MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO), software leader Sybase and digital media company PressSmart rolled out the implementation of the “e-textbook/Personal Learning Device (PEARL) project” at the La Salle Greenhills (LSGH) yesterday.

Five new outstanding individuals recently joined PhilDev’s Board of Trustees. They are: Rigoberto Advincula, Professor at the University of Houston, Texas; Jones Castro, Executive Vice President at Wells Fargo Global Financial Institutions; Ed Chua, President of Pilipinas Shell; Danilo Lopez, Principal at Novelle LLC, and Art Tan, President and CEO of Integrated Microelectronics Inc. With their knowledge and expertise, PhilDev will surely become one step closer to achieving its dream of improving science and technology in the country.

From the outside, everything about Diosdado Banatao seems average: he wears no expensive designer suits, nor carry fancy, top-of-the-line gadgets. But to anyone with even a fraction of knowledge of Silicon Valley and computer technology history, nothing about Dado, who also considers himself with “just average” intelligence, is truly average. He, after all, pioneered the very first PC chip set when there was not yet a PC industry and he created the graphics acceleration technology that made Microsoft Windows a viable operating system. Dado has helped propel the computer industry into a global phenomenon.

2010 was a year of partnerships – establishing new contacts and reviving the old ones. We sought to revive the energy and volunteer enthusiasm of the good old days when our Brain Gain Network (BGN) was just starting out  in the early 90’s. This past year, very interesting seminars were organized for visiting scientists, technologists and engineers, mostly from American academic and R&D institutions.
