Pre-Spanish Era Before the arrival of the
Spaniards, the Filipinos were
actively involved in scientific
research and development,
resulting in the first wave of
primitive technology. They
were medicinal benefits of a
few plants on how to make
medicine from herbs. They
possessed an alphabet, a
writing system, a system of
counting, and weights and
measures.

Filipinos were already

involved in mining, weaving,
shipbuilding, and agriculture.
One of the more complex
works of pre-Spanish Filipino
engineering is the Banaue
Rice Terraces.

Spanish Era In the era of the Spanish

Regime 
Modern science and Became modernized
technology first emerged in
the Spanish colonial Filipinos replicated
Philippines under the Spanish technology brought by the
colonial rule. The Spanish Spaniards using indigenous
built schools, hospitals, and materials.
began scientific research, all
of which had a significant
impact on the development of
the nation's professions.
However, the role played by
religious orders in the
conquest and colonization of
the archipelago as well as the
economic and trade policies
implemented by the colonial
administration had a
significant impact on the
direction and rate of
development of science and
technology.
Spanish colonization of the
archipelago and conquest was
greatly facilitated by the
adoption of an essentially
religious strategy which had
previously been effective in
Latin America. Reduccion was
the process of combining the
numerous, scattered barangay
communities into fewer,
larger, and more tightly
packed towns that could be
heard over the church bells.
The net outcome of the
reduction was the
establishment of towns and
the establishment of the
current system of local
government. The Spanish
colonial authorities adopted
the pre-colonial ruling class,
the datus, and their
hereditary successors, into
this new structure to serve as
the heads of the lowest level
of local government, i.e., as
cabezas de barangay.
The Filipinos naturally resisted
reduction since it pulled them
away from their customary
sources of livelihood, such as
rice fields, streams, and
woods, and also subjected
them to the colonial
government's onerous
economic demands. In many
places, the first century of
Spanish rule resulted in
severe socioeconomic
instability and a fall in
agricultural productivity and
traditional crafts. Filipinos
migrated from their
barangays to the city to serve
in convents and therefore

Religious orders also had an
important part in the
development of the colonial
educational system in the
Philippines. Several decrees
were published in Spain
asking for the establishment
of a school system in the
colony, but they were not
implemented properly. During
the Spanish administration,
missionaries and parish
priests in the countryside and
cities were in charge of
primary education. Due to a
dearth of qualified teachers,
textbooks, and other teaching
resources, elementary
education was primarily
religious in nature.
Galleon Trade provided little
advantage to the Filipinos.
Direct participation in the
trade was restricted to
Spanish residents of Manila,
who were given cargo space
in the galleons. Many of them
just bet on these trade rights
and lived off the gains. The
Chinese were the ones who
avoid obligatory labor duties
in shipyards and woods in the
territory surrounding the
walled city of Manila. This
population movement would
contribute greatly to the
overcrowding of Manila and
its neighbors over the
centuries.
Medicine and advanced
science were introduced in
formal colleges and
universities.
Higher education during the
Spanish regime was generally
viewed with suspicion and
feared by the colonial
authorities as encouraging
conspiracy and rebellion
among the native Filipinos.
For this reason, only the more
daring and persevering
students were able to
undertake advantaged
studies.
The country became one of
the centers of global trade in
SEA. One of the most
developed places in the
region. the Philippines had
evolved into a primary
agricultural exporting
 benefited the most from
commerce. They served as
packers, middlemen, and
retailers, as well as providing
services and other abilities
that the Spanish community
in Intramuros required.
American Era During the American era,
science and technology
advanced rapidly in the
economy. Progress in
agriculture had been made
possible by some government
support for research and
education in this field. But it
was largely the entry of
foreign capital and technology
which brought about the
modernization of some
sectors, notably sugar and
hemp production. The lack of
interest in and support for
research and development of
native industries like weaving,
for example, eventually led to
their failure to survive the
competition with foreign
imports. Because of necessity
and the social prestige
attached to university
education, medicine and
pharmacy remained the most
developed science-based
professions during the
Spanish regime.
The galleon trade provided
little advantage to the
Filipinos. Thus, the Chinese
were the ones who benefited
the most from commerce.
They served as packers,
middlemen, and retailers, as
well as providing services and
other abilities that the
Spanish community in
Intramuros required.
More influence in the
development of Science and
Technology.
Philippines.
The development of science
gained more government
support along with efforts to
establish an old extensive
public school system and
public health programs.
During the American period,
science was oriented toward
agriculture, food processing,
medicine, and pharmacy. Due
to free trade policy with the
United States, which fostered
an economy centered on
agriculture and trade, limited
focus was given on the
development of industrial
technologies.
The American era is one of
the turning events in our
Philippine literary culture,
which has made it vibrant and
exciting. This time witnessed
the introduction of a new
language, English, as an
essential instrument for
literature and communication.
Establishing Infrastructure
Americans built roads, streets
and bridges.
Filipinos learned the value of
cleanliness, proper hygiene,
and healthy practices.
Hospitals, clinics, and health
centers were established
including public hospitals for
lepers.
Researches were done to
control malaria, cholera,
tuberculosis and other
tropical diseases.

arise from lowest economy
to slowly recovering and
gaining more and more
economic growth.

Learning and enhancing new
language.
The new infrastructure helped
make the movement of
products and service more
efficient.

MOVIE REVIEW
TITLE: WALL-E

Summary:
 This film is about a robot that wants to recover the earth. Wall-e is the last robot on
earth. Wall-E was living alone until he met Eve. Eve is also a robot from another
spaceship that's on a mission on Earth. Many humans that living with technology is
where Eve came from. Wall-e meets humans when it follows Eve to the galaxy, because
Eve died when it detected something that came from the earth, like the plants. Eve and
Wall-e wish to return to Earth. When the technology goes off, the people in there regain
their consciousness, as well as the captain of the spaceship, who also regains his
consciousness with the help of Eve. When he regains consciousness, he flies the
spaceship and returns to Earth. When they landed on earth, that's when they started to
plant and recuperate the earth to its old state. Then Wall-E stays on Earth together with
some robots and humans.
 Character/s:
 Wall-E
 Eve
 Captain B. Mccrea

Audience:
 Wall-E is good for children aged 5 years old and upwards .

Connection of The Movie in Science Technology and Society:

Opinion: (can be recommend or not? Why? Why not?)

 I highly recommend this film because it is good for everyone. They can relate to this
movie because they live in a world full of technology. Additionally, they can learn
information that they can use now or in the future because technology is advancing at a
rapid rate and there is a chance that the events depicted in this movie may one day
come true. The nicest thing about this movie is that it teaches the audience that
technology is bad for the planet and for everyone if we don't limit it.
