Dr. Evelyn Mae Tecson Mendoza is recognized for her sustained basic researches in plant biochemistry: (a) on the factors affecting the nutritional quality and acceptability of cowpea, mungbean and several underutilized Philippine indigenous legumes, cassava and sweet potato; (b) on the biochemical basis of resistance of selected plants to pest or disease; and (c) on the biochemical basis of the makapuno phenotype of coconut. Dr. Tecson-Mendoza‘s research interests cover molecular mechanisms of plant resistance to pests and diseases, biochemical factors affecting nutritional quality and acceptability of plant foods, and plant biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology and their applications in plant breeding. She has, with co-researchers and students, published more than 90 technical papers in refereed journals, has co-authored two books, edited or co-edited five books, and has written 12 chapters in various books. Dr. Tecson-Mendoza is the recipient of several national, professional, and institutional awards and research paper awards. She is presently the editor-in-chief of the ISI-covered Philippine Agricultural Scientist.

Dr. Manolo Mena is recognized of his significant contribution in mining and metallurgical engineering. Dr. Mena developed processes, which are more efficient and co-effective in converting our natural resources into high value commodities. These include the leaching of chrysocholla- a fast becoming source of copper in the world- with ammonia- ammonium carbonate, an alternative to high temperature and energy-intensive processes, the use of aqueous oxidation which results into four-fold increase in gold recovery for ores not amenable of conventional cyanidation, the use of inhibitors which could reduce wear of grinding media, a considerable cost of mineral processing by 50% and the conversion of locally available materials into products such as sodium molybdate and sodium arsenate which are imported.
