2023 ALE 02

The University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) architecture graduates continued their 100%-passing achievement in the June 2023 Architecture Licensure Examination (ALE) with 26 new licensed architects.

The Professional Regulation Commission and the Board of Architecture released the result of the ALE on June 15, 2023.

Architect and Prof. Isidoro Malaque III, the chairperson of the UPMin Department of Architecture, expressed his reaction to the result. “It was exciting that our takers maintained the 100%-passing rate,” he said.     

The UPMin Department of Architecture has continuously achieved a 100%-passing rate for many years. It has produced ten board top notchers, as well. For this reason, the BS Architecture program has had the biggest student intake in recent years. 

The architecture students were helped by the Architecture Instructional Examination (AIEX), a mock board exam developed by the department, which has been revived and conducted again after having been discontinued during the pandemic.

UPMin's newly-licensed architects are Andrea Faye G. Adlawan, Joseph Dave P. Agustin, Tim Andre D. Atega, John Elmar R. Bebelone, Denise Louise M. Boiser, Frances Ianelle L. Campo, Lou Kimberly L. Colon, Cserah Marl G. Enano, Pauline S. Gabayan, Katya Claude E. Gojar, Reina Arantxa B. Gomez, Hazel U. Jumawan (magna cum laude, 2020), Awit J. Ledesma, Nicole Kate B. Maceda, Kimberlyn Faith M.

Urban voids in a city center or poblacion are a problem that can be viewed as a potential for development. The local government could provide solutions for these urban voids to positively impact a town’s poblacion district. It could increase socio-economic activity and attract more investors within the abundant commercial and institutional areas. 

Mr. Karl Wendel C. Magno gave these insights in his thesis, “Uncovering the Potential of Urban Voids in Davao City: An Analysis of the Poblacion District.”

 The unutilized, underutilized, and abandoned land areas in a poblacion are types of urban voids. These are created by natural, geographical, political, economic, or sociocultural factors. High imposed taxes and community disputes are common causes of urban voids. He said that the majority of these factors arise from lapses between the community and the local barangay councils and may be solved through coordination and planning. 

He also recommended that local stakeholders study the ecological dynamics between the living inhabitants, the spaces, and buildings, how these elements co-exist, and their relevance to each other. 

Magno was one of the five presenters at the Research Colloquium 2023 of the Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning (MAURP) program conducted by the University of the Philippines Mindanao Department of Architecture on May 20, 2023, at UP Mindanao. Steven Adrianne M. Chua presented "Improving the Quality of Life in Phil. Navy On-site Housing," Vherna C. Comagon studied "The Effectiveness of Community-based Conservation in Agusan Marsh." Aisa C. Samson discussed "Disaster Preparedness of Existing Land Use in Tandag City," and Rachel Mae P. Sitcharon presented "Management Regimes and Sustainable Structural Dimensions of Floating Houses in Agusan Marsh."
