Based on your readings, describe how advanced Science & Technology is in the
Philippines during Pre-Colonial Period; Spanish, American & Japanese colonization; and Post-
Colonial Period.
During the pre-colonial period, science and technology paved its way with our
natives who showed innovative way to survive in an unfriendly environment. They
used plants and herbs as medicines, created system of farming and animal-raising,
and also developed different modes of transportation. Having these great minds in
science and technology the cordilleras built rice terraces by hand which is still
functioning as of today. They incorporated irrigation system from the forests and
mountain tops to achieve an elaborate farming system. We can say that long before
the colonial period, our country has its own way of bringing science and technology
through their inventions that helped them in their essential needs in everyday life.
When the Spaniards came and colonized the Philippines for 333 years, they
brought new ways to improve our country through science and technology. They
provided modern means of construction. They built walls, roads, bridges and other
large infrastructures that made a big impact in our country that can still be seen
today. As of today schools that had been built during their colonization are still in
run having religion as one of the subjects in all levels. Also brought education and
health systems that the principalia class enjoyed. They made a big impact in our
country for they have been here for a long period of time. Their influences and
innovations are still present and existing in modern days that made history for them
and in our country.
Americans modernized almost all aspect of life here in our country. They
established government agency & Bureau of Science to nurture development in
science and technology, established Formal Education; 3Rs, built Univ. of Sto.
Tomas; Thomasites were the earliest teachers-soldiers and returned after the
invasion of the Japanese. They have been improving our ways of maintaining an
organize life through their government agencies. They are serious in providing us a
way on how to improve our country by developing agencies in science and
technology that is the center of innovations as of today.
Blood shed by our brave Filipinos when the Japanese invaded the Philippines.
Other than these tragic happenings, the Japanese also contributed in our
development in science and technology. They introduced nihonggo, their language
with us. Shared their culture and arts just like origami. Japan is one of the most
developed countries in the world in science and technology. During their
colonization, they had made history in the lives of our countrymen and also in our
innovations.

After achieving independence from all the colonizers, the Philippines, under
different administrations, continued the pursuance of programs in Science and
technology. Some presidents posted more developments in the field of Science and
Technology. One of them is the former president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Marcos focuses in the development of science and technology in our country. Under
his term, many agencies in science and technology were established and
strengthened. Marcos saw that the key in nation-building is the continued
development in science and technology. The development in science and technology
continued after his term by the succeeding presidents that made legacies in the field.
And as of now, we are constantly improving and developing our country with the
help of science and technology. S & T evolved from most basic to “environmentally
sustainable”.

With a concrete picture of Scientific and Technological standing in the Philippines in various
period, describe the governing authorities’ inclination to Science & Technology in those
timelines.
Pre-colonial Period
The leaders in ancient times was dedicated to save the lives of their community.
Being able to develop herbal medicines brings science and technology into another level.
Also they are very innovative to be able to develop ways to survive in those times having
unfriendly environment by utilizing nature’s gift and turning it into something that people
could benefit not just for that period but up until the present time.
Spanish Period
The governing authorities in those times are all foreigners obviously because we
were being colonized by the Spanish people. Their way of developing science and
technology in the Philippines really made a history for us. Up until now the structures that
they built still exists in some area in our country. Their constructions are very helpful to
make things comfortable and easier in that particular period. It became the starting point
of having advanced science and technology that still in run today.
American Period
Americans modernized almost all aspect of life here in our country. They
are more focused in nurturing science and technology in our country by
developing agencies like Bureau of Science.
Japanese Period
During these days Japanese people shared their culture and for me they
haven’t done a lot in our country in terms of science and technology.
Post-colonial Period
During Ferdinand Marcos’ presidency, the importance given to science
grew. In the amended 1973 Philippine Constitution, Article XV, Section 9 (1), he
declared that the “advancement of science and technology shall have priority
in the national development.” In his two terms of presidency and during Martial
Law, he enacted many laws promoting science and technology in nation-
building. In this period former president Marcos focused more on science and
technology and the succeeding president had its own legacies.

List several scientific and technological discoveries or inventions that were identified in a
particular period and under whose presidency. Have they contributed to Philippines nation-
building? In what way?
Pre-colonial period
Spanish Period
American Period
Univ. of Sto. Tomas. Yes, it helped in educating Filipinos that time that
developed their views around them and also in improving the country.
Japanese Period
Nihonggo. Yes, it made way for better diplomatic relationship between the
two countries.
Post-Colonial Period
Jeepney. Sergio Osmeña Sr. After independence from the United States was
declared in 1946, there was a surplus of American military jeeps in the

Since then, this ubiquitous vehicle has faced a lot of innovative
transformations until the modern “E-Jeepney” was finally introduced in Metro
Manila and Bacolod. Yes, it is the most common form of transportation in the
country today. Made transportation easier and accessible to the public.

science for the betterment of our society. Our community life changed from rural
living to urbanized cities, especially in Manila where it becomes very crowded due
to greater work opportunities and higher demands of manpower. Though as time
goes by, technical innovations have lessened the load of people and led to greater
demand of studying newly applied technologies. On the other hand, medical
science has contributed much to the cure and prevention of diseases including the
application of vaccines and the promotion of cheaper medicines. Lastly, the field of
communication welcomed a drastic change from the internet usage to the
different supply of cellular phones- in just a snap people from far distances can
already see and commune with each other. Until now, more inventions are being
researched and studied. However, no matter how many innovations have broken
out in the Philippines, the country’s progress isn’t much highly competitive.
Hopefully, as we welcome new seasons, there would be more support in studying
and advancing sciences in our country.
What do you think are the major contributions of the Philippines to Science and Technology
at present?
What specific government policy do you like the most in terms of contributing to the
developments of Science and Technology in the Philippines?
