Dr. Camara-Besa is a medical educator and researcher. She has worked on the sodium and potassium content of Philippine food and established standards useful in the preparation of diets. Her series of eight papers on cholesterol levels in relation to diets of various segments of the Filipino population which are very important epidemiological basic data on the Filipino give an idea of the importance of fats and cholesterol in the epidemiology of atherosclerosis among Filipinos. Some of Dr. Camara-Besa's researches were award winning. She was a Barbour Scholar, University of Michigan from 1939-1940 and is a member of various honorary and learned societies.

Dr. Drexel H. Camacho is recognized for his significant contributions in the utilization of organometallics in catalysis which afforded novel methods that are high yielding, environmentally friendly and atom economical in synthesizing biologically important compounds, difficult to prepare macromolecules and unique conjugated systems. The innovative macrocylic organometallic compounds he designed have found application as catalysts that can tolerate industrial conditions in preparing polymers with novel properties. His contribution in the semiconductor industry paved the way of an optimized process conditions, improved product yields, and better quality through understanding of polymer chemistry allowing the development of next generation materials and processes that are economical to the semiconductor manufacturing in the Philippines.
