| 1992 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Public Service - Angel C. Alcala (9370 words) |
| Alcala recorded the rising population of fish that colonized the faux-reefs and noted that only four to five months were needed to create a harvestable crop, as long as harvesting was kept at a sustainable 3 to 5 percent level. |
| Alcala’s early studies in herpetology had permitted him, professionally speaking, to dwell peacefully in the realm of pure science and to remain largely undistracted by the economic and social forces at work in the larger society. |
| From the moment Alcala began surveying the Philippine reefs in the early 1970s, he was confronted with brutal acts of ecological destruction, which had their roots in social and political forces that violated the serene world of pure research, just as they violated the reefs themselves. |
