traffic congestion, it can be solved with science and technology-related policies in a way
which taking look at the root that causes traffic congestion, and creating solutions for it
to be solved. And as for the poverty also can be solved by science and technology
related solutions. Teaching the poor how to be practical in spending money and as well

and projects in the country?
• For me, all the science and technology projects are big help for the world
especially for us people, as it makes our everyday life easier because of the high-
technologies invented and existing. We can easily communicate with our family through
texting or calling them using mobile phones. Government in the Philippines sponsored
to give or to have students’ borrow gadgets to be used for online classes.
3. What are the laws related to science and technology in the Philippines from the year
2000? What are their contributions?
• According to my sources from the internet, one of the laws implemented related
to science and technology is “LIMITED ACCESS FACILITY ACT OF 2000” which says
that, no person or vehicle shall have any right of ingress or egress to, from or across the
limited. It also says that, access facility and to or form abutting lands, except at such
designated entry/exit. Republic Act (RA) No. 11293, otherwise known as the “Philippine

implemented in order to foster innovation in the country as the vital component of
national development and sustainable economic growth. But this second Act has to
formulate or promulgate the implementing rules and regulations to ensure the effective
implementation of the Act.
5. What other government projects and programs are available for science education in
the Philippines? List at least three projects and programs and identify their role.
• The Philippines Science Education Curriculum (PSEC) - the Philippines
Science Education Curriculum aims for the development of scientific and technological
for the betterment of the society and the environment.
• “Merit Scholarship” AND “Fast-Tracked S&T Scholarship Act of 2013”- This
programs are under the (PSEC). These are the scholarships that aim to increase the
number of scientists and engineers that will help boost knowledge creation and
economic productivity in the country.
6. Are there private schools with outstanding science education programs? Identify and
compare their science education programs with public science schools.
•for me, yes. The average of teaching science in private schools has far better
than public schools because, most private schools teach not pseudo-science like
creationism like creationism.
