These guidelines for online behavior and interaction are known as netiquette. Security Remember that your password is the only thing protecting you from pranks or more serious harm. Don't share your password with anyone. Change your password if you think someone else might know it. Always log out when you are finished using the system. Appearance Bear in mind that you are attending a class, dress appropriately. General Guidelines When communicating online, you should always: Treat your instructor and classmates with respect in email or any other communication. Always use your professors’ proper title: Dr. or Prof., or if in doubt use Mr. or Ms. Unless specifically invited, don’t refer to your instructor by first name. Use clear and concise language. Remember that all college level communication should have correct spelling and grammar (this includes discussion boards). Avoid slang terms such as “wassup?” and texting abbreviations such as “u” instead of “you.” Use the prescribed font Palatino Linotype and use a size 10-point font. Avoid using the caps lock feature AS IT CAN BE INTERPRETTED AS YELLING. Limit and possibly avoid the use of emoticons like :) or J. Be cautious when using humor or sarcasm as tone is sometimes lost in an email or discussion post and your message might be taken seriously or sound offensive. Be careful with personal information (both yours and other’s). Do not send confidential information via e-mail. Email Netiquette When you send an email to your instructor, teaching assistant, or classmates, you should: Use a descriptive subject line. Be brief. Avoid attachments unless you are sure your recipients can open them. Avoid HTML in favor of plain text. Sign your message with your name and return e-mail address. Think before you send the e-mail to more than one person. Does everyone really need to see your message? 4 Science, Technology, and Society Be sure you REALLY want everyone to receive your response when you click, “reply all.” Be sure that the message author intended for the information to be passed along before you click the “forward” button. Message Board Netiquette and Guidelines When posting on the Discussion Board in your online class, you should: Make posts that are on topic and within the scope of the course material. Take your posts seriously and review and edit your posts before sending. Be as brief as possible while still making a thorough comment. Always give proper credit when referencing or quoting another source. Be sure to read all messages in a thread before replying. Don’t repeat someone else’s post without adding something of your own to it. Avoid short, generic replies such as, “I agree.” You should include why you agree or add to the previous point. Always be respectful of others’ opinions even when they differ from your own. When you disagree with someone, you should express your differing opinion in a respectful, non-critical way. Do not make personal or insulting remarks. Be open-minded.

Readings Enhancing the progress of science must continue to be an important priority to meet the future needs of mankind (Rörsch, 2014). However, progress presented can’t be documented true to its meaning without understanding the past events. One must grasp first the history or timeline of science development to compare if the current discovery or contribution is considered a step higher from its predecessor or has originality. The following links contains detail that can assist you on the topic.

Definition of Terms: Medieval Period The medieval period is frequently referred to as the Dark Ages. A time “Dark Ages”. Several fields of the arts flourished, and during which a interesting discoveries were made in sciences such as civilization chemistry which is transmitted to Europe from old undergoes a decline Alexandria through the Arabs in the 13th century Colonizers. Countries that (Rörsch, 2014). At that time also the oldest occupy a native 17 Science, Technology, and Society universities were established (Cambridge 1209, country and asserts Montpellier 1220, Padua 1222, Sorbonne 1253, political control in it. Valladolid 1292). The spiritual world in Europe was Harbingers. A dominated by the Roman Catholic Church, where forerunner of something obedience to the Church’s enforced doctrines without Notable. Worthy of questioning was observed. This influence of the attention or notice Catholic Church affected science. Galileo Galilei Revolutionary (1616) was accused of being a heretic when he Fearlessly presented the evidence that the Earth was circling the advocates radical Sun, instead of the other way round, and that sunrise change and sunset are caused by the planet’s rotation around its axis. In 1632, he published a book that stated, Hazard Alerts: among other things, that the heliocentric theory of Copernicus was correct. Galileo was once again called None before the Inquisition and this time was found guilty of heresy where he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1633. The Age of Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution Authoritative powers weaken at the beginning of Age of Enlightenment. Civilian class became interested in the activities of scientists and philosophers. In the 18th century science even became a kind of fashion, in the sense that people gathered to see the wonders of nature demonstrated through experimental performance. Applications of this knowledge in the Industrial Revolution leads to progress in navigation and warfare that allowed Britain (and Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands) to colonize the rest of the known world. This transition was essentially the change from manual production to machinery which led to increased chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, enabled by the increasing use of steam power as an energy source produced by the burning of coal. Modern Science After the Industrial Revolution The number of influential scientists and inventors during the 19th century is too large to mention. Yet, here are the few who made outstanding contributions to the progress of science. In biology, Darwin in his treatise On the Origin of Species, published in 1859 became the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life. In physics, Maxwell (electromagnetic Filed), Boltzmann (Statistical Mechanics), Planck (Quantum Physics), Kelvin (Absolute temperature), van der Waals (Intermolecular Forces), Fourier (Greenhouse effect), and, 18 Science, Technology, and Society in other disciplines, Pasteur (Pasteurization) and Curie (X-rays). The beginning of the 20th century was marked by Einstein’s theory of relativity (1905). The first half of the century saw many other physicists celebrated for breakthroughs in physics. In the year 1953 Crick and Watson describe the structure of DNA, the carrier of genetic information. The second half of the 20th century continued to make great progress in physics, chemistry, biology, geology and astronomy. The development of the transistor (by William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain) led to great advances in information technology. In nuclear physics the discovery of sub-atomic particles provided a great leap forward. In biology, the deciphering of the genetic code and the regulatory mechanisms in living cells paved the way for “genetic engineering. In astronomy, the borders of the universe came into the picture through the discovery of black holes and dark matter. PARADIGM SHIFT The renaissance and enlightenment age shows the scientific revolutions in Europe. An era of scientific discoveries and shift from one theory to another. Different sciences undergo “revolutions” when scientists gather enough data that they can’t explain using their current paradigm. A paradigm shift happens when the known valid science or normal science of that time was collecting observe anomalies. If this collected anomalies continues to increase it forms a crisis that requires a scientific revolution or new paradigm. When Aristotle thought that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when dropped at the same time at the same height it becomes a normal science or paradigm for years until many people are experiencing events that does not satisfy Aristotle’s theory. So, when Galileo added another anomaly by proving that massive and less massive objects reached the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height, the current paradigm shifted to Galileo’s theory and created a paradigm shift. Enhancement Activity CRISIS OF SHIFT Aside from the story of Galileo and Aristotle, identify one 19 Science, Technology, and Society paradigm shift in science in the course of World History. Describe the crisis of shift from old normal science to new normal science. Upload your output to the created LMS for the Course. Generalization 1.

Spain and the United States, being former religious beliefs colonizers, played an important role in building the foundation of science in the country Hazard Alerts: Stone Ages in the Philippines None Archaeological findings indicate that around 50,000 years ago, modern men or Homo sapiens from the Asian mainland first came over land and across narrow channels to live in Palawan and Batangas. For about 40,000 years, they made simple tools or weapons of stone flakes, but eventually developed techniques for sawing, drilling and polishing hand stones. This very long period, considered as the Philippine Stone Age, was when the Tabon Man (c. 67,000 BC) and the Callao Man (c. 24,000-22,000 BCE) were supposed to have lived. The Austronesians around 5,000-2,000 BC, ancestors of most present- day Filipinos, arrived in the islands. It is still unsure as to their exact direction of movement to what is today the Philippines, and but southern Mainland China is considered as their most plausible point of origin. These ancestors not only brought most languages spoken by Filipinos today; they were also said to have brought more sophisticated and organized agricultural technologies and methods. This is where rice cultivation also flourished with the 2,000-year-old Banaue Rice Terraces of the Ifugao people as prominent evidence. Bronze and Iron Ages in the Philippines There is no distinct Bronze Age in the Philippines, and that copper was found to have been used for adornments such as earrings whilst stone remained more common for tools. As early as 3,000 BC people were producing a range of materials from adzes to seashell ornaments to pottery of various designs. The manufacture of pottery subsequently became well developed and flourished for about 2,000 years until it came into competition with imported Chinese ceramics. Fermentation in food processing could have been present earlier than this period. Various types of alcohol were produced from coconuts (tuba, lambanog, bahalina) and rice (pangasi). This method was later adopted to sugarcane (basi) when Arab traders presumably brought the crop to Mindanao 35 Science, Technology, and Society and then spread northwards. A lantaka which is used as a cannon in the Philippines similarly assuming that specific Iron Age in the Philippines is still a matter of debate. Usage and small- scale production of iron, however, is estimated to have occurred around 500 to 200 BCE as iron manufacturing overlapped with the arrival of limited bronze manufacturing. People during this age engaged in the actual iron extraction, smelting and refining. Crude metalwork processes were already adopted through the hardening of metal through heat-induced carbon absorption or carburization. Most materials found were imported, which shows the existence of an extensive trading network across Southeast Asia, China and the Indian subcontinent as early as this period. By 1st century CE, cotton cultivation, textiles, mining, and jewelry making were already practiced. This period saw the appearance of various clay and copper-based materials produced by the Sa Huynh Culture which existed around 1000 BCE to 200 CE. Found to be concentrated in southern Vietnam, this society is presumed to have had presence around Central Philippines, and possibly all the way to Mindanao. Some notable archeological findings from this time are the Sa Huyun-Kalanay Pottery Complex of Masbate (c. 400 BCE-1500 CE), and the Manunggul Jar of Palawan (c. 890-710 BCE), which is depicted in the old design of the ₱1,000 bill. As descendants of seafaring people who subsequently settled near the sea, social structures in ancient Philippines were also tied to seafaring. An example would be ancient barangay societies, which would later expand as flourishing, powerful localities trading with nearby states and territories up until the 16th century. These social organizations were derived from the concept of the balangay, ancient boats used by their predecessors to travel across the Philippines and nearby islands. The oldest to be discovered is called the Butuan Boat One presumed to be used around 300 CE. The Austronesians were also the ancestors of Polynesians whose boat- building and navigation prowess were unmatched anywhere in the world even by mercantile powers of ancient Mediterranean. Only until the European Age of Exploration that such skills are said to have been surpassed by the emergence of more modern naval technologies. In ancient Philippines sophisticated boat- 36 Science, Technology, and Society building techniques such that for the balangay were passed onto generations. Other seafaring technologies were present. Small boats which can still be found today are the paraw which is common in the Visayas, and the vinta or lepa-lepa found across the Sulu Archipelago, the Zamboanga peninsula, and some parts of Southern Mindanao. There is also the karakoa, or large outrigger ships used for both trade and warfare mostly in the Visayas. The lanong is a variant within the Sulu area. These larger vessels were said to be attached with at least one bronze cannon called a lantaka. Today this cannon technology has evolved into the typical bamboo cannons used as noisemakers during fiestas and New Year’s Eve. Given the presence of iron as a valuable resource, sociopolitical institutions should have developed like anywhere else. And like any complex society, medicine was central to preserving the health of people. At this point there existed knowledge and methods dealing with medicinal and therapeutic properties of plants such as herbs. This early form of medicine or pananambal is associated with ancient systems of Animist beliefs characterized by the anito, which comprise of various nature spirits, diwatas, and ancestors. In line with religion, early societies’ agricultural activities were presumed to have been guided by a Hindu-Buddhist influenced lunar calendar. Developments in language are also signs of both sociopolitical and technological advancements. Among the oldest writing systems (Baybayin) found in the Philippines with variations from Pampanga down to the Visayas. This is presumed to have evolved from the Kawi Script originally developed somewhere in Java, Indonesia, and spread all over what are now Malaysia and the Philippines. Its most renowned evidence in the Philippines is the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, dated around 900 CE, which is an Old Malay writing mixed with either Old Javanese or Old Tagalog. Kawi itself evolved from an older writing system originating in Southern India. Many Baybayin writings did not survive since most were carved on leaves and bamboo, except for a very few when the Spaniards brought the printing press to the islands. Spanish Colonization The beginnings of modern science and technology in the 37 Science, Technology, and Society Philippines can be traced to the Spanish Regime. The Spaniards established schools, hospitals and started scientific research and these had important consequences to the rise of the county’s profession The Filipino disinterest in science could be traced to the Spanish colonial period. While the Spaniards practiced some aspects of science (e.g. agriculture, botany, medicine, meteorology), Filipinos rarely had the opportunity to develop a serious competence to these, due to racism and wealth inequality within the colonies. Moreover, certain aspects of scholarship such as ethnography, humanities, and theology, were comparatively developed yet science and technology were generally neglected. This imbalance reflected their poor state of science in the motherland itself. Toward the end of the Spanish period (1850-1896, a very small group of Filipinos particularly men who are wealthy and landed (ilustrados) or exceptionally talented were eventually allowed to engage in advanced studies in local schools or abroad. Access to adequate training, though, was limited to the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest university in Asia. Like their colonizers, these Filipinos generally preferred humanistic Ilustrados training over and above technical expertise. This preference to understand the human condition more than nature has continued to this day. Rizal, however, criticized this lack of interest in natural science on the part of Spanish colonial officials when he was a medical student at said university in the 1880’s. Formal education in science and technology was introduced by the Spaniards through scientific institutions. At the beginning, parish schools were opened to teach religion, reading, writing, mathematics, and music. The people were taught sanitation and improved methods of agriculture. Later, higher institutions of learning were established among which were: Colegio de Cebu (1597), now the University of San Carlos Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Rosario (1611), now the University of Santo Tomas Colegio de San Juan de Letran (1706) Ateneo Municipal de Manila (1859) Escuela Nautica (1820) Manila School of Agriculture (1887) In these institutions, science subjects like astronomy, physics, chemistry, natural history, and mathematics were 38 Science, Technology, and Society taught as parts of the curriculum for college programs being offered. An important institution established during this time was the Observatorio Meteorológico or the Manila Observatory (1865) at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila. It helped in studying typhoons and climatology within the colony and across Asia. The Spanish government then made the observatory the official weather forecasting and time keeping institution for the colony in 1884 and 1885, respectively. This institute issued the first typhoon warnings in Philippine history, at the advantage of merchant shipping. In the latter part of the Spanish period, major health institutions were established. Among these were the San Lazaro Hospital (1578), the oldest in East Asia, the Hospital de Los Baños (1590), and the Hospital de Cebu (1850). The University of Santo Tomas started offering programs in medicine and pharmacy in 1872. Later in 1877, the Laboratorio Municipal, which was later to become the Bureau of Science, was established to undertake the pathological studies of infectious diseases. There were also private pharmaceutical firms engaged in this activity such as the Botica Boie, and the Botica de Santa Cruz. In terms of transportation, the most important development brought by the Spaniards is the Philippine National Railway (PNR) through a royal order from Spain in June 1875. The wood-burning steam locomotive ran through the first line from Tutuban in Manila to Dagupan and San Fernando, La Union. Its first operation was in November 1892 and was concessioned by the British. But before the PNR, there was the tranvia owned by the Compania de las Tranvias de Manila of 1888 consisting of German-made light electric locomotives which ran from Manila to Malabon. This can be considered as the distant predecessor of Metro Manila’s LRT and MRT. In communications, the telegraph was introduced in the Philippines in 1876 with the first line between Manila and Corregidor. The first foreign- owned overseas submarine telegraph cable was put up in 1881. It linked Bolinao in Pangasinan and Hong Kong, then a British crown colony. Manila was also linked to Iloilo, Cebu and Bacolod. At the height of the Philippine Revolution, there were 65 telegraph stations operating in the islands (49 in Luzon, 16 in the Visayas). American Colonization and World War II 39 Science, Technology, and Society The Americans have more influence in the development of science and technology in the Philippines compared to the Spaniards. They established the public education system, improved engineering works, and public health facilities. They established a modern research university, the University of the Philippines, and created more public hospitals more than the former colonizer. Transportation and communication systems were improved, though still not accessible throughout the country. The Americans did everything to Americanize the Philippines. They reorganized the learning of science and introduced it in both private and public schools. In basic education, science education focuses on nature studies and science and sanitation, until it became a single, formal subject area. The teaching of science in higher education has also greatly improved and modernized. Publication of scientific journals and organization of scientific societies were brought. Among these local scientific publications focused on agriculture and plant industries, water resources, pharmaceuticals, and general natural and applied sciences. Some of the first scientific societies in the Philippines were: Manila Medical Society (1901) Philippine Islands Medical Association (1908) Philippine Scientific Society (1923) Society for the Advancement of Research (1928) Philippine Society of Parasitologists (1930) Philippine Public Health Association (1932) Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (1933) The Americans likewise continued science development from the Spanish regime. Government departments, bureaus, and boards were established to help the new colonial administration, and among these were the Bureau of Agriculture and the Board of Health, which later became the Bureau of Health. American efforts at the beginning were geared towards the promotion of public health. In 1901, the Philippine Commission created the Bureau of Government Laboratories under the Department of Interior. This bureau was established for the study of tropical diseases and laboratory projects effectively replacing the Laboratorio Municipal. New developments in transportation and communications were also brought during the American period. Other than acquiring ownership of PNR and extending its railroad lines, the Commonwealth government also built other steam locomotive railways in other parts of the country. These are the Panay Railway, which ran from Iloilo City 40 Science, Technology, and Society to the town of Capiz (now Roxas City), and the Cebu Railway, which ran from Danao through Cebu City until Argao. A shorter line was built in Negros, but this primarily served sugar plantations and mills, not commuters. The first automobile in the Philippines arrived in Manila in 1900. By 1916 the ordinary car became a common feature of traffic. As per aviation, the first airplane to land in the Philippines is the Avierto Gallarsa in 1924. However, locally-owned commercial air travel only became possible by 1941. This was when Philippine Air Lines (now ‘Airlines’), the first Asian commercial aviation company, was incorporated for domestic and international flights. The Americans expanded the telegraph and telephone capacity, and became available to the Filipino public with the establishment of the Bureau of Post. Before World War II, they were able to operate 108 radio stations and 495 telegraph offices interconnected by 14,607 kilometers of wires and 328 nautical miles of submarine cables throughout the archipelago. In 1922, the first radio broadcasts took place in Manila and Pasay. The radio stations were initially owned by Americans but were soon purchased by Filipino businessmen who extended their media investments from newspapers to radio, and later to television. The radio quickly became a staple so that even before World War II, news programs were regularly broadcast. After the war, the number of radio stations increased rapidly and broadcasts soon became available throughout the country. The radio became the main source of entertainment and news for millions of Filipinos until the 1970’s when it was supplemented by the television. ISSUES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES Since the aftermath of World War II and independence, the Philippines had struggled to maintain and expand its science and technology capacity. Institutions and possibly many physical documents of scientific and technological knowledge were turned to ashes; many lives were destroyed. While reparation funds from Japan were meant for rebuilding much were focused on basic infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and transportation systems. Resources are limited in improving science. The Philippine government has explored the use of Overseas Development Allocations (ODA) from different countries to help in improving its scientific productivity and technological capability. Human resource development is 41 Science, Technology, and Society at the heart of these efforts focusing on producing more engineers, scientists, technologists, doctors, and other professionals. However, these are not enough for the Philippines to provide quality science education to the population, and much more catch up with developed nations in terms of capacity and innovation. The brief account of the acceptance of modern technology in the Philippines indicates its ready absorption into national and local life. With the arrival of the steamboat in 1849, the telegraph in 1876, the railway in 1888, the telephone in 1890, the automobile in 1900, and the electric tranvia in 1905, the launching of modern communications and transportation technologies in the country became apparent. Most of these technologies were only recently invented in the West, but their effects were quickly felt in the societies that accepted them. Japan was among the most quickly transformed by these technologies, and were able to fully harness them amidst their rapid industrialization after the World War II. At a much recent period, South Korea was able to accomplish this through their phenomenal economic development in the 80’s up to the 90’s. They made this possible by integrating internet technologies. These two countries have not only taken advantage of scientific and technological developments, but in some cases became leaders and pioneer themselves. Unfortunately, the Philippines failed to take advantage of these opportunities as most of their benefits were confined to the national capital region, and were unable to stimulate the development of the overall economy. In effect, they often confirmed, widened, or solidified social divisions between rich and poor, urban and rural. The aforementioned technologies as they evolved in the contemporary period in the form of smartphones and tablets, overseas travel, car ownership, or affording car services like Grab, became hallmarks of privilege rather than necessities of modern living. INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM Indigenous knowledge is embedded in the daily life experiences of young children as they grow up. They live and grow in a society where the members of the community prominently practice indigenous knowledge in their minds. The lessons they learned are intimately interwoven with their culture and the environment. These lessons comprised of good values and life stories of 42 Science, Technology, and Society people on their daily life struggles. Their views about nature and their reflections on their experiences in daily life are evident in their stories, poems, and songs. Some examples of indigenous knowledge that are taught and practiced by the indigenous people are: Predicting weather conditions and seasons using knowledge in observing animals’ behavior and celestial bodies; Using herbal medicine; Preserving foods; Classifying plants and animals into families and groups based on cultural properties; Preserving and selecting good seeds for planting; Using indigenous technology in daily lives; Building local irrigation systems; Classifying different types of soil for planting based on cultural properties; Producing wines and juices from tropical fruits; and Keeping the custom of growing plants and vegetables in the yard. INDIGENOUS SCIENCE Indigenous science is part of the indigenous knowledge system practiced by different groups of people and early civilizations (Gribbin, 2001; Mkapa, 2004; Sibisi, 2004). It includes complex arrays of knowledge, expertise, practices, ad representations that guide human societies in their enumerable interactions with the natural milieu: agriculture, medicine, naming and explaining natural phenomena, and strategies for coping with changing environments (Pawilen, 2005). Ogawa (1995) claimed that it is collectively lived in and experienced by the people of a given culture. According to Cajete (2004), indigenous science includes everything, from metaphysics to philosophy and various practical technologies practiced by indigenous peoples both past and present. Iaccarino (2003) elaborated his ideas by explaining that science is a part of culture, and how science is done largely depends on the cultural practices of the people. Indigenous beliefs also develop desirable values that are relevant or consistent to scientific attitudes as identified 43 Science, Technology, and Society by Johnston (2009), namely: (1) motivating attitudes; (2) cooperating attitudes; (3) practical attitudes; and (4) reflective attitudes. These cultural beliefs therefore can be good foundation for developing positive values toward learning and doing science and in bringing science in a personal level. Pawilen (2005) explained that indigenous science knowledge has developed diverse structures and contents through the interplay between the society and the environment. According to Kuhn (1962), developmental stages of most sciences are characterized by continual competition between a number of distinct views of nature, each partially derived from, and all roughly compatible with the dictates of scientific observation and method. Sibisi (2004) also pointed out that indigenous science provides the basics of astronomy, pharmacology, food technology, or metallurgy, which were derived from traditional knowledge and practices. Pawilen (2006) developed a simple framework for understanding indigenous science. Accordingly, indigenous science is composed of traditional knowledge which uses science process skills and guided by community values and culture. 1. Indigenous science uses science process skills such as observing, comparing, classifying, measuring, problem solving, inferring, communicating, and predicting. 2. Indigenous science is guided by culture and community values such as the following: The land is a source of life. It is a precious gift from the creator. The Earth is revered as “Mother Earth”. It is the origin of their identity as people. All living and non-living things are interconnected and interdependent with each other. Human beings are stewards or trustee of the land and other resources. They have a responsibility to preserve it. Nature is a friend to human beings - it needs respect and proper care. 3. Indigenous science is composed of traditional knowledge practiced and valued by people and communities such as ethno-biology, ethno- 44 Science, Technology, and Society medicine, indigenous farming methods and folk astronomy. Indigenous science is important in the development of science and technology in the Philippines. Like the ancient civilizations, indigenous science gave birth to the development of science and technology as a field and as a discipline. Indigenous science helped the people in understanding the natural environment and in coping with everyday life. UNESCO’s Declaration on Science and the Use of Scientific Knowledge (1999) recognized indigenous science as a historical and valuable contribution to science and technology. PHILIPPINE INVENTIONS SALAMANDER AMPHIBIOUS TRICYCLE Filipinos have gotten accustomed to converting transportation vehicles into something more useful. Adding a sidecar to a vehicle, converting it into a tricycle with more people to handle, is an example of conversion of American military jeeps used in World War II to jeepneys. During the rainy season, flooding is a common occurrence in many regions of the world. The streets are quite difficult for tricycles to navigate. Victor Llave and his colleagues at H2O Technologies were able to solve the problem by developing the Salamander, as well as rivers and lakes. This may also be used to go from island to island because the Philippines an archipelago, the Salamander is a practical invention. SALT LAMP Electrification is one of the Philippines' most pressing demands as a growing country. Different sorts of machines, including light sources, are powered by electricity. When it becomes dark, many activities in rural regions throughout the world will come to a halt. Traveling gets riskier as well. Fortunately, Aisa Mijeno, a young scientist from the Philippines, was able to create a lighting system that made use of a plentiful resource in the Philippines: seawater. She was the creator of the Sustainable Alternative Lighting (SALt) lamp, a working, ecologically acceptable light source that does not produce hazardous gases. Apart from people living in a coastal area, it can also benefit people who live in remote regions since they may manufacture their own saltwater by mixing 45 Science, Technology, and Society two teaspoons of salt with a glass of tap water. MEDICAL INCUBATOR In the Philippines, high infant mortality rates are a serious problem. One reason for this difficulty in the twentieth century was a shortage of incubators owing to a lack of resources and energy, especially in rural regions. Dr. Fe del Mundo, a physician from the Philippines and the first Asian woman admitted to Harvard Medical School, created an electric-free medical incubator using locally available materials. Dr. del Mundo constructed the incubator by encasing a local laundry basket within a bigger one. Hot water bottles were put between baskets and an improvised hood to allow ventilation and enable oxygen circulation. Its major goal was to keep a newborn, usually a premature infant, under safe conditions. MOSQUITO OVICIDAL/ ARVICIDAL TRAP SYSTEM The Mosquito Ovicidal / Larvicidal Trap System, commonly known as OL Trap, was introduced in 2010 by the Institute for Development of Science and Technology- Industrial Technology (DOSTI-ITDI) is a mosquito trap is made out of naturally occurring components that are lethal to mosquitos yet harmless for humans and the environment. E-JEEPNEY The Jeepney ruled the streets of the Philippines and is known as the primary form of transportation for most Filipinos. Nevertheless, the diesel-powered jeepney emits huge amounts of black smoke, and due to its rudimentary exhaust system is typically a major contributor to noise pollution. The electric Jeepney (ejeepney) was developed to combat these disadvantages. This new method of transportation uses ERYTHROMYCIN Perhaps one of the most important medical inventions is the Erythromycin. The Ilonggo scientist Abelardo Aguilar invented this antibiotic out of a strain of bacterium called Streptomyces erythreus, from which this drug derived its name. As with the case of several other local scientists, however, Aguilar was not credited for this discovery by 46 Science, Technology, and Society Eli Lilli Co., Aguilar’s US employer, to whom he sent the strain for separation. The US company eventually owned the merits for this discovery. BANANA KETCHUP Filipino food technologist, Maria Orosa, is credited for the invention of banana ketchup, a variety of ketchup different ketchup. Her invention appeals particularly to Filipinos who love using condiments to go along with their food. Historical accounts posit that Orosa invented the banana ketchup at the backdrop of World War ll when there was a huge shortage of tomatoes. As a result, Orosa developed a variety of ketchup that made use of mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices, which were all readily available. Orosa’s banana ketchup is brownish-yellow in natural color, but is dyed red to resemble the color of the most loved tomato ketchup. MOLE REMOVER In 2000, a local invention that had ability to easily remove moles and warts on the skin without the need for any surgical procedure shot to fame. Rolando dela Cruz is credited for the invention of a local mole remover that made use of extracts of cashew nuts (Annacardium occidentale), which are very common in the Philippines. The indigenous formula easily caught on for its accessibility, affordability, and painless and scarless procedure. Dela Cruz won a gold medal for this invention in the International Invention, Innovation, Industrial Design, and Technology Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
