Angel Alcala is a Filipino biologist who is renowned for his invention of artificial coral reefs around Southeast Asia. He is responsible for assisting in the recovery and conservation of the aquatic areas in the Philippines that have dominated by fisheries. His Wikipedia article is relatively short and doesn’t really elaborate on his accomplishments in conservation biology. It did mention his discovery of almost fifty reptiles and amphibians in the Philippines. The article briefly summarizes his educational background, and it doesn’t even reverence his doctorate despite vaguely mentioning his Ph.D. His page was last edited on September 10, 2018.

Hi Jrfeldma! Unfortunately the creators of Wikipedia pages like this are often limited by the sources they have on hand. I, too, am bothered by how poorly documented Filipino Scientists are on Wikipedia. But there are too few of us, and even few of us with access to sources. Your help in expanding this and other similar pages would certainly be welcome. Feel free to expand the page using any citations you might have. :D (I don't have any, sadly.) - Alternativity (talk) 07:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
