Angel C. Alcala
1992 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Public Service
When I received a call from my instructor about this essay-writing contest, the stake that was in my mind was the prizes and fame that I would be enjoying. I never expected the profound effect it would have on me. I was wonderfully energized to research on a Ramon Magsaysay Awardee until I have found this very brilliant person, who unexpectedly affected me so much that my vision of existence has changed. I was awed by this man who made a big difference on the surge of nature. He’s no other than Angel C. Alcala – a conservationist, scientist, an aquatic ecologist of natural world, and a hero in his own right.
