Dr. Melito A. Baccay is recognized for his pioneering and outstanding works in the development of non-destructive electrochemical evaluation techniques for the assessment of the instantaneous corrosion rate of steel in existing reinforced concrete structures. His two-dimensional electrochemical model for the measurement and monitoring of steel corrosion in existing structure has been proven to be easy and practical to use. His current works are original and innovative to better understand the nature and mechanism of steel corrosion in existing reinforced concrete structure.

Dr. Rhodora Azanza is recognized for her pioneering work on seaweeds and harmful algal bloom, coastal environment management, and seafood safety in the Philippines. Her significant contributions and accomplishments in the field of biology and ecology of harmful microalgae, specifically her pioneering studies on toxic dinoflagellate species responsible for Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in the Philippines. Her original study in culturing the dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamanse var. compressum, the main Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning causative organism in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia, has paved the way in opening opportunities for further studies on the biology and eco-physiology of the dinoflagellate. Such studies have led to the identification of the factors that affect the occurence of algal blooms and have contributed to the design and implementation of proactive strategies that can mitigate the harmful effects of red tides and other algal blooms. Thus, negative socio-economic impacts specially on the coastal people have been minimized, if not prevented.
