ROXAS, ISABELA — What began as a research presentation in a campus colloquium culminated in a historic university-wide victory as three Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness students from Isabela State University (ISU) Roxas Campus emerged as champions in the Undergraduate Technical Research Category during the 2026 University Undergraduate and Graduate Research and Development (R&D) Symposium held at ISU-Echague.

The winning team, composed of 𝐑𝐡𝐞𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐞 𝐀. 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐨, 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐅. 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐚 𝐉𝐫., and 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐲 𝐀. 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐭, impressed evaluators with their study, “𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐱.” Guided by their adviser, 𝐄𝐝𝐧𝐚 𝐌. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐳, the student researchers transformed a pressing agricultural challenge into an innovative value-adding solution for farmers and agribusiness stakeholders.

The team’s journey began at the 2026 ISU Roxas Campus Research Colloquium, where their study stood out for its relevance, innovation, and potential contribution to sustainable agribusiness development. Their strong performance earned them the opportunity to represent the campus at the next level of competition.

Advancing to the 2026 Cluster Search for Best Graduate and Undergraduate Research, the team competed against top student researchers from ISU Cauayan, ISU San Mateo, and ISU Roxas campuses. Their outstanding research and presentation earned them First Place in the Undergraduate Technical Research Category, securing their spot in the university-wide competition.

Building on their cluster-level success, the team advanced to the 2026 University Undergraduate and Graduate Research and Development Symposium at De Venecia Hall, ISU-Echague, where the university’s top student researchers showcased innovative studies addressing contemporary societal, educational, technological, and developmental concerns.

Competing against the finest research papers from various ISU clusters, Lovero, Macalma, and Salguet once again demonstrated the strength of their work. The study showed how tomato overproduction can be transformed into an opportunity through a marketable tomato seasoning mix, integrating product innovation, agribusiness, and market feasibility to support agricultural sustainability and rural enterprise development.

The team earned First Place in the Undergraduate Technical Research Category at the university level, bringing honor to the School of Agriculture and Agribusiness and ISU Roxas Campus. Their achievement was recognized during the symposium’s awarding ceremony and later honored with a plaque during the Araw ng Parangal of ISU’s 48th Founding Anniversary.

Beyond the award itself, the victory carries historic significance. According to the campus director for Research and Development, this marks the first time that the School of Agriculture and Agribusiness (SAA) has won a university-level research competition. The milestone highlights the growing research capability of Agribusiness students and the department’s commitment to producing impactful and community-responsive research.

As ISU strengthens its culture of research and innovation, the success of Lovero, Macalma, and Salguet inspires future student researchers. Their journey from the campus colloquium to the university-level competition demonstrates how dedication, innovation, and research excellence can create meaningful solutions for community and industry needs.

The historic victory not only celebrates academic excellence but also highlights the role of research in advancing sustainable agriculture, fostering innovation, and developing future agribusiness leaders.

Know your schedule.
