Author's note: This was a moving, personal reflection from last week's first networking mixer with the Filipino Entrepreneurs Network (FEN).
The Philippine Development Foundation (PhilDev) presents its New York forum entitled "Accessing the Global Markets through Science & Technology: Innovations in Education Summit" on November 7, 2011 in the Asia Society & Museum along 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street, New York City from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
On August 18, 2011, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Mabuhay I.T. Park, Ced Avenue, National Highway, General Santos City, you have a chance to listen, speak out and share your own views on how innovation, technology, entrepreneurship can grow and prosper in areas such as Region 12.
Dr. Greg Tangonan will talk about the COMSTE (Congressional Commission on Science & Technology and Engineering) vision and the multi-stakeholder work of the Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) in facing the challenge of global competitiveness and how this practice can be replicated at best.

"We must modernize agriculture and harness innovations in technology to improve production. Remote sensing and satellite imagery, for instance, can help our farmers maximize the use of agricultural inputs, such as water, fertilizers and seeds." - Sen. Edgardo J. Angara

Senator Edgardo J. Angara urged the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to direct their research projects toward solving key challenges facing the country today, such as disaster mitigation and food security. Angara called for a more relevant DOST during a discussion forum today hosted by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and the DOST.
