GUIDELINES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE

UAP-IAPOA CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING

A. OVERVIEW

Under Section 40 of Republic Act No. 9266, otherwise known as “The Architecture Act of 2004”, an architect duly registered with the Board shall automatically become a member of the Integrated and Accredited Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA) and shall receive the benefits and privileges provided for and described in its by-laws upon payment of the required fees and dues. By virtue of PRBOA Resolution No. 03, s. 2004, the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) became the Integrated and Accredited Organization for Architects. The 2009 UAP By-Laws duly approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides the general guidelines and the framework for the operations of the organization.

In 2005, the Professional Regulatory Board of Architecture (PRBoA) issued Resolution No. 02, s. 2005, which requires Registered and Licensed Architects (RLAs) to submit their valid certificates of UAP membership and Official Payment Receipts for the annual/lifetime membership dues as a prerequisite for the Issuance of the Certificates of Registration and Professional Identification Cards as Architect and for the renewal of the foregoing Cards. Further, the PRC issued Resolution No. 465, s. 2008 which requires all professionals to submit a Certificate of Good Standing from the Accredited Professional Organization as a requirement for the renewal of the Professional Identification Cards. The maintenance of good standing status of member professionals is to be attained by attending duly accredited CPE courses from duly accredited CPE Providers to ensure their competitiveness in the light of liberalization of trade in services under the 4th Protocol of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) pursued by the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the ASEAN where the Philippines is an active member.

Since the mandatory requirement for CPE is far from a settled issue in as much as R.A. 9266 provides specifically that the CPE is not a mandatory requirement for the renewal of the professional license of architects, the UAP-IAPOA, with the concurrence of the PRBOA and the PRC, redefined the conditions for members to be of good standing that could, one way or another, address the State Policy on ensuring the sustained development of professionals and the maintenance of high professional, ethical and technical standards in order to be globally competitive.

The 2009 UAP By-Laws defines the basic duties and responsibilities of a regular member and classifies members according to status of membership. As a private entity, the UAP is free to prescribe qualifications for continued membership in the organization. Being a private, non-stock corporation, the UAP has the right to adopt rules prescribing the mode and manner by which membership can be obtained or maintained (Ruben Ladia, The Corporation Code Annotated [2001], p. 378). It is in this context that these guidelines are formulated.

B. DEFINITION OF MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING

A member in good standing shall be defined as a member who:

1. Has paid the UAP national annual membership dues and other fees;

2. Has complied with other basic duties and responsibilities of a member; and

3. Has earned a minimum of 20 participation points annually through involvement in official UAP national and/or local activities (please refer to the table at the right side)

C. CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING

A Certificate of Good Standing shall be issued by the UAP for its members who have complied with the above requirements and considered as a member in good standing for the current fiscal year. This certificate can be used by the member for the application for renewal of professional licenses as required by the PRC and for such other purposes it may serve.
