ASTI was rationalized, structurally and<br />
functionally, effective upon the approval of<br />
its RP on 10 June 2009. Under said plan,<br />
the Institute shall continue to pursue its<br />
mandate of providing strategic support for<br />
the requirements of the local information<br />
and communications technology and<br />
electronics industries, developing<br />
local capacity in microelectronics and<br />
information technology, and transferring<br />
the benefits of these technologies to<br />
local beneficiaries in consonance with its<br />
commitment of contributing significantly to<br />
the community, academe, industry and the<br />
government.<br />
Organizational Changes<br />
The Institute is still headed by a Director<br />
IV (SG 28) item but is no longer assisted<br />
by a Director III (SG 27) position. The said<br />
position was abolished pursuant to the<br />
internal guidelines set by the Department<br />
of Science and Technology (DOST) Change<br />
Management Team that agencies with less<br />
than 100 personnel should no longer have<br />
a Deputy Director position.<br />
Structurally, the Institute maintained its six<br />
(6) divisions: Office of the Director (OD),<br />
Finance and Administrative Division (FAD),<br />
Communications Engineering Division<br />
(CED), Microelectronics Division (MED),<br />
Computer Software Division (CSD), and<br />
Special Projects Division (SPD). The only<br />
organizational modification is the renaming<br />
of the three (3) technical divisions: CED<br />
to Solutions and Services Engineering<br />
Division (SSED); MED to Research and<br />
Development Division (RDD); and SPD to<br />
Knowledge Management Division (KMD).<br />
Staffing Modification<br />
ASTI is one of the of three (3) agencies<br />
under DOST which was aimed at<br />
strengthening its human resources to<br />
respond and keep up with the rapidly<br />
2009 Annual Report<br />
New ASTI Organizational Chart<br />
changing and ever evolving technologies<br />
in the fields of information and<br />
communications and electronics. From<br />
a total of 49 authorized positions, and<br />
a corresponding Personal Services (PS)<br />
budget of Php10,801,902.44 at the start<br />
of ASTI’s rationalization efforts in October<br />
2005, the Institute now has a total of 67<br />
authorized positions and a corresponding<br />
PS budget of Php16,229,370.04.<br />
The increase in the number of positions<br />
is due to the creation of 19 positions<br />
distributed to the three (3) technical<br />
divisions of the Institute. Of these<br />
positions, 15 are already filled<br />
Moreover, under the rationalized structure,<br />
ASTI no longer has a lump sum fund for<br />
contractual positions.<br />
