2. Why did the Philippines adopt the SI units ?
Answer (1)
Answer:The Philippines adopted SI units (the metric system, like meters, kilograms, and liters) to align with global standards, making trade and communication with other countries easier. The system’s base-10 structure simplifies calculations compared to older units like inches or pounds. In the 1960s and 1970s, the government passed laws, such as Presidential Decree No. 8 in 1975, to make SI units the official standard for schools and businesses, following the worldwide trend toward metrication.
