MANILA, Philippines — More of the government's budget must be allocated to the science and technology sector, which has stagnated from lack of funding, labor leader Leody De Guzman said.

 

On a scale of one to 10, De Guzman said the science and technology sector will have a priority rating of 7 should he be elected president.
