Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology could make the implementation of Department of Science and Technology (DOST)’s umbrella program Smarter Philippines more efficient and reliable, so said DOST’s Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) Executive Director Louis Napoleon Casambre, in his opening remarks at the 2013 RFID Technology Awareness Workshop held at the ICTO-National Computer Center Building, Diliman, Quezon City.

To those a little late in technology information, RFID refers to any electronic device that uses radio waves to speed up the transmission of communication data for the purpose of identifying and sometimes locating and or sensing the conditions of objects, whether animate and inanimate.
