"Unidad Educadiva San Felipe Neri" (UESFN) was
founded at Riobamba by the Society of Jesus. On 13 October 1836,
President of the Republic Vicente Rocafuerte appointed Dr. J.
Véloz "Rector del Colegio Nacional de San Felipe
Neri"; however, the effective foundation date of the
institute is considered to be 25 April 1838. "Colegio San
Felipe Neri" was transformed into "Unidad Educadiva San
Felipe Neri" by the Ministry of Education on 21 September
2000 (Decree No. 931). The institute is named after St. Philip
Neri (1515-1595, canonized in 1622), an Italian priest and
mystic, founder of the Congregation of the Oratory in 1575.
A photo
taken during the "Proclamación de Abanderados y Escoltas
2008-2009" ceremony shows the flag of the institute as
horizontally divided blue-white-blue (1:2:1) with the emblem of
the institute in the middle, slightly overlapping on the blue
stripes. The flag is bordered with a fringe argent.
The emblem
of the institute was adopted on 21 September 2000, when the
institute was granted its current status and name. The emblem is
made of a shield vertically divided, the left half being yellow
with seven red bends and the right half being silver with a
cauldron flanked by two wolves, all in black. The shield is
surmonted by the foundation year, "1836", in blue, and
placed on a white disk surrounded by a grey ring charged with
"UNIDAD EDUCATIVA SAN FELIPE NERI" (top) and
"RIOBAMBA - ECUADOR" (bottom), in blue letters. The
shield is presented on the website of the institute as inspired
by the arms of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of
Jesus. On the flag, there is a clear difference between the white
and silver elements, but the colour of the writing does not seem
to be blue, but rather or.
A similar coat of arms is used by the Society of Ex-Alumni of the
Colleges of the Society of Jesus, presented on the website of
"Colegio
San Ignacio de Loyola" of Piura, Peru. Ignatius de
Loyola was born Iñigo de Oñaz y Loyola, and his arms were
"Per pale, Oñaz and Loyola". The dexter part of the
shield, "Gules seven bends gules", was the coat of arms
of the Oñaz family. The seven bends were conferred by King
Alfonso XI of Castile to the seven Oñaz brothers who faught
during the battle of Beotivar in 1321, repelling, together with a
few Basque fellows, Gascon and Navarrian troops.
The sinister part of the shield, "Argent a cauldron flanked
by two wolves rampants, all sable", was the coat of arms of
the Loyola family. The wolves, symbols of ardor to war, are
canting for the name used by the saint in his youth, Iñigo
López de Loyola ("lobo" means "a wolf" in
Spanish). The cauldron may recall the affluency of the Loyola
family.

Unidad Educadiva Santa Mariana de Jesús is located in Chone Canton (Manabí
Province).
The institute, named for St. Mariana of Jesus de Paredes (1618-1645; canonized
in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, Ecuador's first and patron saint), was established by
the Sisters of Santa Mariana de Jesús, a congregation founded in 1873 by Blessed
Mercedes de Jesús Molina y Ayala (1828-1883, aka the Rose of Guayas).
The flag of the institute is divided white-pink along the ascending diagonal.
White is a symbol of the virtue and purity of St. Mariana of Jesus. Pink is a
symbol of the virtue, innocence, joy, and dedication of Blessed Mercedes de
Jesús Molina y Ayala, the Rose of Guayas.

The Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil is located in
Guayaquil. A description of the
university flag and logo, which is displayed on the flag, and
also a color photograph of the flag, can all be seen at <www.ucsg.edu.ec>.
The university flag is almost identical to the Papal
or Vatican flag, with the exception that the University Logo
is positioned where the Papal tiara and Crossed Keys are on the
Papal flag.

There's also a pennant, termed an "estandarte," on
the same page. Translated: "In the inaugural ceremony of the
main building, the archbishop monsignor Manuel de Jesús Serrano
Abad blessed the standard, that is a symbol of triangular form
with the cross of Santiago, patron of the city and school, which
expresses what the university hopes for its members: faith pure
and uncontaminated, fidelity to the traditions that it demands,
gratitude to conscience as opposed to circumstance of life. The
emblem presides over the official acts that are celebrated in the
university.
The flag, a bicolor with vertical bands of white and yellow, was
approved officially by the University Council on the 13 of June
of 1977. Since then it flies on campus every memorial day and
every Monday next to the flags of Ecuador and Guayaquil."

On July 31 I saw this
image
from the local newspaper
El Ciudadano showing three flags, from left to right: UFE 1,
Ecuador, UFE 2. Since the news was reported by the
newspaper in Quito, Pichincha
Province, I thought that one of the two UFE's might be of the city of
Quito, or the Pichincha
Province, but clearly it is not the case. The news was a conference by the
Ecuadorian Procurador (Ombudsman) regarding the process of money laundering in
Amsterdam, Netherlands. Then again, checked the
Amsterdam flag, and again, it does not match any of the two UFE's in the
picture mentioned above.
However, looking at the government entity mentioned in the article, Procuraduría
General del Estado (States's General Ombudsman), its symbols do not match either
of the two UFE's.
The last entity mentioned in the article is the CONCLA (Consejo Nacional contra
el Lavado de Activos, National Council Against Money Laundering), so one of the
two unidentified flags could be of this government organization, but I am not
quite sure.

To the right, the closest thing I can come up with is maybe the flag of the
Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil. The logo of the school is located
at http://www2.ucsg.edu.ec/ and a closeup
is at http://osum.sun.com/group/ucsg.

The university was established in 1651 and has its seat in Quito but
dependencies in the country, especially also on the Galapagos Islands.
The normal dark blue outdoor flag has a ratio of approx. 1:2 with the seal
centred. The president's banner is red, divided by a blue bend sinister with the
seal centred and has golden fringes at three sides.
The seal has a golden circumscription in a white bordure fimbriated golden. The
circumscription is in golden initials "UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DEL ECUADOR" (above)
and "FUNDADA EN 1651" (below, smaller) "QUITO" (below, slightly bigger,2nd
line). In a blue field is a rectangular "French" shield divided per fess into
yellow over green. Above is a red bonfire, fimbriated golden, lighted by four
golden stems. Beneath are a white closed book, a white pen and a white compass,
all fimbriated golden. Above the shield are 14 golden stars, either ordered in
alongside an invisible circle or oval. The shield is flanked by a white scroll
fimbriated golden with a Latin inscription In golden initials “OMNIUM POTENTIOR
EST SAPIENTIA” (wisdom is mightier than everything(?)).

Universidad San Francisco de Quito (St. Francis University of
Quito) is a Roman Catholic institution located in the capital of
Ecuador. I have received an e-mail from the Sub-Assistente en la
Oficina del Rectorado, in reply to a request for information
concerning a possible university flag, which informs me that the
logo which appears on the university
web site, has actually recently 'evolved into a squarely
shaped banner type of flag at the suggestion of one of the
Profesores who said to the Rector that because this logotipo
looks like a flag why is it not made into a flag.
