The two-day regional conference of members of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines Inc., that started yesterday in Dumaguete City will take up loopholes in the signing and sealing of plans, drawings and technical designs. The law says it is illegal for a Professional Electrical Engineer to sign and seal drawings and designs that are done by others. The practice can be a sufficient ground for revocation of the electrical engineer's license for unprofessional and dishonorable conduct. More than 200 electrical engineers from Eastern and Central Visayas are attending the conference hosted by Wilfredo Canizares, to enhance their skills and be updated on recent trends in the electrical engineering profession. The IIEE is also celebrating its 40 th anniversary, on the theme “A Journey of Service for Excellence”. During the conference, Canizares said that a proposed amendment to the New Electrical Engineering Law, or Republic Act 7920, will be presented to the members, for comments, suggestions or revisions, and will then be presented to Congress for the drafting of a new law.

Hey.......... are those the same electrical engineers that are responsible for erecting the unbelievable 'spaghetti" tangled mess of wiring we see about Duma, that consistently break and fall to the ground, including the leaning towers of Pizza poles that barely support them ?.......?
Give them a brownout through out the whole conference.... HOW... easy just turn off the lights switches... too simple they will never figure that as the problem. They will just get out their bamboo ladders and pair of pillars and attack the problem.
Well DENR for one is hanging tough regarding expansion at Silliman Hospital...the new wing has been delayed at least 6 months because of waiting for a permit to chop down a tree that's in the way..
While it sounds like a stupid law, I actually like that it is enforced. I have visited many city in the Philippines that have absolutely no trees and every single one of those cities is a disgusting, hot, polluted sh*t hole. They need to keep as many trees around as possible!
Particularly in Valencia the tree cover helps cool the air as well as the higher elevation of the area.
There are much worse out there than Dumaguete. I generally avoid going out during the day regardless of where I am in the Philippines.
