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.
His wake will be at the Haven of Angels Memorial Chapel in Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City from April 8 to 10.
“Mr. Berba helped create the strong foundation towards the company’s vision of being a global leader in water and environmental service,” the utility company said. Among those cited by the foundation are the Manila Electric Company Oil Pipeline from Batangas to Pandacan, and Berba’s work in companies such as the Lopez-owned Philippine Electric Corporation , the country’s largest transformer manufacturer and provider of equipment electric cooperatives and private utilities; and Ayala Corporation’s Integrated Microelectronics Incorporated , one of the top electronics manufacturing service providers in the world.
He was chairman of the Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology, the organization behind the establishment of the Philippine Science Centrum, the country’s first interactive science center-museum located in Marikina City, and its Traveling Interactive Science Exhibits. Beta Epsilon said getting into the state university gave Berba “the chance to fulfill his father’s thwarted dreams of becoming an engineer,” adding that he “would also become much more than an engineer, using his expertise to not only improve systems but also work with the people and make their lives better.”
