In memoriam Arturo Q Trinidad
The UE community mourns the passing last Monday, December 1, 2014, of Dr. Arturo Q. Trinidad, UE's President from July 16, 1991 to October 17, 1992. He was 82 years old.
Dr. Trinidad was the fifth full-time President of UE. He had replaced then UE Chairman of the Board and concurrent President Panfilo O. Domingo for the University's presidency so that Chairman Domingo could focus on UE's corporate matters while President Trinidad managed the University's academic affairs.
As reported in a 1991 issue of the Dawn, Dr. Trinidad had earned his undergraduate degree from the Mapua Institute of Technology and his master's degree in Statistics and Business Administration from the University of the Philippines, and had been a Management major of Stanford University. He had landed in 4th Place in the 1955 licensure examination for civil engineers.
Before being appointed UE President, Dr. Trinidad was Executive Vice President of Philippine National Bank, during the PNB presidency of eventual UE Chairman P. O. Domingo.
Dr. Trinidad's remains lie in state at the St. Luke Chapel of the Loyola Memorial Chapels & Crematorium on Bernardino Street (near EDSA), Guadalupe, Makati City. Cremation will be done tomorrow, December 4, at 4 p.m.
Our condolences and sympathies to former UE President Trinidad's family and friends. Prayers for his eternal repose will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
