As the National Womenโs Month celebration comes to a meaningful close, the Department of Science and TechnologyโQuirino (DOSTโQuirino) continues to strengthen its commitment to empowering women through science, technology, and innovation. These efforts were realized through a series of webinars conducted for participants from the Quirino State University (QSU) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)โCagayan Valley.
Serving as the resource speaker, Dr. Rocela Angelica B. Gorospe, Provincial Director of DOSTโQuirino, delivered tailored discussions for each institution. For participants from Quirino State University (QSU), she presented the topic โWomen Leadership and Innovation,โ highlighting the growing and transformative role of women across various sectors. She emphasized how women continue to break barriers and excel in careers, academics, leadership, technology, and scienceโembodying resilience, versatility, and excellence in todayโs evolving landscape.
Meanwhile, for participants from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)โCagayan Valley, Dr. Gorospe delivered the topic โWomen Empowerment through Science, Technology, and Innovation.โ The discussion underscored the vital role of science and technology in creating inclusive opportunities and empowering women to become active contributors to economic development, community transformation, and sustainable progress.
Dr. Gorospe also emphasized DOSTโs continued efforts in advancing women empowerment through its various programs and initiatives, including research and development training, innovation support mechanisms, leadership enhancement activities, and opportunities for global engagement. These initiatives serve as vital platforms that enable women to harness their full potential, lead with confidence, and actively contribute to nation-building.
Through initiatives such as these, DOSTโQuirino reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate, and inspire. As we celebrate the remarkable contributions of women this National Womenโs Month, the agency remains steadfast in promoting gender equality and advancing science and technology as powerful enablers for inclusive growth and development.
