Our warmest greetings to you all!
I and the two (2) Members of the PRBoA , namely Architect ( Ar ) Angeline T. Chua
Chiaco and Ar Marietta B. Segovia , congratulate the new architects of the Republic, on having successfully hurdled the historic January 2010 licensure examination for architects ( LEA ), the first having full computer-processed results, finally satisfying the mandate under Republic Act
( R.A.
) No. 9266 ( The Architecture Act of 2004 ). After taking their Architect’s Oath today, they would be the newest Filipino registered & licensed architects ( RLA s), our successors and hopefully, our future Philippine architecture advocates as well.
It is the PRBoA ’s express wish that many areas of cooperation between the PRBoA and the RLAs shall continue to flourish in the remaining fiscal year and that these are kept evolving and moving forward in order to help attain our shared primary goal of the full implementation and enforcement of Republic Act No. 9266 ( The Architecture Act of 2004 ), a valid and subsisting law, its 2004 implementing rules and regulations (IRR) and derivative regulations, all of which are in full effect.
It is also the added wish of the PRBoA that it is able to receive the full, unqualified and continuing RLA support on the current and future PRBoA initiatives toward this end, in light of the many local and international developments on several fronts, all of which directly impact the architectural profession and the practice of the more than 25,000 registered architects ( RA s) situated all over the world. For the past several years, the services of the Filipino RLA has been in very high demand, a signal honor bestowed upon the Filipino architects, in recognition of their quality service and the premium value attached to their work. The PRBoA continues to hope that these matters may also be similarly appreciated on a progressive and continuing basis, by the
Philippine market for professional architectural services and by the Philippine government itself
(at all its levels).
Again, the PRBoA extends its felicitations and wishes of continuing success for the new
RLAs of the land , their guests and loved ones, their schools and their RLA -mentors (at both their academic and sub-professional levels prior to taking the LEA) and to all of You in attendance today!
May the Lord bless us all and the resurgent architecture profession as well!
Mabuhay po kayong lahat! Mabuhay ang mga Arkitektong Pilipino!!!

Warm greetings to you all!
I and the two (2) Members of the PRBoA , namely Architect ( Ar ) Angeline T.
Chua Chiaco and Ar Marietta B. Segovia , congratulate the United Architects of the
Philippines ( UAP ), the integrated and accredited professional organization of architects
( IAPoA ) under Republic Act ( R.A.
) No. 9266 (The Architecture Act of 2004), specifically its Convention Director, Ar Henry Steve R. Olonan ; the Executive Director for its Commission on Convention & Conferences, Ar Robert T. Ong ; and the National
President, Ar Ana S. Mangalino-Ling , on the occasion of the 36 th UAP National
Convention and Convention Exhibits ( ConEx ) 2010
, with the theme “
UAP: At the
Forefront of Green Building and Sustainability
”.
The PRBoA also extends its felicitations to the honored Guests and to the friends and supporters of all the UAP members in attendance.
To help protect our natural and built environments from the predatory, if not illegal development practices of unscrupulous entities who only aim to protect their selfish interests at the expense of higher public interest, the UAP and its general membership are doubly urged to be very participative at the local government unit (LGU) level so that the value of the UAP member can be properly appreciated by their host communities/LGUs. Always remember that registered and licensed architect ( RLA ) is the primary State-regulated professional who must lead in physical plan and design compliances with the Building Code (P.D. No. 1096), the Fire Code (R.A. No. 9514), the
Accessibility Law (B.P. No. 344) and related laws that are all intended to make residences, housing and buildings/structures safer, secure, healthy and survivable in times of disaster.
This may include not only the performance of voluntary civic activities, including advisory services on Green Buildings and Sustainable Design practices, that can considerably help in the improvement of the local natural and built environments
(possibly on a qualified gratis basis). This may even include the active involvement of the UAP or its Areas/Districts/Chapters or of any individual UAP Member as an official
Bid and Award Committee ( BAC ) Observer under R.A. No. 9184 (The 2003
Government Procurement Reform Act/ GPRA ) and its July 2009 IRR.
With the UAP as the IAPoA , it is the PRBoA
’s express and continuing desire that many more areas of cooperation between the PRBoA and the UAP , particularly through its National Board of Directs (NBD), its Executive Committee (ExCom) and its
Areas, Districts and Chapters, shall be opened (or shall remain open) in the remaining/upcoming UAP fiscal year/s, and that these are kept evolving and moving forward in order to help attain our shared primary goal of the full implementation and enforcement of R.A. No. 9266 , its implementing rules and regulations ( IRR ) and derivative regulations, particularly in light of our many recent and historic victories in arenas of public governance and administration of justice. It is also the continuing wish of the PRBoA that it shall be able to receive the full and continuing UAP support, locally and internationally, on the current and future PRBoA initiatives toward this end.
Again, the PRBoA
’s extends its wishes of continuing success to all of you in attendance! May the Lord bless us all and the resurgent architecture profession as well!

I and the two (2) Members of the PRBoA , namely Architect ( Ar ) Angeline T. Chua
Chiaco and Ar Marietta B. Segovia , congratulate the new architects of the Republic of the
Philippines, on having successfully hurdled the historic November 2009 foreign licensure examination for architects ( FLEA ) held at Al-Khobar and at Jeddah (Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia/KSA), the very first FLEA having full computer-processed results, finally satisfying the mandate under Republic Act ( R.A.
) No. 9266 ( The Architecture Act of 2004 ).
After officially reciting the Architect’s (or Professional’s) Oath today, they would then attain the full status of being a Philippine-registered & licensed architect ( RLA ).
Again, the PRBoA extends its felicitations and wishes of continuing success for the new
RLAs of the land , their guests and loved ones, their schools, their RLA -mentors (at both their academic and sub-professional levels prior to taking the LEA), their Middle East/KSA employers, co-workers, supporters and benefactors, and to all of You in attendance at today’s event!
