Urgent and Special Concerns:

addressing the continuing illegal practices by firms and individuals, acts by
other state-regulated professions to co-opt the practice of architecture, etc.;
2) formalization of the integration of the profession, the IAPOA structure/
organization and its relationship with the other architectural organizations;
3) the Standards of Professional Practice;
4) the GATS, APEC Architect Registry and ASEAN MRA;
5) the CPE/ CPD program;

No. 344, P.D. No. 957, B.P. No. 220, R.A. No. 9184, R.A. No. 7160, etc.)
and their IRRs/ derivative regulations;
