    Questions For Reflection
    1.) Trace the development of Science and Technology from the pre-colonial times up to present. What have
    you observed?
     Here's the development of science and technology from precolonial period up to the present:
    800-1300 CE
    a. indigenous clocks and feedback mechanisms were developed
    b. Chinese developed eyeglasses
    1450s-1470s

    b. electronic voting
    c. Quantum computing
    d. Supercomputers

    I've observed that the early inventions are still the inventions using up to nowadays. The technology that
    we have now are very innovative devices and really helps people in their everyday activities. Because of
    this invention, our work became simpler as time goes by because the technologies that we have now are
    already upgraded of what we have during the precolonial period. Also, the things developed on the early
    years are the reasons why discoveries of our times became possible.

    2.) What do you think are the major contributions of science and technology to Philippine nation-building?
     The major contributions of science and technology to Philippine nation-building is associated to its
    socio-demographic development and industrialization. Technology plays an important role in wealth
    creation, improving quality of life and real economic growth and change in any society.
    There are no lives our society without science and technology today. This the reason why we
    called our generation as a modern time by the day to day changing of science and technology, where it
    made our works becomes easier. From arm to bed, everything is there because of science and
    technology. We don’t notice that our life totally depending unto them. Without them our life will be
    boring. Technology becomes a very important part of our lives today. In the past few years, technology
    has changed in many ways and is probably without a doubt it is better than ever before. People are
    always trying to find something new that will improve our lives. Some of the creations that have really
    changed our life are the computer, telephone, internet and electronic mail, television, cell phone and
    voice mail. Today, there is no work which cannot be done without the assistance of machines and there
    is not a single area of human activity where machines don’t have to be used. No one can deny the fact
    that gadgets have not only simplified our lives but also made them more comfortable and luxurious.
    Science and technology play a significant role in the rise or building up a nation because when people
    are educated, they become masters of everything and thus this gives an important rise in the society.
    nowadays life with technology is impossible for the youths they are strongly addicted to it. and thy learn
    many new things and pass on to others they are good users as well as bad users. science is one of the
    most important channels of knowledge. It has a specific role, as well as a variety of functions for the
    benefit of our society, creating new knowledge, improving education, and increasing the quality of our
    lives. Science must respond to societal needs and global challenges. The role that science and
    technology has played in improving the life conditions across the globe is vivid, but the benefit has to
    been harvested maximum by all countries. Science and technology have made life a lot easier and also a
    lot better with the advancement of medicines and analysis on diseases.

    3.) What specific government policy do you like the most in terms of contributing to the development of
    science and technology in the Philippines?
     Science and technology policy are one of the public policies that promotes appropriate funding to
    advance scientific and technological research and education, studies the impact of science and
    technology upon its citizenry, and prescribes regulation, if necessary.
    The specific government policy that I like the most is Physics, Engineering and Industrial Research,
    Earth and Space Sciences, Mathematics. Because, this policy encourages our scientist for innovation in
    technological advancement for the purpose of the public. Advancement in technology would somehow
    solve some of the issues like insufficient electrical distribution in all region and more.

    4.) What do you think are the major contributions of the Philippines to the field at present?
    This are the major contributions of the Philippines to the field of Science and technology at present:
     LIFE SCIENCES
    Department of Science and Technology (DOST)
    ● Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
    ● Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
    ● Philippine council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research Development
    (PCAARRD)
     ENGINEERING
    ● The National Engineering Center (NEC) was first established on January 29, 1978 as the research arm
    of the University of the Philippines College of Engineering.
     FOOD & NUTRITION
    ● The Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) was established as the principal research arm of the
    Philippine government.
     OTHER FIELDS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
    ● National Integrated Research Program on Medicinal Plants (NIRPROMP)
    - Mandated to distribute inexpensive medicine to the poor
    - Propagate the use of herbal preparations with proven medicinal efficacy
    - Identify scientifically validated medicine to improve the pharmaceutical industry

    5.) What policies do you want the government to implement in the near future?
     We cannot determine what our future holds, however, I want the government to make education FREE
    for all who wants to study in a preparatory, elementary, high school and college. This includes all,
    particularly books, uniforms, shoes, and the needs in school and implements as early as 16, each
    individual will own a house which they can move in right after school but staying with a guardian, or
    they are at their legal age and married. They can work for the cost of this house right after they finished
    school and began paying taxes. The taxes they paid for 4 years is enough for them to fully owned a
    house. Special task and policies will be given for those disable or has terminal diseases. I would also ask
    the government to allow everyone - no age limit, with or without experience, to work in any company
    and the companies who would discriminate the abilities of anyone won't be able to continue their
    business and immediately ask to stop their operation. This is to lessen the number of street kids,
    uneducated and lessen the number of crimes for everyone will be able to get a job. I would want for
    them to implement the increase of the salary doubled every year but should let them pay their taxes
    regularly for the next generation to experience the same.

    Activity:
