Former UE Library Science Professor, Esteemed Librarian Passses Away

The University of the East community condoles with the family of the late Dr. Juan C. Buenrostro Jr., who passed away this past Saturday, May 16, 2026, at age 77.

Born on July 1, 1949. Dr. Buenrostro or Sir Johnny was a former faculty member of the UE College of Arts and Sciences-Manila’s Department of Library and Information Science from 1991 to 2021. He also taught at UE Graduate School for more than a decade.

Nearly four years ago, Dr. Buenrostro was awarded by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as the 2022 Outstanding Professional of the Year in the field of Librarianship.

Per the PRC, the Outstanding Professional of the Year award, which was conferred upon Dr. Buenrostro at the PRC Awards Night on July 29, 2022, is “the highest award bestowed by the Commission upon a professional as recommended by his/her peers for having amply demonstrated professional competence of the highest degree and conducted meaningfully in professional activities through professional organizations, contributed significantly to the advancement of the profession, and contributed significantly to the effective discharge of the profession’s social responsibility through meaningful contribution or participation in socio-related activities.”

Dr. Buenrostro had received training in library and information science in the Philippines, India, USA, and Canada. His professional experience as librarian commenced at the Asian Library of the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation. His other assignments have included working for libraries for school children and academic (i.e., college or university) libraries and serving as a consultant to the Center for Human Research and Development Foundation, the Professional Librarians' Review Center and the Marikina Public Library—giving him a wide experience in the field of librarianship.

The former UE faculty member also served as a resource speaker in seminars, workshops and conferences on various topics within the realm of librarianship, in different institutions throughout the country. He was also the author of Batayang Aklat sa Librarianship, the first library science book written in Filipino, and other library and information science books including a reviewer for the librarian’s licensure examinations.

The wake for Dr. Buenrostro is ongoing up to this Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at the Marian Memorial Chapels and Crematory on Marcos Highway, Antipolo City. Interment will be on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 9 a.m., at Heaven's Gate Memorial Garden 1 in Antipolo City.

Rest in peace, Sir Johnny, and many thanks for your invaluable Warrior service to generations of UE learners...

The University of the East - Library and Information Science Alumni Association, Inc. deeply mourns the passing of our dearly beloved professor, Dr. Juan “Buen” C. Buenrostro, Jr. More than an educator, Dr. Buen was a mentor and inspiration to countless LIS students of UE, igniting in them a genuine love for the profession that will continue through generations.

The photo used in this post was captured at the LBWR of the UE Library, POD-CIT Building, the room that shaped the minds of his beloved UE students. More than the lessons, Dr. Buen shared stories that brought wisdom, laughter, and life into every class– stories his students will forever carry with them.

Rest in Power, our Sir John Lloyd!
