The University of the East community extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Divinofiel E. Jaras, the University’s longtime Corporate Secretary, who passed away on November 4, 2026, at the age of 78.

Known as Fiel to his family and colleagues, Mr. Jaras is a UE alumnus twice over. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Commercial Education from the University in 1969. After 30 years, he earned his Bachelor of Laws degree from the UE College of Law in 1999.

Mr. Jaras began his nearly 60-year journey with UE as a Temporary Clerk-Messenger in June 1965. He was appointed as an official Clerk-Messenger (Pay Class III) in November of the same year.

In 1975, he served as an Office Assistant. In May 1989, he was appointed Acting Corporate Secretary, formally assuming the position in June 1991. He held this position until his retirement in August 2025.

In 2010, he was appointed Corporate Secretary in a concurrent capacity of the UE Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center Inc. (UERMMMCI), which he held until his retirement in 2025.

Throughout his nearly 60 years of service to the University, Mr. Jaras dedicated much of his career to serving as UE’s Corporate Secretary. In September 2023, he was recognized as a 55-year service awardee during the University Service Awards held in celebration of UE’s 77th Foundation Anniversary.

He is survived by his wife, Eunice, and their two children, Divinofiel Jr., and Beryl Faith. (Another daughter, Sharmaine Love passed away in February 2022).

There will be a funeral discourse in Mr. Jaras’ memory on Sunday, Dec. 6, 2026, 7 p.m., at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Instruccion St., Sampaloc, Manila. For those who wish to attend online, the meeting ID is 840 3471 5019. The passcode is LOLOFIEL

Rest in power, Sir Fiel Jaras. Thank you for your years of service, loyalty, and unwavering dedication to the University of the East. Your legacy will remain part of the UE community. ... See MoreSee Less

The UE Red Warriors claimed a hard-earned 53–47 victory over the Adamson Soaring Falcons on November 7, 2026 in UAAP Season 89!

For Coach Paulo Hubalde, basketball has always been about giving your heart out—and today, his Warriors showed exactly what that means. Every possession, every defensive stop, and every effort on the floor reflected their determination to fight for the red and white.

As Coach Hubalde said, “They are giving it all sa floor.”

And that is the Warrior spirit. Puso hanggang dulo! ❤️🤍
