Marcos sa Pinoy scientists: ‘Wag mag-abroad

MANILA, Philippines — “I encourage our Filipino scientists, researchers, inventors and innovators, to continue sharing your expertise, especially to young people. 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,” ang bahagi ng talumpati ni Pangulong Marcos.

Ito ang paghihikayat ni Pangulong Ferdinand­ Marcos­ Jr. sa mga Filipino scientists at researchers dahil naniniwala­ na magiging aktibong katuwang ng gob­yerno ang mga ito pagdating sa nation-building nang pangu­nahan ang 2022 National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) celebration na idinaos sa World Trade Center sa Pasay City.

Binigyang-diin ni Marcos­ na ang mga nasabing scientists at researchers ay dapat lamang na makatuwang ng national go­vernment at iukol ang kanilang kasanayan para iangat ang buhay ng mga Filipino at tumulong sa pagtatayo ng  mas sustainable na bansa.

Aniya, dapat na bigyan ng direksyon ng pama­halaan ang science at develop­ment field upang ang kalalabasan ng bawat pagsasaliksik ay kapaki-pa­kinabang sa mga magsasaka, negos­yante, MSMEs at lahat ng mga mamamayan.

“I’ve spoken to some of the researchers and some of the – those that are administering the research institutes around the country, not only agriculture but all kinds of other research and deve­lopment,” ayon sa Pangulo.

“And they’re willing to take direction from us, from the private sector as to what are the necessary technologies for the Phi­lippines in terms of impro­ving – well again, climate change mitigation, adaptation, and our food supply, our economic transformation, all of these things,” dagdag na pahayag ni Marcos.
