Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato de la Peña at last year’s National Science and Technology Week
A culture of science, technology and innovation (STI) would not be complete without a strong sense of patriotism, says the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), if Filipinos would like to widen the array of local industries.
“Just look around in our homes—many of the things we use are still imported,” says Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato de la Peña. “There’s still so much we can do.”
To cultivate such culture is the aim of National Science and Technology Week, DOST’s annual expo that has been running for almost three decades.
