Dr. Gregorio Ynciong Zara, the dashing and brilliant scientist from Lipa. He was born on March 8, 1902, to Brigido Zara y Punsalan and Severina Ynciong y de Torres of Barrio Tambo, Lipa, Batangas. After graduating at the top of his class, Zara received a scholarship grant to study mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1923. He then took up graduate studies in aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan and in physics at the University of Paris. His most significant contribution to science and technology was his invention in 1955 of the "photo phone signal separator network" which enabled two people to see each other while conversing on the phone. In honor of his manifold labors in the field of science, Zara was conferred the National Scientist Award in 1978. After a few months of receiving it, he died on October 15, 1978. The government gave him a state funeral before being interred at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
