CIVIL ENGINEERS’ SOCIETY

A degree in civil engineering qualifies a person to

work as a structural engineer or environmental engineer
as well as a city manager or planner. A degree in
construction engineering allows an individual to work as
a civil engineer in the construction industry or as a
construction manager, construction project manager or
manager of a group of engineers who work on
construction projects. A civil engineer has a wider range
of career possibilities, while the construction engineer is
primarily employed in the construction industry.

PICE History (Excerpt from PICE Website)

On December 11, 1973, the Securities and

Exchange Commission issued Registration
Certificate No.53896 to the PHILIPPINE
INSTITUTE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS, INC. (PICE).
This was the culmination and fulfillment of a
vision to merge two separate organizations
of civil engineers in the country, the
Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE)
and the Philippine Association of Civil
Engineers (PACE).

The Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE) was

formed sometime in the late twenties by a group of
civil engineers mostly from the government sector. It
was the country’s first civil engineering organization
with the late Engr. Marcial Kasilag as its first president.
Engr. Kasilag holds the No.1 slot in the PRC Registry of
Civil Engineers. He then occupied a high-ranking
position in the government and the early members of
PSCE were government engineers. There were relatively
few civil engineers in private practice during that time
as most of the early graduates were readily engaged
by the various government agencies.

In 1937, another group of civil engineers in the

private sector, led by Enrique Sto. Tomas Cortes
formed the Philippine Association of Civil Engineers
(PACE). Mr. Cortes was its first president. The major
objectives of both associations were similar: to
elevate the standards of the profession, encourage
research and engineering knowledge and
technology, foster fellowship among members, and
promote interrelation with other technological and
scientific societies.

The Philippine Association Civil Engineers (PACE)

proved to be the more active between the two
groups and this resulted to the transfer of many PSCE
members to PACE. PACE, under the leadership of
President Alberto Guevarra, was mainly responsible
for the passage of Republic Act No. 544 otherwise
known as the “Civil Engineering Law” in 1950. It was a
milestone in establishing prestige and safeguarding
the interest of the civil engineering profession in the
country.

It was sometime in 1972 under the administration of the

late PACE President Cesar A. Caliwara when more
serious effort was exerted to merge the two societies.
Panel representatives were designated by both
organizations to convene and start a series of talk.
Leading members of PACE and PSCE, Eduardo
Escobar, Pedro Afable, Angel Lazaro, Jr., Andres Hizon,
Ambrosio Flores, Tomas de Guzman, Lucas Agbayani,
to mention a few were involved in the negotiation. The
choice of a new name, formal accounting and
turnover of assets and liabilities, accreditation of
bonafide members and election rules for the first
officers were some of the concerns that were sooner
resolved.

Finally, an election of the first officers and directors of the

Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers, Inc. (PICE) was held
sometime in February 1974 and Cesar A. Caliwara became
the first President. During his term, the first International
convention was held in the Philippines on May 20 to 24,1975
with the theme ” Civil Engineering in Disaster Prevention
Control.” Proceedings in this convention were published into a
book and sold to members and public. Also, the drive to
organize provincial chapters was intensified in order to truly
unite the civil engineers of the country. Another historical
milestone was the accreditation (no. 007) of PICE by the
Professional Regulation Commission on August 13, 1975 as the
only official recognized organization of civil engineers in the
Philippines.
