Dr. Grecebio Jonathan Alejandro is recognized of his pioneering work on the phylogeny in the genus Mussaenda Burn. Ex L. and its allied genera in the family Rubianceae using molecular techniques. His contributions, the first revisions in the systematics of Philippine Rubiaceae beyond the enumeration by Merrill in 1923, established a new genus, Bremeria including 19 new combinations for Mussaendeae, and five new species and a variety of Philipppine Mussaenda, and proposed new circumscription of Mussaenda sensu stricto. This information is invaluable in selecting species with possible medicinal value, for indentifying species with ornamental potential and for describing species most meaningful for phylogenetic studies. Dr. Alejandro’s descriptions are coded in the DELTA (Descriptive Language for Taxonomy) database for interactive and information retrieval. His results have been presented before international and national scientific organizations in various conventions, symposia, and congresses and have been published in internationally and nationally recognized journals on botanical systematics.

Dr. Arturo P. Alcaraz was considered as the Philippines' Father of Geothermal Energy Development, due to his contributions to studies about Philippine volcanology and the energy derived from volcanic sources. His chief contribution was the study and establishment of geothermal power plants in the country, particularly in the regions of Tiwi, Albay, Mt. Makiling and Mt. Banahaw (Mac-Ban), and Leyte. In the 1980s, the Philippines even attained the second highest geothermal generating capacity in the world, besting mentor countries Italy and New Zealand. The Philippine government, the scientific community and his alma mater have all recognized Alcaraz’s contribution over the years. In 1962 Mapua Institute of Technology gave him its award as Outstanding Alumnus in the Field of Science and Technology in Government Service; in 1968 he received the Presidential Award of Merit for his work in volcanology and his initial work in geothermy; and in 1971 he was given an Award for Science from the Philippine Association for the Advancement of Science (PHILAAS). Awards of Appreciation were presented him in 1974, 1977, 1981 and 1982 by the organizations and colleagues with whom he worked, and in 1980 he was the recipient of both the Gregorio Y. Zara Memorial Award in Basic Science from PHILAAS and the Geologist of the Year Award from the Professional Regulatory Commission. He was also the Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service for 1982.
