KNOW THE PIONEERS

The lnstitute of Electonics & Communications Engineers of the Philippines was

organized in 1950 by a group of pioneers in the electronics and communicatlons
fields in the county, which included Dean Jose S. Alfonso, Mamerto Buenafe,
Fred Carino, Ciriaco Coronel, Jose Grey, Alftedo Albino Lara and Venancio
Pineda. Dean Alfonso served as the founding President of the organization.

It was during the term of Engr, Rosauro Calupitan (1968-1970) when Republic Act.
No. 5734 was enacted into law, by the virtue of which the Elecfonics & Communi'
cation Engineering (ECE) profession was born, and the rnechanics for the registra-
tion and licensing of ECE's was put into place. Engr. Calupitan was subsequendy
appointed the first ever chairman of the Board of Examiners for Elecfonics &
Communications Engineering, with Engrs. Felicib Rey Signo and Rigoberto
Espinosa as Members.

The succession of IECEP Presidents thereafter reads like a virtual "Who's Who? in
the elecfonics and telecommunications indusfy of the Philippines:
