Dr. Fe Del Mundo
As far as I can remember, I have been idolizing her for a few years now. She is the first ever Asian to have entered the prestigious Harvard University’s School of Medicine. Just WOW! She is also credited for her studies that led to the invention of Incubator and jaundice relieving device.
Eduardo San Juan
Would you believe if I tell you that the inventor of the Lunar Rover, popularly known as Moon Buggy which was used by Neil Armstrong and other astronauts when they first explored the moon in 1969 was invented by a Filipino? Eduardo San Juan in fact constructed its model using homemade materials only!
San Juan, however, was not listed as the inventor of the Moon Buggy in American scientific journals. It said the vehicle was designed and constructed by a group of space engineers. In Poland, the Moon Buggy is attributed to a Polish inventor. Worse, the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) does not recognize San Juan in its roster of outstanding Filipino scientists.
A Filipino has made the world brighter by inventing the Florescent Lamp.
Countless number of Filipino inventors are still out there. Either recognized or not, their accomplishments just prove to the world that Filipinos got what it takes to gain international recognition and make current dreams into future realities!
