Dear John,

   The Bronx section of Thursday’s NY Daily News has a piece about an Assistant Professor James Abulencia and a Grad Student at Manhattan, Shannon O’Brien, designing a biodegradable water purification solution for a Town in the Philippines.

   I have a copy if you need it.

James Abulencia (photo) assistant professor of chemical engineering at Manhattan College, is testing a sustainable technology to bring clean water to rural communities in his native Philippines.

Last week, with the help of a research team from De La Salle University in Manila and Shannon O’Brien, a chemical engineering graduate student at Manhattan College, Abulencia presented his findings at the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington.

Abulencia and his team received a year of funding last August from the EPA to begin designing the biodegradable water purification solution for the town of Nagcarian, Philippines.”
