The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has successfully embarked on a high-impact strategic mission to the United Kingdom from June 8 to 15, 2025. The mission aims to solidify international partnerships that will accelerate the Philippines’ transition into a robust innovation economy.

Anchored under Project Padaghan, this week-long mission is a pivotal step in DOST’s broader agenda to connect Philippine research and development (R&D) with global innovation ecosystems. The delegation engaged with some of the UK's most prominent science and technology institutions including University College London Business (UCLB), the UK Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT), UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), and innovation hubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The DOST Day Care Center (DDCC) convened a significant milestone of its children through a Moving Up Ceremony, held on May 23, 2025, at the Philippine Science Heritage Center. Guided by Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” the event highlighted the DDCC’s mission as a second home for children, where they learned not only to read and write but also to distinguish right from wrong.
