Those arte unveiled during DOSTv’s anniversary gala at the Enderun Tent in McKinley Hill, Taguig City, last June 2. The event brought together DOST’s key officials, partners, and program personalities as they looked back at the milestones the department’s official science broadcast program has achieved through the years.
One of the highlights of the event was recognizing DOSTv’s partners, which include BPI Foundation, Film Development Council of the Philippines, DZBB, Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs, Inc., and Fifty5Blue (Kantar Media). The event also marked the launch of its new programs. “NegoSiyensya” is a science and technology-oriented business program that highlights how STI creates opportunities and provides solutions for various sectors, including MSMEs, farmers, fisherfolk, local government units, and communities. Second is the “Sci.Say,” a vodcast platform designed to make science conversations more accessible, engaging, and relevant to younger and digital audiences.
