I must confess to following local science developments. The Department of Science snd Technology’s social media pages are effective resources.
There is much excitement over local scientific developments such as the launching of the second Maya satellite and the development of the local diesel engine, and the continuous work of the onestore.ph online portal to promote locally processed products to a larger market.
With the further studies into virgin coconut oil’s antiviral properties and the local herbs to boost health, research and development advancements such as these demand our attention, and the people in the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) deserve our appreciation for patiently pushing such research.

As Christmas is upon us, i gathered some suggestions on how to get us to buy more local goods for the season. Every peso spent on the local economy is a benefit to the community, as getting this going is necessary as we all work towards recovery.
One, get a bowl of locally grown fruit on your noche buena and New Year’s Eve feast. Be sure to wash carefully. You can also buy locally made ham and food items, even buy a special dish from a local restaurant. Again, observe safe delivery protocols.
Many local suppliers and restaurants have Christmas packages for food favorites like ham and related dishes. Many of them, including retailers already have online shopping options even innovated by offering precooked frozen dishes for heating. Look up your local supermarket or online stores and restaurants for details. It is possible to enjoy them at home.
