History

The DOST was formed as the National Science Development Board on January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Carlos P. Garcia.[2] The science body was formed as a result of a law passed in the Congress upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked by Garcia to conduct a survey regarding the state of science and technology in the country. It was reorganized as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on March 17, 1981, and was given broader policy-making and program implementing functions.[3][4]

On January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the NSTA was elevated to cabinet-level status with the signing of Executive Order No. 128, and was renamed as the Department of Science and Technology.[4][5]
