WHEREAS, Section 7(g), Art. II of R.A.

WHEREAS, the Board has already adopted and promulgated the Code of Ethical Conduct through Resolution No. 02, series of 2006, leaving the matter of the Standards of Professional Practice pending;
WHEREAS, in mid-2004, the Integrated and Accredited Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA), with the full assistance of the Board, embarked on an effort to update and amend/repeal the 1979 Standards of Professional Practice, which was known as “UAP Documents 201 through 208”;
WHEREAS, under a separate Board Resolution, the said 1979 Standards of Professional practice became part of the implementing rules and regulations of the repealed architecture law, R.A. No. 545, as amended by R.A. No. 1581;
WHEREAS, over the last six (6) years, both the Board and the IAPOA have continued to interdependently, symbiotically, and synergistically collaborate with each other their progressive efforts to amend/repeal the 1979 Standards of Professional Practice, conducting many meetings, conferences, and broad-based consultations in the process, and culminating to the issuance of this resolution with its annex: the new/updated Standards of Professional Practice; and
WHEREAS, after 31 years, there is now an urgent and important need to finally prescribe and promulgate the new updated Standards of Professional Practice for Architects;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board RESOLVES, as it is hereby RESOLVED, by virtue of the powers vested upon the Board to prescribe the new/updated Standards of Professional Practice for Architects as supplemental implementing rules and regulations of R.A. No. 9266 and as integral part of herein resolution as Annex “A”* thereto;
FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the determination of the corresponding Architect’s Fees be stated in detail under the Architect’s Guidelines for SPP Compliances (the Architect’s Guidelines), which shall be crafted by the IAPOA, with the Board’s assistance; and that the said Architect’s Guidelines be an official IAPOA issuance to be observed by all IAPOA Members;
FURTHERMORE, RESOLVED, that, immediately upon completion and subsequent dissemination of the said Architect’s Guidelines, the IAPOA must embark on the crafting of the Manual of Procedure for SPP Compliances (the Manual of Procedure), which shall similarly be an official IAPOA issuance to be observed by all IAPOA Members.
FINALLY, RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall take effect after fifteen (15) days following the full and complete publication thereof in the Official Gazette or any major daily newspaper of national circulation in the Philippines.
