Dr. Leslie Michelle M. Dalmacio is recognized of her significant researches focusing on the human microbiome and probiotics studies, which helped elucidate the community structure and role of these microorganisms in health and disease. Her involvement in the studies of probiotic bacteria, their isolation, identification, and utilization through metagenomics led to the discovery of microorganisms and potential probiotics missed out by previous culture-based studies that were present in some of our traditional fermented foods. Her molecular epidemiology study on an emerging hepatitis virus, Hepatitis G, showed co-occurrence of this infectious agent with Hepatitis B or C in the country, warranting an improvement in the screening of blood and blood products for blood banking.

Dr. Amando Dalisay had done pioneering work on economic policy for Philippine agriculture; consistent in-depth studies and field practices on agricultural and rural development in the country since 1954. His book, Agricultural and Rural Development in the Philippines (Post-War Period) defines the setting and the various factors or forces that influence agricultural and rural development in the early post-war period. His paper Values in Policy Formulation for Rural Development presents the role of our social values in providing direction to the formation of public policies for rural development. Dr. Dalisay was a recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award for economics and public service, UP College of Agriculture in 1973.
