A. Identify 1 more Filipino scientist not mentioned above. Research on his/her contribution in
the field of Science. Discuss what made him/her pursue a career in science.
1. Identify several issues in the Philippines. What S & T related policies could be developed and
implemented to solve these issues? ==-+
Some issues in the Philippines includes the ASF (African Swine Fever) and rising cases of CoVid 19.
The medical, chemical and pharmaceutical science particularly the allocation of the 2% of the GDP to
research can be developed to solve these issues. 5% allocation of GDP to research might also help
the country to know more about the virus and they can also increase its allocation if they want to
develop a vaccine out of existing vaccines we currently have. It will also benefit the future since it
can help other scientifical research that can help to improve our daily living. They may also use it to
research on the possible way to mitigate the transmission of ASF that is causing the shortage of pork
throughout the country. Once they can mitigate or if by chance know how to cure the disease, it will
not only solve the shortage of pork, they may also use it to gain more money for the country through
exportation of pork.
2. Assess the implementation of some science and technology policies and projects in the country.
Suggest ways and means of improving its implementation or suggest new policies you think can
improve S & T in the Philippines.
The Biological sciences, agriculture and forestry is not being monitored properly in my opinion. It
may be due to lack of personnel that they cannot monitor all every people that do illegal logging but
it can be solved by increased in checkpoints conducted by the police or the military. In able to
conserve our mineral deposits, the government can increase the tax for foreign mining companies
that wants to do business in the country. In Medical, chemical, and pharmaceutical sciences, they
can increase the tax for cigarettes and liquor in order to ,minimize the cases where filipinos dies due
to lung diseases or kidney failure.
