A. THE PHILIPINE GOVERNMENT S&T AGENDA

B. MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND PERSONALITIES IN S&T IN THE PHILIPPINES

In the beginning of time, man has strived to improve his way and quality oflife. The caveman discovered
how to make and use tools, developed alogical sequence for activities, and evolved processes that added value
tohis life.
"Technology" describe as the totality of the use and application of his knowledge, skills, tools, and
materials constitutes what we have today.
"Developmet" - is simply becoming in the future of what industrialized countries are today.
- the acceleration of economic growth.
- the reduction of inequality.
- the eradication of absolute poverty.
The role of science and technology in development should be directed toward reduction of inequalities
between advanced and the developing countries and between various sections of population within a country.
The role of science and technology in development should make the natural and social environment
harmonious, without seriously endangering the future.
The role of science and technology in development should not be inserted as separate packages of
development techniques implemented in isolation from the rest of the national evolution whether material or
other wise failure to integrate development programs based on science and technology into national concepts
and ways of life may lead to their total rejection.
The role of science and technology for development must be directed within the framework of the
fundamental social, cultural, and economic rights in a peaceful and cooperative world.
