the Distinguished Service Award by the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines Incorporated. 1986- Conferred National Scientist of the Philippines by then President Corazon Aquino for his contribution in the field of chemistry. 3. DID THESE INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES SERVE THE PUBLIC GOOD? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER. He took the first steps toward building our biofuels industry and contributed in slowing down the detrimental effects of non- renewable fossil fuels to our environment. Radioisotopes were used for producing high yielding crop seeds to increase the agricultural yield and for determining the function of fertilizers in different plants. The new methods for processing of coconut, including the chemical extraction of its oils would be significant in the boom of various industries, including food and many chemical commodities-primarily, biofuels. ALFREDO SANTOS DR. ALFREDO SANTOS named as the "Father of Natural Products Research in the Philippines". BIOGRAPHY Birthdate: August 15, 1900 Birthplace: Sto.

It is a four-volume magnus opus which bi2 contained 18,577 medicinal plants of the Philippines together with their pharmacologic activities and biologic principles. 1. HOW DID THESE INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES IMPACT THE SOCIETY? >His concern with the poor spurred him to do studies on indigenous materials needed for the development of drugs, in an attempt to do away with the costly imported raw materials Drug discovery and pharmaceutical chemistry research in the Philippines was highlighted through the pioneering efforts of Dr. Santos His findings showed that certain medicinal plants can address various health problems and symptoms, such as inflammation, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, dysentery, and diarrhea. 2. HOW WERE THESE INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT? 1954- Former President Ramon Magsaysay awarded him the Distinguished Service Medal and a Diploma of Merit for his achievements in the field of chemistry of alkaloids. 1978- Dr. Santos joined the ranks of the Philippines' National Scientists under the directive of former President Ferdinand Marcos 1953 – Outstanding Pharmacist Researcher of the Philippine Pharmaceutical Association 3. DID THESE INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES SERVE THE PUBLIC GOOD? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER. D GHe made healthcare more accessible to Filipinos by developing new affordable medicines from natural sources. His research in nature-based pharmaceutical chemistry made more Filipino-centric medical innovations possible.
