Its a sad day for me

[Zeus]

E turo nga sa Social Studies o Science subject dati, Filipino nga ang naka imbento ng Florescent Lamp, Lunar Rover at Armalite e...ngayon iba na?

[Alpha_One]

Nah. Ganun parin. Kahit sa college may mga electrical engineering profs pa ako na nagsasabing isang Flores ang nagimbento ng FL.

But the Flores and Armalite stories are complete hoaxes. San Juan's contribution to the Lunar Rover was blown out of proportion.

[dazedchiq]

sad naman... i actually heard about these people before and thought all of it were true. oh well... at least i know better now. thanks, anyway!

I suppose it's a big deal for others. But, whether or not there were many Pinoy inventors is not a big deal for me when it came to Pinoy pride. I've come to terms with that. To me, Pinoy pride is how I conduct myself daily, how I live my life, doing the right thing, making an impact in my own little ways.

the philippines has poured little or no amount on research and development. R&D ang susi sa kaunlaran.

dito kasi sa mga walang katuturang bagay napupunta ang pera ng bayan.

[pyeh!]

si ARMANDO MALITE din ang alam kong inventor ng Armalite:bottom:

Natawa ako dun sa Malite (Armalite) and Flores (fluorescent). Research nga ako tungkol sa traffic light. Kasi sabi nila, Pinoy din daw ang inventor nun...

I think, the TRafFiC light was invented by Teodoro Rafael Filio Cruz if I remember correctly.

Think about it. If the Dingel water car really worked, every car would be water powered by now, and as a result "the people" will have benefited directly and immensely. If the Khaos was a really good idea, every car would have it attached, and whatshisname would be rich by now. But I digress.

Or, at the very least... the Khaos outlets would still be open and the unsold stock wouldn't be sitting on the shelves of "Blade" gathering dust... :hysterical:

I guess it's just desperation that people cling to whatever, whoever as a source of pride and accomplishment.

Personally.. who gives a flying ****? What matters is what you do in your own life. Because even if a Filipino had invented the light bulb, you personally didn't do it.

Thus, it's a point of pride for us pinoys to stop passing around these stupid stories and to actually make new stories of our own. Errh... not to make them up... but to accomplish something, anything, that you can be proud of.

Like Salen-Ga.

kaya pala walang sumusunod na pinoy sa mga trafic lights

[badsekktor]

It makes me laugh everytime i hear that armando malite name! i really though it was just an ROTC joke!

anyway, i have watched an episode of futurecars and there is a guy who have invented an engine running on compressed air. i just dont know if it is true, pero hindi pilipino yun guy.

[uls]

i understand the Pinoy Pride thing and all...

Everest climbers, pinoy chef in the White House, Manny Pacquiao, Efren Bata&Co., international dance contest winners, debate winners, movie/acting awards, etc etc...

Achievements of individual pinoys do make us proud, but overall, it has very little effect on the population at large. Pop culture phenomena lang yan...

It has to take a large number of pinoys achieving something collectively to have any effect. Like the combined economic output of 8 million OFWs.

Here it is with regards to Eduardo San Juan..

Eduardo San Juan - Filipino Inventor: Mechanical engineer, Eduardo San Juan (aka The Space Junkman) worked on the team that invented the Lunar Rover or Moon Buggy. Eduardo San Juan is considered the primary designer of the Lunar Rover. San Juan was also the designer for the Articulated Wheel System. Prior, to the Apollo Program, Eduardo San Juan worked on the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). (yahoo search)

I should be proud not sad - 'coz he's a fellow Mapuan!!!
