The Department of Science and Technology is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year around the theme “Making Science Work for You” and has lined up a series of activities until June 2008.

It has recently unveiled a jubilee banner and a mascot named Tron that dances to the tune of a new DOST jingle called “Lift Your Head High” to promote interest in science and technology among Filipino youth.  Tron debuted during last year’s National Science and Technology Week opening rites held at Dusit Hotel in Makati City.
