5 Filipino inventors with their invention

1. Maria Ulagan Orosa, a Filipino food technologist,

pioneered the production of banana ketchup during the
World War II when there was a huge shortage of
tomatoes.

2. Filipino entrepreneur Roberto del Rosario holds the

patent for the sing along system used for karaoke
machines.

3. Filipino physicist and engineer Gregorio Zara

invented the first two-way video phone.

4. The first 16-BIT microprocessor-based calculator

was designed by Dado Banatao who hails from Cagayan,
Philippines

5. Ideally, it takes up to 3 days or 72 hours before

someone can be rescued from a disaster. But without
any life-saving tools on hand, survival rate is
significantly reduced. Such was the inspiration behind
Rescue 72–a life vest and survival kit in one. Its
inventor, Danvic Briones, drew inspiration from the sad
fate of several Typhoon Ondoy victims. Rescue 72 is
equipped with compartments where you can put water-
proof bags containing first aid kits, water, light snacks,
and other items essential for survival.
5 well-known sports in the Philippines (pictures)

1. Basketball - This game ranks number 1 in the list of

Philippines' most popular sports. The love for
basket ball in the Philippines borders on Obsession.
The game is organized and nationally by the
Philippine Basket Ball Association. The country has
been able to forge a formidable team, Gilas
Pilipinas that competes on the international arena.
Naturally, taller people tend to do better in basket
ball. Filipinos are not particularly tall, but they do
possess a serious dose of unrelenting passion for
the game.

2. Boxing - This is another popular sport in tropical

Philippines. The country has been able to produce
award winning boxers with international
recognition.In fact, a total of 38 world champions
in different boxer's weight categories have come
from this country. One notable champion is Manny
Pacquiao who holds position 4 in Asia and position
10 worldwide. Manny's success has endeared many
Filipinos to this activity. There are other
outstanding boxers in the Philippines such as Flash
Elorde, Pancho Villa and Caferino Garcia.

3. Volleyball - Although largely seen as a high school

or college sports activity, Volley ball has been rising
on the list of the most popular sports in the
country. Women seem more passionate than men
about the game. UAAP, the most admired and
followed volley ball tournament by Filipinos has
players like Kim Kianna Dy, Cherry May Vivas and
Allysa valdez as shining examples of excellent
volley ball playing skills.

4. Billiards - This is yet another popular sport that

Filipinos are fond of. This game is the commonest
recreational activity among Filipino males.
Philippines has given the world a number of
outstanding Billiards players with Efren Reyes,
fondly known as the magician within Filipino
Billiard circles, leading the pack. Though not in the
league of basket ball or football, Squash has the
potential to become a popular sport for many
Filipinos.

5. Soccer is also a significantly popular sport in the

Philippines. The country's players have not shone
on the world stage but with the growing affinity for
soccer among youngsters, the sport might one day
surpass basket ball in terms of popularity.
5 different cultures exercise by Filipino’s (pictures)

1. Traditional Courtship.
“Uso pa ba ang harana?” is the starting line in
Pinoy rock band Parokya ni Edgar’s hit song, and it
basically sums up the fast-disappearing old school
Filipino way of courting a girl.
With the influx of Western ideas of dating,
traditional panliligaw is nearly extinct in many
areas of the country. Aside from harana, we can
hardly see the other inherent traditions of Filipino
courtship such as paninilbihan, wherein a suitor
does chores for the girl’s family to prove his love
for her.

2. Pagmamano
The most definitive way of showing respect to our
elders, pagmamano involves a youngster asking for
the hand of an elderly person and then kissing or
placing his/her forehead on the back of the hand.
In return, the elderly person will “bless” the
youngster.

3. Jeepney Art
The jeepney is easily one of the most uniquely
Filipino icons we have, it being the backbone of the
country’s public transportation system. Sadly, we
are beginning to see less of those artistically-
painted jeepneys of yesteryear due to the rising
costs of doing such a project. In 2011, it costs an
average P100,000 to paint a jeepney in Metro
Manila—no small change for drivers and operators
who earn little every day. As a result, many prefer
to just ditch the art and ply the roads with their
unpainted jeeps.

4. Spirituality
Although we Filipinos are a very spiritual people,
modern times have greatly limited our time for
spirituality. Masses and services are treated like a
cinema, where audiences come and go inside as
they please.

5. Folk Dance
Folk Dance History in the Philippines Folkloric
dance is the history of the people in movement. In
some cultures, pale fragments of it survive
centuries of invasions and Diasporas. In the
Philippines, folk dance is a strong and enduring
indigenous expression.
