The UE community condoles with the family of Mr. Mario M. Atangan, the recent incumbent Environmental Services Office (ESO) Supervisor of the University’s Caloocan Campus, who passed away last July 2, 2021, at age 64.
The Aparri, Cagayan-born Mr. Atangan had been an employee of the University since January 26, 1993, initially serving as a casual employee in UE Manila. In April 1995, he became part of the University’s Security Office and was so for 12 years. He became the Janitorial Supervisor in June 2007, which led to his position as the UE Caloocan ESO Supervisor.
He was twice recognized as a UE Service Awardee: for 20 years of service in 2013 and for 25 years of service in 2018. The photo here shows his 2018 UE Service Awards portrait.
Mr. Atangan is survived by his wife, Mildred Atangan, and their two daughters who are both UE graduates: Atty. Mishiele Atangan-Villagracia (BS Accountancy, 2001; Bachelor of Laws, 2011), and Mrs. Maricel Atangan-Rahnema (Bachelor of Science, major in Psychology, 2004). Atty. Atangan-Villagracia—to date, the Director for Tax and Regulatory of Cebu Air Inc.’s Controllership Department—was, in fact, the commencement speaker for the morning session of the 2019 Yearend Commencement Rites on April 25, 2019, at the PICC Plenary Hall.
Rest in peace, Sir Atangan, and thank you for your longtime and dedicated Warrior service to UE…
