The Agapito Flores controversy continues - Agapito Flores has been acclaimed by some as being the inventor of the first fluorescent lamp. However, the dates are all wrong for this being possible. The following points have been taken from "The History of Fluorescent Lights"
It has been reported that Agapito Flores received a French patent for a fluorescent bulb and that the General Electric Company bought Flores' patent rights and manufactured and sold his fluorescent bulb (making millions from it). However, all the inventors named above and more predate Agapito Flores' possible work on any fluorescent bulb.
According to Dr. Benito Vergara of the Philippine Science Heritage Center, "As far as I could learn, a certain Flores presented the idea of fluorescent light to Manuel Quezon when he became president. At that time, General Electric Co. had already presented the fluorescent light to the public."

Agapito Flores is a mythical figure associated with inventing the fluorescent lamp in the Philippines. However, there is no verifiable biography or bibliography of Agapito Flores as historical records do not support the claim of his existence or his invention of the fluorescent lamp.
Do you mean biography?
yes
No, Agapito Flores did not invent the fluorescent lamp but it is true that there is a very popular myth in the Philippines that he did do so! Agapito Flores was not recognised by the mainstream scientific community.
