Ana is a college student from Manila. She visits Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Mindanao, for a school field trip. While exploring, she meets a group of T'boli people, an indigenous tribe with a rich culture. Ana sees that T'boli women wear traditional clothes with detailed designs and patterns. They also wear brass accessories. The T'boli men wear G-strings and carry spears. At first, Ana thinks the T'boli people's way of dressing is "backward" and "uncivilized." What is being described by the scenario above?

A team of marine biologists wants to study the unique ecosystems found in the deepest parts of the ocean, such as the Mariana Trench. However, the extreme pressure and darkness at these depths make it impossible for humans to explore without advanced technology. What does this imply?

• Technology can't proceed without scientific knowledge.

• Science can't proceed without technology.

• Technology is dependent on the body of knowledge/ scientific knowledge.

• Science and technology are not related to one another, and they can proceed independently.

A team of engineers at a tech firm wants to develop a new cancer treatment that uses nanoparticles to target and destroy cancer cells. However, before they can design and build the nanoparticles, they need to understand the underlying biology of cancer cells and how they interact with the nanoparticles. What does this imply?

• Technology can't proceed without scientific knowledge/ science.

• Science can't proceed without technology.

• Science and technology are not related to one another, and they can proceed independently.

• Science and technology have their own purpose, and the result of the utilization of science and technology can benefit science and technology independently.
