Raymundo Favila

Dr. Raymundo Favila was elected as Academician in 1979. He is one of those who initiate
mathematics in the Philippines. He contributed extensively to the progression of mathematics and
the mathematics learning in the country.

Amador Muriel

Dr. Amado Muriel was recognized because of his important works and marvelous contributions to
the field of theoretical physics, in particular, his advancement of theoretical apparatus to clarify
turbulence. His new kinetic equation is valuable for discovering essential problems of non-
equilibrium statistical procedure.

Jose A. Marasigan: He is a multi-awarded professor here and abroad. He has received awards like
Young Mathematician Grant of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) to the International
Congress of Mathematicians (Finland) and the Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the
National Academy of Science and Technology. He also initiated the Program of Excellence in
Mathematics for mathematically gifted high school students in Ateneo de Manila

Marian P. Roque is a Filipina mathematician. She is the president of the Mathematical Society of
the Philippines,[1] a professor in the Institute of Mathematics of the University of the Philippines
Diliman,[2] and head of the Institute of Mathematics.[3] Her mathematical specialty is the theory
of partial differential equations.[4]

With Doina Cioranescu and Patrizia Donato she is the author of An Introduction to Second Order
Partial Differential Equations: Classical and Variational Solutions (World Scientific, 2018).

In 2016 the National Research Council of the Philippines recognized her with an Outstanding
Achiever Award.[

Mari-Jo P. Ruiz is a Filipina mathematician, currently a professor emeritus of mathematics at

Ateneo de Manila University.[1] Ruiz specializes in graph theory and operations research.

Dr. Marasigan earned his BS Mathematics degree from Ateneo de Manila University in 1962,
Diplom-Mathematic in 1067, and Dr.rer.nat (Mathematics) in 1971 both from Technische
Hochschule Daarmstadt in former West Germany. He also received fellowship from Deutcher
Akademischer Austauschdienst (1962-67, 1969-710), DAAD post doctoral fellow (March-June
1979), and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science exchange scientist at Sophia University
(1982), Tokyo Institute of Technology (1982), Osaka University (1990 and 1995), Osaka Kyoiku
University (1991), and Hirosaki University (1993). HE ALSO WENT TO Australian National
University (March-June 1984) as fellow of Australian Universities’ International Development
Program.

Dr. Marasigan has taught mathematics at AdeMu since 1962. He was also deeply involved in
faculty development program in pure and applied mathematics among teachers on AdeMu, Dela
Salle University, and University of the Philippines. He led a group that drafted Policies and
Standards for Mathematics, a joint project of Department of Education, Culture, and Sports, and
Science Education Institute of the Department of Science and Technology.
