MAJOR SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS IN THE
PHILIPPINES
BALIK SCIENTIST PROGRAM
A program developed in
1975 and was launched to
motivate well-trained
overseas Filipino experts in
their own fields, to come
home and share their
expertise for the
acceleration of the scientific
agro-industrial and
economic development of
the Philippines.
IRRADIATED CARRAGEENAN FERTILIZER
A product produced by nuclear scientist and agriculturist to
boosts the resiliency of rice plants, increasing the yield by
65 percent. It was funded by PCAARRD
CARA-VITA ORGANIC FERTILIZER
A new fertilizer additive that can
boost rice yields. It is derived
from seaweeds and vitamins.
Seaweeds have been used as
plant growth enhancer. This
was tried in some parts in
Bulacan , Laguna ,
Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija and
IloIlo. It was distributed to
farmers for free in 2016.
ELECTRIC TRAIN PROJECT
• Completed in 2015
• It was created to
enhance the efficiency
of public mass transport
system and it was
adopted by Department
of Transportation and
Communication.
PROJECT NOAH
(NATIONWIDE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF HAZARD)
• Through the collaboration of three
agencies such as PAGASA,
PHIVOLCS and ASTI (Advanced
Science and Technology Institute), they
developed a more accurate and
responsive disaster prevention and
mitigation system.
• It is the primary disaster risk reduction
and management program of the
Philippines.
PROJECT NOAH HAS THE FF. COMPONENTS:
a. Coastal Hazards and Storm Surge Assessment and Mitigation
(CHASSAM)
b. Disaster Risk Exposure Assessment for Mitigation – Light
Detection and Ranging (DREAM- LIDAR) Project
c. Distribution of Hydro meteorological devices in hard-hit areas in
the Philippines (HYDROMET)
d. Enhancing Geohazards Mapping through LIDAR technology
e. Flood Information Network (FloodNET) Project
f. Landslide sensors Development Project
g. Local Development of Doppler Radar Systems (LaDDeRS)
h. Weather Hazard Information Project (WHIP)
DISASTER RISK EXPOSURE
ASSESSMENT FOR MITIGATION
- A comprehensive mapping project
launched in 2012 that uses a
three-dimensional (3D) mapping
program and uses the LIDAR
system to effectively and
accurately measure critical flood
elevation and depth.
- It is one of the most extensive
mapping system in Southeast Asia
developed by Filipino Scientists
