The National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) was replaced by the Department of Science andTechnology (DOST), giving science and technology a representation in the cabinet.b.She also created the Presidential Task Force for Science and Technology which came up with the firstScience and Technology Master Plan or STMP. The goal of STMP was for the Philippines to achieve newlyindustrialized country status by the year 2000.c.It was during her term that Executive Order No.128 abolished R.A. No. 3859, also known as the “PhilippineInventors Incentive Act.” This Philippine Inventors Commission was under the Science Development board. Itgave assistance to Filipino inventors through giving financial aid, patent application assistance, legalassistance, and to help inventors market their products domestically and abroad.d.Despite the abolishment of the Philippine Inventors Commission, her administration gave rise to newavenues for the government to aid the progress of Science and Technology in the country.6.DuringFidel Ramos’ presidencya.There was a significant increase in personnel specializing in the science and technology field.b.The Philippines had approximately 3,000 competent scientist and engineers.c.The “Doctors to the Barrion” Program made healthcare accessible even in far-flung areas in the countryd.The National Program for Gifted Filipino Children in Science and Technology was created for high schoolstudents who wanted to major in science and engineering in collegee.The Magna Carta for Science and Technology Personnel (Republic Act No. 8439), Science and TechnologyScholarship Law of 1994 (Republic Act No. 7687),f.Inventors and Inventions Incentives Act (Republic Act No. 7459), and The Intellectual Property Code of thePhilippines (Republic Act No. 8293) were established.g.During his term, Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND) was established.

The Department of Science and Technology (abbreviated as DOST; Filipino: Kagawaran ng Agham at Teknolohiya), is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for the coordination of science and technology-related projects in the Philippines and to formulate policies and projects in the fields of science and technology in support of national development.

History

The DOST was formed as the National Science Development Board on June 13, 1958, during the administration of President Carlos P. Garcia.[2] The science body was formed as a result of a law passed in the Congress upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked by Garcia to conduct a survey regarding the state of science and technology in the country. It was reorganized as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on March 17, 1981 and was given broader policy-making and program implementing functions.[3][4]

On January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the NSTA was elevated to cabinet-level status with the signing of Executive Order 128, and was renamed as the Department of Science and Technology.[4][5]
