President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Wednesday, Nov. 23, encouraged Filipino scientists and researchers to stay in the country and be an ally in nation-building.

In his speech at the opening of the 2022 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW), Marcos asked Filipinos in the field of science and technology to pursue their career in the country and share their expertise and skills.

“I encourage our Filipino scientists, researchers, investors, and innovators, to continue sharing your expertise, especially to young people,” Marcos said.

“I urge you to stay in the country as you pursue your career. We will continue to support you and continue to look to you to be active partners of the government,” he added.

Marcos assured his administration’s support for Filipino scientists by allocating resources for science and technology, research and development, as well as providing scholarships on science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM).

This, he said, as the Philippines continues to develop its workforce, capabilities, and knowledge.

“I also urge the DOST [Department of Science and Technology] and all other concerned agencies to allocate resources to institutions that carry out research and development,” he said. -ag
