1. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN NATION BUILDING

2. Learning Objectives: At the end of the unit, you should be able to: discuss the role of Science and technology in Philippine nation-building; evaluate government policies on Science and technology in terms of their contributions to nation-building; identify the government's actual science and technology policies and appraise their impact on the Filipino nation; and cite the importance of science-related programs and projects in the development of the Philippine economy.

3. What made Japan become one of the largest economies and one of the most-developed nations after World War II? How did china become and economic powerhouse in the 21 st century?

4. Why is science and technology important in building the nation? The state of science and technology determines part of the socio-economic progress of country. It is a well-known fact that national progress is highly correlated to the capacity of the country to produce local industrial goods for domestic needs and that industrialization is very much dependent on the capacity of a country to use science and technology to progress locally-found raw materials into high-tech products and tools for households and other users.

5. Science and Technology is associated in all means with modernity and it is an essential tool for rapid development.

6. Modernization is the current term for an old process—the process of social change whereby less developed societies acquire characteristics common to more developed societies. The process is activated by international, or inter-societal, communication.

7. The major categorization is based on economy and the application of science and technology. Countries which have a strong base in science and technology are the ones that developed faster.

8. It is estimated by the World Bank that seven of the ten largest economies of the world by 2020 would be in Asia, China, Japan, India, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and Taiwan.

9. Why is science and technology important in building the nation? Science and Technology Ensure health care Increase agricultural productivity Conserve and protect the environment Produce quality goods Secure peace, order and stability Increase economic productivity Manage natural disaster Generate jobs for worker Efficiently deliver social services Develop good infrastructure

10. A nation’s development and prosperity is judged to a large extend by the status of science and technology of that nation. A scientifically unsophisticated society means an underdeveloped nation in all sectors.

11. Important role Of S&T in the Philippines In the 1987 Philippine constitution, Science and technology are given priority to "foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and development."; In section 10, Article XIV, it is stated that "Science and technology are essential for national development and progress."

12. Philippine Government Science and Technology Agenda How the Philippine Government manages and develops Science and technology through its policies and program? The government mandates an "increase use of scientific and technological breakthroughs." The government aims to do this by "promoting and accelerating technology adoption" and stimulating innovation." It is based on the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022.

13. This agency established to "provide central guidance, leadership, and coordination of research and technical activities and ensure that the findings from such activities are directed and used in areas of full economic and social benefits for the people." It is composed of three (3) sectoral planning councils, seven (7) research, and development institutes, two (2) collegial bodies, six (6) service institutes, and several regional and provincial offices

14. Aims of DOST’s Programs, Projects and Activities Stimulation and innovation Promotion and acceleration of technology adoption Development of critical mass of globally competitive human resources on Science and Technology Increased productivity and efficiency of micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs (MSMEs) Ensure resiliency to disaster risks and climate change Reduced inequality in science and technology capacities and opportunities Achieve practical science and technology governance

25. THE PHILIPPINE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGENDA AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

26. Science and Technology Agenda for National Development The Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND) spells out the areas which will be the focus of scientific and technological efforts in 1993 to 1998. It is a part of a series of measures that shall be pursued to realize the vision of Philippines 2000 which is to make the Philippines a newly industrializing country (NIC) by the end of the century. The STAND emphasizes the development and utilization of superior technologies to a level of competitive advantage. This document indicates the major S&T intervention areas identified from a process of technical assessment and consultation. The S&T intervention areas shall serve as basis for developing S&T programs and projects by implementing agencies and for funding S&T programs and projects of DOST and other government agencies and institutions.

27. Role of Science and Technology Poverty Alleviation Affordable Energy Water Supply Education

28. Impact of Technology in Society Technology has improved transportation. Technology has improved communication. The World Wide Web. Technology has improved education and learning process.

29. The Harmonized National R&D Agenda (HNRDA)

30. The Harmonized National R&D Agenda (HNRDA) The HNRDA is organized into 5 sectors: National Integrated Basic Research Agenda Health Research and Development Agenda Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation

31. National Integrated Basic Research Agenda To express support in the Philippine Development Plan, National Security Plan, and the Science for Change Program led by DOST, the NIBRA focus on basic principles of research. It has 6 programs, namely: Water Security- TUBIG Program ( Tubig ay Buhayin at Ingatan ) Food and Nutrition Security- SAPAT Program ( SaganangPagkain Para saLahat ) Health Sufficiency- LIKAS Program ( LikasYamansaKalusugan ) Clean Energy- ALERT Program (Alternative Energy Research Trends) Sustainable Community- SAKLAW Program ( SaklolosaLawa ) Inclusive Nation Building- ATIN Program ( AngTinigNatin )

32. Health Research and Development Agenda The collaborating agencies for health research and development agenda are the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) under the DOST and the National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA). The research priorities for this agenda include diagnostics, drug discovery and development, functional foods, hospital equipment and biomedical devices, information and communication technology for health, nutrition, food quality and safety, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and molecular technologies for health.

33. Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources The research priorities for agriculture, aquatic and natural resources include crops, livestock, aquaculture, forestry, natural resources and environment, technology transfer, socio economics, and policy research.

34. Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology The Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD- DOST) is responsible for the implementation of research priorities of this agenda. The research priorities focus on food and nutrition security, countryside development, competitive industry, delivery of social services, intelligent transport solutions, renewable energy and energy storage solution, and human security.

35. Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation The research priorities for this agenda were evaluated and finalized by a group of people from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Its research priorities are directed toward observation and monitoring networks, technology development and application for monitoring, modeling and simulation for improvement for monitoring and forecasting; hazards, vulnerability and risk assessment; warning and communication of information; technology development and application for climate change mitigation and adaptation; technology development and application for disaster risk management and policy.
