Initial Adoption of Logbook for Diversified Experience
- The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), the accredited professional organization for architects, submitted Document No. 210 titled "Logbook of Diversified Experience in Architecture."
- The Board of Architecture approved and adopted this logbook through Board Resolution No. 2, Series of 1994, as a tool to document required experience.
Implementation of Mandatory Logbook Submission
- Despite the resolution, implementation of the diversified experience requirement was not previously enforced, as stated in Board Resolution No. 5, Series of 1993.
- The Board resolved to require the unconditional and mandatory submission of the logbook starting with the second licensure examination schedule in 1995.
Identified Need for Revision of Logbook
- The Board of Architecture recognized that the existing UAP Document No. 210 required revisions to improve its comprehensiveness and administrative utility.
- Specific revisions identified include:
- Inclusion of the total number of hours rendered by each candidate.
- Specification of the training period.
- Requirement for the mentor's signature, address, and UAP control number.
- Addition of a checklist of documents to facilitate application processing.
- Provisions for easier notification and improved administrative control.
Resolution and Request for Revised Logbook
- The Board formally requested the UAP to revise Document No. 210 to incorporate the suggested enhancements.
- A copy of the Board’s Resolution was to be furnished to the UAP President for implementation.
Formal Adoptions and Approvals
- The resolution was adopted on January 20, 2000, and signed by the Chairman and Board members of the Board of Architecture.
- It was attested by the Secretary of the Professional Regulatory Boards and approved by the Commission Chairman and Associate Commissioner.
