The United Architects of the Philippines, led by its National President Ar. Donat o B. Magcale, and Past National President Ar. Benjamin K. Panganiban, Jr., recently met with Building Officials from the local government units of Dumaguete City, Manjuyod, Bais City, Valencia, and Sibulan in Negros Oriental. They discussed the implementation of the SC decision (GR Nos. 200015 & 205846) to their immediate constituents through the Memorandum Circular No. 01 with the National Building Code Development Office of the Department of Public Works and HIghways (DPWH-NBCDO) and the recent advisory from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

As of this writing, 103 LGUs across the country have already started implementing the Supreme Court ruling for their constituents. This is a great leap towards ensuring the proper duty of licensed and registered architects to sign and seal architectural documents in projects.
