As the National Womenโ€™s Month celebration comes to a meaningful close, the Department of Science and Technologyโ€“Quirino (DOSTโ€“Quirino) continues to strengthen its commitment to empowering women through science, technology, and innovation. These efforts were realized through a series of webinars conducted for participants from the Quirino State University (QSU) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)โ€“Cagayan Valley.

Serving as the resource speaker, Dr. Rocela Angelica B. Gorospe, Provincial Director of DOSTโ€“Quirino, delivered tailored discussions for each institution. For participants from Quirino State University (QSU), she presented the topic โ€œWomen Leadership and Innovation,โ€ highlighting the growing and transformative role of women across various sectors. She emphasized how women continue to break barriers and excel in careers, academics, leadership, technology, and scienceโ€”embodying resilience, versatility, and excellence in todayโ€™s evolving landscape.

Meanwhile, for participants from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)โ€“Cagayan Valley, Dr. Gorospe delivered the topic โ€œWomen Empowerment through Science, Technology, and Innovation.โ€ The discussion underscored the vital role of science and technology in creating inclusive opportunities and empowering women to become active contributors to economic development, community transformation, and sustainable progress.

Dr. Gorospe also emphasized DOSTโ€™s continued efforts in advancing women empowerment through its various programs and initiatives, including research and development training, innovation support mechanisms, leadership enhancement activities, and opportunities for global engagement. These initiatives serve as vital platforms that enable women to harness their full potential, lead with confidence, and actively contribute to nation-building.

Through initiatives such as these, DOSTโ€“Quirino reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate, and inspire. As we celebrate the remarkable contributions of women this National Womenโ€™s Month, the agency remains steadfast in promoting gender equality and advancing science and technology as powerful enablers for inclusive growth and development.

Pascua.

Complementing the infrastructure support is an integrated Gender-Responsive DRRM Preparedness Program. This component ensures that disaster risk reduction strategies are inclusive, participatory, and responsive to the needs of women, children, the elderly, and other vulnerable sectors.

"PNP's mandate doesn't solely focus on maintaining peace and order but also on uplifting communities, and we are grateful na kasama namin ang DOST sa hangaring ito. May this project be sustained for a better community driven by science and innovation." said PMAJ Joel B. Pascua.

Anchored on the principles of sustainability and community empowerment, the initiative promotes local ownership and shared responsibility to ensure the long-term functionality of the water system. By combining infrastructure development with science-based disaster preparedness and gender-responsive approaches, the project exemplifies DOSTโ€™s holistic strategy in building resilient and self-reliant communities.

This National Womenโ€™s Month, we celebrate the vital role of women in science and technologyโ€”breaking barriers, leading change, and shaping a more inclusive future for all. Guided by this yearโ€™s theme, โ€œWE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society,โ€ and inspired by the strength and leadership of our foremothers through the call to โ€œLead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!โ€, we honor every Filipina who dares to lead, innovate, and uplift communities through S&T!

Participatory methodologies play a crucial role in ensuring that community needs, perspectives, and local knowledge are fully integrated into project development and implementation. By actively involving stakeholders in the assessment and planning process, these approaches promote inclusivity, ownership, and sustainability of programs, leading to more responsive and impactful interventions.

Recently, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) successfully conducted the activity titled โ€œRetooling of DOST Personnel on Concept of Participatory Development Methodology for Community Project Assessment and Planning,โ€ equipping its personnel with enhanced knowledge and skills in participatory approaches for development work.

The activity formally opened with an inspiring message from Regional Director Virginia G. Bilgera, who emphasized that the training is both timely and relevant. She highlighted that the concepts and approaches to be learned can be applied across all aspects of DOST programs and projects, particularly in strengthening planning processes and ensuring that initiatives are responsive to the real needs of communities.

A key highlight of the training was the discussion led by resource speaker Dr. Emma L. Ballad, Career Scientist I. She provided an in-depth discussion on participatory development methodologies, including its core features and guiding principles. Dr. Ballad also elaborated on the standard guidelines in conducting these methodologies and introduced various tools and techniques that can be effectively utilized in assessing communities and identifying appropriate projects for funding. In addition, Dr. Ballad emphasized that when doing appraisal in community, local people are the one that draws up plans and analyze the problems and the experts/outsiders will only act as facilitators.

To apply the concepts discussed, participants actively engaged in workshop sessions where they applied their new learnings. Through hands-on exercises, they practiced using different tools and techniques, enabling them to better understand how to gather, analyze, and interpret community-level data in a participatory manner.

The activity concluded with a deeper appreciation of the importance of participatory methodologies in development work. For CEST implementers and other DOST project facilitators, the training serves as a vital step toward ensuring that programs are community-driven, inclusive, and sustainable. By integrating these approaches into project assessment and planning, DOST personnel are better equipped to design interventions that truly address local needs and contribute to meaningful and lasting development outcomes.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) โ€“ Quirino strengthens community livelihoods through science-based interventions as it conducts a Chicken Production Management training for beneficiaries of the Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST) Program in Barangay Calaocan, Cabarroguis, Quirino.

The activity forms part of the livelihood entry point of the CEST Program, which promotes inclusive growth and supports community-based enterprises through science and technology. The training aims to equip beneficiaries with practical knowledge on poultry care, feeding strategies, and management practices to transform small-scale poultry raising into a sustainable source of income.

One of the key challenges identified among the beneficiaries is the development of an effective feeding program for chickens, which directly affects their growth, health, and overall productivity. To address this, DOST Quirino tapped QSU Expert โ€“ Associate Professor, Dr. Rommel Peralta to share science-based knowledge and practical strategies in poultry production management, including proper feeding techniques, flock care, and measures to reduce mortality rates and increase productivityโ€”critical factors for the success of small-scale poultry enterprises.

Through the training, beneficiaries gain insights that enable them to manage their poultry operations more effectively and sustainably.

As the first week of the National Womenโ€™s Month Celebration unfolded, the Department of Science and Technology โ€“ Quirino (DOST-Quirino) marked the occasion by bringing meaningful conversations on gender equality to the community through a Gender Sensitivity Training (GST) conducted at Brgy. Calaocan, Cabarroguis, Quirino.

In support of the call โ€œLead like the Babaylans, Filipinas,โ€ the activity served as a reminder of the strength, wisdom, and leadership that women have embodied throughout Philippine history.

Serving as the resource speaker, DOST-Quirino Provincial Director Dr. Rocela Angelica B. Gorospe opened the discussion with thought-provoking questions that sparked curiosity and reflection among participants: โ€œAlam niyo ba ang ibig sabihin ng Babaylan?โ€, โ€œBakit may National Womenโ€™s Month?โ€, at โ€œMay National Menโ€™s Month ba?โ€

Through these questions, Dr. Gorospe guided the participants in rediscovering the powerful role of the Babaylan in pre-colonial Philippine societyโ€”women who were not only healers and spiritual leaders but also respected figures of wisdom, courage, and influence in their communities. Their legacy serves as an inspiration for todayโ€™s generation of Filipinas to lead, empower, and create positive change.

To deepen the discussion, participants actively engaged in a group activity where they drew figures of a man and a woman and identified their traits and characteristics. The activity encouraged reflection on common gender perceptions and highlighted that capabilities, dreams, and opportunities should never be limited by gender.

The discussion further emphasized that the spirit of the Babaylan continues to live on in modern times through Filipinas who excel in different fields. One inspiring example is Hidilyn Diaz, who made history by winning the Philippinesโ€™ first Olympic gold medal, proving that Filipinas can rise and lead even in fields traditionally dominated by men. In the field of science and medicine, pioneers like Fe del Mundo have also shown the remarkable contributions of women through their dedication to research, innovation, and service to society. Today, many Filipina leaders, professionals, and scientists continue to shape communities and inspire the next generation of young girls to pursue their dreams.

More than just a training, the activity became a safe space for dialogue, learning, and shared realization that empowering women ultimately strengthens families, communities, and the nation as a whole.

Through initiatives like this, DOST-Quirino reaffirms its commitment to promoting gender sensitivity, inclusivity, and empowerment, ensuring that every voiceโ€”regardless of genderโ€”has the opportunity to be heard, valued, and empowered.

As the celebration of National Womenโ€™s Month continues, DOST-Quirino hopes to inspire more individuals to embrace the spirit of the Babaylanโ€”to lead with courage, uplift one another, and work together toward a more inclusive and equitable future.
