Technology
In the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration, the science and
technology sector of the Philippines was dubbed as the "golden
age" of science and technology by then secretary Estrella Albastro
[3]. Numerous laws and projects that concerns both the
environment and science to push technology as a tool to increase
the country's economic level. This is to help increase the
productivity from Science, Technology and Innovations (STI) and
help benefit the poor people. Moreover, the term
"Filipinnovation" was the coined term used in helping the
Philippines to be an innovation hub in Asia.

The STI was developed further by strengthening the schools and

education system such as the Philippine Science High School
(PSHS), which focuses in science, technology and mathematics in
their curriculum. This helps schools produce get more involve in
this sector. Private sectors were also encouraged to participate in
developing the schools through organizing events and
sponsorships. Future Filipino scientists and innovators can be
produced through this system.

 Contribution to Science and
Technology
Agriculture is the field in science concerned with the different
techniques of land cultivation and crop and livestock raising. The
Department of Agriculture (Philippines) (DA) is a government agency
responsible for the development of the Philippine's agriculture by
generating policies, investments, and support services for local and
export-oriented trade. In the Philippine Development Plan (PDP),
Chapter 4: Competitive and Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries
Sector, both agriculture and fisheries sector provide the needs and
raw materials for the market and surplus labor to the industry and
service sectors. The focus for improvement would be to create jobs
and raise income for farmers and encourage participation from them.
Development of the agricultural sector is critical in maintaining an
affordable price for food especially for the poor, which could lead to
inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Proceso J. Alcala is a former
district representative and the recently appointed DA secretary by
President Benigno Aquino III in 2010. He is considered the 'Father of
Organic Agriculture' because of his work in the Organic Agricultural
Act of 2010 (RA 10068).

President. Rodrigo Roa
Duterte
BIOGRAPHY
Duterte’s father served as governor of the province
of Davao, and his mother was a community activist
who had a prominent role in the “people power”
movement that deposed the authoritarian president 
Ferdinand Marcos and restored democratic rule to
the Philippines. Duterte earned a political science
 degree (1968) from Lyceum of the Philippines
University in Manila and a law degree (1972) from
San Beda College. In 1977 he joined the Davao City
 prosecutor’s office, where he remained until he was
appointed (1986) vice mayor of that city.
Duterte was elected mayor in 1988, and he was
reelected to that post twice over the subsequent
decade.
 Contribution to Science and
●
Technology
Science and technology in the country scored another milestone with the
signing of the Balik Scientist law by President Rodrigo Roa A. Duterte on
15 June 2018. Republic Act No. 11035, also known as an “Act
Institutionalizing the Balik Scientist Program,” would give more incentives
to returning Filipino experts, scientists, inventors, and engineers who would
share their expertise in the country.
● The enacted law would strengthen the implementation of the Department of
Science and Technology’s (DOST) Balik Scientist Program which was first
established in 1975 through Presidential Decree No. 819 but was only
implemented in 1986. Since its implementation, several scientists have
come back to the country on short- and long-term basis to mentor science
and engineering students and faculty along their line of expertise through
research and development, teaching, and other activities. This sharing of
expertise significantly contributed to the acceleration of the scientific, agro-
industrial and economic development of the country.
Through the Balik Scientist Law, a returning scientist can participate in
DOST’s Grants-in-Aid research and development. A grant may be provided
to the Balik Scientist and released through the host institution for the
implementation of the project in accordance with relevant government
regulations and the need of the program involved.
 Contribution to Science and
Technology
● President Rodrigo Roa Duterte formally presented the rank
and title of Order of National Scientist to Dr. Emil Q. Javier,
former Minister of Science and Technology and an advocate
of agricultural modernization, during a ceremony held at
Malacañang Palace on January 7, 2020.
● In August 2019, the president released Proclamation 781
which recognizes Dr. Javier's outstanding work in the field of
agriculture and his contributions to the progress of science
and technology in the Philippines and the world. It also
highlighted Dr. Javier's commitment to addressing the needs
of the poor through modern science, as well as the active
role he is playing in informing the public about how science
can be used to improve access to food and health, and in
ensuring high safety standards in research and production
of biotechnological innovations.
ACHIEVEMENTS
1.  6.8 percentage-point reduction in poverty from 23.5 percent
of the population when Duterte began his presidency to 16.7
percent by the end of 2019—equivalent to 6.1 million
Filipinos rescued from poverty.
2. The campaign against illegal drugs
3. Sanctioning of abusive utilities.
4. Breakup of some oligarchies.
5. Savvy fiscal management.
