Meanwhile, Joshua Ancheta shared his impression for the 10 day work immersion program.

“I did’nt expect that DOST also engaged in empowering entrepreneurs through technological upgrade on equipment and procedures. My experience on direct contact with DOST Assisted Project leads me to a greater understanding on how science and technology promotes development innovation. The procedures on food processing, herbal soap making and noodle making are technologies I never though to be a TECHNOLOGY by itself. It is now clearer to me that DOST is not just computers and research, it is also about procedures and techniques for upgrading”, Ancheta said on his impression speech.

On the other hand, DOST Staff shared their inspirational message to boost their self-confidence and hope in realizing their dreams and careers. After which, PD Calimag spearheaded the awarding of certificates to the students.
