' _.,._- ·
extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. As science adviser, recognition body, convenor of scientific forums and conduit of international scientific cooperation; this premier collegial body of Filipino scientists has worked zealously through its first decade of existence towards the improvement of the scientific climate in the country. 1 expect it to continue its efforts as prime mover of scientific excellence and productivity among our scientists, and as such, contribute to the attainment of political and economic stability and progress in our land. As it hosts three scientific activities in July to be highlighted by the International Conference on Science Policy for Developing Countries, the National Academy of Science and Technology brip;htens our ho pes for a truly self-reliant posture for our country and a better life for our people. I wish the local and foreign participants of these scientific meetings a most successful gathering, and our foreign guests a pleasant visit in our country.

v MESSAGE
It is a pleasure to greet the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) in the celebration of its 10th Anniversary. For the past several years, NAST, a collegial body, has accorded the scientists in this country recognition through peer selection. The NAST has fulfilled not only its function in the promotion and recog nition of scientific and technological effort and achievement, but also as an advisory body on science and technology issues. Statements and resolutions on important scientific issues have been made by NAST. International linkages have been forged through memoranda of agreement and exchange of publications. In the light of the present situation in the country, we in the science commu nity who are trying to convince our policy makers to give priority to our needs, earnestly hope that NAST will spare no efforts to help address this growing con cern of the scientific community. In behalf of the Department of Science and Technulogy, I would like to com mend the NAST for a job well done throughout the past ten years of its existence. Also, I wish to extend my good wishes for the success of the celebration and the future endeavors of the National Academy of Science and Tech no logy.

The Academy is optimistic of its participation in the scientific and technologic revolution the world over. When measured by the usual parameters of science academies, the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) has fared fairly well during the past decade in pursuing its objectives to put science and technology in the forefront of development in this country. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its found ing, we would like to rededicate the Academy to the service of our country and the whole of humanity.
vu MESSAGE

1 would like to congratulate the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) for having rendered its fl.rst decade of fruitful service to the Science Commu nity and to the nation. The academy has strengthened the theoretical tradition of science and thus has paved the way for the continuous advancement of scientific scholarship in the coun try. The Academy provides meaningful incentives and recognition to those engaged in scientific and technological research. It serves as an advisory body on matters re garding science and technology, to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the government; and establishes linkages with foreign science academies and other scientific bodies. It has not only elevated science in the home base, but also enabled the Filipino scientist to be a citizen of the world, in touch with his foreign counterparts and abreast with global trends. Here's wishing the National Academy of Science and Technology more decades of shining achievements!

Tours Available 15 AVAILABLE TOURS MALACANANG TOUR Malacanang Palace nestles by the Northern Bank of the Pasig River in the Historic City of Manila. It still bears the traces of the Majestic Elegance of Spanish Architec ture which dates back to the 18th Century. Since the Spanish Crown Land Sitio de Malacanang of 1762, Malacanang is now more than 200 years old. There are several versions as to how it got its name. Mamalakaya is a word in Tagalog (The Philippine National Language) meaning Village of Fishermen. Others claim the name comes from the Spanish words Mala and Cana referring to stands of cane growing around the area which were infested with mosquitoes. Others think its name is derived from the Tagalog phrase May Lakan Diyan. "There are Nobles in that Place" or from Ma-Lak.an-Iyan, the Place of the Chief. Whatever its origin, Malacanang has become the symbol of power, the seat of the President, and the Center of the Filipino People's struggle for freedom. Through the centuries, it was the official home of 14 Spanish Governor-General, 13 American Civil Governors and nine Philippine Presidents starting from Manuel L . Quezon, President of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935. In 1986, President Corazon C. Aquino became the 7th President of the Republic of the Philippines, she has chosen not to reside nor to hold office in the Palace properly fulfilling a promise she made to the Filipino Nation during her Electoral Campaign, Malacanang was opened as a People's Museum.
