In this episode, we are accompanied by two civil servants from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Engr. Christopher Agbulig and Mr. Ricardo Iguales. Ang usapan natin in this episode is about how DOST works, the state of science and technology sa Pilipinas, paano nga ba "gumawa" ng batas o policy-making with a special attention to science and technology proposed bills na ngayo'y isinusulong ng DOST sa 19th Congress of the Republic of the Philippines, and what can we do to help our country in achieving science-based policy.
