At the WESVARRDEC's 20th Regional Symposium on Research and Development Highlights (RSRDH) hosted by the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos in Bacolod City, the research projects on lemongrass (tanglad) tea concoctions by the Central Philippine University (CPU), ampalaya's antibacterial properties by UNO-R and production of the darag native chicken by the West Visayas State University (WVSU) reaped the top prizes.

Featuring top-caliber evaluators led by former DENR Secretary Angel Alcala, the August 13, 2010 symposium featured 23 research projects selected this year from among WESVARRDEC's 28 partner member agencies across Western Visayas.

CPU's “Antioxidant Activity and Citral Content of Different Tea Preparations of the Above-Ground Parts of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus Stapf.)” authored by Mizpah C. Villalobos ranked first among the three judges, making it emerge as the first prize-winner in research category.
