    FILIPINO SCIENTISTS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

    1. Angel Alcala
    • For his important contributions to the fields of marine biology and
    environmental science, as well as to the study of Philippine amphibians
    and reptiles, he was awarded National Scientist of the Philippines in
    2014.
    • Participate in creating the Apo Island Marine Reserve, a protected area
    in the Philippines that serves as a global role model for marine
    conservation.
    • He built the first artificial coral reefs for Southeast Asian fisheries in 1997.
    • From September 1992 until June 1995, he was the Secretary of the
    DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources).
    2. Gavino C. Trono Jr.
    • referred to as "The Father of Kappaphycus farming"
    • Was awarded the title of Filipino National Scientist in 2014 for his work
    on tropical marine phycology with an emphasis on seaweed
    biodiversity.
    • Aid in the expansion of seaweed farming.
    3. Reina Reyes
    • During her Ph.D. studies in the U.S. in 2010, utilizing weak gravitational
    lensing, she was dubbed "The Filipina who proved Einstein correct" for
    validating Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity on a cosmic scale.
    • Dark Matter Stimulations have benefited greatly from Reyes'
    contributions. She is one of the co-creators of the computer program
    known as Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in Three Dimensions (BAO 3D),
    which simulates the behavior of dark matter in the universe. In order to
    better comprehend the structure and evolution of the universe,
    researchers have utilized this code in several cosmological simulations.
    4. Edgardo Gomez
    • In 2014, he was named the Philippines' National Scientist after leading
    the first-ever national-scale assessment of coral reef destruction.
    • Acknowledged his contributions to marine ecosystems, coral reef
    ecology and conservation, giant clam stock restoration, and the
    advancement of marine science competence.
    5. Ramon Cabanos Barba
    • Awarded the title of National Scientist of the Philippines in 2014 for
    developing a method to use ethrel and potassium nitrate to force
    mango trees to flower at any time of year, improving the local mango
    industry.
    • Barba created a coconut oil expeller machine in the 1940s to make it
    simpler to extract coconut oil. This cut labor costs and significantly
    increased production efficiency of coconut oil, making it more
    affordable for producers and farmers.
    • He also created a machine for sugar cane juice extraction and a
    method for rapeseed, soybean, and peanut oil extraction.
