1. Dr. Francisco O. Santos
He will be remembered for his deep concern and
interest in the improvement of Filipino
nutrition. He made an in-depth study of
the value of traditional Filipino foods-the
amounts of nutrients, their vitamin
content, and their chemical composition.
He also researched on Philippine nutrition
problems such as the effects of a poor diet. He
established the anti-beriberi vitamin content of
Sweet potato (camote) and was the very first to
advocate home gardening.

2.Dr. Dioscoro L. Umali
He is known for breeding improved varieties of food
grains, legumes, fruits, and ornamental plants. His
researched output and writings have inspired the
launching of programs like rainfed and upland
agriculture, social forestry, environmental conservation,
and rural poverty alleviation.
Dr. Umali is a strong advocate of people’s participation
in the state’s decision making process and the
adaptation of technology and development models
appropriate to the country’s geography, tradition, and
social history. He inspired his fellow scientists to set
their goals on the development of full human potential
and social transformation.

3.Dr. Juan Salcedo
Dr. Salcedo discovered enriched rice for the prevention
of beriberi. Enriched rice is fortified with vitamin B1
was good cure for beriberi. He also launched some
popular programs such as:
a. The vaccination of BCG to combat tuberculosis,
which was the number –one killer in the Philippines
during his time.
b. The extensive drive to combat malaria-carrying
mosquitoes.

Dr. Garcia’s significant contribution is in the area of
immunology and parasitic infections. He has been
conducting studies on the development of a vaccine
for Schistosomiasis japonica.
To date 18 scientific papers have been written and
published in foreign journals, and a vaccine against
infection has been developed based on his researched.

Dr. Varona invented an electronic fire and burglar
alarm, and the process of making vegetable food
products with meat-like structure and flavor. His
electronic Fire and burglar alarm won the first
Presidential award in 1970. The process of making
vegetable food products with meat-like structure and
flavor won the second award.
