A former professor of statistics and agricultural engineering at the Romblon State University was adjudged as the best provincial science and technology (S&T) director of the entire Department of Science and Technology (DOST) system during the  Outstanding Provincial S&T Director awarding ceremony at the DOST Executive Lounge in Bicutan, Taguig City recently.

Dr. Bilshan Servañez of  Region IV-B Romblon, who has been in government service for 22 years,  bested three other finalists to garner the esteemed award. Engr. Mario dela Peña of Region VII Siquijor grabbed first place, while Felina C. Malabanan of Region IV-A Batangas and Angelita Parungao of Region III Bulacan, took runner-up positions in the annual awarding rites.

 

The latest IT and advanced science books may now be accessed by students and researchers at the Department of Science and Technology’s information agency. Located at the DOST Complex in Bicutan, Taguig City, Metro Manila, the Science and Technology Information Institute (STII) recently acquired the library collection of the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD).

With the transfer of the books and materials from PCIEERD to STII, the latter further beefed up its already vast selection of science and technology (S&T) resources being the central library of the DOST system.

 

By February 2014, expect the long queues for government transactions to start disappearing as PhPay – an Internet-based electronic payment facility developed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – is expected to go live by that month.

This was revealed during the year-end activity of the Integrated Government Philippines iGovPhil) Project last December 11, 2013 at Ayala Land Techno-Hub in Quezon City.
