Dr. Edward F. Barroga is recognized for his significant contributions in animal cancer cell research particularly in canine osteosarcoma (bone cancer) which has become a good model for human osteosarcoma. He has shown that with the use of less toxic differentiation including vitamins and their analogues, canine osteosarcoma cells can be programmed to die willfully and could also be initiated to retransform into normal bone cells. He has also established and characterized a new cell line of bone cancer and has described its metastatic behavior in the lungs. His contributions to knowledge of the biology of cancer cells provide essential information that could lead to the development of diagnostic tests and formation of treatment strategies.

Dr. Alberto Barrion is recognized for his outstanding contributions to insect and spider biology and taxonomy of rice and rice-based crops. These contributions have benefited programs in the integrated pest management, biocontrol, community ecology and pest modelling. His pioneering works on the “Taxonomy and Bionomics of Philippine Riceland Spiders-Potential Biocontrol Agents of Rice Pests”, “Rice Leaffolder Complex of the Philippines” and “Food Webs of Rice Agroeco-systems” have stimulated further understanding of the rice-pest-natural enemy relationship.

Dr. Adelina Barrion is recognized for her significant contribution to biocontrol of major insect pests of agricultural crops. Her most important researches include the biology and systematics of Philippine spiders, genetics of resistance to pesticides in red spider mites, cytogenetics of planthoppers and leafhoppers in the Philippines, biotypes of agricultural crop pests and biology, seasonal fluctuation and genetics of psyllids infesting ipil-ipil. Her studies revealed the significant roles of spiders as predators regulating the geometric increase of various insect pest species in different ecosystems.
