It was as far as back as in 1978 that the first policy statement on S&T for the country was developed. Thirteen years later in 1991, a presidential task force was mandated the development of an expanded S&T policy. This was followed by the S&T Development Act being passed by the Parliament in 1994. As provided for in this Act, a National Commission on Science and Technology (NASTEC) was appointed in 1998 with the powers to function as a policy advisory body on S&T.
