Recognizing the role of science and technology in addressing the many problems faced by the country and its government, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said the Philippines must rely on science to find solutions to its problems.
Speaking at the 8th annual Balik Scientist Program Convention on Friday, October 14, Marcos said the pandemic has proven that “it is science that will provide for us the answers to the future.”
“I think we have come to learn better and better. We have learned the lesson better and better, that we must look to science, we must look to raw data, we must look to actual results, we must look to the scientific method for the answers that we are searching for,” he added. “We are listening now, and that’s why we look again on this very important aspect because climate change, as you well know, affects every single part — every single part of governance,” he further said.
He told the department to continue to strengthen the implementation of the Balik Scientist Program and find ways to provide more incentives to encourage more Filipino scientists to come back to the country and share their expertise.
