It's official! The #Philippines will now have its own Space Agency and Space Development and Utilisation policy! Mabuhay!

Republic Act 11363 or The Philippine Space Act has been officially signed by President Rodrigo Duterte on August 8, 2019! RA 11363 now officially establishes both the Philippine Space Agency and the Philippine Space Development and Utilization Policy. This landmark law is unique since it creates both Agency and Policy at the same time!

Congrats Dr. Rogel Mari Sese!
