In fact, we should be a bit more hesitant about trumpeting our
country's being
host to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). It only
highlights
this sad fact. We went from food security to food dependency over the
last 2-3
decades. It's like a student failing an arithmetic exam even after
being
allowed to use a calculator!
We were showered with more than our fair share of blessings. Yet we
all but
squandered the wealth of the land and our gifts from God. The Jews
fought and
wandered for centuries and all they got for their trouble was a piece
of desert
land surrounded by hostile kingdoms. And yet they are far more
prosperous than
we are. Why?
Maybe we should face the following realities about ourselves:
1. We don't have the commercial acumen to turn our "inventions" and
"discoveries" into competitively marketable products and services.
Multinationals do that for us.
2. We exhibit our best traits (including our much-touted "ingenuity")
abroad.
In such cases, it therefore follows that what Filipinos accomplish,
say, in the
US, belongs to America and not the the Philippine nation. The
Philippine nation
has failed to provide the environment for Filipinos to excel.
You be the judge:

GUI (graphical user interface (GUI) possible? Without which we will
still be
limited to that green monitor that can only display text?
- 64% of Asian-Americans were netizens and 85% of Fil-Am homes have
computers?
Here'a some more from R. Balboa, what else did Filipinos invent? -

I browsed that list and laughed out loud. Maybe one in twenty of those
accomplishments had a Filipino remotely connected with it in some
obscure way, but that list (in the context it is presented) is
bullshit in its purest form. All one has to do is look at a history
book to see thatr NOTHING of real value to the world was ever invented
by a Filipino.
But that does not mean you are alone. Imagine a band all the way
around the earth's equator that extends from 20 degrees north latitude
to 20 degrees south latitude. NOTHING of real value to the world EVER
came from that region. Nothing in the sciences, nothing in medicine,
nothing in the arts, nothing in mathematics, nothng in literature,
nothing in nothing . . .
No, don't talk to me about Singapore and other places like it. Such
small places (including the proseperous regions of India) were
established at the point of a British bayonet and from that time on
things were done the British way. That's why those places prosper
today and places like the Philippines struggle in a bucket of shit.
Too bad America did not administer the Philippines the way Britain
administered its empire. You would be a lot better off today.
As a little sidebar, and because I've never seen or heard of it before
from a Filipino, the flourescent light was invented by Nicola Tesla,
the same guy who invented the coil and a million other electrical

but today's world is a far better place because of him. :^)

The coil as we see it today was invented years before Tesla, Tesla made
it work in practical application based on this design from England.
Tesla created the generator AC & DC as a workable apparatus instead of a
laboratory instrument for scientific curiosity, his greatest
contributions are in AC distribution and the mathematics involved in
high voltage area, he showed that the complex math can be simplified and
the derivations is what we use now for DC applications.
In high voltages we still have to contend with the complex side of the math.
Filipinos have contributed a lot in this modern age, yes, the
contributions are minor but it makes life fun.
None of this is important and it makes me wonder why you make a big deal
of it, pro or con it is not a big deal.

Uh Bill...our numbering system and the concept of '0' came from that
latitude. Believe the concept of zero that gave rise to our decimal
system was a Babylonian invention along with the quadratic equation
(Algebra). It was the Arabs and Hindus who derived our numbering
system (hint: Arabic numbers versus Roman numbers).
The western set of laws and morals are rooted in Judeo-Christian
beliefs which originated in that same +/- 20 degree band of the Earth.
Beyond that, the Egyptians invented writing paper and the Ethiopians
discovered coffee.
Pretty much everything you take for granted every day originated or
has roots in that band of real estate. Without it (and ancient
China's various inventions) we would probably be a boorish group of
smelly, hairy louts...oh wait, never mind. My bad.

can ask him about his "achievement" listed here.. but at least one is
apparently not, according to "pula":
http://pula.brownpau.com/?article=inventor_of_lunar_rover
---------------------
Eduardo San Juan and the Lunar Rover
The idea that Filipino inventor Eduardo San Juan "invented" the lunar rover,
is, as far as I can tell, completely spurious, and has no recorded basis in
fact. Here is the assertion made on the Pinoy inventions page at Philippine
Records...
A Filipino is being acknowledged as the inventor of the Lunar Rover, or more
popularly known as the Moon Buggy. The Moon Buggy was the car used by Neil
Armstrong and other astronauts when they first explored the moon in 1969.
Eduardo San Juan, a graduate of Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT), worked
for Lockheed Corporation and conceptualized the design of the Moon Buggy
which the Apollo astronauts used in the moon. As a NASA engineer, San Juan
reportedly used his Filipino ingenuity to build a vehicle that would run
outside the Earth's atmosphere. He constructed his model using home-made
materials.
In 1978, San Juan received one of the Ten Outstanding Men (TOM) awards in
science and technology. San Juan, however, was not listed as the inventor of
the Moon Buggy in American scientific journals. It said the vehicle was
designed and constructed by a group of scientists. In Poland, the Moon Buggy
is attributed to a Polish inventor.(RDC)
- From the Philippine Records page
Searches of the NASA web site and the Apollo lunar surface journal turn up
no leads on the name Eduardo San Juan. However, there is a detailed article
on the Engineering Aspects of the Apollo Mission, which covers the lunar
landing module, the astronauts' spacesuits, and the lunar rover.
The last major piece of Apollo hardware to be designed and flown was the
marvelous Lunar Rover, designed and built by the Boeing Company and NASA's
Marshall Spaceflight Center.
From the Apollo lunar surface journal
Plainly stated: the rover was designed and built in part by Boeing, not
Lockheed, which belies the myth that a Filipino from Lockheed designed it.
Benito Vergara, a specialist on Filipino inventions and a cornerstone of the
Philippine Science Heritage Center, has conducted a search for the
connection between Eduardo San Juan and the lunar rover.
One of the longest searches Vergara ever conducted was on the lunar rover,
an invention attributed to Eduardo San Juan. "I was in the U.S., and even
bought models and took pictures of the lunar rover for the display, and
ended up disappointed," he recalls. "We could not find any scientific
publication linking San Juan to the lunar rover. Several Filipinos from
Nasa, including a high-ranking Filipino administrator, helped us, but
nothing supported the claim."
- From the Philippine Daily Inquirer
Speaking rationally, no one person -- Filipino or otherwise -- could have
"invented" the rover, considering that it was developed by teams of experts
working together, relying on an existing body of knowledge about what would
be needed for vehicular transport on the lunar surface. To think that a
single Filipino "invented" the lunar rover, and to try and justify the myth
by claiming that credit was stolen from him or was left deliberately
unacknowledged, is, in a word, lunacy.

I've read that the concept of zero as a mathematical place-holder
seems to have been independently developed by the Hindus, Babylonians
and Maya. The Babalonians would have been in present-day Iraq, above
20 degrees North. About half of india is above 20 degrees North.
I've read that the ideas behind Hinduism probably came into India from
the Northwest with migrants from Persia and Babylon (present-day Iran
and Iraq).
The Maya inhabited Yucatan and Central America, which is below 20
degrees North. They used a base-20 number system, not the base-10
system used today for most purposes.

Didn't Judeo-Christian society arise in the area extending from
Mesopotamia (The Tigris & Euphrates river valleys in what is now Iraq)
westwards across what is now Syria, Jordan, Lebanon & Israel, and
further westwards around the shores of the eastern part of the
Mediterranean sea into Turkey and Egypt? That area is all above 20
degrees North.

All of Egypt lies above 20 degrees North.
I've read that around 800AD an Ethopian goat herder who noticed that
his goats were friskier after eating red berries of a local shrub
experimented with the berries himself and began to feel happier, but
that the first coffee trees were cultivated around 1100AD on the
Arabian Peninsula. Ethopia is below 20 degrees, about half of the
Arabian Peninsula is above 20 degrees North.

The only Atlas I have handy is dated 1986, and it's not very good
(it's a Rand McNally "Contemporary World Atlas" and well over half of
its 90 pages of maps are devoted to the US and Canada). Anyhow, just
out of curiosity I took a look at it.
20N to 20S is the area between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer.
This area includes:
In India and the Indian Ocean:
Southern India, Maldives, Sri Lanka
In Asia:
Southern Burma, all but the northern tip of Thailand, the southern 80%
of Laos, Vietnam from just below Haiphong Bay southwards, Hainan
Island, the Philippine Islands, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Papua
New Guinea
On the island of Australia:
The northern part of the states of Western Australia, Northern
Territory, and Queensland
In Oceana and Pacifica:
Soloman Islands, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Island, Society island, Tahiti,
Western Samoa, New Caladonia, Marquesas Is., Caroline Is., many other
small islands and island groups.
In the Pacific Islands:
Mariana Islands, Guam, Wake, Johnston Island, Marshall Islands, other
small islands and island groups
All of Central America, including::
Belize, Guatamala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and
Panama
On the South American continent, all or significant portions of the
following countries:
Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, French Guyana, Equador, Peru,
Brazil, Bolivia
In North America:
The southern part of Mexico from just below Guadalajara southwards,
including Mexico City, most of the island of Hawaii (the other
Hawaiian Islands lie between 20 and 23 degrees North)
In the West Indies and Carribean:
Cuba (southern edge, including US Naval Base at Guantanimo)
Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,
Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago
On the African Continent, all or significant portions of the following
countries:
Mauritania, Mali, Algeria (southern tip) Niger, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia,
Yemen, PDR of Yemen, Saudi Arabia (extreme southern portion) Somalia,
Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo,
Benin, Cameroonm Central African Republic, Equatorial Gunie, Gabon,
Congo, Zaire, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Angola, Zambiam Mozambique,
Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique.
Madagascar Island (northern half)
(I think the names of some of these countries may have changed since
my atlas was printed)
Somehow, though, I have difficulty buying into the assertion that
pretty much everything I take for granted every day originated or has
roots in that band of real estate.
I clearly have too much time on my hands today.

I lived in the Philippines for over 12 years and I agree with you. The
Filipino has done a few small things for humanity. The problem here is
that as time goes on more and more Filipinos choose to re-write
history. While I was there I heard Filipinos say that they (Joseph
Estrada?) won World War II, They invented the Jeep, They invented the
.45 caliber automtic pistol, they invented the M1 (Garand) rifle, they
invented everything. That isn't true. None of it. If it wasn't for the
US (a conglomeration of races and ethnic groups) the Filipino would be
speaking Japanese today.

You are absolutely wrong. IT IS IMPORTANT AND IT IS A BIG DEAL.
Anytime someone or some group decides to propagate a lie or to
reinforce it, the matter becomes an important, big deal. Forever I've
heard that flourescent light bullshit (along with a lot of other crap)
in the Philippines and it has become such a big deal in my mind that I
decided to comment on it this time.
But truth in your country is a very, very elusive thing, isn't it? No
where on earth was I led to more often than in the Philippines. For
gawd sake, shut down that crap about the flourescent light. It is
another blatant lie coming from the same people who fed me so many of
them over a period of 12 years.

I certainly agree . . . just like Christopher Columbus, who many Italian
claim discovered America . . . According to my history book, Christopher
Columbus discovered the shortest route to Cathay, which in book is China.
So, Filipinos, forget that damm flourescent lamp, and lets boogie under the
disco lights.

Hindi ko maubos isipin kung anong kasinungalingan ang pinagpuputok ng butse
nitong isang ito. Marahil malalim ang sugat ang nawarak sa kanyang puso sa
nagdaang labing-dalawang taon na paninirahan sa Pilipinas. Ito kaya'y
kagagawan ng isang babae? Malamang isang Pilipinang naglilo sa kanya.
