PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on Wednesday asked Filipino scientists and researchers to stay in the country, vowing to support their careers and the sector.
At the same time, the President urged them to partner with the government as it seeks to build a sustainable future.
Mr. Marcos said the country needs more local experts as it recovers from the pandemic and faces a “new economy.” “I also urge the DoST and all other concerned agencies to allocate resources to institutions that carry out research and development and integrate these in government programs,” he said. He said it is the government’s job to “give direction” so that research outputs can be immediately used by farmers, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, other businesses, and citizens.
“The material I can see is available. It is just a question of us incorporating it into our curricula, it is just up to us to give it an emphasis because in every aspect the STEM subjects have become terribly, terribly important,” he added. “This is critical as climate change is one of the important things that need to be addressed using science-based action.”
