Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said in his pronouncement that refocusing some of the programs of the department to align with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s economic agenda would be their priority in the coming months.
These economic agendas pertain to food security, transport and logistics, health, renewable energy, education, disaster risk reduction and climate change, and job creation. And when the newly-appointed DOST Secretary discussed refocusing, it is more on presenting clear narratives of how several DOST programs, services, and research development (R&D) projects could provide a significant impact on these priority areas.

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) is marking its third anniversary this August with a month-long lineup of capacity-building activities. The celebration, themed Sama-samang Pagbangon Gamit ang Kaalaman Mula Kalawakan, will highlight the crucial role of end-users in harnessing information from space to benefit and empower communities. PINAS, or the PhilSA Integrated Network for Space-Enabled Actions towards Sustainability will visit Palawan province for the second leg of the project’s pre-implementation workshops this August in Puerto Princesa City. The PINAS project envisions communities empowered through the utilization of the full value chain of space data; the project is designed to enable various sectors to sustainably access space data according to their needs. The workshop is set to invite representatives from LGUs, regional government agencies, non-government organizations, and the academe involved in sectors where space data would be valuable for policy making. “We will be inviting representatives from the agriculture, DRRM, environment conservation, planning, and national security sectors to introduce the potential of space-based technologies in aiding them in the fulfillment of their mandates and daily operations,” Jamaica Pangasinan, PINAS project leader and PhilSA SMCOD Senior Science Research Specialist said.
