Dr. Custer C. Deocaris of Radyo Agila, receives a plaque of appreciation from DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña and PCAARRD Acting Executive Director Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora for winning the first place of the Ulat SIPAG awards, broadcast category.  

Deocaris was recognized for his contribution in the field of broadcast media in support of DOST-PCAARRD's R&D Results Utilization banner program. His radio program Pinoy Scientist helps in empowering Filipino scientists, researchers, and other science and technology advocates by serving as their conduit to the public. As a scientist himself, Deocaris combines his knowledge on the subjects that he tackles with the art of science communication, thereby promoting better social advocacy and at the same time, inspiring greater social responsibility on the part of the scientific community, the citation reads.

Ms. Annabelle D. Surara of Radyo Agila receives a plaque of appreciation from DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña and PCAARRD Acting Executive Director Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora for winning the second place of the Ulat SIPAG awards, broadcast category.

Surara was recognized for her contribution in the field of broadcast media in support of DOST-PCAARRD's R&D Results Utilization banner program through her radio program ‘Kain Tayo.' The program makes use of Sunday lunchtimes, to engage the listeners towards the promotion and appreciation on the role of science and technology in the production of agricultural and aquatic food products. 

The program, the citation reads, inspires the family to participate on meaningful and productive exchanges during lunchtime, on the importance of science as it applies to food, being a primary human concern.

The awards were given during the Council's 7th Year Anniversary Celebration held at the Philippine International Convention Center.
