This document provides a brief historical background of science and technology in the Philippines. It discusses how indigenous technologies were used for agriculture, housing, and tools. During Spanish colonization, formal schools were established introducing subjects and disciplines. American colonization further developed the education system, engineering, healthcare, and established the University of the Philippines. The government now implements programs and policies to promote science and technology through research funding, scholarships, and science parks. Several famous Filipino scientists are recognized for their contributions in fields like mango tissue research, satellite imaging, electrical engineering, and herbal medicine.

• They established the following:
• •Public education system • •Improved the Engineering works • •Improved health conditions of the people. • •Established a modern research university, University of the Philippines. • •Created more hospitals than the former colonial master. • • • Americans did everything to • “Americanize” the Philippines. • • They recognized the learning of science and introduced it in public and private schools. • • The desire of the Americans to develop the human resources of the Philippines is somehow, beneficial in the country. • • • Since the establishment of the new republic, the whole nation has been focusing on using its limited resources in improving its science and technological capabilities. • • It has explored the use of ODA or Overseas Development Allocations to help the countries improved its scientific productivity. • Government policies on science and technology • • introduced and implemented several programs, projects, and policies to boost the area of science and technology. • • GOAL: prepare the whole country and its people to meet the demands of a technologically driven world and capacitate people to live in a world driven by Science. • The NRCP clustered these policies into four, namely; • 1.Social Sciences, Humanities, Education, International Policies and Governance. • 2.Physics, Engineering and Industrial Research, Earth and Space Sciences, and Mathematics. • 3.Medical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. • 4.Biological Sciences, Agriculture, and Forestry. • • There are also other existing programs supported by the Philippine government through the DOST. Some of these projects are the following: • • •Providing funds for basic research related to science and technology. • •Providing scholarships for undergraduate and graduate studies of students in field of Science and Technology. • • Establishing more branches of the Philippine Science High School System • Creating a Science and technology parks • BalikScientist Program • •Developing science and technology parks • •Establishment of the National Science Complex• • Famous Filipino in the field of science • 1..Ramon CabanosBarba-for his outstanding research on tissue in Philippine mangoes. • 2.
