HERE comes a 'new and revitalized' BPI-DoST Innovation Awards. This as the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DoST-SEI) and the BPI Foundation Inc. (BPFI), the social development arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands, signed a memorandum of agreement for the BPI-DoST Innovation Awards, a competition that aims to challenge bright Filipino students to actively participate in resolving problems in the community through science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

In a virtual ceremony held on November 29, Owen Cammayo, BPFI executive director, acknowledged the value of the partnership with the science department in its mission to be 'agents for sustainable, positive change.'
