THere are also literally thousands of Filipino inventions which are sold to American companies so they don't get recognized. Aside from Science, Filipinos also drew several cartoong for Hanna Barbera and Marvel Comics, and are the most important animation crews of Pixar, which made A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo.

    Simlish, language of the Sims (computer game), is partially based on Tagalog, the basis of the national language of the Philippines.

    My Filipina professor ALLEGEDLY discovered one chemical element APPARENTLY named Ragacium after her, Ragasa. I don't know if this is just a campus joke, OK? So please don't rate me as negative.

    My Biology professors discovered a new species in Fuga island in Northern Philippines. It is a bird.

    A solar car has been made in one Philippine university - and is set to compete in October this year in Australia among other universities in the world.

    THe most powerful computer viruses of the 21st century have all been unleashed by Filipinos. One such example is the "I Love You virus".
