Tomas. The Spanish also contributed to the field
of engineering in the islands by constructing government buildings, churches, roads, bridges, and
forts. During the American period, they introduced new modes of transport like cars and
airplanes, modern roads, and they pushed for the installation of power all over the country. They
established a mode research university, the University of the Philippines, and created more
public hospitals than the former colonial master. They also reorganized the learning of science
and introduced it in public and private schools.

5. School science shapes science and technology in the country by providing a foundation for
students to learn about scientific concepts and principles. It helps students develop critical
thinking skills and encourages them to pursue careers in science and technology. However, the
quality of science education in the country needs improvement, and there is a need to provide
more resources and support for science teachers and students.

6. Some issues in the Philippines include poverty, environmental degradation, and lack of access
to healthcare. Science and technology-related policies that could be developed and implemented
to solve these issues include investing in renewable energy, promoting sustainable agriculture,
and improving healthcare infrastructure and services.

7. The implementation of science and technology policies and projects in the country has been
mixed. While there have been some successes, there are also challenges such as lack of funding,
inadequate infrastructure, and limited resources. There is a need for more collaboration between
government, industry, and academia to ensure the successful implementation of science and
technology policies and projects.
8. There are several laws related to science and technology in the Philippines from the year 2000 up
to the present. These include the Philippine Science High School System Act, the Innovative Startup
Act, and the Balik Scientist Act. These laws aim to promote science and technology education,
support innovation and entrepreneurship, and encourage the return of Filipino scientists and
researchers to the country. The implementation of these laws is overseen by various government
agencies, including the Department of Science and Technology.
