b) To exchange information in order to promote adoption of best practices on standards and qualifications. 2. 2.1 ASEAN Architect (AA) An Architect who possesses the qualifications and professional experience requirements specified in Part B of this Assessment Statement may apply to be registered in the ASEAN Architect Register (AAR) and accorded the title of ASEAN Architect (AA). Under the ASEAN MRA on Architectural Services, the Professional Regulatory Authority (PRA) of each participating ASEAN Member State or in the case of the Philippines, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) shall authorize a Monitoring Committee (MC) to receive and process applications of its Architects for registration as AA, and to maintain the AAR. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) made and entered into by and among the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), the ASEAN Monitoring Committee on Architectural Services of the Philippines (AMCASP) was created to serve the functions of the Monitoring Committee of the Philippines.
An AA of any other ASEAN Member State who wishes to provide professional architectural services in the Philippines shall register with the PRC, through AMCASP to be eligible as a Registered Foreign Architect (RFA). Purpose and Operation of the Assessment Statement The Assessment Statement provides the framework for the assessment of Architects for registration to the AAR by the AMCASP.

As the PRC has statutory responsibility to register and license a practitioner so as to protect the health, safety, the environment and welfare of the community within its jurisdiction, it may require an RFA seeking the right to practice to be subjected to some form of supplemental assessment which aims to determine that the RFA: a) b) c) fully understands the general principles behind applicable codes of practice and laws in the Philippines; has demonstrated a capacity to apply such principles safely and efficiently; and is familiar with other special requirements implemented within the Philippines.
