    The history of plumbing practice in the Philippines dates back to the 17th century when the Spanish established cities like Intramuros and incorporated European plumbing standards. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Filipino plumbers maintained and repaired plumbing systems in towns. At the turn of the 20th century, the arrival of Americans improved health standards and recognized plumbing as a trade. In 1902, John F. Hass became the first Chief of Plumbing in Manila, which became the model community. In 1935, NAMPAP was organized and helped establish the Department of Public Services in Manila to regulate plumbing through an adopted code based on the U.S.

    maintaining, repairing and/or remodeling plumbing systems in all "pueblos" or towns
    including churches, convents and government buildings.

    group to act as consultants of plumber journeymen on matters pertaining to plumbing
    installations in villas and mansions.

    government. The City of Manila was the model community. Master Plumber John F.
    Hass became the first Chief of the Division of Plumbing Construction and Inspection.
    Through the initiative of the Filipino Master Plumbers, a plumbing code based on
