Julian Banzon

Researched methods of producing alternative fuels. Julian Banzon experimented with the production of ethyl esters fuels from sugarcane andcoconut, and invented a means of extracting residual coconut oil by a chemical process rather than a physical process. Julian Banzon - Degrees: BS in Chemistry from the University of the Philippines - 1930 Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from Iowa State University - 1940Julian Banzon - Awards: 1980: Distinguished Service Award - Integrated Chemist of the Philippines, Inc. 1978: Chemist of the Year Award - Professional Regulation Commission 1976: Philsugin Award - Crop Society of the Philippines Dr. Banzon has done a great deal of work on local materials especially coconut as the renewable source of chemicals and fuels. His work on the production of ethyl esters from sugarcane and coconut is the first study on fuels from these crops. He alsodevised some novel processes noteworthy among these is the extraction of residual coconut oil bychemical, rather than by physical processes For these and many more significant scientific works, Dr.Banzon has been accorded honors and citations notably: Distinguished Service Award, Integrated

Chemistof the Philippines, Inc. (1980), Chemist of the Year Award, Professional Regulation Commission (1978)and the PHILSUGIN Award for research, Crop Society of the Philippines, 1976.

Arturo Alcaraz

Is the one who powered an electric light bulb using steam-powered electricity (geothermal energy) near the town of Tiwi in the Philippines which gave him the title, "Father of Geothermal Energy of the Philippines"

Dado Banatao Was born on May 23, 1946 to a rice farmer and housekeeper where he grew up in a little barrio named Malabhac in the farming town of Iguig in Cagayan Valley Province. When he was a kid, Banatao used to walk barefoot to school along the dirt roads. He then went to Ateneo de Tuguegarao and at 15 pursued college education at Mapua Institute of Technology where he graduated cum laude with an Electrical Engineering degree. Dado was then offered a job after graduation at Meralco but then he turned down the offer after knowing the starting salary. He instead applied as a pilot trainee at Philippine Airlines, which paid much more. Little did he know that a turning point of his career will come when Boeing pirated him as a design engineer and brought him to US.He then enjoyed engineering and later on pursued further studies taking a Masters in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, which he completed in 1972 to be trained properly on his craft. After graduating with his Masters degree, Dado then worked at some of the leading-edge technology companies that include National Semiconductor, Intersil, and Commodore International where he designed the first single chip, 16-bit microprocessor-based calculator. In 1981, while he was working at Seeq Technology, the inventor of Ethernet approached the company to look for a more efficient way of linking computers. B anatao was then assigned with the task that led him to his breakthrough discovery of by putting the Ethernet controller on a single chip instead of big boards. That was then the first 10-Mbit Ethernet CMOS with silicon coupler data-link control and transreceiver chip. With that breakthrough discovery, Dado then decided to start his company and be his own boss. With US$500,000 seed capital that came mostly from friends, he put up Mostron i 1985 to develop chip sets. As a start up company, he had to be cost efficient and resourceful. He then used equipment from another company that wasnt used on weekends to debug chips. Later his hard work and dedication paid off when his company developed the first system logic chip set for the PC-XT and PC-AT, which lowered the cost of building the personal computer and made it much more powerful. About the same time, Dado started his second company named Chips and Technologies (C&T), which created enhanced graphics adapter chip sets. With its success, sales during the first quarter amounted to US$12 million. In less than a year, the company went public by listing its shares in the stock market and the markets response was remarkable. It was one of the fastest Initial Public Offering (IPO) listings in the history of US stock market. In 1996, multinational semiconductor giant Intel bought C&T making Banatao richer by US$430 million.

Si Paulo C. Campos

(1921 2007 ) ay kilala bilang Ama ng Medisinang Nukleyar. Siya rin ay kilala dahil sa kanyang kontribusyon sa pananaliksik sa sakit na goiter. Siya ang utak sa pagkakatayo ng radioscope laboratory, research laboratory at klinika para sa goiter sa Pilipinas. Sa kanyang paglathala ng iba't-ibang sulatin ukol sa sakit na goiter, siya ay pinarangalan bilangPambansang Siyentipiko noong 1988. Ipinanganak siya sa Dasmarias, Cavite noong Hulyo 27, 1921. Nakapagtapos siya ng pag-aaral sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas noong 1945, sa John Hopkins School of Medicine (1953), at sa Oakridge Institute of Medicine (1958). Nakapagsilbi bilang Chairman ng National Research Council ng Pilipinas (1981-1984) at ng National Academy of Science and Technology (1978 - 1989). Ang kanyang pag-aaral na pinamagatan niyang "The Genetic Factor in Endemic Goiter" ay naipresenta sa Lungsod ng Mexico na kung saan siya ay binigyan siya ng nominasyon ng International Atomic Energy Agency para sa isang Nobel Prize taong 1970

Josefino Comiso Is a senior scientist at the Cryospheric Sciences Branch of the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. At Goddard, he co-authored the first satellite atlases on sea ice that revealed for the first time the true extent and spatial distribution of sea ice in the polar regions. He also generated the first detailed maps of surface temperatures in the polar regions as derived from thermal infrared satellite data. His research led to new insights into many important processes in the polar regions. Those include the role of sensible and latent heat polynyas (Polyna is a Russian word meaning an enclosed area of unfrozen water surrounded by ice) and the Greenland Sea Odden on ocean convection and bottom water formation. The Odden is a large sea ice feature that forms in the east Greenland Sea that may protrude eastward to 5E from the main sea ice pack (at about 8W) between 73 and 77N. It generally forms at the beginning of the winter season and can cover 300,000 km2 (115,800 sq. miles). His research also includes the influence of sea ice on phytoplankton blooms and the warming signals revealed by sea ice in the polar oceans. He has been a member of satellite sensor teams and has developed algorithms for the retrieval of sea ice concentration, surface temperature, albedo, and clouds. He was the chief scientist in many NASA aircraft missions that included a flight over a nuclear submarine in the Arctic and has participated in many Antarctic field programs. In addition to the three sea ice atlases, he is the author or co-author of several book chapters and more than a hundred refereed journal articles. He received his Masters Degree in Physics from Florida State University and Ph. D. in physics from the University of California in Los Angeles. He held a post-doctoral position at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and worked as a senior consultant for Computer Sciences Corporation before joining NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
