The DOST Regional Office XI and Its Director Anthony Sales


Since August 2011 I am also working as DOST consultant here in Bajada, Davao City. I learned that DOST Region XI Director Dr. Anthony Sales is really an active director with an outstanding staff. Dr. Sales, before working on the private sector (food business, tuna cans, frozen coconut milk) became DOST XI director in 2009.


The Mandate/Mission is very clear: Provide direction, leadership, and coordination of scientific and technological efforts and ensure that results are geared and utilized in area of maximum economic and social benefits for the people and being in service for the people in this region.

By 2020, the Philippines shall have developed a wide range of globally competitive products and services of high  technology content.



I learned from Director Sales, that the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) is the department's umbrella program  which has been strongly implemented in the region since 2002. SETUP has been assisting MSME's (Medium and Small Enterprises) through technical assistance/consultancy, infusion of new technologies, provision  of funds for technology acquisition, manpower training, packaging and labeling designs as well as product testing.

DOST Services are there to contribute to the socio-economic development of Mindanao. DOST XI offers a wide range of innovative services that include technology upgrading, laboratory analysis, testing and calibration, shelf-life testing of food samples, advisory services, technology trainings, and scholarships programs. Furthermore, the DOST-RSTL (Regional Standards and Testing Laboratory) - Davao is also an accredited water testing laboratory by the Bureau of Health Facilities and Services of the Department of Health as well as one of the recognized laboratories for fish and fishery products by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Region XI.

One of several future ideas is the national project "Own technology and solar".


Dr. Anthony Sales, who likes reading novels and detective stories and enjoys relaxing at the beach or on his own farm with goats, pigs, chickens and ducks somewhere in Marilog voiced out this: We will continue to value honesty in public service, because our mission IS honesty and NOT corruption.
