The DOST-Day Care Center (DDCC) received school equipment from the Metrobank Foundation, Inc. through the initiative of DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr., who converted his token of appreciation into a donation. The turnover took place at the DDCC building in DOST Bicutan Compound, Taguig City, on December 13, 2023.

The donated school equipment includes two flat-screen televisions, one refrigerator, one portable speaker, and seven tablets, aiming to advance and improve the education system, specifically the children's learning habits.

With the optimistic goal of prioritizing the needs of DDCC students, DOST-Secretary Solidum converted his reward as one of the judges in the 2023 Metrobank Foundation's search for Outstanding Filipinos into the school equipment.

"I also remember that to develop science, technology, and innovation in our country, which will be the key to change our nation, it is important to provide an answer to the question of how we can encourage the young generation to involve themselves in science and technology. So, I have been asked for a long time, and my answer was to start with children, specifically toddlers, kindergarten, or nursery," emphasized DOST Secretary Solidum.

As the 51st Atomic Energy Week (AEW) kicked off on Monday, December 04, 2023, Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) sees several opportunities for nuclear science and related studies to help address our concerns on climate change.

“A week ago, we participated in the Conference of Parties (COP) 28 held in Dubai, and the message is clear. Climate change is a problem that we all need to look in to. We will be victims of global warming, so we need to act, and nuclear technology would play crucial roles in addressing our concerns on this,” said Sec. Solidum.
