1. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLGY AND NATION- BUILDING

2. INTRODUCTION The development of science and technology in the Philippines has already come a long way. Many significant and discoveries have been accomplished by or attributed of Filipinos.

3. A. PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD Scientific and technological development in the Philippines began in the pre-colonial period. E arly Filipino settlers were already using certain plants and herbs as medicines. Systems of farming and animal-raising were also implemented. E arly Filipinos had also developed different modes of transportation, whether terrestrial or maritime.

4. Prior to the introduction of horses and wheeled vehicles by Spanish colonizers, our ancestors moved by raft or native outrigger boat powered by paddles and sails, hopping from island to island or coastal point to point.

5. Baybayin is one of the precolonial writing systems used by early Filipinos. The term “baybayin” comes from the Tagalog root word baybay, which means “to spell.”

6. B. COLONIAL PERIOD Colonization by the Spaniards provided the Philippines with modern means of construction. Walls, roads, bridges, and other large infrastructures were built using some of the engineering skills and tools brought about by the Spaniards. Spanish government developed health and education systems that were enjoyed by the principalia class.

7. Kalesa were first introduced to the Philippines in the 1700s by the Spanish. It became the major public and private form of transport in the Philippines up until the early 20th century.

8. C. POST COLONIAL PERIOD After achieving independence from the colonizers, the Philippines, under different administrations, continued to pursue programs in science and technology. Each leadership had its own science an technology agenda.

10. Under his term, many agencies in science and technology were established and strengthened, including the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( PAGASA ) in place of the abolished Weather Bureau . National Academy of Science and Technology ( NAST ); and the reconstituted National Science and Technology Authority (originally established in 1958 as the National Science and Development Board and now the Department of Science and Technology)
