Gaya ng titulo, para lang ito sa mga pilipino at kung maaari ay sarili na lang nating wika ang gamitin natin dito. Sawang sawa na ako sa mga mapang-alipustang banyaga dito na nagpupumilit ipamukha sa atin na sila ang hari at tayo ay alipin at walang anumang kakayahan na maipagmamalaki!

Tayo na lang ang mag-usap dahil sa tuwing sumasawsaw sa usapan ang mga mapang-aping banyaga na ito, naliligaw ang direksyon ng usapan at nagiging SILA AT KUNG GAANO SILA KAGALING AT KATAAS AT KUNG GAANO TAYO KABABA ang nagiging paksa kaya madalas tuloy hindi na natin natatalakay ng mabuti ang mga importanteng bagay tungkol sa ating bansa! Andami na nilang ginawang kasinungalingan para lang tayo pagmukhaing sinungaling! Ni ang magpatawa dito, hindi ko na magawa dahil laging may matandang asungot na umaaligid at nag-aantay ng kaunting pagkakamali at ultimo mga BIRO ay gagawin nyang KATOTOHANAN para lang magmukha kang masama!!! GALIT AKO SA KANILA DAHIL HINDI PARA SA KANILA ANG SEKSYONG ITO PERO PILIT NILANG ISINISIKSIK ANG MGA SARILI NILA AT AYAW LUMAYAS KAHIT NA GALIT NAMAN SILA SA MGA PILIPINO!

Pakiusap, lahat ng paksa tungkol sa ating bansa, mabuti man o masama ay dito na lang natin talakayin. Kahit mga munting bagay tungkol sa ating mga sarili, dito na lang natin ibahagi upang wala nang mang-iistorbong mga gago! Maaari din nating gamitin ang mga lenggwahe nating rehiyonal dito kung medyo nagsasawa na kayo sa Tagalog katulad ng Bikolano, Ilokano, Bisaya, Ilonggo, etc.
Maraming salamat!

Magandang balita!

Isang pilipinang syentipiko ang isa sa limang nagwagi sa prestihiyosong patimpalak na 2010 L'OREAL-UNESCO "FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE AWARDS" sa katauhan ni Gng.Lourdes Jansuy Cruz, 67 at naka-base sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas- Diliman.

Si Gng. Cruz ay nakatuklas ng CONOTOXINS nuong dekada 70 hanggang 80 at ngayon naman ay natuklasan nya ang SNAIL TOXIN na libong higit na mas epektibo at mainam na alternatibo sa mapanganib na MORPHINE.

Sa aking palagay, kailangang suportahan ng ating gobyerno ang mga importanteng pagsasaliksik ng ating mga syentipiko upang maisulong ang kulturang gumagamit ng talino sa tama at kapaki-pakinabang na paraan.

Isa na namang magandang balita ang hatid ng magpipinsang sina Janice Lagman, Rani Ortega at Camille Alarilla! Ang tatlong atletang pilipina na ito ay muli na namang nagbigay ng karangalan sa ating bansa ng manalo sila at ang buong pwersa ng TEAM PILIPINAS sa patimpalak na ginanap sa Gumi, South KOrea nuong nakaraang linggo. Hinahangaan ko ang galing, determinasyon, katapangan, kagalingan at disiplina ng magpipinsang ito at binabati ko sila at team pilipinas sa kanilang tagumpay!

RP JINS HAUL 7 GOLDS IN KOREAN OPEN

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine taekwondo team hauled 7 gold medals in the 6th International Korea Open Taekwondo Championship held in Gumi, South Korea last week.

The RP squad competed in the poomsae event against 11 other teams coming from countries like Great Britain, Italy and Indonesia.

Janice Lagman won in the Ladies Individual Poomsae while her cousin Rani Ortega and JP Sapido partnered to win the Mixed Doubles.

The Philippine Men’s Team also came out triumphant.

The Philippine Team cited improvements in its performances as proven by the scores this year.

"Last year, mga 7 point-something ang nakukuha namin, pero ngayon mga 8 points," said Lagman.

The team trained in Korea before entering the tournament.

Their stint in the Korea Open is part of their preparations for the World Championships, which will take place in Uzbekistan in October.

"This year, gusto namin almost all [categories] reaching higher," said Sapido.

Korean master Jeong Taescong is overseeing the team preparations.

The team hopes that the trio of Lagman, Ortega and Camille Alarilla repeat their performances that won them the gold in the World Poomsae Championship in Egypt last year.

Anobaun, salamat naman, pero pasinsiya ka sa tagalog ko kaseh hindi ako masyado fluent nang tagalog. sa tutoo lang dito lang talaga sa Canada natuto nang magtagalog. OO naman, sana kong may mga idea tayo para sa bansa natin, dapat hindi na kailangan sa sabihin sa buong mundo. Sana naman ay magbabago na ang mga tao sa atin para maganda naman ang imgae natin. Alam mo Anobaun maraming marami talaga akong mga idea para malambo yong Pilipinas at hindi na tayo maghihirap o mag aabroad. Kail;angan lang talaga na tayong mga Pilipino ay magtulong tulongan at hindi magsisiraan.

Malamang ang karamihan ng mga pilipino dito ay hindi masyadong bihasa sa tagalog o anumang rehiyonal na lenggwahe natin.......... Mas mainam sana kung sarili lang nating wika ang ating gamitin upang maiwasang mabahiran ng negatibong enerhiya ang thread nato sa pakikialam ng mga bastos na banyaga.

Maaari namang magsulat sa Ingles subalit sa pagkakataon lamang na kailangang ihayag ang isang balita dito upang hindi na tayo mahirapan pang magsalin sa tagalog pero kapag magpapahayag na tayo ng saloobin ay kailangang wika na natin ang gamitin.......... Iwas pakialamero kumbaga...... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Elias, sa tingin ko nangyayari ang bagay na yan sa kadahilanang kulang sa suporta ng gobyerno ang mga lokal na syentipiko natin...... Kaya hindi din natin masisisi ang iba kung ibebenta nila ang kanilang ideya sa mga banyagang korporasyon dahil masasayang lang ang mga ito pag hindi napakinabangan....... Narito ang iba pang impormasyon tungkol kay Gng. Lourdes Cruz sa balitang Ingles naman galing sa pahayagang Philippine Daily Inquirer upang mas maunawaan ng ibang pinoy na hindi gaanong nakaka-intindi ng tagalog......

FILIPINA IS FIRST ASEAN WINNER OF L’OREAL-UNESCO SCIENCE AWARD :

Biochemist Lourdes Jansuy Cruz’s study on snail toxin has led to the development of non-addictive morphine
PROF. LOURDES JANSUY Cruz was sleeping soundly when the call came at midnight. After she hung up the phone, she tried to sleep again but could not.

“I got the call from the L’Oréal Foundation program secretariat in Paris. I was informed that the jury for the selection of the award just finished their deliberation and that the jury chairman wanted to talk to me. I was very happy after that talk [that I couldn’t go back to sleep],” Cruz said.

Before she was chosen as one of the five laureates for the 2010 L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science Awards, many would have described Cruz as a typical working woman. A biochemist at Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines, she split her time between teaching and laboratory work before she retired last year.

But “typical” no longer applies. Cruz, 67, is the first Filipino recipient of the L’Oréal-Unesco award and the first awardee from the Asean region.

Recognized for her role in discovering Conotoxins (toxins from marine snails) during the 1970s to the ’80s, Cruz was directly involved in isolating peptides (a chain of amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins) from the venom of Conus snails found in the Philippines.

One of these peptides was developed by the US biotechnology firm Cognetix Corp.(later bought by Elan Pharmaceuticals) to produce the non-addictive drug Prialt Ziconotodine (primary alternative to morphine).

“It’s very potent, and it does not have the side effects of morphine like drowsiness, light-headedness, euphoria, dry mouth and fatigue,” Cruz said.

Five laureates

Cruz is one of the five laureates this year, chosen from nearly 1,000 nominees all over the world, selected by a jury led by Nobel Prize winner Gunter Blobel. The awards, launched in 1998, aim to encourage scientific research among women scientists.

This year’s other four laureates are: Rashika El Ridi (Africa and the Arab States), professor at Cairo University in Egypt, for paving the way towards the development of a vaccine against the tropical disease Schistomiasis/Bilharzia; Elaine Fuchs (North America), professor at Rockefeller University in the US, for her contributions to skin biology and skin stem cells; Anne Dejean-Assémat (Europe), professor at Pasteur Institute in France, for her contributions to our understanding of leukemia and liver cancers; and Alejandra Bravo (Latin America), professor at the Institute of Molecular Microbiology of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma in Mexico, for her work on a bacterial toxin that acts as powerful insecticide.

The laureates each received $100,000 (P4.6 million) in prize money and were honored at an awards ceremony last March 4 at the Unesco headquarters in Paris. The prestigious award is given to one exceptional female scientist per continent every year. In 12 years, the program has recognized 62 laureates, 150 international fellows, 700 national fellows.

Continuation..........

Passion for science
Born to a family of scientists—her father Ramon Cruz was research director for the Philippine Sugar Institute and Canlubang Sugar Estate, and sister Teresita is a chemist—Cruz knew her passion was in the lab.
“Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to get into science. My first science course in college was really very interesting for me,” she said.
After taking up Chemistry at UP, Cruz worked as research aide at the International Rice Research Institute
in Ilocos Norte where she studied rice quality with Dr. Bienvenido Juliana.
Though she had officially retired from the academe, she stayed on to handle classes at the UP Marine Science Institute and continues to advise students on their scientific dissertations.
Cruz wants to work as long as she can, just like her father, who worked into his 80s.
Snail toxins
Cruz has written over 130 scientific papers on various topics, including rice grains, amino acids and proteins, and prawns. She is also part of a team studying harmful algal blooms in the Philippines that involve paralytic shellfish poisoning or “red tide.”
But her most famous discovery is the marine snail toxin that garnered numerous awards for Cruz and her partner in the project, Dr. Baldomero Olivera.
The scientists thought they would be done with the research in two years, expecting that the snails would yield only one or two active components—just like snake venom.
“But it turns out that the snail venom contains many, many other components that affect nerves and muscles. So the study branched off and got extended until 1985 and onwards,” she said.
Research on Conotoxins is ongoing, with collaborations among Cruz’s graduate students and foreign universities.

Continuation..........

Rural Linc

In addition to her devotion to lab work, Cruz is also committed to helping society.

In 2001, she started the Rural Livelihood Incubator (Rural Linc) with the help of volunteers and private funding. Rural Linc strives to create jobs and fight poverty and sociopolitical instability over the long term in rural Philippines.

“As a citizen of the Philippines, I am very concerned about the persistent high poverty level in rural areas, particularly among disadvantaged communities such as the indigenous tribes, women farmers and fisher folks.”

Cruz’s vision has been to use science and technology as tool to alleviate poverty among communities where scientists usually work.

Under the project, a team of scientists—from anthropologists to taxonomists—work with Aetas to develop the tribe’s history, genealogy, area maps of their ancestral domains, and studies on the medicinal plants that Aetas have been using to cure diseases (like rattan that is used for diarrhea).

“These are untapped wealth. I think one of the tricks of conservation is to try to find uses for them. For example, wild trees like bugnay (wild berry trees) and duhat (black plum) used to be chopped down for charcoal so they would die off. Now, they saw they could earn money from them,” Cruz said.

Rural Linc also teaches Aetas skills like commercial bee-keeping and makes indigenous people aware of their rights over natural resources in their area by translating the Indigenous People’s Rights Act to the Aetas’ dialect.

Determined to improve the lives of individuals in her community, Cruz plans to use the L’Oréal-UNESCO Award money to buy a piece of land to serve as new base for Rural Linc, and site for the women’s fruit processing facility that will preserve local heritage.“This project involves building a fruit processing facility run by women farmers, where the indigenous tribes can sell fruits from the orchards and forest trees.”

A woman and a scientist who never loses sight of the need to solve practical problems to improve people’s lives, Cruz is very active in addressing poverty in the Philippines:“After devoting all my time to a relatively productive scientific career, I asked myself what have I really done to help my country and my countrymen, particularly the poor communities?”

To those who want to be successful in their scientific careers, Cruz advises to learn how to get funds.“You need this for your research, so it’s a must to earn writing grants and getting your works published.”

Cruz tells the young, who have an aptitude in science, never to give up.“In addition to the salary, there are so many intangible benefits that go with it.”

Cruz tells the young, who have an aptitude in science, never to give up.“In addition to the salary, there are so many intangible benefits that go with it.”
Im surprised with your racist rants you don't suggest nose jobs, skin whitening and high platform shoes for the Aetas.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Virgo

You're feeling restless and need to introduce as much variety into your day as possible. However, you'll want this to be on your own terms, and you certainly won't like it if plans are changed without your consent or you feel you've lost control of the situation. Try to take everything in your stride, otherwise you'll end up feeling exhausted and frazzled.
