retro.news: RP's best school of physics

Well, since this is a physics blog, i have to post something physics-cal. Hehe. I came across a 2006 article from DOST that might interest you enthusiasts and/or advocates if you want to want to put your school on the map and get the title "RP's Best School of Physics". Nothing like a healthy competition eh? If you ask me, I'd like Silliman to get that title. Being the best IMHO, doesn't have to entail costly equipment [why? coz we will always be left behind], it should 1: Interest more students [whether they pursue physics or not] and increase their understanding of its purpose. 2: i'll edit this later.

To quote:

“Filipino physicists are acquiring the competence to recognize more interesting researches in the field of physics and, in fact, [they have] gained worldwide recognition through [their] publications in high-impact journals,” Dr. Saloma said in his institutional report “Physics in the Philippines Today”.

Trivia: If you glance quickly at the photo, which SU Physics teacher comes to mind?
