Chapter 3: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND NATION-BUILDING

Learning Outcomes:
1. discuss the role of science and technology in Philippine nation-building
2. evaluate government policies pertaining to science and technology in terms of their contributions
to nation; and
3. identify actual science and technology policies of the government and appraise their impact on the
development of the Filipino nation
Introduction
 The development of science and technology in the Philippines has already
come along way. Many significant inventions and discoveries have accomplished by
or attributed to Filipinos.
 There are two factors:
a. Internal Influences
 Survival
 Culture
 Economic Activities
b. External influences
 Foreign Colonizers
 Trades with Foreign Countries
 International Economic Demands
PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD
 use of certain plants and herbs as medicines

 implementation of systems of farming and animal raising
 development of different modes of transportation (terrestrial and maritime)
 rice terraces were built by hand
 Incorporation of an irrigation system that uses water from the forest and mountain tops
 interpreted the movements of the heavenly bodies to predict seasons and climates
 development of tools for everyday use
 developed technologies in creating musical instruments
 sophisticated designs of jewellery, ceramics and metal tools
 trading with China, Indonesia, Japan and other neighbouring countries
COLONIAL PERIOD
A. Spaniards
 modern means of construction (walls, roads, bridges and other large infrastructures)
 developed health and educations systems
 beginning of formal science and technology in the country
B. Americans
 Established a government agency, The Bureau of Science.
 establishes the public education system

Questions for reflection:
1. Trace the development of science and technology from the pre-colonial times
up to the present. What have you observed?
2. What do you think are the major contributions of science and technology to Philippine
nation-building?
3. What specific government policy do you like the most in terms contributing to the
development of science and technology in the Philippines?
4. What do you think are the major contributions of the Philippines to the field at present?
5. What policies do you want the government to implement in the near future?
Activity
Divide the class into 6 groups. Each group will be assigned to a president after Marcos. Identify
some achievements in the field of science and technology under the assigned administration
and trace how they helped shape the Philippines as a nation.
