The year 2014 proved to be another eventful and successful year for DOST III and such success could not have been possible without the usual concerted efforts of the regional and provincial staff of our office. Their continuing collective dedication, determination and hard work to carry out our agency’s mandated services deserve my greatest commendation. We in DOST-III have always believed that Science & Technology can and will accelerate the country’s productivity, create more jobs especially in the countryside, and build and maintain a better environment for every Filipino. For us, this means employing S&T to come up with new and better products, processes, services and systems that will ultimately improve the lives of our countrymen. Our services have, therefore, been geared towards the attainment of these aspirations. As in years past, the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program or SETUP is our key mechanism for technology transfer and commercialization. SETUP enables our small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Region III to boost their productivity and competitiveness and thereby contribute to the region’s robust economic growth. Through the program, DOST-III was able to assist 50 SMEs to adopt 145 technology interventions by investing the amount of PhP 42.3M for the acquisition of appropriate technologies. To further support our technology transfer efforts, the regional office likewise provided PhP 5.6M from our Regional Grants-In-Aid (GIA) funds, mainly to pursue community-based projects that will spur economic activities in the rural areas of the region and also to provide assistance to higher education institutions to pursue researches that will address regional socio-economic concerns and problems. On the other hand, our S&T Services program provides support to our technology transfer projects by offering our technology adoptors with a range of services intended to identify or diagnose their technological constraints and recommend the appropriate interventions. These services are provided through our technical consultancy, technology trainings, and laboratory testing and analyses. Technical consultancy programs such as MPEX and CAPE are our banner programs that have assisted SMEs and farmers in Region III. 18 SMEs were assisted through our MPEX program while 20 cluster of farmer-beneficiaries benefitted from the CAPE program in 2014. 193 trainings were also conducted for 4,560 participants benefitting 449 firms. Other technical consultancy services provided by the regional office include food safety, energy systems optimization and biogas production. The DOST III Regional Standard and Testing Laboratory was able to serve the testing and calibration requirements of 1,072 client and 790 firms in the region. DOST III actively participated in the conduct of the 2014 National Science & Technology Week held on July 24-28, 2014 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City and the South Luzon Cluster S&T Fair conducted on August 18-20, 2014 in Legazpi City, Albay in the Bicol Region. The activity was highlighted by technology seminars and fora, exhibits as well as S&T quiz contests. We have also been working vigorously in the implementation of the S&T scholarship program acknowledging that the creation of a critical mass of qualified S&T human resources is necessary to support and sustain regional development. 56 DOST scholars in the region graduated last SY 2013-2014 while 325 scholarship applicants qualified for the 2014-2015 batch of scholars. Our continuing ISO 9001:2008 certification and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation to put in place and maintain a Quality Management System allows us to provide quality S&T services to our customers and stakeholders. 3 We could not have done all of these without the able support and cooperation of our regional partners so allow me the opportunity to thank our various stakeholders in the region for their sustained support that made possible the fruitful collaborations and partnerships that bring about socio-economic development in our beloved Central Luzon. VICTOR B. MARIANO, DBA 4 DOST III PROFILE The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is the premiere science and technology body in the country charged with the twin mandate of providing central direction, leadership and coordination of all scientific and technological activities, and of formulating policies, program and projects to support national development. It was created on January 30, 1987 by virtue of Executive Order No. 128 which expanded the then National Science and Technology Authority into the DOST. The DOST has regional offices as its implementing arm nationwide which carry out the laws, rules, regulations, policies, plans, programs and projects of the department in their respective areas of responsibility. Like its counterparts in the different regions of the country, the DOST Regional Office No. III provides effective and efficient S & T services to the people of the region. It coordinates with other government agencies and with the local government units in Central Luzon on S & T matters. The projects and services of DOST III are carried out through the major S&T programs such as (a) Technology Transfer and Commercialization; (b) Science and Technology Services; and (c) S & T Information , Education & Promotion. Majority of the projects being implemented in the region are further classified under innovation system support; testing, analysis and calibration; packaging, labeling and consultancy services and technology training, information dissemination, promotion and education. Technology as a foundation for economic development guided the formulation of the National Science and Technology Plan (NSTP) 2002-2020. The NSTP sets the S&T vision over the short, medium and long term time frames. Over the short-term, most of the major programs implemented in the region are coursed through the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program or SETUP, the Grants in Aid Program, TAPI Venture Financing, Manufacturing Productivity Extension Program (MPEX), Consultancy for Agricultural Productivity Enhancement (CAPE), and the S & T Scholarship Program. DOST III is mandated to support local scientific and technological initiatives, develop local capacity to achieve technological self-reliance, and promote public and private sector partnership to take productive roles in research and development (R&D) activities. To further ensure the continuous delivery of efficient and effective service in the region, DOST III strived to establish, implement and maintain a quality management system in conformance with ISO 9001:2008, thus a recertification from the Certification International Philippines, Incorporated (CIPI) was obtained last December 11, 2012 with the next reassessment scheduled for October 2015. The DOST III is headed by Regional Director Victor B. Mariano, DBA. There are two (2) divisions in the regional office, namely: the Technical Operations Services and the Finance and Administrative Services. The Technical Operations Services is headed by Assistant Regional Director (ARD) Wilfredo F. Sibal who supervises the operations of the Regional Technical Services. The Regional Director, on the other hand, oversees the Provincial S&T Centers which are headed by the Provincial Science and Technology Directors. The Finance and Administrative Services is headed by Assistant Regional Director (ARD) Belen Q. Garcia who supervises the Budget, Accounting, Cashier, Supply, Human Resource Management and the General Support Services. The total personnel complement of the regional office as of December 31, 2014 is 80, made up of 36 DOST-3 regular plantilla positions, 8 TELOF plantilla positions, 15 SETUP contractual staff, 10 contractual project staff, 10 job order personnel and 1 detailed employee from TSU. 5 Summary of 2014 Accomplishments Table 1a .

The testing services being offered are served through the Microbiological and Chemical Testing Laboratories. Food processors, manufacturing firms, water refilling stations, LGUs, students and researchers make up the bulk of the RSTL’s clientele base. In2013, the calibration and testing services of the Metrology and Instrumentation Laboratory (MIL) were also accredited. The Metrology and Instrumentation Laboratory (MIL) was established to assist LGUs, SMEs and manufacturing firms in the region for their calibration/testing requirements for weights and balances and pressure and temperature instruments, among others. MIL is also capable to serve the volumetric calibration needs of gasoline stations and road tankers. The Tollways Management Corp. (TMC) regularly has their speed detectors used along the NLEX and SCTEX calibrated by the MIL. With the approval of the project “Setting-Up of One-Stop Shop Laboratory Services for Global Competitiveness (OneLab)” and Year 3 implementation of the project on “Strengthening of DOST Regional Metrology Laboratory Services”, the RSTL took on a more significant role in the development of SMEs in the region. Project OneLab aims to transform the RSTL into a customerpreferred laboratory through world class services at par with other laboratories outside the Philippines through infrastructure development and personnel competency training. With the imminent integration of the ASEAN community through ASEAN 2015 wherein the ten membernations would be transformed into a single market and production base characterized by the free flow of services, goods, investments, capital and skilled labor, this project is expected to provide the means by which the RSTL can capture some of these potential markets. 2014 Target Performance Indicators % Accomplishment It was another productive year for the RSTL with a total of 1,072 clients served and 830 firms availing of various testing and analytical services.

S&T Scholarships At the beginning of the year, there were 535 on-going scholars enrolled in various higher education institutions in the region. Of these, a total of 56 scholars graduated at the end of school year 2013-2014. A total of 2,245 fourth year high school students submitted their applications for the scholarship examinations to select the new batch of scholars for school year 2014-2015. Of these, 325 successful applicants qualified to take up four or five year baccalaureate degrees in identified S&T priority courses. DOST scholars are entitled to receive monthly stipends, book allowance, transportation allowance (for those studying outside their home region) and tuition fees. For 2014, a total of PhP 32,580,783.10 was released to cover the abovementioned scholarship privileges. As part of their contractual obligation as DOST scholars, graduates are required to render service in the country equivalent to the number of years which a scholar enjoys the scholarship. Upon completion of the required service obligation, a scholar is granted final clearance from the scholarship program. A total of 20 scholargraduates applied for and received their certification of final clearance from the scholarship program in 2014. S&T Library and Information Services There were a total of 1,129library users composed of students, entrepreneurs and other researchers and professionals who visited the Regional S&T Library last year. As part of the effort to create and maintain online presence, titles of investigatory projects were uploaded into the DOST3 website under menu on library services. Researchers can view the titles of science investigatory projects grouped per category through the website and can visit the regional library to read the whole research article. S&T Promotion and Advocacy The biggest activity undertaken by DOST3 in S&T promotion and advocacy for 2014 was its participation in the Southern Luzon Cluster Science and Technology Fair which was conducted last August 1820, 2014 at the Ibalong Centrum for Recreation, Tahao Road, Legazpi City. The fair was highlighted by seminars, technology fora, exhibits, contest on disaster prevention and mitigation and high school quiz contest. The cluster S&T fair and exhibits brought together four (4) DOST regional offices, which included the National Capital Region and Regions III, IV-A and IV-B. The activity was aimed at showcasing significant S&T developments and how these impact on the lives of ordinary Filipinos. S&T Networks and Linkages 30 1.

Manila Bay Site Coordinating Committee Special Projects 31 Nationwide Dengue Vector Surveillance 258 public elementary and secondary schools in Region 3 served as sentinel schools. These are the schools that send regular reports to the project website and have High OLTRAP Index in the prior year implementation of the project. A Re-Orientation and Refresher Training of OLTRAP was also conducted last June 2014 at the DOST-III Conference Room for all the DepEd Dengue Division Coordinators and Teacher Coordinators as well as representatives of other partner agencies like DILG and DOH. 20 schools from among the 258 schools in Region 3 received Plaques & Certificates of Recognition for being outstanding implementors. The criteria used in choosing the best sentinel schools include the following: (a) Weekly updating of the school data on the website; (b) Coming up with best practices; (c) Efforts done to lower the OL Index in the school. DOST-III conducted regular monitoring and surprise on-site visits to validate their accomplishments. Lastly, DOST-III was adjudged as the national winner for the Best Project Implementor for the “Nationwide Dengue Vector Surveillance” project. Deployment of Early Warning Systems in Disaster-Prone Areas (DEWS Project) In response to President Aquino's instructions to put in place a responsive program for disaster prevention and mitigation, specifically, for the Philippines' warning agencies to be able to provide a 6-hour leadtime warning to vulnerable communities against impending floods and to use advanced technology to enhance current geo-hazard vulnerability maps, the Real Time monitoring of Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH) was launched by the Department of Science and Technology. Integral to the NOAH Program are the “Emergency Distribution of Hydrometeorological Devices in Hard-Hit Areas in the Philippines (HYDROMET)” Project for CY 2012-2014 and the “Deployment of Early Warning Systems (DEWS) in Disaster-prone Areas” for CY 2014-2017. Through the projects, additional automated rain gauges (ARGs), water level monitoring stations (WLMS) and tandem (ARG with WLMS) devices will be distributed and installed nationwide with priority given to areas within the 18 major river basins of the country. Data obtained through these devices will be incorporated in PAGASA’s models and in the ongoing research and development work under the NOAH Program, which aim to enhance disaster management through automation of processes and in the use of latest technologies. The Department of Science and Technology-Region III, in partnership with ASTI, PAGASA and different LGUs in the region, has installed the following devices in 2014: Hydromet Project Phase 2 Site Town/City Province Cong Dado Dam Brgy.
