Top-notch countries need top-notch scientists. At much as PSHS and the DOST-SEI churn out around a couple of thousand new scientists every year, the majority go to work in private R&D here or abroad. Or worse, end up in call centers, just because there are no takers locally. PAGASA is no exception. Anyone who's been to the Science Garden along Agham Road would agree that it has seen better days. PHIVOLCS is only marginally better off.
I was actually expecting P-Noy to at least mention S&T in his speech. Alas, there was no mention of the topic. Sad, but it is only the continuation of a recurring trend, in which sci-tech is pushed to the sidelines over and over again.
