The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) officially sealed its partnership with the Land Bank of the Philippines at the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the OneSTore.ph Project last March 14, 2016 at LANDBANK Head Office, Malate, Manila.

Initiated by DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo and developed by DOST Region 2, OneSTore is an e-commerce web application that provides a marketing platform for DOST- assisted micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) around the Philippines under its Small Enterprise Upgrading Program (SETUP). It offers customers an effortless shopping experience and gives retailers simple and direct access to the largest customer base in the country.

 

To be globally competitive, the Philippines needs a critical mass of young peopleinterested in science and math and the way to achieve this is by teaching those subjects using interactive materials.

Engr. Filemon T. Berba Jr., president of the Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology (PFST) emphasized this during the Department of Science and Technology- National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP) Annual Scientific Conference and 83rd General Membership Assembly at the Philippine International Convention Center last March 16, 2016.
