- RA 10698 – RA 10698a
November 17, 2015 marks another milestone for Filipino naval architects and the practice of naval architecture in the Philippines. President Benigno S. Aquino III has signed into law the act modernizing the profession. Five decades have passed since 1965 when the original law was promulgated. This law is also in support of the Continuing Professional Development policy of the national government for all professions.
This endeavour will never become a reality without the whole-hearted and dedicated work of Cong. Jess Manalo of ANGKLA Party-list with the support of both Houses of Congress led by Senate President Franklin M. Drilon and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte and the Committee on Professions.
The passage of this law will serve as the modern regulatory framework for the practice of the profession that will lead in further strengthening the practice of our naval architecture profession and continuos upgrading of the competency of the members of the Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers, Inc. (SONAME)
Mabuhay ang SONAME!
Mabuhay ang ANGKLA!
