Invented (Discovered) by Dr. Abelardo Aguilar in 1949. He sent a sample to Eli Lilly, who promptly stole the idea and patented it, and later marketed it successfully. Remember kids, this is why the great inventors always go to attorneys first… He never received a single peso from his product, that saved millions of lives (Thank him if you are allergic to penicillin!).

Filipino Doctor Abelardo Aguilar co-discovered Iloson. This antibiotic was sold as an alternative to penicillin. Erythromycin, the generic name of Iloson, was reportedly the first successful macrolide antibiotic introduced in the US.

There are a number of Filipino chemists that are famous for their contribution towards science. Ten of these chemists are John Paul Vergara, Anacleto del Rosario, Maria Orosa, Baldomero Oliveria, Amando Kapauan, Fabian Dayrit, Ma. Assunta Cuyegkeng, Julian Banzon, Paulo Campos and Ramon Barba.

• John Paul Vergara - a renowned professor and scientist who has received a number of awards including Scholarly Performance in Graduate Study.
• Anacleto del Rosario - a leading chemist in the Phillipines best known for making a pure form of alcohol from a nipa palm and for extracting castor oil.
• Maria Orosa - a chemist and food technologist, Orosa experimented with food and discovered the Soyalac, a 'magic' food that helped save the lives of thousands of prisoners of war.
• Baldomero Oliveria - most famous for his discovery of the cone snail toxins. This was a very important discovery for neuroscience and it led to the breakthrough discovery of ions. He was also the first to discover E-coli.
• Amando Kapauan - one of the first to study the problem of mercury in the environment and designed equipment to analyze its presence in soil and water.
• Fabian Dayrit - the current president of the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines.
• Ma. Assunta Cuyegkeng - a member of several editorial boards of chemistry journals, Cuyegkeng is a multi-awarded teacher with an outstanding reputation.
• Julian Banzon - researched methods of producing alternative fuels and experimented with the production of ethyl esters from sugarcane and coconut.
• Paulo Campos - a specialist in nuclear medicine who has written over 75 scientific papers.
• Ramon Barba - best known for his advancements with crop flowering promotion, particularly his experiments in mango farming.

John Paul Vergara

John Paul C. Vergara is a Professor at the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University. He is currently the Vice President for the Loyola Schools of the University, succeeding Ma. Assunta Cuyegkeng, Ph.D..

Education[edit]

Vergara graduated from Philippine Science High School in 1982. He then attended the Ateneo de Manila University as National Science and Technology Agency scholar, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Computer Science and in Mathematics in 1986. In 1990, he completed his Master of Science studies in computer science and applications at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). In 1997, he completed his doctorate in the same field at the same institution, where he was recognized for Scholarly Performance in Graduate Study.[1][2][3]
As a scientist and educator[edit]

Vergara became a member of the Ateneo de Manila University faculty in 1986. He became professor and chair of the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science, and also became head of the Information Technology department of the Ateneo Graduate School of Business as well as Assistant Director of the Ateneo Information Technology Institute. In 2008, he was a visiting adjunct professor at Virginia Tech's Department of Computer Science. Vergara has also held numerous consulting positions, is a member of numerous scientific organizations, and has refereed various academic journals.[1][2][3]
As Ateneo administrator[edit]

Vergara was appointed Vice President for Administration and Planning by the Ateneo's Board of Trustees, a position he held from April 2009 to March 2010. Subsequently, he was chosen as the next Vice President for the Loyola Schools.[1][2][3]
Awards and recognition[edit]

Vergara's awards include recognition for Scholarly Performance in Graduate Study by Virginia Tech in 1997. He was also awarded the DuPont Miracles of Science Award by DuPont Far East in July 2001. Vergara was likewise named one of the Outstanding Young Scientists by the Philippines' National Academy of Science and Technology.[1][2][3]

Ismael Aviso Repelling Force Technology

Philippines inventor Ismael Aviso is a microwave engineer and industrial automation designer. Ismael has discovered a new highly efficient repelling force principle.

This new discovery has been developed into a self charging battery system for an electric car application. Yes, you did read that statement correctly, Ismael Aviso's electric car has recently been validated by the Philippine Department of Energy.

They ran three tests of each type. Using the conventional power supply coming from a wall outlet the efficiency of the DC motor was at 45%. More than half the energy is being wasted as back-EMF, resistance, and heat. Using the DC motor powered from Aviso's system - The DC motor operated at what would of needed to be 125% and 133% more energy from a conventional power source.

The device took the excess energy from another source other then the on board supplied input power. This is an open system. Its Co-efficiency of performance (COP) is over 1.

There were two energy inputs meaning that more energy was produced by a secondary input than was consumed by the on board power supply. This validates the claim of "self-running" as possible due to the excess energy being harvested from the environment.
