Anacleto del Rosario
(13 July 1860, Santa Cruz, Manila – 2 May 1895)
was a leading chemist in the Philippines during
the Spanish era in Philippine history.
-"Father of Philippine Science and Laboratory"
-invented the formula for producing a pure kind
of alcohol from tuba in a nipa palm. -which won
first prize during the World Fair in Paris, France
in 1881.
-extracted castor oil from the palma christi,
literally the "palm of Christ" (castor bean), a
native plant in the Philippines
-Filipino botanist claimed to be the inventor of
Quink ink used by The Parker Pen Company.
He studied in the Philippines and the US,
gaining a BSc from the University of the
Philippines School of Agriculture,[disputed –
discuss] Los Baños in 1918 and an MSc in 1921.
He travelled to the US and gained a PhD in
Plant Taxonomy, Systematics and Morphology
from the University of Chicago in 1923, under
the American pensionado program.[citation
needed]
He went back to the Philippines after World
War II but was unable to organize the Philippine
Ink Corporation under the Japanese
Reparations Program because of too much
government intervention.
-Quink, which was sold in the US from 1931, is
claimed to stand for 'Quisumbing Ink', but
there is no reliable evidence to support this.
Parker state instead that the name is an
amalgam of "quick and ink".[4] However
Parker did license the manufacture of Quink in
the Philippines, for that market, and the bottles
were labelled as such.[5] This, together with
the name coincidence, may have been the
source of the rumour.

Manuel S. Guerrero (8 January 1877–4 January
1919) was a Filipino medical doctor who studied

medicinal plants of the country
General Electric Company. It was believed that
the company bought the patent rights and
manufactured the bulb under their name. If by
any case anything of that really happened,
Agapito Flores does not deserve the credit of
inventing the fluorescent lamp. The history of
the development of such lamps says that there
are other inventors who were far ahead of the
Filipino electrician.
Juan Salcedo Jr.
was a former Secretary of the Department of
Health in the Philippines. He was also one of the
original board of trustees and incorporators of
the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement
outstanding public health nutritionist
was elected president of the World Health
Organization Assembly in 1952. He published
more than 200 articles on medicine, science
and technology and was named a National
Scientist in 1978. Salcedo died on Oct. 25, 1988.

Ramon Cabanos Barba

(born August 31, 1939, San Nicolas, Ilocos
Norte[1]) is a Filipino inventor and
horticulturist[2][3] best known for inventing a
way to induce more flowers in mango trees
using ethrel and potassium nitrate.[4] Barba was
proclaimed a National Scientist of the
Philippines in June 2014.[5]

Dr. Barba was also recognized as one of the Ten

Outstanding Young Men in Agriculture in 1974,
and was given the Horticultural Technology
Award in June 1999

Agapito Flores
was born in Guiguinto in the province of Bulacan,
Philippines on September 28, 1897. Early in his
life, he has become an apprentice in a machine
shop. He trained at a vocational school in Tondo,
Manila to become an electrician. After tinkering
with glass tubes, Flores was able to make them
give off white light. This invention was said to
have reached then President Manuel L. Quezon,
who was amazed by Flores’ ingenuity. Reports
claim that Agapito Flores had received a French
patent for the fluorescent bulb through the
