Casimiro del Rosario

Dr. Casimiro del Rosario was honored with the Presidential Award in 1965 for his excellent works in physics, meteorology and astronomy. But he became more well-known because of his workings on soft x-rays.

Aside from researching and experimentation, Dr. del Rosario led the Philippine Weather Bureau for 11 years and also the vice-chairman for the National Science Development Board.
