To celebrate its 80th Foundation Anniversary this December 8, 2013, the Department of Science and Technology - National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP) will show various research-based technologies and state-of-the-art science and technology information to the public in a program dubbed as Agham Mula sa Lahat, Para sa Lahat. This activity will be held on 6 December 2013, Friday, 8 am onwards,  at the NRCP Compound, Gen. Santos Ave., Bicutan, Taguig City.

 

Tulang Diyot, a 1.5 kilometer long by 500 meter-wide island, belongs to the Camotes group of islands between the provinces of Cebu and Leyte. Its pristine waters along the sandy beach make it the perfect hideaway – a respite from the chaos of city life to a paradise untouched by modernity.

However, on November 8, 2013, the island paradise was transformed into a desolate wasteland as Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) unleashed its fury with winds of up to 340 kph,battering the houses and leveling them to the ground.
