A. FILIPINO SCIENTISTS
              1. Dr. Francisco O. Santos
He will be remembered for his deep concern and
            interest in the improvement of Filipino
           nutrition. He made an in-depth study of
         the value of traditional Filipino foods-the
                amounts of nutrients, their vitamin
        content, and their chemical composition.
       He also researched on Philippine nutrition
 problems such as the effects of a poor diet. He
 established the anti-beriberi vitamin content of
 Sweet potato (camote) and was the very first to
                         advocate home gardening.

                                   2.Dr. Dioscoro L. Umali
    He is known for breeding improved varieties of food
      grains, legumes, fruits, and ornamental plants. His
        researched output and writings have inspired the
          launching of programs like rainfed and upland
agriculture, social forestry, environmental conservation,
                             and rural poverty alleviation.
 Dr. Umali is a strong advocate of people’s participation
            in the state’s decision making process and the
      adaptation of technology and development models
 appropriate to the country’s geography, tradition, and
    social history. He inspired his fellow scientists to set
  their goals on the development of full human potential
                                 and social transformation.

                               3.Dr. Juan Salcedo

Dr. Salcedo discovered enriched rice for the prevention
 of beriberi. Enriched rice is fortified with vitamin B1
     was good cure for beriberi. He also launched some
                            popular programs such as:

  a. The vaccination of BCG to combat tuberculosis,
  which was the number –one killer in the Philippines
                                     during his time.

    b. The extensive drive to combat malaria-carrying
                                         mosquitoes.
A. FILIPINO SCIENTISTS
                       4.Dr. Edito G. Garcia

 Dr. Garcia’s significant contribution is in the area of
   immunology and parasitic infections. He has been
 conducting studies on the development of a vaccine
                         for Schistosomiasis japonica.

    To date 18 scientific papers have been written and
  published in foreign journals, and a vaccine against
infection has been developed based on his researched.
A. FILIPINO SCIENTISTS
                    5.Dr. Oscar B. Varona

  Dr. Varona invented an electronic fire and burglar
    alarm, and the process of making vegetable food
   products with meat-like structure and flavor. His
      electronic Fire and burglar alarm won the first
 Presidential award in 1970. The process of making
vegetable food products with meat-like structure and
                        flavor won the second award.

He is well known for his swine production and
                    animal nutrition program.
His contributions helped improved the quality
 and quantity of meat products. His projects
           made use of indigenous and cheaper
     materials as feeds for growing swine. His
                 contributions greatly boosted
                        the livelihood industry.
