Abstract

Building up the scientific manpower of a country has become even more critical with the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the unprecedented global conditions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. At the core of scientific manpower development are the graduate science programs in universities. In this paper, we discuss how university policies can have repercussions on the national and economic security of the Philippines.
