The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) batted Wednesday, April 21, for the passage of the proposed Science for Change Act to ensure that more funding will be committed for country’s research and development initiatives.
DOST Undersecretary for Research and Development Rowena Cristina L. Guevara made the call during the virtual celebration of the first-ever National Innovation Day, jointly conducted by the DOST, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and World Bank.
“There is a need for our industries to engage R&D and to engage partners in the academe and research and development institutes. It behooves the government to actually put money on this activity as R&D is a risky activity and you’re going to need the government to hold the private sector to get there,” she said.
