ITDI HISTORY
1901	1st of July - The Bureau of Government Laboratories (BGL) came into existence through the Philippine Commission Act. No. 156. It was composed of the biological and chemical laboratories, a science library, and the Serum Laboratory of the Board of Health.
1905	By virtue of the Philippine Commission Act. No. 1407, the BGL was reorganized into the Bureau of Science (BS) and expanded its functions to include the Bureau of Mines and the Ethnological Survey Division of Education.
1934	The headship of the BS was passed on for the first time to a Filipino chemist. Dr. Angel S. Arguelles. The present-day Bureau of Soils, Bureau of Mines, Bureau of Fisheries and National Survey Division of Education Museum developed initially as part of the Bureau of Science during the pre-war years.
1947	The BS was transformed into the Institute of Science (IS) by virtue of Executive Order No. 94.
1951	The IS was renamed Institute of Science and Technology (IST) by virtue of Executive Order No. 392 and for the first time primarily concerned itself to industry-oriented research.
1956	Congress approved RA Number 1606 authorizing the establishment of the National Science Board (NSB). IST was changed to the National Scientific and Industrial Research Institute (NSIRI), and was placed under supervision of NSB.
1958	Under the so-called "Magna Carta of Philippine Science" RA 1067, NSB was reconstituted as the National Science Development Board (NSDB) which was designed to coordinate and supervise all scientific activities in the country. NSIRI became the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) under the supervision of NSDB.
1973	As part of the overall reorganization of the Executive branch of the government, the NIST was reorganized, but retained the same name. With the merger of the Agriculture Research Center, Biological Research Center and Medical Center, only two (2) technical R&D centers remained, namely Biological Research Center and Industrial Research Center. In addition, these were the Tests and Standards Laboratory and the Scientific Instrumentation Division to provide standardization and technical services.
1982	By virtue of Executive Order Number 784 dated 17 March 1982, the NSDB was reorganized into the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA). Under the reorganization NIST remained as one the R&D Institutes under the NSTA. As reorganized, research on agriculture was transferred to UPLB while the ceramics center emerged into an independent institute (MSRI).The Biological and Industrial research center were also abolished and in their place, three (3) centers were created namely: the National Research and Development (NRDC), Chemical Research and Development Center (CRDC), and the National Standards and Testing Center (NSTC). Under the NRDC and CRDC are seven(7) programs to undertake R&D activities, while the NSTC provides standardization and technical services.
1987	The NSTA was reorganized into the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) by virtue of Executive Order Number 128 dated 30 January 1987. Under this reorganization, NIST was renamed Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) and remained one of the R&D institutes under the DOST. All centers were abolished and ITDI now has ten (10) technical divisions with (MSRI) now absorbed by ITDI. Seven (7) divisions to undertake R&D activities, three (3) to render technical services and two (2) support divisions were created.
2009 to present	26th of August, the ITDI Rationalization Plan was approved and immediately implemented. The new structure consisted of the merger of some divisions / sections while the other divisions remained as separate divisions with minor internal restructuring.

The Department of Science and Technology (abbreviated as DOST; Filipino: Kagawaran ng Agham at Teknolohiya), is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for the coordination of science and technology-related projects in the Philippines and to formulate policies and projects in the fields of science and technology in support of national development.

The DOST was formed as the National Science Development Board on June 13, 1958, during the administration of President Carlos P. Garcia.[2] The science body was formed as a result of a law passed in the Congress upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked by Garcia to conduct a survey regarding the state of science and technology in the country. It was reorganized as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on March 17, 1981 and was given broader policy-making and program implementing functions.[3][4]

On January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the NSTA was elevated to cabinet-level status with the signing of Executive Order 128, and was renamed as the Department of Science and Technology.[4][5]

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.

Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. See below if you do not believe you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 131.186.16.0/20 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.

We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:17, 23 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.
