CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON HB 10234 (PHILIPPINE ARCHITECTURE ACT OF 2022)

2012-04-172
 1. WHAT IS YOUR STAND AS A STUDENT IN THE 10234?

NO TO HB 10234 THE ACT ELEVATING THE REGULATION AND PRACTICE OF

ARCHITECTURE IN THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT REALLY ELEVATING IT RATHER
REMOVING THE SAID PROFESSION OR OUR PROFESSION

WE TRUST OUR BELLWETHERS AND WE KEN THEY ARE MAKING THE OBLIGATORY
STEPS NAMAN TO ADDRESS OR AMELIORATE THIS ONE. WE ARE JUST ABAFT YOU
AND WILL RALLY WITH YOU TO WHATEVER ACTIONS YOU WILL TAKE.

2. WHAT ARE THE KEY POINTS IN THE BILL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED?

“AN ACT ELEVATING THE REGULATION AND PRACTICE OF ARCHITECT IN THE

PHILIPPINE REPEALING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 2966 AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES”

WE VISUALLY PERCEIVE NOTHING ERRONEOUS WITH ASCENDING THE PRACTICE OF

ARCHITECTURE. WHO DOESN'T OPTATE US TO AMELIORATE FURTHER, RIGHT?
ECUMENICAL PRACTICE? AFFIRMATIVE, WE OPTATE THAT. THE QUESTION OF ARE
WE COMPETITIVE ENOUGH? HMM THAT’S AUTHENTICALLY HARD TO ANSWER.

ISN'T THAT THE PURPORT OF THE CPD LAW? THOSE WHO CAN ASCEND THE
COMPETENCE OF LICENSED PROFESSIONALS? CAN'T WE AMELIORATE THERE? AND
WE BELIEVE THERE WILL BE THIS VOCATION PROGRESSION AND GAINING LEVEL OF
ARCHITECTS AS DISCUSSED IN ONE SEMINAR BY AR. MIRAFUENTE. WE BELIEVE
THAT'S A GAME CHANGER IN ECUMENICAL COMPETENCY. THERE ARE TANGIBLE
RESULTS IN EXERTING EFFORTS TO PURSUE A HIGHER CALIBER OF TRAINING,
STUDIES, OR EXPERIENCE.

C. OF THE NINE MEMBERS, ONE (1) SHALL BE REGISTERED AND LICENSED CIVIL
ENGINEER NOMINATED BY THE PROFESSIONAL REGULATORY BOARD OF CIVIL
ENGINEERING AND CHOSEN BY THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE MANNER
OUTLINE IN THIS ARCHITECT AND PROMULGATED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
PHILIPPINES

D. OF THE NINE REMEMBERS ONE (1) SHALL BE A REGISTERED AND LICENSED

INTERIOR DESIGNER NOMINATED BY THE PROFESSIONAL REGULATORY BOARD OF
INTERIOR DESIGN AND CHOSEN BY THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE MANNER
OUTLINED IN THIS ARTICLE AND PROMULGATED THE PRESIDENT OF THE
PHILIPPINES

ASSOCIATES AND PARTNERSHIP TO ENHANCE AND LET ADEPTNESS IN

MANAGEMENT TO EMERGE LICENSE OR NOT LICENSE LET TO RUN AS LONG
PRACTICING CONSULTANCY IS LICIT, TOO INUNDATE LET ARCHITECT TO LEAD THE
REGIME NOT BY PLANS AND ARTIST RENDER BECAUSE THAT CONSTRAINED ONLY
FOR UNDER GRADUATE.

2. WITHIN NINE DAYS OF APPLICATION MAKE THE REQUISITE ENDORSEMENT TO THE

CHED TECHNICAL COMMITTEE, WHICH MUST CONCUR WITH THE BOARD'S FINDINGS
WITHIN THREE DAYS FROM THE BOARD ENDORSEMENT AND

3. ISSUE THE PERMIT TO TAKE THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER
THE CHED TECHNICAL COMMITTEE CONCURRENCE

E: HAS COMPLETED THREE THOUSAND NINE THUNDERED HOURS OF DIVERSIFIED

ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE WITH INCREASING LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY
UNDER SUPERVISION OR MENTORSHIP OF REGISTERED AND LICENSED ARCHITECTS
OR ENGINEERS WHICH INCLUDED REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE IN THE PRACTICE AREA

IN THE ABOVE SECTION THIS CAN BE GOOD IF IMPLEMENTED CONGRUOUSLY IN

EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF APPRENTICESHIP. AN EXTRA 60 HOURS WOULDN’T HURT
MUCH FROM 3,840 TO 3,900 HOURS. BUT DOES THE LINE “ARCHITECTS OR
ENGINEERS” MEAN THEY CAN BE ALTERNATING? OR BOTH JUST DEPENDING ON THE
AREA OF EXPERIENCE?

HOWEVER, THREE YEARS AFTER EFFECTIVITY OF THIS ACT A CANDIDATE SHALL BE

CONSIDERED TO HAVE PASSED THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION WHEN HE OR SHE
HAS OBTAINED A WEIGHTED GENERAL AVERAGE OF SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT WITH
NO GRADE LOWER THAN SIXTY FIVE PERCENT IN ANY GIVEN SUBJECT AND ALSO
APPLICANT WHO FAIL TO PASS THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION THREE TIMES SHALL
NOT LONGER BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE EXAM

ON THE INCREMENTATION FROM 70% TO 75% OF THE PASSING GRADE IS THIS FOR
ARCHITECTS ONLY OR WILL THIS WITHAL BE IMPLEMENTED TO OTHER LICENSURE
EXAMS OF OTHER PROFESSIONALS?
APPLICANTS WHO FAIL TO PASS THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION THREE (3) TIMES
SHALL NO LONGER BE SANCTIONED TO TAKE THE EXAM. WAIT? IS THIS THE
ECUMENICAL STANDARD OF OTHER COUNTRIES THAT IF YOU FAIL 3X THERE IS NO
MORE

WOULDN’T THIS ENGENDER MORE ILLICIT PRACTITIONERS IN THE TERMINUS? NOT

SO MUCH BETTER HOW CAN WE FURTHER AVAIL AMEND CANDIDATES TO PASS? OR
LET’S REEXAMINE OUR EXAMS? IS IT GENUINELY A QUANTIFICATION IF YOU ARE
GOOD IF YOU ONLY TAKE 1 TAKE? WE DON’T KEN.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE FOLLOWINGS STRUCTURE DO NOT REQUIRE

THE SIGNATURE OR SEAL OF A REGISTERED AND LICENSED ARCHITECT

TO MINIMIZE OUR SCOPE FURTHER NO. SHOULD THE ARCHITECT ONLY HAVE
OPULENT PROJECTS? IS THAT HOW IT SHOULD BE? SHOULDN'T OUR ROLE CATER TO
ALL SPECTRUM OF THE MACROCOSM? ARE WE BEING EXCLUSIVE AGAIN HERE?

NOTHING HERIN CONTAINED SHALL PRECENT ANYPERSON FROMPREPARING

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS DESIGNING OR DIRECTING THE DESIGNING OF
BUILDING FOR THEIR POSANL USE OR FOR THAT OF THIS OR HER FAMILY UNLESS
BUILDINGS ARE FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT ASSEMBLY OR OTHER OCCUPANCIES BY
THE PUBLIC IN WHICH AN ARHICTECT SHALL BE EMPLYED FOR THE PURPOSE

SO IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN HOUSE, IT'S NORMAL D.I.Y AS WELL AS PREPARING
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. BECAUSE ONLY THE ARCHITECT SHOULD BE ELITIST?
FOR WITH MAZUMA? JUST FOR BIGTIME PROJECTS?

B. JURISDICTION:

1. THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURE SHALL HAVE NO JURISDICTION OVER ANY

PERSON WHO IS NOT A RETIRED ARCHITECT

2. THE BOARD MAY NOT DON CUT ANY ADMINISTRATE OR DISCIPLINARY

PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT A REGISTER ARCHITECT

3. THE BOARD MAY CONDUCT A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OR OTHERWISE THE

RESULTS OF WHICH AFTER APPROVAL BY THE COMMISSION FOR RELEASE MAY BE
USED TO ABSOLVE OR CHARGE A PERSON FOR THE CRIMINAL VIOLATION OF THIS
ACT

THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURE HAS NO POTENCIES TO MAKE COMPLAINTS OR FILE

CASES AGAINST ILLICIT PRACTITIONERS? OR WHEN YOU FILE WITH THEM THEY NO
LONGER VERBALLY EXPRESS? TO WHOM? PRC? BUT THE BOARD IS UNDER PRC
RIGHT?

AND ON THE SECTION 45 THE INTEGRATION OF ARCHITECT PROFESSION

SO HERE THE ANTI UAP ARE ECSTATIC OR DON'T OPTATE UAP BEING THE IAPOA. SO
WILL THE UAP BE ABSTRACTED AS THE IAPOA RIGHT? THEN ENGENDER AN
INCIPIENT ORGANIZATION AGAIN? KASI? WILL HE MAKE IT QUASI PUBLIC MEANING
THE REGIME HAS CONTROL OVER IT? HMMM MAYBE THAT WILL BE MORE POLITICAL?
AND ANYTHING WITH A PHYSICAL CONTACT OF REGIME, IT SEEMS HOMOGENEOUS
TO WE HAVE A FEW “TRUST ISSUES” LIKE THAT.

WILL THIS BE THE CASE SO HE WILL DO IT ONLY TO OTHER PROFESSIONALS OR TO

ARCHITECTS?

3. WHAT IS/ARE THE JUST AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS OR ALTERNATIVE TO

THIS BILL?

ACT PROVIDING FOR A MORE RESPONSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION FOR

THE REGISTRATION, LICENSING AND PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTURE REPEALING AND
THAT IS RA. 2966
