University of the East (UE), host of UAAP Season 86, has appointed new head coaches for its women’s volleyball and boys’ basketball teams.
Jerry Yee will take on the role of head coach for the Lady Warriors, while Karl Santos has been selected to lead the Junior Warriors.
Yee will replace Ronwald Dimaculangan, while Santos took the post of Ronnie Dojillo.

Jared Lao will handle team manager duties for both squads.
“I am incredibly grateful to the UE community for welcoming our group with open arms. I am also thrilled about the opportunity to work with this exceptional group of coaches. UE is widely recognized for having one of the best basketball and volleyball programs in the Philippines,” expressed team manager Jared, son of sports patron Frank Lao, who also supports the programs of College of Saint Benilde and Letran High School.
Yee is no stranger to the UAAP, having previously coached the women’s volleyball teams of the University of the Philippines and Adamson University. He currently serves as the head coach of PVL club Farm Fresh and CSB.
“It is a privilege to have Coach Jerry Yee as our head coach. Coach Jerry’s reputation and experience in the field of volleyball are well-known. With his extensive knowledge and expertise, there is no doubt that his leadership will steer the team in a new direction,” said Lao.
Meanwhile, Santos, the former head coach of La Salle Green Hills, guided the Greenies to a Final Four finish in NCAA Season 95. He also serves as an assistant coach for PBA team Converge.
