Technology puts to spotlight another technology. In the age of Netflix binge watching, a timely and relevant ‘show’ recently surfaced. It’s tagline- WATCH and learn.

Last February 28, DOST-CALABARZON’s Webinar and Technology Channel (WATCH) opened a seemingly new ‘season’ following almost a decade-long first season run. After hosting a bunch of Food Safety-related webinars, it opened with a premier episode in the form of a Technology Forum on Innovations against Emerging Global Health Threats. What made the premier episode a show-stopper was not just the presence of Dr. Raul Destura, the scientist and inventor of the Biotek-MTM Dengue Aqua Kit and GenAmplifyTM Corona Virus Disease-2019 RT-PCR Detection Kit. This premier episode showed the power of a technology making known another technology.

Despite the notable climb of the Philippines' ranking in the recent Global Innovation Index 2019, there is still low level of research and development (R&D) spending in the Philippines, with a huge chunk being funded by the Philippine Government. R&D budget has been increasing each year but has remained at 0.6% of the Philippine Government's Budget.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Business Innovation through Science and Technology (BIST) Program seeks to boost R&D in the private sector. This is to work towards achieving the UNESCO benchmark for developing countries such as the Philippines, to spend one percent of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on R&D.
