ABOUT THE DOST LOGO

Excellence, Relevance, Cooperation and Cost-effectiveness

The logo of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) consists essentially of four circles joined together side by side to form a square. The circles symbolize unit particles, the building blocks of nature which are the subject and substance of science and technology. The circle design gives an illusion of movement signifying progress through Science and Technology.

The space in the center of the joined circles forms a four-pointed star symbolic of scientific creativity.

The logo' s three-color scheme represents the unknown(black), truth and enlightenment (white) and progress (blue).

The logo's four circles represent the four guiding principles in our S&T development: Excellence, Relevance, Cooperation and Cost-effectiveness

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

DOST of Occidental Mindoro

Birth and Evolution

The DOST Regional Offices were established when DOST was reorganized from the then National Science Development Board (NSDB) to the National Science Technology Authority (NSTA) on March 17, 1982, and vested with broader policy-making and program implementing functions.

On January 30, 1987, NSTA was elevated to become the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) under Executive Order (EO) No. 128. DOST’s functions and responsibilities were further expanded to enable it to pursue the declared state policy to support local scientific and technological efforts, develop local capability to achieve technological self-reliance, promote public and private sector partnership in S&T activities, and encourage the private sector to take a greater role in R&D activities. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 31 of EO 128, the DOST is also authorized to establish regional or field extension offices as may be necessary.

Three years later, the Provincial S&T Centers (PSTCs) were created through Republic Act No. 6959 on July 31, 1990, which lead to the establishment of PSTCs in every province of the country attached under the Regional Offices.

On September 2007, DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro signed a Memorandum separating the management of DOST-MIMAROPA from DOST-IV with a common administrative personnel sharing with DOST-CALABARZON. DOST-MIMAROPA holds office at DOST Complex in Bicutan, Taguig City with its first Regional Director, Dr. Ma. Josefina P. Abilay.

There were 10 regular employees stationed at the 5 Provincial S&T Centers who were transferred from the former DOST-IV to DOST-MIMAROPA. In 2008, 5 new regular positions at the Regional Office were approved out of the Rationalization Plan. In summary, DOST-MIMAROPA has 15 existing positions with 17 more required as per DBM National Budget Circular No. 484 and DOST Administrative Order No. 001, series of 2004 (refer to attachments).

Mandate

5. Develop institutional linkages with Regional Offices, other agencies, and local government and private organizations or entities for the effective planning and implementation of S&T programs in the region; and

The Provincial Science & Technology Center of Occidental Mindoro was first housed at the Provincial Capitol Compound in Mamburao. After a year, the PSTC was transferred to the premises of the Occidental Mindoro National College in San Jose. The PSTC later had its office at the Municipal Compound of San Jose. When the building was renovated, the PSTC transferred at the corner of Gabutero and Abeleda Streets, San Jose.

Chapter 3

1. What I have learned from experience? (technical)

As a student trainee, my work at the Department of Science and Technology is not quite hard like others. They complained to me that they have lots of works and stuff to do. My experience was that, I went to the office early in the morning and in the afternoon to start my task. I learned how to manage my time even though in the morning I have a class to attend to before I go to the office. I learned how to file some documents too. Every day I have to clean the office before we go home.

2. My experience with the people around me.

My experience with the people around me was nice. Funny sometimes serious because some job has to be made according to the scheduled time. As a trainee, I helped my colleagues to accomplish their work. Sometimes our boss was angry because we didn’t work well but other than that we learned from our mistakes.

3. The most memorable event during practicum.

The most memorable event during our practicum was when our boss Engr. Bobby made some jokes for my co trainee Mr. Quimoyog sometimes for me. And there was a time that the third floor building was full of mess though it was too hot there we have o do our task to clean it.

4. Evaluate the training and overall environment provider by the employer.

The over –all environment is not large enough but it is ok because many things in the office are interesting like the library section. I read lots of books and I learned new things that I haven’t learned before. Working sometimes makes me bored because no task has to be made. All day is boring but sometimes challenging.

5. Evaluate the practicum experience and how it has impacted my career goals

My overall practicum experience in the Department of Science and Technology helps me to improve my time management, my experience on how to work in an office helps me in my future goals.

6. What I recommend for the improvement of the Practicum Program.

My recommendation for the improvement of the Practicum Program is that the teacher or professor must provide enough time for us so that we could prepare ourselves for the practicum. Another recommendation is that, our school should look for a place or working place that will make us learn more and apply what we have learned from the school as a BSCS student. A more challenge working place that would help us grow more in the field of computer technology.

7. My advice to those who will take their practicum in the near future

My advice to those who will take their practicum in the near future is to prepare themselves to their working place. Be attentive and responsible as trainees so that they will learn more and select a working place that will help them apply what they have learned from the school as what I did in the Department of Science and Technology.

As a student trainee, my sincere gratitude to Engineer Bobby Matira for accommodating me in their office and helped me to learn more and grow more in my chosen course.
