Front Row: Physics professor, bakit pinili na magpahaba ng buhok at balbas? 

He was my professor in Physics during my college years. He has always been very professional and considerate. Thank you, Sir Madri! You are one of the professors I will always look up to. 😊

His look symbolizes a man with a lot of wisdom and knowledge. Astig sir!

I will not going to cut my beard and mustache for the sake of other’s acceptance. You’re good, I’m good, and we’re all good. That’s what matters most.

This docu puts a smile on my face. Teacher ko sya way back 2k6 when I was attending BS Chemistry back then. Super considerate na teacher. Trademark ni sir ang looks nya at eco bag :)

Prof ko dati sir Ruben, napakagaling magturo neto at mabait na prof tuturuan ka nya personally kapag nahuhuli ka sa klase

Sir Ruben became my professor in College Physics just last year. He's really good in teaching Physics lalo theoretically. And i remember pa nga, yung basis niya for teaching was just a lesson plan and lahat yun pinagtyagaan niyang sinulat. Despite na maraming judgmental na mga tao kahit nga students ng university kung makatingin kay sir akala mo sasaktan sila or what lol he's really a down to earth prof and kada makikiselfie kami sa kanya, madalas niyang sinasabi na isend sa email niya. Not pretty sure why but siguro for remembrance ganun. Walang BS Physics sa College of Science ng PUP ngayon if wala rin si sir as far as i remember isa ata siya sa nagpasimula ng kursong ito sa university namin. Kaya i salute him and happy na kahit 13 mins lang yung documentary may nalaman pa ako about him since 'di talaga siya madada about himself. Kung ano lang yung lesson for that meeting tinuturo niya lahat nang di lumalayo sa ibang topic. Thank you GMA for documenting. :)

People laughs at him without knowing that he is a master.

Inside that jeep, he isn't just the most interesting, he's also the smartest

ito yung tipong mukhang pulubi dahil sa buhok pero yung taong nang alipusta sa kanya ay walang binatbat sa pinag aralan nya at experienced sa buhay..

He is one of my professor way back '98, matipuno at matikas si sir madridejos noon, very down to earth si sir noon pa at sobrang low profile lang lagi. Pero they do not know his capabilities. Keep it up sir, I know you want to live as simple and humble as you want to be. You're a role model to everyone. God bless.

0:42 _"wala lang naisipan ko lang magpahaba ng buhok at balbas"_ *guess, we answered the question quick*

Naiyak ako dun sa ayaw syang papasukin sa mall. Filipino often judge based on looks, I'm guilty that sometimes I'm one of them. More power! Kudos sa Front Row 👏

Professor namin to sa PUP 💖 Isa siya sa founder sa program naming BS Physics 😊 Kaya niya lang naman magturo ng Physics sa tagalog, gaya ng concept ng force (para daw siyang pera na nauubos din). Henyo to sa amin :) Sobrang taas ng respeto namin kay Sir Madri 😊 We miss you sir!

Di ko siya naging guro tungkol sa physics pero tinuro nya ngayon sa akin ay Gamitin ang perang pinagtrabahuhan pambili ng masustansiyang pagkain kaysa pambili ng gamot. Salamat po Sir

Parang siya si Chairman Netero ng hunterxhunter.. Yung sobrang lakas at talino ang datingan 😀 astigin..

He is the very image of a physics professor.

Eye opener si sir. Its saddening to think na ang tindi mang-husga nang iba just because he's not your usual teacher or prof that has a clean-cut hair or wearing an obvious branded clothes. Kudos to you sir! Ang swerte nang mga estudyanteng naturuan mo.

Kulang yung labintatlong minuto kung gaano ka-"awesome" yan si sir Madri. Naging prof ko siya sa chemistry at physics sa PUP (early 2000s). Tsaka tatlong kanto lang pagitan ng bahay namin kaya noon ginagawa pa lang yung LRT sa Aurora, pa minsan minsan nakakasabay ko siya sa jeep galing ng Cubao hanggang Pureza dahil punuan na paglagpas/pagtawid ng EDSA, madalas nakasabit kami (lol). Isa siya sa mga pipiling tao na nakilala ko na di ko nakitaan ng yabang o arte sa katawan. Environmentalist pa yata siya kasi tanda ko, hindi pa uso eco bag noon, bayong gamit gamit niya pag namamalengke sa Farmers o sa Arayat market. :) Pagkaka-alam ko graduate siya sa UP na cum laude at nag-masteral ng geophysict sa Munich. Astig siya magturo sa paraan na madali mo maiintindihan yung subject tsaka approachable rin siya at hindi madamot mag-share ng nalalaman. Edited: Nagdagdag ako ng iba pang tidbits na naalala ko tungkol kay sir. :)

ganyan tlaga ang mga professor na MASTER.. may University dito sa mindanao na mga long hair na maputi din at mahahaba ang balbas.. mga Master

Just like the old scientists, they have long beard.

Nakaka inspire si Prof. Lahat pati yung healthy lifestyle nya, sabi nga nya.. "Yung ilang taon kong kinita sa trbaho kesa gastusin ko sa pambili ng gamot, sa pag kain na lang ( healthy fruits and vegetables ). Salute!

Before lagi ko nakikita si sir, sobrang sipag at humble na tao. Halimaw sa physics ang Bansag sa kanya. Applause sir:)

"Society dictates who you are." Isa sa malungkot na katotohanan, Salute you sir! Sa interview pa lang sa kanya mapapansin mong humble sya sabi pa nga nya nakapag aral ako sa Berlin ng master physics "LANG" haha he graduated from University of the Philippines diba? Ang galing ni prof. May mga prof rin kami sa RTU na matatanda na at mahabarin yun bigote pero sila yung mga professor na kakaiba , astig. Sadyang may mga tao lang talagang tumitingin sa physical. Habang pinapanood ko si sir napapaisip ako na sana all naging prof si sir HAHAHA. Hands Up kay prof. Make it blue kung nag enjoy kang panoorin yung interview ni sir ⬇️

One of the sad things here in PH, respect is based on the looks of a person. Pait!

To the world, you maybe just a teacher but to your students you are a Hero. Hats off to all the teachers/ professors/instructors. Thank you for making us what we are today.

"Nag-aral ako sa Berlin, physics, master's LANG yun" LODI

One of the best professors I have ever seen, humble, enthusiastic and always a pleasure to see. Pag nagtuturo pa siya walang libro o teacher's plan. Alam mong lahat ng pinag aralan niya ay naipapasa sayo. Salamat sir Madri!

Napakabait na teacher ni Sir Madridejos. Sa kanya ako nagpaturo ng CHEM THERMO programming assignment ko sa klase ni Dr. Llaguno (UP 2010). First time ko marinig ang salitang “i-debug” at tinuruan niya ako kung paano ang gagawin. Nakapasa ako partly na din sa tinuro niya. Maraming salamat, Sir!

Go Sir Kahit Di kita naging prof, Siya lang namn daw ang dahilan kung bakit may BS Physics pa sa PUP

"SAGWA NAMAN KUNG YUNG KINITA MO SA TRABAHO AY MAPUPUNTA LANG SA GAMOT...SA PAGKAIN NA LANG" tama ka tukayo mabuhay ka...

Advanced mag isip potik ! Galing talaga ... Naisip mo pa yong paggasto sa mga healthy na pagkain than medication for future sickness... haystt so brilliant...

feeling ko pag nakita ko si sir ma amaze ako ng sobraaaa, para kasing nakkita ako ng tao galing renaissance era haha

Isa to sa mga Legend ng PUP. One time nagtuturo siya sa isang klase niya, sakto naman na wala kaming prof. Hindi ako galing sa main campus kasi communication student ako pero napatambay talaga ako sa labas ng classroom nila sa sobrang lupit magturo ni sir. Naiinis ako pag yung ibang estudyante eh grabe makatingin kay sir at yung ibang tao sa labas nung minsan makasabay ko si sir sa commute. Sobrang qualified to si sir at mataas ang credentials. Ilang beses na rin siya nafeature sa campus paper.

Idol yung Diet ni sir. Pero tama sinabi nya. Kesa naman gastahin mo ang pinaghirapan mo sa gamot, sa pagkain nalang. Invest in real good foods.

I’d treat him as a peer. He’s fine here in the U.S. I don’t know if you guys noticed but the guy carries himself differently. You can tell he’s worldly. Also, he’s not poor. Not in the slightest bit. His shoes give him away.

if he would be my prof. i would be so proud coz i will feel like im in Hogwarts with Professor Dumbledore

YAN ANG TUNAY NA ASTIG! SIMPLE PERO ROCK! WALANG YABANG..PROFESSOR PALA, PHYSICS PA! 😊

Professor Dumbledore 👌

So inspiring ka po sir, this is what we should do to live simple, healthy and focus on important things. Wala naman pkialam ang ibang tao what you look like eh importante mabuting tao po kayo. Bless you more po. God bless

Anlupit parang nagtuturo sa inyo si Plato, Socrates, Aristotle etc .. HAHAHAH

sobrang humble ni sir -pup alumnus here

Napaka humble mo professor sa mundo marami talagang taong mapanghusga pagpalain kanang panginoon prof. Sana bigyan kanang malusog na pangangatawan at kaligayahan

Hi Ben, this is Gerry from swimming years in UP! You made everyone who really knows you from yesteryears happy to have watched you. Unknown to all, Ben was a team mate & Varsity Swimmer at the University of the Philippines back in the early 70s; a very modest and humble man. Paano ba kami maka-contact sa iyo?

Teacher is a good influencer Students after a year: 🧔🧔🧔🧔

I know him. Sa pup ako nakapagtapos, nung una ko sya makita ko sya sa loob ng campus na-astigan ako sa looks nya. ewan sakin kasi mukha tlga syang professor tignan, mala einstein ba. engineering ako pero di ko sya naging prof sa physics. one time, nabrought up sya sa physics class namin (random talk) parang niridicule sya ng isang classmate ko dahil nga sa looks nya then dami natawa, pero nagalit yung prof namin sabi samin wag namin ijudge si sir base sa looks nya, sinabi din namin ng physics prof namin na magaling nga daw syang prof ng physics (tingin ko dati math prof sya haha), sinabi din samin mga credentials nya at idol daw sya ng prof namin. Ayun lalo lang ako na-astigan sa kanya, biruin nyo idol pa sya ng kapwa nya physics prof :)

I really want to see this man wearing suit and tie.

swerte ng naturuan at matuturuan ni prof..halatang magaling,.at pilipinong pilipino pag magturo..

Breaking stereotypes- he was and is obviously very much loved by students

Goals! He looks great for his age and he lives healthy life! LOOK AT THE FOOD HE'S EATING! We should all strive to be like him.

Long hair length have always been associated with the greatest thinkers. Dmitri Mendeleyev, Albert Einstein, Socrates and even Sir Antoine Lavoisier are just some of the few legendary men of science to have ever lived in human history.

“Eat Healthy Foods as your Medicine” than taking your Medicine as your Food...!!!🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

This presents us that dont judge a book by its cover always value what it is in the inside rather than the outside, i would be honor if i would be given a chance to be one of ur students, Proud ako sayu sir! Kudos,

' dont judge a man based on his/her appearance" salute to ypu sir, an inspiration indeed..

that "sagwa naman kung yung kinikita mo e sa gamot lng napupunta, edi sa pag kain nlng". wise man.

Ang healthy parin ni Chairman Netero Kidding aside ang astig niya, that "Masters lang yun". Idol

While watching the video. I was amaze on him like I can't believe that this kind of educator are exist. he is mysterious professor. then after the video my tears fall down into my cheeks. I really adore him.

We need more documentaries about him. This video is so bitin!

They laugh at you because you are different... why not laugh on them... since they are the same...

Sir Madri, one of the best physics prof i've ever met. Grabe mag turo to si sir, ang haba ng pasensya, exact to the point at detailed ang explanation.

2019 na then while watching this, I realize something, F*ck the discrimination in the Philippines. A professor from a great university, being discriminated, thinking that he must be a poor, dirty, disgusting, person. Di ko na alam kung sa mga susunod na taon ganito parin ang mga pilipino.

Ano? ang cool nga ni sir. Gusto ko rin yang style na yan. Sa lahat ng mga nanglalait.......... YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

We can't hide the fact that he's really smart and humble bonus pa na pogi si Sir. Salute!😊

I am currently going to senior highschool and I have a teacher major in SCIENCE and HISTORY since I was grade 5 he was my inspiration to study hard paborito ko syang teacher dahil ang saya nya kakwentuhan at pag tanung tanungan ng mga bagay na gumugugol sa isip ko sumasabay sya.. sa mga kinukwento ko and most of all he teaches me a lot of lessons in life.. he is one of the people that i looked up to... Just like sir.Ruben... I am lucky that I have one of those prof or teachers that dedicate their lives and time for us... I GIVE BIG RESPECT FOR ALL THE MENTORS THAT TEACHES US NOT ONLY BASE ON THE BOOK, BUT THE LESSONS THEY LEARNED FROM EACH OF THEIR LIVES.. Btw my teacher is MR. Ramon Naanep... sadly mukhang mag rertire na sya soon... Best of luck sir! And sir Ruben

The weak minded laugh at him, while the others respect him.

Kung kasabay mo si professor noong kabataan mo, siguradong who you ka. Matalino na gwapo pa!

He is a dedicated teacher. I salute you Sir! 👏👏

"ang sagwa naman, yung kinita mo sa pagtatrabaho mapupunta lang sa gamot, eh sa pagkain na lang."

Napaka humble nyo po sir I salute you sir Kakaunti nalang po yung mga taong tulad nyo thank you sir

Teaching and studying physics is harder than you think! So much respect to this gentleman!

Parang wizard nga eh tapos professor pa siya! Astig! Hahah

More docus like this please! Exploring lifestyles of thriving yet productive citizens para ma inspire naman ang Filipinos.

Prof namin si sir this sem and still napaka galing niya magturo, lahat ng lectures namin kahit computations kabisado ni sir, wala syang libro or anything na pinagkokopyahan ng isusulat sa board and napakabait ni sir sobra!

He’s an inspiration to not to give a f*ck. Live life the way you want it as long as you don’t hurt or not a burden to anyone.

di kanaman nakakatakot tignan sir. astig nga po!!

Being unique, being who you truly are is the most beautiful thing to show to the word that you don't need to copy or follow someone's path...just be who you are....show them and tell them what really means the phrase "THIS IS ME" love your looks prof

Prof namin yan!!💓💓💓

pinapatunayan lang nito na marami pa ring pilipino na mapanghusga sa panlabas na kaanyuan pa lang. sa kanya ba may dapat baguhin? o yung pag-uugali ng mga pilipino dapat baguhin?

Ang balbas ay simbolo ng kaalaman ika nga nila. Makes you look wiser in a way. Hehe! He is just living the life that he want dun sya masaya eh sa simpleng pamumuhay, hindi man mukang ganun kapresentable and it may bother some people nasa kanila na yun as long as wala ka namang natatapakang tao Badass nga niyang tignan e.

Healthy living si prof🥰Hanga talaga ako sa kanya,ang talino♥️

Idol kopo ang ganitong tao. Very humble and very simple lang sa kanya ang Mathematics.

Ampogi naman niya kung walang balbas... astig nga eh... may mga ganitong tao talaga... yung prof namin sa physics sa up dati napagkamalan naming janitor nung 1st day of classes ksi nakikita naming tumatambay sa janitor's office tapos yung damit niya yung freebie na damit sa mga hardware pero sobrang talino.

dami na nya napatunayan bilang prof at puro kilalang schools pa pinag-turuan nya. magaling na professor toh panigurado.

Salute to you prof! Isa po kayong living legend na underrated sa mapanghusga nating bansa

Humble person always win Gods heart salute Sir God bless always po

Hindi basta basta maging prof ka ng physics.

MAY KASABIHAN NGA NA DONT JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER.SALUTE U SIR.

Sana makatagpo din kami ng professor na katulad nyo ...no pressure sa pag intindi kasi may puso

Nakaka amaze ka Sir! Very inspiring story... Isang saludo para sayu..

Anti-social behaviour is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists. -Nikola Tesla

We call him Professor Einstein. He's my professor in Physics 2. He's a great teacher. 😊

it's amazing that his story was featured. he deserves it!

Don’t judge a book by it’s own cover... amazing....

Nakakalungkot man pero di kase naten makokontrol ang isip ng mga taong mababaw ang isip. kudos sau prof!👊☺

nakaka inspire ka sir !! God bless you po !!

more documentary pa po na katulad nito tnk u po

Realest and coolest guy salute to you prof!

Yong mga nang lalait at mapanghusga sa pagkain palang ni Sir wala na kayo...

Pang marathon build ng katawan ni sir, astig.

I've just seen him a few months ago before ecq in our floor in our school building. glad to see this

Salute sir stay the same dont change its all about attitude. Astig ka para sa akin. Sana ganyan din ung balbas ko pero wala eh.. April 2020 im watching on youtube.
