The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has sealed an agreement with the country’s biggest cable provider alliance, the Philippine Cable Television Association, Inc. (PCTA), to create “DOSTv”, a 24/7 cable weather information channel to complement the services of DOST’s main weather agency, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

DOSTv shall broadcast accurate and up-to-date weather information of PAGASA, along with hourly satellite and Doppler images and weather sensors data from the Program NOAH website. NOAH, or theNationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards, is DOST’s flagship program for disasterpreparedness under the directive of President Benigno Aquino III.

 

Students and researchers at the Tarlac National High School Annex and  Carlos P. Romulo Library may now access the latest and most relevant science and technology (S&T) information for free, even sans internet connection,  via a stand-alone onsite research kiosk developed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

 

The Department of Science and Technology’s Information and Communications Technology Office (DOST-ICTO), industry partners , and a number of local government offices are pushing for Information Technology – Business Process Outsourcing as a career option to people, especially the youth, living in the regions.

Spearheaded by ICTO and Business Process Association of the Philippines (BPAP), these  IT-BPO awareness activities were designed to increase people’s understanding on the BPO industry.
