Multi-awarded Filipino scientist Glenn Suerte Banaguas was the first Filipino to gain a fellowship under the Royal Society of Arts in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Glenn Banaguas is a Filipino expert when it comes to the fields of environment, disaster risks, and climate change. With his expertise, he was able to receive well-known recognitions, such as the United Nations Sasakawa Laureate for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2022.<\/p>\n
Recently, with his outstanding hard work on environmental issues, Banaguas was hailed as the first Filipino national to be a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.<\/p>\n
The Royal Society of Arts, or RSA, is an organization in London that aims to provide different practical solutions to social challenges across the world.<\/p>\n
The fellowship for this prestigious organization was given to individuals who present the RSA values of developing and improving platforms to engage ideas for common societal dilemmas.<\/p>\n
Some of the known members of the RSA are Stephen Hawking and Charles Dickens.<\/p>\n
Celebrating Banaguas\u2019 success, President Marcos Jr. extended his recognition of the scientist\u2019s achievement.<\/p>\n
\u201cTunay ngang ang galing at talino ng mga Pilipino ay maipagmamalaki saan man sa mundo. Maraming salamat sa kahusayang iyong patuloy na ipinamamalas.\u201d the President said in his Facebook page.<\/p>\n
With this recent achievement, the scientist expressed his gratitude not only to the country\u2019s support but also to RSA and looked forward to his future contributions to society as a fellow of the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to be able to contribute even just a fraction of what they have given to the world. I pray that this recognition will bring an atmosphere of positivity and create a compassion among nations,\u201d Banaguas said.<\/p>\n
