- FIRST SLIDE

- DOST or Department of Science and Technology, sila yung government institution na ang

specialized is about science and technology. Within the framework of the current National
Science and Technology Plan, 2002–2020 (NSTP), the strategic focus is on building technological
self-reliance. 
- The Harmonized National Research and Development Agenda or HNRDA is prepared by the
Department of Science and Technology, so the reason why DOST prepared this HNRDA is
because to provide innovative solutions that benefit Filipinos, particularly the poor, through a
problem-focused approach to multi-disciplinary. Isa yang solution para masolve ung problem
naten with regards to disaster
- . The Harmonized Agenda was presented to the President in August 2014. Although science and
technology are guided by the NSTP,
- Yung Harmonized Agenda nagattempts na magprovide ng mas madami pang detail na kung
paano na ung bansa natin ay maaring maging technologically self-reliant para masustain yung
science and technology beyond the mandate of the administration in power at the time of the
Agenda's adoption.

- Yung mga policy nga ng government na nasa baba sa next slide are seeking to create and gawan
ng pondo ung mga insfrastructure para masupport nga ung pag develop ng mg core
technologies. So ginawa nga nila un para ung problem nten with regards sa technology is
masolve. This approach will help the economy na intervention ng government para maaddress
ung market failure at para makagawa ng market work within the purview of good governance.

- A key challenge will be to build sufficiently solid infrastructure to sustain current efforts. Isa nga
sa mga example para mas maging matibay or para masupport ung mga research na ginawa ay
ung International Rice Research Institute based in the city of Los Baños. Since we all know na sa
los banos more on agriculture sila.

- SECOND PAGE
- Harmonized Agenda focuses on the development of critical technologies gaya remote sensing,
LiDAR processing, testing and metrology facilities, advanced climate change and weather
modelling, advanced manufacturing and high-performance computing.

- SO when we say remote sensing

- Remote Sensing Technology - the use of satellite and/or aircraft for acquiring geospatial and
temporal information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with
the object

- Next, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) - a remote-sensing technique that uses lasers to
measure distances to reflective surfaces and produce fine scale elevation and surface data.

- Then the metrology facilities - These facilities adhere to a national standardized unit of
measurement to aid the manufacturing and other business industries achieve global
competitiveness. They establish and maintain national physical standards for basic and derived
quantities such as mass, length, temperature, time interval, voltage and resistance.

- When we say advanced climate change and weather modelling - it is about the use of
mathematical representations of the climate system, simulating the physical and dynamical
processes that determine global/ regional climate. They range from simple, one-dimensional
models to more complex ones such as global climate models

- , advanced manufacturing or Competitive Manufacturing Technologies - technologies used for

advance manufacturing of high quality products at competitive costs

- And lastly the high-performance computing - provide supercomputers and parallel processing
techniques to perform tests and run computationally intensive applications for numerical
weather prediction, climate modeling as well as analytics and data modeling and archiving

- Five centres of excellence are being established or upgraded by 2020 in biotechnology,

nanotechnology, genomics, semiconductors and electronic design. The five centres of excellence
are all government-funded:
- the Centre for Nanotechnology Application in Agriculture, Forestry and Industry (est. 2014) is
based at the University of the Philippines Los Baños;
- the Biotech Pilot Plant (est. 2012 and since upgraded) is housed at the University of the
Philippines Los Baños;
- the Philippine Genome Centre (est. 2009) is hosted by the University of the Philippines Diliman;
it operates two core facilities in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics;
- the Advanced Device and Materials Testing Laboratory is located in the Department of Science
and Technology's compound in Bicutan in Taguig City and has been operational since 2013; it
houses three laboratories in surface analysis, thermal, chemical and metallurgical analysis; n the
 Electronic Product Development Centre will also be located in the Department of Science and
Technology's compound in Bicutan in Taguig City; it will provide state-of-the-art design,
prototyping and testing facilities for printed circuit boards.

- 3rd slide
- FINANCIAL INVESMENT IN R&D
- so according to UNESCO Institute for Statistics the level of domestic investment in R&D remains
low by any standards: 0.11% of GDP in 2007 and 0.14% of GDP in 2013, So meaning when it
comes sa investment mababa padin ung nag iinvest dito sa R&D
- And because of this it will be a challenge na mas magkaron ng development when it comes to
science at mas ma iinovate at madedevelop nga lang yon kapag mas madami or mas Malaki na
ung investment.
- More industries enabled by state-ofthe-art R&D facilities, technologies and science-based
policies, moving up the value chain and attracting foreign direct investments. Meaning ung mga
industries especially in electronics mas maganda kung sila ung magiging investor since sila ung
isa sa mga expert pag dating sa technology.

- 4th slide
- The Philippines trails its more dynamic ASEAN peers for investment in both education and
research. The country invested 0.3% of GDP in higher education in 2009, one of the lowest ratios
among ASEAN countries. After stagnating for the first half of the century, tertiary enrolment
leapt from 2.6 million to 3.2 million between 2009 and 2013. 
- according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics. The rise in PhD graduates has been even more
spectacular, their number having doubled over the same five-year period from 1 622 to 3 305,
- Research and development (R&D) is the part of a company's operations that seeks knowledge to
develop, design, and enhance its products, services, technologies, or processes. Along with
creating new products and adding features to old ones, investing in research and
development connects various parts of a company's strategy and business plan, such as
marketing and cost reduction.
- Let us remember na R&D isn’t just about creating new products, as it can be used to strengthen
an existing product or service with additional features.
- Why You Should Invest in Research and Development (R&D)
- Research and development (R&D) is an important driver of economic growth as it spurs
innovation, invention, and progress.
- R&D Offers Productivity, Product Differentiation
- R&D strategies let companies create highly effective marketing strategies around releasing a
new product or an existing product with new features.

- 5th slide
- Legislative reform
- Technology Transfer Act (RA 10055) which was enacted in 2009 and its Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR), as well as the Guidelines on Intellectual Property (IP) Valuation,
Commercialization and Information Sharing issued in 2012
- So eto nga act na eto is expected to enhance innovation by providing a framework and support
system for the ownership, management, use and commercialization of intellectual property
arising from government-funded research and development (R&D).
- To better address needs in terms of human capital, the Fast- Tracked Science and Technology
Scholarship Act (2013)
- This programs seeks to strengthen the country's science and technology education by fast
tracking graduates in the science, mathematics, and engineering who shall teach science and
mathematics in secondary schools throughout the country. So
- The Philippine National Health Research System Act (2013) - The Philippine National Health
Research System Act of 2013 (RA 10532) institutionalized the memorandum of understanding
among the DOST, DOH, CHED and UP Manila to work towards “improving the health status,,
productivity and quality of life of Filipinos by (1) ensuring that health research is linked to the
health system needs; (2) ensuring that investments in health research yield the most benefit; (3)
promoting good governance among health research organizations through efficient, effective,
transparent and ethical health research management system ; (4) engaging in national and
international partnerships and networks for health research development and (5) ensuring
sustainability of resources for health research.” It was generally assumed that research ethics
was embedded in objectives
