Filemon 'Jun' T. Berba Jr., an electrical engineer, chaired the organization behind the Philippine Science Centrum, the country's first interactive science center-museum.
Filemon “Jun” T. Berba Jr., a former head of Manila Water Company and Globe Telecom, passed away on April 4, Tuesday, a member of the family confirmed to Rappler.
“As its first president, Mr. Berba was instrumental in driving the transformation of Manila Water as it transitioned from being a public utility into a private company dedicated to providing excellent service to the East Zone,” the Manila Water, which provides water to the eastern side of Metro Manila, said.
“Graduating as a BSEE [Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering] magna cum laude in 1959, Jun had a distinguished career that started as a cadet engineer with General Electric. After obtaining his MBA with high distinction from Wharton [University], he came home to build landmark industries,” the UP ERDFI said.
Berba was once a Management Man of the Year awardee of the Management Association of the Philippines .Berba remained active in various business firms and non-profit endeavors after his retirement. “The idea of travelling exhibits came to him when, realizing that the country is an archipelago, and not everyone in the country has access to the same opportunities as those who live in the metropolitan areas,” says the UP Beta Epsilon fraternity in a profile about Berba on its website.
