The Philippines is currently at the cusp of another leap into the future. This publication, Techblade, has since in its inception advocated and supported Science, Technology, Education and Startups. Having featured Filipina Astrophysicist Reina Reyes, countless students triumphant in international math and science competitions, the Diwata-1 Microsatellite development and launch and new products and processes conceptualized, developed and implemented by the Filipino youth, it is evident that momentum is gaining wherein science and technology will be gaining more traction in development.
Leading the charge towards the future as mentioned above is the Filipino youth. Never before has technology been more democratized as before wherein knowledge and information can be acquired even outside of the classroom. Together with this is the motivation brought about by the availability of information to the youth that empowers them to shape the future based on their abilities.
Startups have been around for almost a decade in the country. Even though those who founded the startups did not even know that they were “startups”. All they had were ideas brought about by perceiving a need for a product or a service that were still absent or they were the ones who refused to believe that they could not be done. The next step was to make it viable and acceptable to the market.
