DOSTv celebrates 10th anniversary, launches new programs 'NegoSiyensya' and 'Sci.Say'
The Department of Science and Technology–Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII), through DOSTv, celebrated its 10th anniversary on June 2, 2026, at the Enderun Tent in McKinley Hill, Taguig City, 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 aims 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 across 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 is set to air every Saturday at 9 A.M. on GTV and DZBB starting on June 13, 2026.
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.
