Enhancing Socio-Economics Research in the Regions: The Road to Data-Driven STI Development, Planning, and Policy-Making

DOST-PCAARRD has long recognized the importance of socio-economics, especially in understanding how science technologies and innovation (STI) could impact on the general welfare of the society. Through the years, DOST-PCAARRD funded several socio-economics and policy research, and findings and insights from those initiatives have been vital in improving strategic planning, research and development (R&D) governance, and S&T development and diffusion. DOST-PCAARRD however saw the need to address the issues that are faced by our socio-economic researchers, especially in the regions. Among them are the lack of proper equipment/facilities, restricted access to proprietary software and peer-reviewed journals, and limited proficiency in the use of economic and statistical tools and handling big data. And in a number of R&D projects, use of tools like profitability analysis, partial budget analysis, or cost and benefit analysis, which would have established the viability of technologies, are limited. To address these limitations, DOST-PCAARRD funded the establishment of Socio-Economic Research and Data Analytics Centers (SERDAC) in three major universities in the country—Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Visayas State University (VSU), and the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP). As an institutional innovation, SERDAC aims to enhance socio-economic research in the regions and provide technical assistance to researchers who are working on research for the development of the agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources sectors.

CLSU Amplifies R4D Initiatives Through RIDe Festival 2023

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) stages the second edition of the Research Innovation and Development (RIDe) Festival 2023 with the theme “R4D: Key to a Sustainable Society” from October 9-11, 2023. The 3-day festival features a wide range of events that showcases research for development (R4D) initiatives, technologies, and products developed by the different R&D centers, and colleges. To officially start the RIDe Festival 2023, the opening program was held at the #CLSU Auditorium graced by Hon. Amenah “Mina” F. Pangandaman, Secretary of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), the first muslim DBM secretary and the only female member of the country’s economic team. During her speech, Sec. Pangandaman emphasized the alignment between the CLSU RIDe Festival and the advocacy of the DBM that she has been promoting - innovation and sustainability. She also introduced the Philippine Development Plan 2023 to 2028, which highlights the government's inclusive innovation approach called Filipinnovation. “Seeing the promising research and technologies that you, our dear students, and faculty have devised makes me confident that we can further elevate Filipinnovation into a whole-of-nation approach,” Secretary Pangandaman added. Meanwhile, as a token of appreciation, Dr. Edgar A. Orden, CLSU President handed an authentic bag from the Philippine Carabao Center at CLSU called Cara Cuero made or pure Carabao Leather Hide customized by their partner manufacturer in Bulacan. After the opening program, CLSUans flocked at the ribbon cutting and opening of exhibits held at the Research and Extension grounds featuring products and machineries developed by the specialized R&D Centers, Colleges, and other partner agencies within the Science Community. On the other hand, the plenary session with Mr. Raphael Henri B. Mundo representative of Atty. Ignacio S. Santillana, Deputy Administrator from the Sugar Regulatory Administration kicked-off the presentation of completed and on-going research papers as well as the poster presentation. The RIDe Festival is a manifestation of the university's commitment to addressing the pressing needs of the country and improving the society through research for development.
