Alfredo Fermin Espinosa Pascual (born July 7, 1948) is the 20th President of the University of the Philippines. He was a member of the Board of Regents, the University's highest policy-making body, representing the alumni with the position of Alumni Regent. Pascual is the first non-faculty member to hold the University of the Philippines presidency.
He is also the convenor of the Automated Election System (AES) Watch, an independent, multi-sector coalition that monitored and assessed the Philippines’ first ever nationwide poll automation in May 2010.
Born to Armando Pascual and Melania Espinosa, Pascual graduated valedictorian from the University of Santo Tomas High School. He then enrolled in the University of the Philippines Diliman and took up B.S. Chemistry, and graduated cum laude in 1969. He received his Master of Business Administration degree from the same university in 1972.
He attended the EC-ASEAN Teacher Program on the Management of Strategic and Organizational Change at the Euro-Asia Center of the Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) in Fontainebleau, France.
His early career was spent teaching at the Department of Chemistry of the University of the Philippines College of Science as an instructor before joining Ateneo de Manila University's departments of management engineering and business management as a part-time lecturer. He would later become the American Express Foundation Professor of Financial Management from 1980 to 1989, Master of Business Management program chair, and director of Advanced Bank Management program at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM).
