On February 23, 1921, Act No. 2985 was enacted. This was an act to regulate the practice of the professions of engineer and architect in the country.

By the virtue of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce and Communication was empowered to appoint the members of the boards of the architecture and engineering profession. Having read the original conditions of the said law made me understood the clear delineations of roles and professional functions of both professions. The 100 years anniversary is not just for us Architects to celebrate alone but with other engineering professions as well. We, Architects and Engineers, should be proud celebrating this milestone together. The creation of this law gave us all a chance to be good servants in building our own country. To help building and re-building it for betterment. We should be united once again. We should be one in purpose, one in spirit. Let not pride, arrogance nor greed continued to fester the supposedly harmonious relationship of both profession. Let us all make a difference not in dividing what was built and unified by our ancestors hundreds of years ago. We stood firm to be of a noble professionals. We are one in heart, one in passion, one in purpose. A one true Filipino Architect.
