TO honor our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, on his 125th year of martyrdom, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) — through its Science and Technology Information Institute — held a virtual presser on Dec. 28, 2021 in line with the unveiling of the historical marker and 3D-printed Rizal monument on Dec. 30, 2021 at the DoST complex.
Prof. Fortunato de la Peña, DoST secretary, gave his message about Rizal as a Filipino scientist and highlighted the hero's life and legacy as a rationalist that must be remembered to inspire us to be more focused on cultivating advanced learning and technology. In line with the commemoration of Rizal's death anniversary, a series of webinars about him, which started in 2022, would continue until March 2022.
