Dear Fellow Officers and Members,
Greetings!
It is with great pride and happiness that all our efforts in creating, organizing and putting everything into its proper place have finally been rewarded. To reap the reward is an achievement which I would like to share to you.
Allow me to inform you all that IECEP Inc., National Office has formally recognized IECEP-FECEA UAE as a Foreign Chapter on September 25, 2008. Consequently, we will now use the name IECEP United Arab Emirates Chapter as the Official Name of the organization, bearing the same logo, as indicated in the Certificate awarded to us. Aside from that, all our members will be given their respective membership Identification Cards. These membership cards will now remind us of our commitment to the organization and will also serve as our motivating tool in doing the task as expected of us.
Therefore, as I’m always saying – let us be one in all our deeds and actions for the accomplishment of our goals, our mission and vision. Let us start making a history in order to be the model Filipino organization outside of our country.
Thank you very much and may God bless us all.
Engr. Jethroefel E. Ramboyong, PECE, ASEAN Engr, ACPE 2008-2010
Governor & Chairman of the Board
IECEP UAE was founded in July 24, 2008 and was originally named as Filipino Electronics and Communications Engineers Association (FECEA – UAE). A group of 14 Electronics Engineers headed by Engr. Jethroefel E. Ramboyong gathered themselves together and formed the Association. In August of the same year, it was recognized by the Philippine Embassy in UAE as one of its duly registered Filipino Organizations. And on Sept 2008, it was affiliated as a Foreign Chapter of IECEP, Inc. bearing the name Institute of Electronics Engineers – UAE Chapter (IECEP UAE).

And on Sept 2008, it was affiliated as a Foreign Chapter of IECEP, Inc. bearing the name Institute of Electronics Engineers – UAE Chapter (IECEP UAE).
Since then, the Association has created several events and programs which provide them prestige and honor. It all begun with their active participation to the different Filipino Community (FilCom) activities like partaking in the establishment of the Filipino Professional Group (currently being called Philippine Professional Organization – PPO) and the Special Professional Licensure Board Examination (SPLBE); assisting in the 2010 Overseas Absentee Voting for National Election, Fundraising campaign for Bantay Bata, Typhoons and Taal Volcanic eruption; Outreach Program for Destitute OFWs who are all under the care of POLO OWWA in Abu Dhabi and Dubai; participating to some Gawad Kalinga projects, rendering mass sponsorships and supporting some other activities of the Philippine Embassy. Currently, IECEP UAE sits as member of the Bayanihan Executive Board being the Vice Chairman of the Bayanihan Council which is the sole umbrella organization of Filipino Community organizations in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, as part of its mission, the Association has undertaken different projects relating to competency, proficiency, leadership and communication by conducting seminars, trainings and workshops to its members. All these activities provided better understanding, bond and comradeship to all and even attracted more members to join the Association. These earned them awards from IECEP National being the “2009 Most Outstanding Chapter of the Year, Most Outstanding Foreign Chapter in 2011 & 2012 and Best Foreign Chapter in 2018 & 2019.
During its journey for more than a decade, the chapter was governed by notable servant leaders who now serves as the Council of Advisers to the Board of Directors. Their leadership and competency brought and produced several SPLE registered ECE and ECT and other certifications from its in-house trainings. Further, more Engineers were motivated and included to being upgraded to PECE, ASEAN Engineer and ACPE status. These also brought some Engineers to be recognized and highly – regarded and therefore, awarded by local yet notable Award-Giving group in UAE.
IECEP UAE created a greater impact to the personal and professional lives of its members. The institute was able to strengthen their beliefs and enhance their enthusiasm to further develop their skills and know-how. With the escalating economic distress, the support and steadfast commitment of the organization to alleviate the career of its members is already a rewarding move. In a world where there are cultural, spiritual and intellectual differences, the presence of a “family” in IECEP UAE is very significant.
To date, a total number of 500+ members remain active. It is not the number that unites them but their Character, Commitment, Capability and Faith in God.
Indeed, to belong to IECEP UAE Chapter is a great privilege.
Dear Valued Members,
It is with great honor and privilege to serve IECEP UAE as the 2020 Chapter Governor. Being servant leaders, we focus on the needs of our members without any reservation – to acknowledge their perspectives, to help them meet their work and personal goals in any way we can offer, and to build a sense of community within the organization.
I would like to recognize the great efforts of our past governors and chapter officers that made IECEP UAE gone this far. As current Officers and Board of Directors, we promise that we will keep on going!
To our valued members, IECEP UAE will not reach its 12th year without all of you. Thank you very much for your continued support. But I believe that it doesn’t end in being a member. I am encouraging everyone to get involved in all upcoming events and activities of the organization and aim to help our fellow members by being the next leaders.
With this year’s IECEP theme, “Electronics Technologies in the Forefront of Disaster Resiliency”, it reminds us that Filipino Electronics Engineers and practitioners all over the globe can play a major role in times of adversity.
Let us all continue to keep the flame of IECEP UAE burning and keep the spirit of #OneFamily #OneProfession #OneOrganization #OneIECEP!
Thank you!
