Founding Board of Trustees

The Foundation in its initial years operated with seven trustees:

  1. Edgardo J. Angara, LLB’58; LLD’13hc
  2. Juan G. Collas, Jr., LLB’58
  3. Vicente R. Limcaoco, BS’60; MD’63

  5. Reginaldo S. Picache, MD’62
  6. Ramon S. Quesada, Jr., BD’66
  7. Rafael M. Salas


Before President Edgardo J. Angara ended his term, the Board of Trustees decided, among other things, to increase the number of trustees to 15, and to give the UP President complete discretion on the composition of the Board. The UP President has traditionally been the Chairman of the FUPFA Board.


FUPFA’s Board of Trustees was last reorganized in 2007 during the term of Dr. Emerlinda Roman as UP President. President Alfredo E. Pascual succeeded Dr. Roman as Chairman of the FUPFA Board in 2011. In 2017, the current UP President Danilo L. Concepcion took over as Chair of the FUPFA Board.
