Two Filipino teachers who introduced a revolutionary way of teaching science and non-science subjects in Bohol are among 7 individuals from Bangladesh, China, Japan and Philippines who will receive the 2010 Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia's equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
An announcement from the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation website said Christopher Bernido and Ma. Victoria Carpio-Bernido are being recognized for their purposeful commitment to both science and nation, ensuring innovative, low-cost, and effective basic education even under Philippine conditions of great scarcity and daunting poverty.
