Republic of the Philippines

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Congi:-atuJations to the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines, for successfully organizing the 35th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) with the theme, "Harnessing Science and Technology: Reversing the Decline of the Manufacturing Sector in the Philippines".

Recognizing the importance of science and technology in the development of our economy, your theme this year is very timely as it initiates discussion on one of the most important sectors in our society-the manufacturing sector.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) leads and supports industry development initiatives, including those that strengthen local manufacturing. Through its dynamic Small Enterprises Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP), the Department gives technology assistance to augment productivity and competitiveness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) including but not limited to those engaged in exports especially those who are in food processing, metals, semi conductor and JCT, furniture, agriculture and aquaculture, to name a few.

It is with much pride that the DOST, through the Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI),has successfully established the Advanced Device and Materials Testing Laboratory(ADMATEL), a new testing facility with the objective of reinforcing and upgrading the failure analysis and materials testing facilities of our local semiconductor and electronics industries. It is envisioned to serve not only the local industry but the semiconductor and electronics industry in the Asia-Pacific region in the future.

We are confident that the resolutions and recommendations of the ASM, through the presentation of new and scientific technological findings, will be able to generate more innovative ideas and approaches to achleve our goal of redefining the manufacturing industry in the country.

It is our hope that the different sectors at the local and national level will continue to collaborate and support our inrnatives and endeavours to ensure greater productivity and competitiveness among our. local manufacturing industries. It is through science and technology, that we can further strengthen and bolster our economic stature. Mabuhay po tayong lahat.

NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, PHILIPPINES

On behalf of the Officers and Members of the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST PHL), 1 am pleased to welcome you all to the NAST 3Sth Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

The ASM is a gathering of scientists from all over the country to discuss relevant issues related to science and technology. Revolving around the theme, Harnessing Science and Technology: Reversi11g the Decline of the Ma11ufa.cturi11g Sector in tlte Philippines, this yea.r's ASM generally aims to sensitize the manufactu ring sector to improve productivity by using the latest technologies in order to be globally competitive. TI1e decline in manufacturing output and emp1oyment may be attributed to the minimal use of science and technology to improve productivity. TI1is has been a recurring observation in the eight (8) roundtable discussions that were held in preparation for this annual event.

The high1ights of the Academy's successive round table discussions will be presented during the various plenary sessions. It is our hope that the results of the 3Sth ASM would identify a technology-explicit road map that would revitalize the manufacturing sector and hopefully be considered by the national and Jocal leaderships and all concerned in reversing the decline of the manufacturing sector in the Philippines.

During this meeting, the Academy will also recognize outstanding achievers in science and technology whose important accomplishments will certainly lead to the betterment of the country.

For generously sharing their resources and expertise, I acknowled~e all the members of the steering committee, our co-sponsors, and stakeholders for helping us organize this ASM. Our gratitude extends also to the science community headed by our Honorable Secretary Mario G. Montejo for their continuous support of all the activities of NAST.

History The National Academy of Science and Technology1 Philippines

is the symbol of the nation's commitment to science. The proposal for its creation originated from the University of the Philippines and was heartily endorsed by the National Science Development Board (the predecessor-agency of the Department of Science and Technology) to the President of the Philippines. On 06 October 1976, the National Academy of Science was created by Presidential Decree 1003. A subsequent amendment established instead the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines and expanded the base of its membership. Thus1 PD. 1003-A signed on 17 December 1976, is the enabling legislation for the present NAST.

The science community then submitted nominations of the most eminent among them to be members of the Academy. The President of the Philippines named ten scientists from a wide range of disciplines to be the first Academicians in 1978. Henceforth, nominations have continued to come from the scientific community but their election as Academicians is the prerogative of the members of the Academy alone, fallowing their strict rules of review and selection. Every Member is distinguished, known nationally and internationally in his or her own right. Collectively, the Academy represents the best of what this country has produced in science and technology.

The Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) started in 1978 and has since earned the distinction as the most prestigious Philippine scientific conference. The NAST Transactions, composed of papers presented in the ASM, is the annual journal of the Academy. NAST also publishes books and monographs based on studies of its members and other renowned scientists.

Along with these, the Academy provides meaningful incentives to those involved or would like to engage in scientific and technological endeavors.

Deadline for submission of nominations is on the last working day of November.

Scientific Linkages Function Since 1978, the Academy has forged international and national scientific linkages with other science, engineering, and technology academies and similar organizations. These linkages aim to: (1) promote collaborative efforts among Filipino scientists, and between Filipino and foreign scientists; (2) promote and encourage scientific cooperation through its Scientist Exchange Visit Program under the memorandum of agreement between NAST and a foreign science academy; (3) endorse participation in international conferences, meetings, fora, seminars, workshops, and similar scientific activities; and (4) publish and exchange scientific bodies of literature.

Through these scientific linkages interested scientists may seek grants for scientific and technological undertakings, including fellowships, research grants, study visits, and grants for other collaborative projects from the academies associated with the National Academy of Science and Technology.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting Harnessing Science and Technology:

Reversing the Decline of the Manufacturing Sector in the Philippines

The continuing decline in the productivity and viability of the local manufacturing sector has been the subject of much discussion. This decline has been the cause of much concern. Many observers attribute the decline to a combination of several factors. Perhaps the factor that concerns the science community is on the access and use of modern technology.

NAST PHL has adopted this theme for the 35th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). The objective is to be able to sensitize the manufacturing sector to improve productivity by using the latest knowledge, tools and machineries in order to respond in a timely manner. The ASM should also be able to identify a technology explicit road map to revitalize the manufacturing sector by adding value to the inputs in the manufacturing process.

The Academy trusts that the results of the 34th ASM will be favorably considered by the current administration as a guide to assist the concerned departments and agencies in preparing and implementing the roadmap for the water sector.

The 34th ASM was preceded by a series of roundtable discussions during which the Academy examined and discussed critical issues and concerns about water that went beyond the need for access to clean, safe water for domestic consumption . Topics discussed during the RTDs were water-related needs relevant to (1) health and sanitation including sewerage and septage management, (2) foo d security and livelihoods, irrigation and drainage for agriculture and fisheries, (3) protection and management of watersheds and coastal seas for conservation of biodiversity and ecological sustainability, (4) for disaster mitigation i.e. drainage and flood control, and (5) energy security i.e. hydro-power generation. TI1e outcomes of these RTDs were presented and discussed in the 34th ASM Plenary Sessions.

i @! ~h~~::;~e:ommittee on Biosafety of the l : The National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines : I (NCBP) is the lead authority that harmonizes and coordinates I I inter-agency and multi-sector efforts on biosafety-related un- 1 I dertakings. It is corn posed of the Secretaries of the Depart-1 ments of Science and Technology, Agriculture, Health, Environ-: ment and Natural Resources, Foreign Affairs, Trade and lndus-1try, and Interior and Local Government, with the DOST Secre-1 tary as the permanent Chair. It also has members from the sci-1 entific and research corn mtrnity, consu mer and industry I groups, and the civil society. I

: The NCBP was established in 1990 through Executive Order I No. 430 as the lead body t hat shall oversee compliance with I biosafety policies and guidelines of al l institutions engaged in I modern biotechnology. In 2006, the NCBP was strengthened I by virtue of Executive Order No. 514 (E.O. 514) and was man­: dated to be the overarching body that will implement the Na-1tional Biosafety Framevvork. Pursuant to its mandates, the I NCBP is conferred with key functions under existing laws that I enables development of biosafety policies and coherent scien­ltific, t echnical and procedural standards significant to achiev­: ing decisions that promote and ensure biosafety in the coun-1t1y.

I !Through E.0. 514, the respo11sibilities of the NCBP member-1 agencies were also delineated to cover risk assessment of I GMOs aside from agricultural crops. The DOST is mandated to : take the lead in evaluating applications of and in monitoring I work on GM Os under contained use; DA to evaluate and I monitor GMO applications for field testi ng, commercialization I and for direct use; DENR to ensure that environmental risk I assessments are done and irn pacts identffied in biosafety de- I

: dsions, and shall also evaluate and monitor all GMO applica-: 1tions intended for bioremediation and improvement of forest I and wildlife genetic resources; and, DOH to evaluate and I monitor processed food derived from or containing GMOs. I 1The four regulatory agencies are expected to establish their : own biosafety corn mittees in accordance with their mandates. I Procedural guidelines have also been developed and en-1 ha need to achieve a seamless regulatory structure. I I Visit the NCBP website at http://www.ncbp.dost.gov.ph for fur-l /1 · I ·

Jt5t .. Department of Science and Technology­'JitJ Biosafety Committee

By virtue of E.O. 514, the DOST created its biosafety cornrnittee (DOST-BC) to take the lead in ensurin9 t hat biosafety policies, measures, guidelines and decisions are made on the basis of sci­entific Information that is of the highest quality, rnulti­disciplinary, peer-reviewed, and consistent with international standards. The DOST-BC is mandated to handle applications of GMOs under containment, i.e. laborato1y, screenhouse, glass­house, greenhouse, in sectary and confined test

The DOST-BC exercise its jurisdiction and authority in concur­rence to t he requirements of transparency and public participa­tion.

To access information on approved GMOs for contained use, visit http.l/dost-bc.dost.gov.p_h.

Biosafety Clearing-House of the Philippines

The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, as stated in its Article 20, has set grounds for establishing the Biosafety Clearing­House (BCH) to faci litate its implementation across coun­tries. The BCH is a knowledge and information exchange tool that contains pe1tinent biosafety-related information and functions as a platform to discuss and share experi­ences of countries in implementing the Protocol.

Being a signatory to the Protocol, the Philippines had set up in 2008 its own BCH which was later popularized with the brand "BCH Pilipinas·. The BCH Pilipinas serves as a 'one-stop shop' where users can easily search and retrieve biosafely-related information in the Philippines. It further forges collaboration among regulatory agencies and their partners in extending information services tor the benefit of public and private research institutions, civil sodety organi­zations, and other stakeholders.

Information available in t he BCH Pilipinas includes pertinent laws and regulations governing GMOs, country decisions on GMOs used for food, feed, and processing, risk assess­ments and links to existing biosafety-related websites and databases of agencies and institutions engaged in modern biotechnology and biosafety.

To learn more about country decisions and risk assess­ment on GMOs, visit the BCH Pilipinos at h1tnif. bch.dost.gov.ph.
