DOST says UPLB will help pave the way to a Smarter Society. In his remarks at the UP Los Banos Foundation Day, DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo (picture above) cited the numerous contributions of the leading tertiary institution in Calabarzon in achieving a healthy science community in the fields of agriculture, forestry, and natural resources. From the time it earned full university status in 1972, UPLB has produced 30 of the 112 members of the National Academy of Science and Technology of the Philippines (DOST-NAST) and 13 of 31 National Scientists of the country.
