A physicist-researcher-educator couple from Jagna, Bohol was conferred the 3rd Gawad Haydee Yorac. Dr. Christopher C. Bernido and Dr. Ma. Victoria Carpio Bernido, president and principal respectively, of the Research Center for Theoretical Physics in Bohol were named awardees.
Their goal to build a nation through science, research, and a new method of teaching founded on excellence and values won the judges’ approval over nominations received from different parts of the country.
Awarding rites were held March 4, 2009 at the Meralco Theatre.
In the early 1990s, the couple, then UP Physics professors at the UP National Institute of Physics in Diliman, uprooted themselves from the campus and moved to Jagna, described as a seaside fourth-class municipality a little over one hour away from Tagbilaran, Bohol.
There they established the Central Visayan Institute Foundation (CVIF), the home of the Dynamic Learning Program. CVIF has a research center in physics, the Research Center for Theoretical Physics; a high school department that strengthens the science focus of its students; and the Education Research Center for continuing development of the learning program.

Tarsier Shirt
Photo: KalyeShirts
I found this T-shirt on the internet while doing a Google search for ‘Bohol shirts.’ This will be the type of T-shirt I will wear on our trip home to Bohol next year... when I find a sponsor (for our trip)! The design is simple and unique from all the ubiquitous souvenir T-shirts you find in Bohol in great abundance. Don’t get me wrong, I, too, buy these kind of T-shirts; in fact, I buy them for my kids, too.
However, if you want to stand out, this is the right T-shirt for you. It’s good value for money, too. If you want to get hold of this shirt made by KalyeShirts, click on RedBubble. I should get myself one now before they ran out of stock.
