OFFICERS 2001 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS (P.A.LA.)

DATE FOUNDED
Groundwork for the organization of the Philippine Association of
EFREN A. AURELIO Landscape Architects was laid sometime in 1964 by the four LA's,
President namely Dolly Q. Perez, Ildefonso P. Santos, Jesse M. Sison and
Anselmo Alquinto. Due to lack of membership, it remained
dormant until 1968 when the same group made an effort to expand

its membership to include others engaged in other forms of

Vice-President landscape like designing and contracting. However, after several
friendly meetings, the professionals withdrew from the idea,
foreseeing some complications later on in separating the
MAXIMO F. CACAPIT professional from the contractor.
Treasurer
Only upon receipt of notification of the IFLA Conference did the
Landscape Architects get together again, after 13 years of building
SUSAN AQUINO-ONG up their respective practices with hardly any communication among
them. An interest to pick up where they left the PALA in 1964 was
Secretary renewed, considering that more qualified landscape architects had
returned from studies abroad, plus the increasing number of
DIRECTORS: graduates from UP also provided the number necessary to form an
organization. Therefore, with the encouragement and valuable
assistance from Mr. Zvi Miller of the IFLA and Mr. Campbell Miller
MONA C. SAN GABRIEL of ASLA, nine Landscape Architects met at the Architectural
Center to formally establish the Philippine Association of
Landscape Architects on December 8, 1977.

PALA TODAY
The existence of PALA thes past 22 years, under the able
GIONANNI G. HOJILLA leadership of IP Santos, Dolly Perez, Carlito Pesons, Ace Dimanlig,
Zeny Galingan, Doy Dizon, Cecile Herras, Cliff Peronilla and Paulo
Alcazaren, has been marked by several events that helped trigger
the awareness for Landscape Architecture. Seminars and
CECILIA H. TENCE workshops have been held in various venues and attended by
Ex-Officio multi-sectoral representatives. The 1989 IFLA Convention was
held in Manila.

The recent requirement of conducting Continuing Professional

Education courses has paved the way for a more comprehensive
approach to practicing Landscape Architects in that the various
topics presented have offered new and innovative views and
technologies. A number of PALA members have had the chance
to present papers in IFLA Conventions abroad. Another positive

of the industry to include the academic, real estate development,
