GOVERNMENT POLICIES

ON SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
 The Philippine government
introduced and implemented several
programs, projects, and polices to
boost the area of science and
technology.
 According to Padilla-
Concepcion (2015), in
response to the ASEAN
2015 Agenda, the
government, particularly
the Department of
Dr. Gisela Padilla Science and Technology
Concepcion (DOST) has sought the
expertise of NCRP
The National Research Council of the Philippines
(NCRP) clustered these policies into four, namely;

1. Social Sciences, Humanities, Education,

International Policies and Governance

2. Physics, Engineering and Industrial Research,

Earth and Space Sciences, and Mathematics

3. Medical, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Sciences

4. Biological Sciences, Agriculture and Forestry

1. Social Sciences, Humanities, Education,
International Policies and Governance

• Integrating ASEAN Awareness in basic

Education without adding to the
curriculum.
• Emphasizing teaching in the mother
tongue.
• Developing school infrastructure and
providing for ICT broadband.
• Local Food Security
2. Physics, Engineering and Industrial
Research, Earth and Space Sciences,
and Mathematics
• Emphasizing degree, licenses, and
employment opportunities
• Outright grants for peer monitoring
• Review of R.A 9184
• Harnessing science and technology as
an Independent mover of
development
3. Medical, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Sciences

• Ensuring compliance of drug-manufacturing firms

with ASEAN-harmonized standards by full
implementation of the Food and Drug
Administration;
• Creating an Education council dedicated to
standardization of Pharmaceutical services and care
• Empowering food and drug agencies to conduct
evidence-based
• Allocating two percent of GDP to research
• Legislating a law supporting human genome
projects.
 4. Biological Sciences, Agriculture and
Forestry

• Protecting and conserving biodiversity by

full implementation of existing law
• Use of biosafety and standard model by
ASEAN countries
• Promoting indigenous knowledge systems
and indigenous people’s conservation
• Formulation of common food and safety
standards

 The Philippine-American Academy of Science and
Engineering (PAASE, 2008) identified several
capacity-building programs such as:
• Establishment of national centers of excellence
• Manpower and institutional development programs,
such as the ESEP to produce more PhD graduates in
science and engineering.
• Establishment of regional centers to support specific
industries that will lead the country in different
research
• Establishment of science and technology business to
assist, advise, incubate technopreneurship ventures.
• Strengthen science and education at an early stage
through the Philippine Science High School System.
There are many other areas and fields that the
country is looking forward to embark various
research and projects and these are the
following

1. Use of alternative and safe energy

2. Harnessing mineral resources
3. Finding cure for various diseases and illness
4. Climate change and global warming
5. Increasing food production
6. Preservation of natural resources
7. Coping with natural disasters and calamities
8. Infrastructure development
