PhST to lead towards smarter Philippines agenda
By Ma. Lilibeth P. Padilla
BICUTAN, Taguig, Jan. 8 (PIA) - Getting
Filipinos to adopt the Philippine Standard Time (PhST) is the first step of
uniting the country to seize the opportunities for a smarter Philippines.
This is the key message of Department of Science
and Technology (DOST) secretary Mario G. Montejo during the country's first
celebration of the National Time Consciousness Week, ushered in by the
simultaneous flag raising ceremonies in government offices nationwide Monday
(January 6).
“The Philippines is composed of diverse culture
and people. We may not all agree on everything but the Philippine Standard Time
is one thing that will unite us and guide us in the conduct of our activities
at home, at school, and at work,” notes Secretary Montejo.
Montejo explained that the “Juan Time, On Time
Ako” campaign seeks to redefine the concept of Filipino time to one that is of
punctuality and not of missed opportunities due to tardiness.
Changing the concept of Filipino time brings
about cultural change that will be key for the country in “redefining
Philippine standard as one of top quality.”
The adoption of PhST is also seen to pave the
way for Smarter Philippines agenda outlined earlier by DOST.
Under Smarter Philippines, DOST has been tasked
to maximize the potential use of science and technology to help improve the
quality of life and drive inclusive growth among communities, especially those
in the country.
Under the umbrella program of Smarter
Philippines, DOST aims to create an environment that will foster local and
global investments in the country as it readies for the shift in emerging
economies by 2050.
An Asian Development Bank study noted that next
to China and India, the Philippines will be one of the key emerging economies
that will get a greater investment share by 2050.
The sectors that the country will focus on will
include: agriculture, industries, governance, climate change adaptation, human
capability, jobs creation, healthcare, and micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs).
