    Science
    Dr. Julian A.
    Banzon
    • Chemist
    • Researched methods of
    producing alternative fuels.
    • Experimented with the
    production of ethyl esters
    fuels from sugarcane and
    coconut, and invented a
    means of extracting residual
    coconut oil by a chemical
    process rather than physical
    process
    Dr. Alfredo Santos
    • pioneer in phytochemistry
    and plant-based medicine.
    • He studied a wide variety
    of Philippine medicinal
    plants, focusing on the
    alkaloids (naturally
    occurring organic
    compounds with basic
    nitrogen atoms).
    • His vast body of work
    continues to guide today’s
    researchers, students, and
    medical professionals in
    studying local medicinal
    plants.
    Dr. Lourdes J. Cruz
    • Biochemist Who Studied A
    Deadly Snail.
    • is lauded for her research
    on Conus geographus, a marine
    snail found in the Philippines.
    •  she studied the properties of
    the snail’s venom, which were
    largely unknown at the time.
    • Their research paved the way
    toward finding practical uses for
    conotoxins, leading to
    breakthroughs in neuroscience
    and medicine.
    Francisco Quisumbing
    • Botanist
    • The Parker Pen is a company of
    a luxury pen founded in 1988.
    • He invented the Quink Ink (a
    fountain pen ink) introduced in
    1931. 
    Dr. Luz Oliveros-Belardo

    • Phytochemistry

    • Her significant contribution to


    science is her work on essential
    oils from Philippine plants.

    An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the
    plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is
    derived.

    ► is the field concerned with sharing science content


    and process with individuals not traditionally considered
    part of the scientific community.
    ► traditional subjects included in the standards
    are physical, life, earth, space, and human sciences.
    UNESCO’s work in Science Education aims to
    make a difference.

    ► Providing a sound basis in Physics, Mathematics and


    Chemistry enables the youth to pursue their goals,
    regardless of their background.
    ► Micro science kits are distributed.
