The Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII), the information arm of the Department of Science and Technology, aims to strengthen its partnership with the media through the recognition of the media’s contributions in the promotion of science and technology information either as an individual or as an institution, whether public or private sector. DOST-STII also acknowledges the significant role of DOST regional information officers in helping achieve the Department’s thrust of promoting S&T information and bringing science for the people.

Bantog: The Science for the People Media Awards is given in recognition for the important role of media practitioners (print, radio, TV, and online), in government and private practice, who made significant contributions to the promotion of science and technology information.

In another step to expand its library services, the Department of Science and Technology-Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII) recently partnered with FELTA Multimedia, Inc. in establishing the Center for the Arts in Science and Technology (CAST) in DOST.


“The realization of the CAST project will not be possible without engaging ourselves with various partners like FELTA who can provide us with educational materials and training sessions that can help modernize our library,” quipped STII Director Richard P. Burgos.
