Francisco Quisumbing

Francisco Quisumbing is a Filipino chemist that invented the Quink ink used by The Parker Pen Company. He graduated from the University of Chicago under the American "pensionado" program. After World War II, he did not manage to organize the Philippine Ink Corporation under the Japanese Reparations Program due to too much government intervention.
