wenty-five years ago, the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) was created by virtue of Presidential Decree I 003-A. 200 I was a remarkable year of the Academy. The year was fraught with natural calamities and political upheavals but despite the economic and social instability, the T Academy successfully celebrated its Silver Jubilee during its 23rd Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) with the theme "Science in the 21 st Century". As the country's premier recognition body in S&T , it witnessed the conferment of the rank and title of National Scientist by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Academicians Clare R. Baltazar and Benito S. Vergara. Four new Academicians were elected by the General Assembly, Drs. Ceferino L. Fol Iosco, Angel L. Lazaro Ill, William T. Torres, and Reynaldo B. Vea. Recognized were brilliant young scientists and outstanding scientific papers and publications. The year 200 I witnessed the awarding of the first Hugh Greenwood Environmental Science Award, a strong manifestation of the Academy's concern to protect and preserve the planet's ecology with the support of a philanthropist friend, belonging to the Order of the British Empire. Also, a first was the support extended by a business company Du Pont for Outstanding Young Scientists. Corporate support was actively solicited for projects and programs. In the international area, Acd. Lourdes J. Cruz won the ASEAN Outstanding Scientist and Technologist Award. After painstaking efforts, the Philippine Science Heritage Center Act was signed into law as Republic Act 9107 on April 14, 200 I. The Salinlahi, the Center is fondly called, launched new exhibits and publications.
In addition to the resolutions emanating from the 23rd ASM , NAST continued to perform its advisory fu nctions on a broad range of mega issues including biotechnology and genetically modified organisms, Biosafety. interconnection networks, high performance computing and bioinformatics, newborn screening, gender ethics and health research. In addition to its previous linkages. Memoranda of Agreement were signed with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Pakistan Academy of Sciences. A landmark organizational accomplishment was the establishment of the Engineering Sciences and Technology Division. Launched were two significant publications, the NAST Silver Jubilee Book and National Scientists of the Philippines. The NAST Monograph Series was started with the first volume entitled Modern Biotechnology and Philippine Agriculture. At the dawn of the new millennium. NAST is aware of the ever-mounting role of science and technology in fostering national development and in enhancing the country's global competitiveness. The Academy through our treasured National Scientists and estee Academicians. pledges itself ceaselessly to the pursuit of these goals. !yvv \ (c : ~ p .

2 Academician Benito S. Vergar~ is a rice scientist. He has worked extensively on how flowering of rice plant responds to photoperiod. Dr. Vergara also worked diligently on the screening and identifying stress-tolerant rice varieties, which were later used in national breeding programs of different countries. He likewise developed a breeding methodology, termed "rapid generation advance". which is now being used in many national rice breeding programs to develop better quality rice varieties. His research works on the growth. ratooning. tillering. flowering. and grain yield established the parameters for the "blue prints" for two successive models of high-yielding rice. A rice scientist with some artistic talent and a high devotion to bring science and technology closer to the hearts and minds of the people. Dr. Vergara significantly contributed to the establishment of the H E Macapagal Arroyo puts the National Sc1ent1st medal to the Philippine Science Heritage Center at NAST and the IRRI Rice newly conferred National Sc1ent1st , Acd.

13 State Funeral of National Scientist Encarnacion Alzona The Academy was saddened by the loss of one of the country's precious treasures- National Scientist Encarnacion Alzona. in the morning of March 13. Dr. Alzona was born on March 25, 1895 in Bifian, Laguna.
Dr. Alzona was a historian, a feminist, and a Rizalist. She dedicated her life to three important pursuits: to ameliorate the conditions of the women; to undertake scholarly re search an d w ritings about the history of the Philippines and its heroes and heroines: and to popularize the life and works of Jose Rizal.
As a historian, she also served as mentor to a generation of other eminent historians in the period of transition after the Philippine Revolution and the war against the United States until she became bedridden in the early 1990s. Some of her works have become classics, such as A History of Education in the Philippines: 1565-1930. For her fl Legado de Espana, she received the Lone Prize awarded by the I I th Congress de Hispanistas de Filipinas in 1954. Her other writings on noted personalities of the Post Revolutionary era have made available to the Filipinos a legacy of the past that has been illuminated in a unique way because of her proximity in time to those parts of the history and its participants. A much-honored preceptor in the tradition of the Academic Guild, Dr. Alzona had received practically every distinguished award the country could bestow on her.
She had the distinction of being the first Filipino woman to have obtained a doctor of philosophy degree in the Philippines. She was even a member of the guerilla outfit of former President Manuel L. Quezon, and was entrusted with the safekeeping of money and important documents. She was the first woman member of the Philippine delegation to the UNESCO in Paris, Mexico, and China to which she was always the only woman member. She was the first president of the Kababaihang Rizalista.
In 1985, she was conferred the rank and title of National Scientist by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.

The PSHC Building scale model
Brief Background The Philippine Sc ience Heritage Center (PSHC) w as conceptualized and established to serve as a resource center of significant contributions of Fi lipinos in the world of science. It is also a commitment of the Science Community to bring science and technology closer to the public, and eventually. to promote a strong science and technology culture in the country. It began its operation in December 1998.
As a prime science center of the Government, Sa linlahi docu ments and displays the works, ideas, and other scientific achievements of Fil ipino scientists who have helped improve the quality of human lives and significantly contributed to the worldwide advancement of science and technology. Through educational and informative materials such as books, booklets, leaflets, brochures, videos, and the like, Salinlahi helps enhance science awareness in the public and contributes to enhancing science education in the country.
Moreso, through special sem inars, lectures, fora , and similar act1v1t1es with scientists as speakers, Sa linlahi envisages that the public w ill have a better 11 eritage Center understanding and appreciation of va rious scientific contributions the Philippines has made to the world of science. Students are also encouraged and motivated to pursue a career in science in the hope that they t oo will be able to make significant and perhaps more important con tributions to S&T and the humanity.
16 The Philippine Science Heritage Center Act
Realizing the potential of Salinlahi as an important instrument to promote scientific culture in the land, Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law Republic Act 9107, also known as the Philippine Science Heritage Center Act. on April 14. 200 I. The law was published in the Malaya and the Manila Times on April 25, 200 I . The Act affirms the Government's commitment and policy to continually support and encourage the development of the country's science and technology program and to promote the Philippines' scientific contributions to the world.
The Act identifies the Academy as the Government agency that would manage, operate, and maintain the Center. It also gives the PSHC the following legal power and functions (Section 4): A. To document the works, ideas. inventions and products of Filipino scientists, and other accomplishments in the field of science and technology; B. To establish a display area for samples of inventions, scientific products, memorabilia, references and library materials; C. To produce printed materials to be used by the academe in teaching values with scientific insights. and which may be used as a source of information by the general public; Ms. Luningning E. Samanta, NAST Executive Director welcomes the D. To serve as the core of the network of science students by giving a short introduc tion about the ··salinlahi". museums in the Philippines; and E. To perform such acts as may be necessary for the effective implementation of this Act. The Implementing Rules and Regulations of the PSHC have been reviewed by the Staff of the Committees on Science and Technology of both Houses of Congress. The PSHC Advisory Committee is improving the IRR before submitting to both Houses of Congress for legislative considerations.

19 ( ADVISORY FUNCTION )
Through its advisory activities, NAST has been able to bring science and technology closer to
the lives of the Filipino. Its series of information fora and roundtable discussions have encouraged
public participation in open discussions of important and pressing issues in science and technology
on a wide range of topics such as biotechnology and biosafety, genetic engineering, intellectual
property rights, information and communications technology, high performance computing, gender
ethics, rice self-sufficiency, water and waste management, and newborn screening, among others.
This has resulted in the formulation of specific policy interventions such that people would
benefit more from S&T. Academicians and other local and foreign experts have put their knowledge
and expertise together to advise the legislators and the senate, including other policy making
bodies of the government and non-government entities, on policies related to science and
technology. The NAST Annual Scientific Meeting is a major event where scientists and researchers
from the government, academe, industries, non-government organizations, among others convene
to discuss S&T issues of national relevance and to enrich their knowledge of the new research
findings and scientific advances in the Philippines and elsewhere; and to witness the awarding of
recipients of various NAST awards.
