DR. LOURDES JANSUY CRUZ: SCIENTIST TO THE BARRIOS WRITTEN BY CARLO TIMBOL REPORTED BY MARY ANTOINETTE SIMON 2008-09 VOL 19 NO 1
EDITOR’S NOTE: Carlo Timbol with Mary Antoinette Simon featured an interview with one of the National Scientists of the Philippines: Dr. Lourdes Jansuy Cruz. Dr. Cruz narrated her experiences in establishing the Rural Livelihood Incubator which meant to provide livelihood for the indigenous people. This article shows that scientists and the national minorities can have a mutual relationship that benefits one another. It is a shame that the current administration continues to terrorize our national minorities such as the Lumad. The fact that national minorities value education as featured here makes a striking contrast with the efforts of the government to militarize or bomb schools.
