The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) asked Thursday, March 5, lawmakers to give their all-out support to the country’s textile industry by helping the Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI), the agency’s textile research and development arm, promote its textile-related scientific developments, technologies, services, and programs.

DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña made this call during the Senate webinar on the state of the country’s textile economy held Thursday. “We need the concurrence of our legislators to move the advocacy for textiles to be regarded as an engine for growth in nation-building, while textiles also act to conserve the arts, culture, and tradition, in ties that bind us in community, and weave our society as a people,” he said.
