I am a graduate of MSc. International Development-Rural Development Sociology in Wageningen University. I have also a Dilpoma course in R&D Management and my bachelors degree in science is in Chemistry (Phytochemistry). I have been teaching in college since 1983 handling chemistry, research and environmental science and also have been in research since 1993. Most of my research papers that i presented in the international conferences are about butterflies, environment and related livelihoods, especially in rural Philippines. My other papers are about ethnoecology and ethnobotany. With these fields my present work is about using ferns and fungi (mushrooms) in bioremediation, which I learned from the people in the rural areas, especially in the mined-out areas.
