DOSTv celebrates 10th anniversary, launches 2 new shows
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Science and Technology-Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII), through DOSTv, celebrated its 10th anniversary recently, highlighting a decade of science communication and public service through broadcast and digital media.
The celebration featured the official launch of two new programs, “NegoSiyensya” and “Sci.Say,” which aim to further strengthen public engagement and make science, technology, and innovation (STI) more accessible and relevant to Filipinos.
“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.
The program showcases the DOST initiatives and technologies that support productivity, livelihood, and economic development. The program airs every Saturday at 9 a.m. on GTV and DZBB.
Meanwhile, “Sci.Say” is a vodcast platform designed to make science conversations more accessible, engaging, and relevant to younger and digital audiences. Through discussions, interviews, and interactive content, the program explores science, technology, innovation, and emerging trends in a more conversational format.
With its collaborative approach, “Sci.Say” aims to be more engaging, where a co-host from a partner university joins each episode to help lead conversations and interviews with guest scientists, researchers, and experts.
The initiative aims to bring in fresh academic perspectives into science communication while encouraging participation among aspiring science communicators and students. Participating partner schools include De La Salle Araneta University, Centro Escolar University, Polytechnic University of the Philippines–Sta. Mesa, Trinity University of Asia, Philippine Normal University, and University of Baguio.
New episodes of “Sci.Say” will be released every Thursday at 6 p.m. on the DOSTvPH Spotify account, YouTube channel, and official website www.dostv.ph.
The anniversary celebration also included the recognition of partners and stakeholders for their invaluable support and contributions to DOSTv’s decade-long mission of promoting science, technology, and innovation to the Filipino public.
As DOSTv marks its 10th year, it continues to strengthen its role in making science understandable, relevant, and meaningful to every Filipino through innovative and multi-platform science communication initiatives.
The DOSTv is one of the programs of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) aimed at providing science-based, innovative, and inclusive solutions across four strategic pillars: human well-being, wealth creation, wealth protection, and sustainability.
