Investing in PH engineering talent

Dado finished high school with honors at the Ateneo de Tuguegarao. In 1966, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, cum laude, at the Mapua Institute of Innovation. He made his way to the United States, accepting a job at Boeing. In 1972, he completed a master's degree in  Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, where he defined his own course in solid state circuits and computer architecture. This course is offered at Stanford and other universities up to this day.

Many of the elements that comprise the modern personal computer originated from designs he pioneered and companies he founded, built, and later sold to larger firms like Intel.  He is credited with the development of the world's first single-chip, 16-bit microprocessor-based calculator; the first 10-Mbit Ethernet CMOS media access controller and physical layer chip; the first system logic chip set for the PC-XT and the PC-AT; the local bus concept  and the first Windows Graphics accelerator chip for PCs.

When Dado has an idea, he forms a company to build it. In the past few years he has been talking about cloud computing and other things then advanced of our age.

Speaking of people who have followed Dado's footsteps, his sons Rey and Desiare are both involved in science and innovation fields. They are encouraged by their father and mother to first pursue education, second, found a business, and when all is said and done, find their way home to help the Philippines.

The family as well supports teachers

The family as well supports teachers. Every year they grant a professor in Science and Innovation a six-month to one-year fellowship at the University of California in Berkeley.
