INTRODUCTION
✓ In this lesson, we will examine the impact of science and technology in the growth of
the Philippine society
✓ it provides a concise historical context in the Philippines
✓ the growth of science and its development as a field in the country is a hybrid of
indigenous and foreign ideas
✓ Spain and US (former colonial masters of the country)
- they established schools and introduced science education (basic-tertiary
education)
- they open the country global trade
Science and Technology in the
Philippines
❑ The Filipino used indigenous and ingenious technology in building their
homes, planting, fishing and building irrigation systems
❑ Tools for warfare
❑ Created musical instrument

❑ Life during the Spanish period was modernized
❑ Filipino adapted some western technology
❑ Filipinos are creative that they were able to replicate the technology
❑ Spaniards also introduced some engineering works by building bridges,

The brief history of science and technology in the Philippines is shaped by several
influences. It was shaped by human and social activities both internal and external.
Internal influences

Government Policies on Science and
Technology
Padilla-Concepcion (2015) reported that in 2015, the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) requested expertise of the National Research Council of the Philippines
(NCRP) to consult various sectors to study how the Philippines can prepare itself achieve
the ASEAN 2015 Goals

The NCRP clustered these policies into four, namely:


• Cluster 1: Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, and International Policies and
Governance
• Cluster 2: Physics, Engineering and Industrial Research, Earth and Space Sciences, and
Mathematics
Government Policies on Science and
Technology
• Cluster 3: Medical, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Sciences
• Cluster 4: Biological Sciences, Agriculture, and Forestry

The Philippine Congress has also created various laws related to


science and technology. These laws serve as our legal framework for
science and technology in the country.
