The Sandigan Award Individual Category was presented to Dr. John Herbohn of the University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for his significant contributions to the research and development program of VSU since year 2000.

The Sandigan Award Institutional Category was presented to the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology of the Georg-August-Universität, Gőettingen, Germany for the faculty's contribution to the continuous staff development of the faculty of the College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (CFES) and the Department of Agronomy and Soil Science (DASS) of VSU.

Mr. Bernardo H. Tocmo was also awarded the Outstanding Alumnus Award for bringing prestige and honor to VSU being the Senior Executive Vice President of Metropolitan Banking Corporation (Metrobank), one of the leading banking institutions of the country.

Mrs. Anita Toledo-Sabijon of Barangay Pangasugan, Baybay City, Leyte, on the other hand, was awarded the Mother of the Year for having shown her trust and confidence in VSU by sending her nine children to study in the said institution, one of whom graduated with Latin Honors (Cum Laude).
