Of all the agencies in Philippine government, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) may not be in the news very often but it certainly remains to be among the most interesting sources of growth and development whose potential only grows stronger over time.

Mandated by Executive Order No. 128 “to provide central direction, leadership and coordination of scientific and technological efforts and ensure that the results therefrom are geared and utilized in areas of maximum economic and social benefits for the people,” the DoST strives to formulate policies and projects to better the quality of life of Filipinos.
