Jesus Augusto “Chito” P. Francisco (1943-2019)
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our most esteemed colleague and friend, Chito. He left behind a legacy of sharing, such that, his widow, Mariel, and family, decided to make UPERDFI the beneficiary of gifts in lieu of flowers.
After his BSME degree, he took up BSEE, graduating in 1966. He joined Meralco, and rose through the ranks, becoming its President until he retired. Chito served UPERDFI as Chairman from the mid-90s until 2007. He was recognized as UPCOE’s Most Distinguished Alumnus by the UP Alumni Engineers in 2008, and as one of Top 100 Engineering Alumni in the Centennial Year of UPCOE in 2010.
With his gentle demeanor, he got things done! We will surely miss him.

Passing of our STS lecturer Ernesto G Sonido Jr MLIS (1967-2019)
ERNESTO G. SONIDO Jr MLIS (1967-2019)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our STS Senior Lecturer Prof Ernesto “Juned” Sonido. He was 52.
Juned started out his career in fisheries and aquaculture as a graduate of UP Visayas College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences in 1990. After a short stint in managing fisheries related NGOs, he worked in science information abstracting services when the BPO industry in the Philippines was in its infancy. The development and prospects of this industry was the subject of his master’s thesis in Library and Information Science in 2003.
Afterwards, he further expanded his portfolio to cover social media and digital media and online reputation management. It is here where he helped government, non-government, civil society and people’s organizations and ordinary citizens, especially bloggers on how to manage their social media and online presence. He traveled around the Philippines, the ASEAN and the rest of Asia giving talks and workshops on social and digital media.
He had a major interest in politics and social media. Because of this he joined the UP College of Science Science and Society Program as a lecturer in 2013. He intended to establish social and digital media studies and research as part of the Science, Technology and Society (STS) courses. One of his first lectures at the UP was on Twitter and the Arab Spring where he told students, social media isn’t enough to effect change and that they must organize people and march on the streets.
Juned was a recognized social and digital media professional and blogger. His only partisanship is for the Filipino people and nation and not to any political party and color. He was working on the social and digital media course proposals for the masters and PhD in STS when death overtook him.
He is survived by his brother, sisters, nephews and nieces.

Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr. (October 12, 1958 – February 23, 2019)
Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr., Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor and Chairman; and a University of the Philippines Diliman alumnus, peacefully passed away at the age of 60 years old after battling tongue cancer for more than a year. The whole U.P. and BSP community are deeply saddened with the loss of a great man, who had devoted his life in service of the Filipino people.
Espenilla received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics magna cum laude in 1980, and finished his Master of Business Administration in 1982 in the University of the Philippines Diliman. He also received a Master of Science Degree in Policy Science from the Graduate Institute of Policy Science in Tokyo, Japan.
In 2015, Espenilla was honored with the University of the Philippines Alumni Association (UPAA) Distinguished Award for Good Governance for his extraordinary achievements and excellent contributions in the field of Banking and Finance.
Espenilla had served BSP for almost 40 years and was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as Governor and Chairman in 2017. He concurrently served as an ex-officio Chair of the Anti-Money Laundering Council, Philippine International Convention Center, and the Financial Stability Coordination Council.
“Nesting”, as he was fondly called by his Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) colleagues, began his career in BSP as Department Analyst in 1981. He was a longtime Deputy Governor for enforcement, in charge of disciplining banks. Two years ago, he was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as BSP Governor and Chair.
Nesting was an advocate of financial inclusion. He will be deeply remembered by the Filipino people because he made banking services inclusive especially to the marginalized and underserved. He was instrumental in setting up an electronic fund transfer system called InstaPay, as well as an automated clearing house dubbed PESONet, under a broader regulatory framework called the National Retail Payment System (NRPS).
Nestor Espenilla, Jr. is survived by his wife, Maria Teresita Festin Espenilla, daughter Jacqueline Joyce, son-in-law Ben Baltazar, sons Nikko Nestor and Leonardo Nestor, and grandchild Zev Eron.
