In his opening message, DOST XII Regional Director Engr. Sammy P. Malawan said that “this yearโ€™s RSTW will feature a diverse range of activities and milestones, underscoring the regionโ€™s unwavering commitment to innovation and community empowerment.”

DOST Undersecretary for Regional Operations, Engr. Sancho Mabborang, in his inspirational message, underscored how “sustainable development has shifted from being an idealistic choice to an absolute necessity.”

He stressed that “the choices we make today will not only impact our quality of life but also determine the well-being of future generations.”

In his keynote address, DOST Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. said that the โ€œcelebration is not merely about recognizing past achievements, it is about shaping the future โ€“ one that demands urgent action and a collective commitment to building a green economy that benefits both people and the planet.”

As part of the program, awards were given to Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) graduate projects, new SETUP projects, and the Best SETUP Adopters.

The DOST also recognized new Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST) projects and honored the Best CEST Community.

Adding more excitement to the program, the KatHABI Fashion Show was organized in partnership with the DOST Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI), which featured a stunning collection of garments and accessories crafted from locally sourced, sustainable textiles, highlighting the ingenuity of Filipino designers.

The fashion show was a celebration of culture, sustainability, and innovation, aligning with DOSTโ€™s vision of promoting circular economy principles and supporting local artisans and communities. (DOST V11)
