LEARNING ACTIVITY 1
The main role of science and technology is to improve the quality of life of people living
in a society. It is a powerful tool in addressing the different needs of society. The Philippines has
made significant advances in science and technology over the past few years. The country is
now home to a number of world-class research facilities, and its scientists are at the forefront
of many advanced fields. Filipinos have made great contributions in the area of science and
technology. In fact, there have been inventions by Filipino scientists that are not much known
by many. Perhaps their inventions are not that big or popular, but they can contribute to
science and technology not only in the Philippines but around the world.
The Philippines faces numerous global and local challenges that call for science,
technology and innovation. Some issues that need to be addressed are poverty, traffic
congestion, climate change and global warming, preservation of natural resources, coping with
natural disasters and calamities, and etc. The government already created different policies
such as Republic Act No 2067 also known as “Science Act of 1958”. This was enacted to
integrate, coordinate, and intensify Scientific and Technological research and development and
to foster invention including allocation of funds and other purposes, to improve economic
growth and in addressing these global risks and challenges. Another one is PAGTANAW 2050,
the first DOST funded inter-disciplinal and trans-disciplinal project on Philippine-focused
science, technology, and innovation (STI) Foresight and Strategic Plan, which suggests
significant drivers of change and provides insights and reflections on plausible STI development
paths that will impact on the aspirations of the Filipino people. It envisions harnessing the
talent and tools in science and technology to innovate towards a prosperous, archipelagic,
maritime nation by 2050.
Although the Philippines still lags behind some of its Southeast Asian neighbors in terms
of overall development, it is clear that the country is making significant progress in science and
technology. It is therefore necessary for our country to improve its educational system and
research facilities together with an attractive business environment to develop science and
technology issues.

1. Fe del Mundo - She was an alumna of the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Medicine. The first Asian to have entered the prestigious Harvard University School of Medicine. Invention: Incubator. An incubator is an apparatus used to maintain environmental conditions suitable for newborn baby. It is used in pre-term births or for some ill full-term babies. 2. Gregorio Y. Zara - He was the inventor of the first videophone. A native of Lipa, Batangas and enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, and graduated 3. Julian Banzon - He experimented with the production of ethyl esters fuels from sugarcane and coconut, and invented a means of extracting residual coconut and invented a means of extracting residual coconut oil by a chemical process rather than a physical process. Invention: Alternative fuels. Banzon gained recognition for his notable researches on the Philippine coconut and other indigenous materials as “renewable sources of chemicals and fuels.” 4. Marc Loinaz - The inventor of the one-chip video camera, a Filipino resident of New Jersey who works with Lucent Technologies. Invention: One-chip video camera.
