Filipino scientist and their

contribution
 Gomez is a Filipino biologist who was conferred the rank of
National Scientist of the Philippines in 2004. he was a professor
emeritus for marine biology at the university of the Philippines
Marine Science institute.
Gomez saw the need to protect the Philippine archipelago’s vast
marine resources in particular that of coral reefs. He led the worlds
first national-scale assessment of damage to coral reefs leading to
international conservation initiatives such as the replanting of corals.
He also pioneered giant clam ( tridacna gigas) breeding stationed in
balinao and other protective areas for coastal communities of the
Philippines.
Additionally, he took part in creating the baseline the map of the
Philippines, and provided information to the Philippine government
during talks over the territorial dispute in the spratly island. In 2007,
EDGARDO dizon GOMEZ he pioneered the study on ocean acidification caused by increased
levels of absorbed carbon dioxide in the ocean.
 Gavino is a Filipino marine biologist dubbed as the "Father of
Kappaphycus farming“. He was conferred the rank of National
Scientist of the Philippines for contributions to the study of
tropical marine phycology, focusing on seaweed biodiversity. He is
currently a professor emeritus of the University of the Philippines
Marine Science Institute. Renowned for his outstanding
contribution in the field of tropical marine
Phycology with focus in seaweed biodiversity, biology, economy,

 Dr. Benito S. Vergara was a scientist in the plant sciences,
and was conferred the rank and title of National Scientist of
the Philippines in 2001, the highest honor bestowed by the
Philippine government for the work of the Filipino scientists.
His seminal work on the physiology of Deepwater and flood
tolerance, which has been adopted by the national breeding
programs leading to the identification of parent materials
with excellent flood tolerance.

 Baltazar is a Filipina entomologist. She specializes in
systematic entomology and economic entomology. Through
her research on Philippine Hymenoptera, Baltazar
discovered eight previously undescribed genera and 108
species of parasitic wasps. Her work on Hymenoptera was
important to future biological pest control in the Philippines.
She was named a National scientist of the Philippines on
2001.

 Alcala is a Filipino biologist who was named a National
Scientist of the Philippine in 2014. Alcala is know for his
fieldwork to build sanctuaries and to promote biodiversity in
the aquatic ecosystems of the Philippines. He is currently
chairman of the board of advisers at the Angelo king center for
research and environmental management located in Silliman
university. Responsible for publishing more than 200 peer-
reviewed articles and books, his biological contributions to the
environment and ecosystems have made him a renowned hero
for natural science in the Philippines.

 Born in Calizon, Bulacan, Dr. Santos earned this AB and MS
degrees at
the University of the Philippines in 1912 and 1919, respectively. Later
in 1922, he earned his doctorate degree in Biochemistry from Yale
University, USA. He was conferred the National Scientist Award in
1983 by being an outstanding educator and eminent scientist in the field
of human nutrition and agricultural chemistry. He is well remembered
for his deep concern and interest in the improvement of nutrition of the
Filipinos, especially in laboring and deprived areas. Dr. Santos
established the anti-beriberi content of sweet potato and demonstrated
the food value of this crop. He was among the very first to advocate
Dr. Francisco O. Santos home gardening, with fruits and vegetables as good source of
supplementary vitamins. – Bato Balani
 Dolores Ramirez-She has been working on
the genetic systems controlling the makapuno
endosperm of coconut; the genetics of chemical
resistance factors against Cercospora kex leaf
spot; and the cytogenetics of the hybrids of rice
with related wild species.

 Gregorio was a Filipino engineer and physicist best remembered for
inventing the first two-way video telephone. Zara’s video telephone invention
enabled the caller and recipient to see each other while conversing, laying the
foundation for video-conferencing. Zara was an outstanding student who
graduated valedictorian in elementary and high school before obtaining a
scholarship to study mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). He went on to graduate with highest distinction in
aeronautical engineering and physics from the University of Michigan and the
University of Paris, respectively. Zara held 30 patents for devices and
equipment. Other notable creations include an induction compass used by
pilots for direction, a solar-powered water heater and an alcohol-fuelled
aeroplane engine. Zara also discovered a law of electrical kinetic resistance
Gregorio Y. Zara
known as the Zara effect. Dr. Zara's important achievements include: the
invention of two-way television telephone, electrical kinetic resistance
known as the Zara effect, airplane engine using alcohol as fuel which was
first flown at the Manila International Airport on September 30, 1954 and
solar energy.
 Dr. Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, made significant
contributions to the field of science during his lifetime. One of his most notable
achievements was his study of the Philippine fauna, particularly the study of the
different species of birds in the country. Rizal was an avid ornithologist and
collected many specimens of birds during his travels throughout the Philippines.
He also made detailed observations of their behavior, habitat, and
distribution.Rizal also made important contributions to the field of botany. He
collected and studied different species of plants, particularly those that were used
for medicinal purposes. He also made observations on the effects of deforestation
on the environment and the impact it had on the local communities.In addition to
his work in ornithology and botany, Rizal also made important contributions to
the field of anthropology. He studied the customs and traditions of the different
ethnic groups in the Philippines, and his observations and findings were used to
Dr. Jose Rizal help preserve the country's cultural heritage.In conclusion, Dr. Jose Rizal made
significant contributions to the field of science in the Philippines through his
studies in ornithology, botany, and anthropology. His work helped to preserve the
country's natural and cultural heritage and continues to be an inspiration for
future generations of scientists.
 In succeeding years, Rizal earned high praises from
European scientist for all of the rare species he discovered.
Three of which was named in his honor: the draco rizali, a
small lizard popularly known as a flying dragon, apoganian
rizali, a rare kind of beetle, and the Rhacophorus rizali, a
percurial frog species.
