Dr. Alonzo A. Gabriel is one of the 2014 Junior Chamber International (JCI) Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP). Gabriel was recognized under the category academic leadership and/or accomplishment. Senate Resolution No. 875, introduced by Senator Manuel M. Lapid, states "Dr. Gabriel helps micro and small scale industry stakeholders who do not have the ability to conduct their own research to stay updated with the newest food safety and processing innovations, as they are often marginalized or underprivileged across communities. "The resolution further states, "His advocacy for improved food quality, safety and defense moves farmers, fishermen and food manufacturers to comply with international standards for production, distribution and trade. "Gabriel, a noted food scientist/technologist, was recognized by JCI for his knowhow in food science, focusing on food hygiene and nutrition and for sharing his thoughts and knowledge on proper food preparation to street vendors and mothers.
