I found the following reported in Manila Times:
Filipino nominee for Nobel Prize?
So I sent feedback to Manila times:
------------
I find your report on Escultura's nomination for the Nobel Prize in Physics dubious.
I did a search for "Hieber" and "Jonhasen" in the Royal Swedish Academy website:
royal swedish academy members
I got no hits. Nor do I find the names by checking one-by-one.
Furthermore information from the Nobel Prize website on nominations is clear:
http://nobelprize.org/physics/nomination/index.html
Information about nomination, etc. is kept secret for FIFTY YEARS. Only the winner is informed of the outcome.
Kindly double-check your facts and confirm whether this alleged nomination is correct.

Hey, we need to be careful about things like this. We don't to become an international laughingstock - again!
