Hello po! Baka may alam po kayong architectural firms sa Baguio or Pampanga na hiring ng Architecture Apprentice. Fresh graduate po ako ng BS Architecture and desperately looking for a job opportunity.

Kahit small firms po, willing to apply and learn. If may alam po kayong hiring or may referrals, please comment or message me. I would really appreciate any leads. Gusto ko na po talaga makapagsimula ng apprenticeship. 🥹

Thank you so much po!

Hello po ask lang po naka dalawang company po ako during apprenticeship may guide po ba paano gawin ang log book na dalawa amg signed Mentor.

maraming salamat po

Hello! LEA january 2027 is just around the corner. Malayo pa pero feels like sobrang lapit na hahaha. Would like to ask how’s ur review so far? Mine is parang sobrang behind pa ako compared sa mga classmates ko. Ang dami ko pang need habulin and hindi pa ako nagbabasa or nagkakabisado. Am I still on the right track or dapat kabahan na? Hahaha 🥲

i recently applied to JJA Bespoke. has anybody worked at this firm?

Saw this post on FB, but it was deleted. Maybe someone has already found it.

For me, with a 215 sqm lot size, let's say a conservative estimate of 70% buildable area, a 2-storey house, and ₱40k/sqm for standard finish only.

Estimated total construction price (TCP) would be around ₱12M. The industry standard rate is 10% for professional fees, which should be ₱1.2M, but the offer is only ₱100k–₱130k.

I mean, I understand that the economy isn't performing well, but for me, if you can't afford to have it designed, then don't start building yet. Save up first.

There is no way a decent architect will accept this offer, but you will be surprised that so many commented they are willing to help the OP. It's kind of discouraging because those architects are also the reason why our industry is no longer rewarding.

Your thoughts?

Hi any architect or firm you guys know who has a vernacular arki bg?

Hi, fellow architects!

I passed the ALE in January 2026 and paid for my IAPOA shortly after. However, I haven’t joined any UAP chapter yet. My membership status initially showed “Affiliation Process” on my IAPOA.

Recently, I checked my UAP account and realized that my initial payment was actually for the 2025–2026 membership year. Apparently, I need to pay another ₱600 for the 2026–2027 membership year.
The thing is, I still haven’t affiliated with any chapter because I’ve been busy working in the corporate world and haven’t had the chance to process my chapter membership.

I’d like to ask those who have gone through the same process:
Do I need to become a member of a UAP chapter first and pay the chapter membership fees before I can settle my national dues for 2026–2027? Or can I pay the national dues first and process my chapter affiliation afterward?

I’d appreciate any advice or clarification regarding the process. Thank you!

Hi any architect or firm you guys know who has a vernacular arki bg???? Desperately need it for our seminarrrr

Hello, I just want any insights you could give me regarding this company to those na nakapag work na here? kamusta ang culture and environment?

meron ba talagang career shifters dito na hindi talaga aligned sa arki / creatives yung naging career? like none of that BIM, project management, CAD drafter, real estate, graphic design, sales architect, and so on

kasi sa threads na career shifting puro yan yung shift na nababanggit pero feel ko adjacent padin lahat yan sa arki ahu

speak up into the mic 🎤 cuz i have been feeling lost after graduation… and im not sure if i still wanna pursue it

Hi! May nakaka alam po ba dito pano nag wowork yung water tank for a bungalow house na hindi naman nakakaranas ng mahinang flow. Ang purpose lang is mag store ng water. Dadaan sakanya yung main, then store, filter and supply sa bahay. Kailangan paba ng pump? And sa understanding ko, yung tank dapat may floating device to indicate na puno na siya from main, and mag shushut yung valve. Tama ba pagkakaintindi ko? Not a master plumber 😅 need advice para ma installan yung bahay ng parents, para ready rin in case of el niño. Thank you!

What can you say about professionalism and the Code of Ethics of architects when a licensee is involved in this kind of controversy?

Hi! So I just got offered a job from a developer with various developments, more on residential and also commercial. Would like to know what is the difference since I came from a design build firm on my apprenticeship. I am the first and only architect and probably be surrounded with engineers and businessmen. Would like to know the difference in terms of workload, how they handle things, etc.? Thanks
