2. The Philippines has a rich history of scientific and technological development, influenced by various periods of colonization and its unique geographical setting.

3. Pre-Colonial Period Simple stones and metal tools were used, which gave rise to the development of ceramics, potteries, weavings, handicrafts, and other devices.

4. Pre-Colonial Period Since water bodies surround the Philippines, Filipinos created good technology in shipbuilding in 1000 AD. These ships were used for transportation, trading, and fishing.

5. Pre-Colonial Period Before the spaniards came, Filipinos were already aware of activities and practices related to scienc eand technology. they have learned the curative values of plants and able to extract the medicine out of it, they had an alphabet, counting methods, weights, measurements method, and calendar they based on the moon period.

6. Spanish Colonial Period The onset of modern science and technology in the Philippines came upon colonization of the Spaniards. Science as a profession arose after establishing schools, hospitals, and research facilities that were controlled by religious sectors at that time. However, the research discoveries and technologies were for the benefit of Spain's colonial government, not for the Filipinos. The Church was so influential and dominant in those times that the study of natural sciences was discouraged.

7. Spanish Colonial Period The end Spanish regime developed only two science professions, the medicine, and pharmacy professions since the Philippines also became a predominantly agricultural country. Industrial sectors such as the sugarcane and tobacco industry were modernized due to the entry of foreign technology and investments. At the same time, other areas, such as weaving, declined because of a lack of support from the government

8. American Colonial Period During the American settlement in the country, secularized public schools were established wherein the early educators were Americans. The University of the Philippines and the Philippine Normal College (now the Philippine Normal University) were established. Scientific knowledge and many technological advancements were taught primarily in those universities

9. American Colonial Period In 1905, the main research facility in the country until World War II was established. This was the Bureau of Science responsible for doing researches about science and technology. Since leprosy, dengue, and malaria were the most frequent or common diseases, researchers focused on the development of the cure for such diseases. In 1906, the Philippine Journal of Science was established to report scientific findings and observations of Filipino scientists

10. Japanese Colonial Period In 1947, the Bureau of Science was replaced by the Institute of science. In 1952, the Science Foundation of the Philippines was established to promote science among Filipinos.

11. After World War II, scientific and technological development was revived. Because of this, more institutions for higher education were established. Science and technology in the country further developed due to increased government support and higher public awareness. More scientists, scientific researches, and scientific organizations grew and came up.

12. Some Notable Filipino Scientists 1. Dr. Fe del Mundo was a pioneering Filipino pediatrician whose contributions significantly shaped the field of pediatrics in the Philippines and beyond.  2. Eduardo Quisumbing: Renowned for his work in plant taxonomy. 3. Gavino Trono: Expert in tropical marine phycology.

13. These efforts reflect the Philippines’ commitment to leveraging science and technology for national development.
