Just after the fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Science and Technology Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. has vowed for a more responsive and reliable department, under the current administration.

“Sa Bagong Pilipinas, ang agham ay ramdam. ‘Yan po ang ating pangako. Paano po natin gagawin ito? Si siyensya, teknolohiya at inobasyon, mga negosyo niyo ay tiyak kikita. Meron po tayong Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program [and] STARTUP fund. We have a program Propel to help investors and technologies to create enterprises and to create new jobs. Sa industriya, aarangkada. Ang kalusugan ay sisigla. Ang pagsasaka ay sasagana. Sa mga kabataan, may scholarship po tayo sa science, technology engineering and mathematics. Ang bukas niyo ay may pagasa. Kaya pangako po natin sa kasalukuyang administrasyon, ang agham ay ramdam,” Solidum said in 2025 post-SONA discussions on Environmental Protection and Disaster Risk Reduction on July 29.
