Science is the systematic study of the physical and natural world through

observation, experimentation, and evidence-based analysis. It seeks to


understand how the universe behaves, covering fields like physics, biology,
and chemistry to explain phenomena and solve problems. It is a continuous,
rigorous process.

Key aspects of science include:

 Methodology: Utilizing observation, measurement, and


experimentation to test hypotheses and build knowledge.

 Branches: Broadly divided into natural sciences (physical world),


social sciences (individuals/societies), and formal sciences (logic,
mathematics).

 Purpose: To explain the "how" and "why" of natural events and to


create, innovate, and improve, such as in technology or medicine.

 Evidence-Based: Conclusions are derived from data rather than


speculation.

Science has been a part of human history, with formal studies of nature
dating back to ancient philosophy. It is both a way of knowing and an
institution that informs society.

Top Filipino scientists include Ramon Barba (mango flowering), Fe del Mundo
(pediatrics, bamboo incubator), Angel Alcala (marine biodiversity), Gregorio
Zara (videophone, alcohol engine), Maria Orosa (food tech), Diosdado
Banatao (microchips), and Lourdes Cruz (sea snail venom), known for
pioneering work in agriculture, medicine, marine science, technology, and
food innovation, earning national recognition and significant global impact.

Here are some of the most prominent Filipino scientists:

1. Ramon Cabanos Barba:

Developed a technique to induce flowering in mango trees, revolutionizing


the industry.

2. Fe del Mundo:

A pioneering pediatrician who founded the first pediatric hospital and


invented a bamboo incubator for premature babies.
3. Angel Alcala:

A marine biologist known for promoting marine biodiversity and conserving


coral reefs, creating artificial reefs.

4. Gregorio Y. Zara:

An inventor with patents for a videophone and a solar-powered water


heater; discovered the "Zara effect".

5. Maria Orosa:

A food technologist who developed preserved foods, including the famous


banana ketchup, and created enriched rice.

6. Diosdado "Dado" Banatao:

A computer science pioneer who designed the first 16-bit microprocessor and
graphics accelerator chips.

7. Lourdes Jansuy Cruz:

A biochemist known for her research on the venom of cone snails, leading to
potential new medicines.

8. Edgardo Gomez:

A marine scientist who led the first national assessment of coral reef damage
and promoted marine conservation.

9. Julian Banzon:

A chemist who researched alternative fuels from sugarcane and coconuts.

10. Enrique Mapua Ostrea Jr.:

Invented the meconium drug test for newborns.
