Representing DOST Secretary Fortunato dela Peña, Dr. Carlos Primo David, executive director of DOST-PCIEERD, said that they, at the DOST, desire to help the local textile industry rise back to the ranks in the international community by employing science and technology (S&T) in textile research and development (R&D).
The roadmap aims at Philippine textile industry that is culture-sensitive, robust, sustainable, and profitable based on Filipino knowledge using locally available raw materials.
The roadmap by DOST to boost textile industry is drawn for a duration of five years from 2016 to 2020.
