Early inhabitants of the Philippine Islands

There were indications that people in the Philippine


islands were relatively self-sufficient and had established
autonomous communities long before the Spaniards
arrived. The early Filipinos had attained a generally
simple level of technological development, compared
with those of the Chinese and Japanese, but this was
sufficient for their needs during that period of time.

STONE AGE IN THE PHILIPPINES

• Simple tools and weapons of stone flakes and later methods of sawing
and polishing stones around 40,000 B.C. were found.

• By around 3,000 B.C. stone age people were producing adzes


ornaments of seashells and pottery. Pottery flourished for the next
2,000 years until they imported Chinese porcelain. Soon they learned
to produce copper, bronze, iron, and gold metal tools and ornaments.

• As early as Neolithic age, inhabitants were trading with other societies.

Petroglyphs

The earliest prehistoric rock drawings studied extensively


were those found at the boundary of Angono and
Binangonan, Rizal Province. The site is a rock shelter or
a shallow cave about 63 meters wide, 8 meters deep and
5 meters at its highest point. One hundred twenty seven
human figures scattered on the wall were made by
engraving lines using a piece of stone on the surface of
the rock shelter. The cuts vary from ten centimeters down
to faint lines figures. The figures consist of circular heads,
with or without necks set on a rectangular or v-shaped
body. The linear arms and legs are usually flexed. Some
incisions on the rock wall are triangles, rectangles and
circles. Rock art is closely linked with a system of belief of
a particular group of people. It is symbolic, not decorative.

1b. Iron Age
• According to Dizon (1988), probably between ca. 500-200 B.C.
• iron supplied by Chinese traders in exchange for forest products,
gold, salt, beads, etc. and that local blacksmiths processed iron
for agriculture and household implements. Surpluses were
traded to other groups, promoting the continuous diffusion of
iron.
• No standardized manufacturing, small scale
• No real iron age, only iron-utilizing societies beginning ca. 370

1c. Chalcolithic Age/Metal Age
500 BC-AD 1000
“In the northern Philippines a suggestion of what could be the oldest sign of metal in this country
appeared in the Musang Cave in Cagayan.This was a brass needle tenuously dated about 2000
B.C. In Palawan bronze tools, glass beads and bracelets and gold beads were dug up in the
Duyong, Uyaw and Guri Caves. Duyong Cave is dated between 300 to 500 B.C. while Guri
between 100 to 200 years B.C. Uyaw Cave contained jar burials with bronze adzes and spears,
and was as old as the Duyong Cave. By this time the use of metals is already widespread in the
old world and mainland of Asia. But its first appearance in these islands marked the beginning of
a new set of changes that again altered the lifeways of the people and made the pace of life much
faster than the previous ones.”

• Filipinos from the Butuan were trading with Champa (Vietnam) and those
from Ma-I (Mindoro) with China as noted in Chinese records containing
several references to the Philippines.
• These archaeological findings indicated that regular trade relations between
the Philippines, China and Vietnam had been well established from the 10th
century to the 15th century A.D.
• The People of Ma-I and San-Hsu (Palawan) traded bee wax, cotton, pearls,
coconut heart mats, tortoise shell and medicinal betel nuts, panie cloth for
porcelain, leads fishnets sinker, colored glass beads, iron pots, iron needles
and tin.

Before the Spaniards
• Filipinos were already engaged in activities and practices related to
science forming primitive or first wave technology. They were
knowledgeable on the curative values of some plants and how to extract
medicine from herbs. They had an alphabet, a system of writing, a
method of counting and weights and measure. They had no calendar but
counted the years by the period of the moon and from one harvest to

Incorporation of S&T into Governance in the
1f. American Period Philippines

• Bureau of Science (American period) which created the Philippine S&T

• focused on agriculture, health and food processing. Thus, because of


the colonial economic policy, the development of industrial technology
was largely neglected.

• Bureau became training ground for Filipino scientists with the


creation of the University of the Philippines (UP) and the various S&T-
related agencies and laboratories.

Declaration of Independence in 1946

• Bureau was reorganized into the Institute of Science and was put
under the Office of the President of the Philippines.

“The Institute suffered from lack of support, planning and coordination. In fact, the Bell
Mission’s Recommendation mentioned that the Institute had no capability to support
S&T development for lack of basic information, neglect of experimentation, and small
budget for R&D activities. “

“Most areas of research were left to the researchers to define under the assumption that they
were attuned to the interests of the country. They were expected to look for technologies and
scientific breakthroughs with good commercialization potential. Without clear research directions,
researches were done for their own sake, leaving to chance the commercialization of the output. “

• creation of the S&T Council System, which became responsible for the sectoral formulation
of policy and strategies for its specific field and allocation of funds.
• four councils under the system: PCHRD, PCIERD, PCARRD and NRCP
• Later, the NRCP was replaced by PCAMRD and PCASTRD.
• The NSTA, for its part, had eight research and development institutes and support agencies
under it.
• In the mid-1980s, regional offices for S&T promotion and extension were established to
further hasten the development of S&T.

2a. Science and Technology defined

Science fundamentally is the


systematic study of the structure and
behavior of the natural and physical
world through observations and
experiments.
Scientific activity centers on research, the end result of which is the discovery or production of
new knowledge. This new knowledge may or may not have any direct or immediate application.

This module is the property of Lynn E. 40


Rallos, Science Dept, MSU-GSC
Science and Technology defined

“ is the collection of techniques,


methods or processes used in the production of
goods or services or in the accomplishment of
objectives, such as scientific investigation, or any
other consumer demands.”
Technology outcome is more concrete than science, i.e. the production
of "a thing, a chemical, a process, something to be bought and sold”.

2b. Technology Innovation Process

“Technological innovation and economic growth are


mutually reinforcing ..That is, higher rate of growth
tends to generate productivity improvement through
technology innovation through research and
development, and vice versa.“
Cororaton, 2003

This module is the property of Lynn E. Rallos, 43


Science Dept, MSU-GSC
Technology Innovation Process

“Generally, technological innovation involves two major parts—research and


innovation. The innovation part consists of two phases. In the first part, the introduction of
new technology leads to new products and reduces the cost of production. These new
products have better quality than before. Because of the reduction in cost per unit, for the
same total cost of production, the quantity of output that could be produced would increase.
Better quality products and greater volume of production result in mass production that
could attract entrepreneurs to increase their marketing effort and could further reduce
cost because of economies of scale. Mass production and lower cost could result in mass
consumption. These whole set of activities could lead to improved income for the general
public. Increased income could lead to changes in taste, which in turn could result in higher
demand for more quality products. This impulse could trigger pressure to improve the
existing technology. Thus, the entire process repeats itself and continues in this cycle
toward economic prosperity.” (see Figure in next page) Cororaton, 2003

 has a human-centered core. It encourages organizations to focus
on the people they're creating for, which leads to better products, services, and
internal processes. When you sit down to create a solution for a business need, the
first question should always be what's the human need behind it?

Design Thinking = a philosophy x tools = solve a problem


In , you’re pulling together what’s desirable from a
human point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable.
It also allows those who aren't trained as designers to use creative tools to address
a vast range of challenges. The process starts with taking action and
understanding the right questions. It’s about embracing simple mindset shifts and
tackling problems from a new direction.

The state of science and
technology determines the socio-
economic progress of a country.

The Global Competitiveness Index is the accepted tool


for evaluating a country's potential for growth. By
comparing most of the world's countries, it provides
insight into the comparative advantages of each.

How to read the WES report charts

The bar chart in the next slide/page presents an economy’s score on


the overall GCI and on each of its twelve pillars. The economy’s rank
(out of 141 economies) on each pillar is displayed at the bottom of the
chart. At the top of the chart, the three-letter code (ISO-3) of the best
performer is displayed (note that there are 33 best performers on the
Macro-economic stability pillar and four best performers on the Health
pillar). To the right of each bar the performance of relevant benchmarks
is displayed: the economy’s score in the 2018 edition (diamond); the
average score of the economy’s income group, based on the World
Bank’s classification (triangle); and the average score of the region to
which the economy belongs (square).
