NSTW 2025 opens in Laoag City with a strong push for 'Agham na Ramdam'

Science and Technology Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. led the opening of the National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, where DOST highlighted its four development pillars: promoting human well-being, fostering wealth creation, reinforcing wealth protection, and institutionalizing sustainability.

The ceremony brought together local officials, scientists, innovators, and community responders as exhibits showcased geospatial tools, climate-resilience technologies, sustainable livelihood programs, and food security initiatives. This year’s theme underscores a unified message — that science and innovation must be felt by every Filipino, embodied in the call for “Agham na Ramdam.”
