Lindsay Barrientos Outgoing President's Message _ @ “THOUGHTS g sboooedd De Castro by Lara Togono1 Fouuard, ErP! Two years in the life PIEP have flown by so quickly. I look back at this time with @ grateful heart, and thank the members for their passion and concern for our organization. We stepped into our positions ata pivotal time in our profession: the world foces greater, accelerated, and more complex chollenges. At the same time, the profile of the EnP is shifting and ushering great potential; in the past two years we hove welcomed more members from outside Metro ‘Manila, ond more from local government than ever before. ‘Our main task was to prepare PIEP as a sustainable, secure platform for this growth. As such, ‘much energy was focused on training aspiring professionals, as well as continuing professional development. We also put extra effort in developing chapters, and in enlivening the ways through which members engage with one another. By diversifying communication channels, more people—EnP and non-EnP alike—can gain access to PIEP and have a better appreciation of our value as professionals. Beyond this, we realized the importance of partnerships, and established links with the academe, government, and private sector partners. We trust that this collaborative environment will prosper beyond our term, and will lead to a more vibrant community of planners. There are other milestones that the other outgoing directors can readily share. These were ‘matched equally by the challenges we faced, which were difficult but never insurmountable and easily became "happy problems.” For this reason, | would like to express my gratitude to my {fellow directors for enduring the extremely rapid pace of wrk, and lending their individual brilliance to 0 common goal. Such boundless, intense energy could only come from a deeper understanding and love for PIEP. Our gratitude also goes out to members who help uplift our organization, to the pioneers who continue to shine a light on us with their generosity and wisdom, and to our tireless Secretariat. All your efforts now form part of the PIEP story that we are constantly building, one that we hope will help shape our society for the better. As part of this ongoing narrative, the 2015-2016 Board of Directors closes its chapter nat with o period, but a segue. In our final Board Resolution, we have committed the combined savings from ‘our term to critical development areas for 2017: 1) assistance in chapter formation and development; 2) copocity development especially for local government workers; 3) assistance to senior EnP, 4) research and publication, 5) an outreach program; and 6) investment in government bonds, the interest of which will be used for Secretariat operations. Such allotments aim to ensure sustainability in all aspects of our organization. Do watch out for more details, a the new Board begins a fresh chapter and executes these programs clong with their other plans. 11am confident that our new leaders can successfully steer PIEP forthe next two years. | also know that they can count on the continued support of members and partners. As forthe old Board, we hhope that our work in the past 24 months have set the stage for o bigger and better future for PIEP, and what we leave behind wil, a some small way, help improve not only our profession but Llsmarely the communities that we serve.

When we started out, there were 1,178 EnPs in 2014 licensed planners and by the time our term ended, the number had ‘grown exponentially to 1,898 EnPs in 2016! This is a true testament to the importance of our growing profession, We heard the calls for numerous board exams reviews and coaching sessions that were held in many different cities. Lastly, we participated in consultations with the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) for the development of a bachelor’s degree in the field, We have managed to encompass ‘educational issues for those who are already licensed, for those who intend on obtaining a license, and young students who may want to study and become part of our profession. It has indeed been an exhilarating but also a fruitful and much fulfilling ride. Follow us!

My heart is filled with gratitude, ‘and my mind with positive thoughts, as more and more EnPs become involved, inspired and ignited to make PIEP a catalyst for a sustainable and livable future.

Alarmed atthe inadequate provision 2s well asthe increasing loss of open space for the use and enjoyment ofthe general publi, especialy in the ‘face of rapid urbanization, PIEP and PALA have joined forces to specifically address this issue and have formed the Public Parks and Open Space (PP0S) ‘Advocacy Group Public parks and open spaces contribute to the ‘enhancement of the social, cultural, economic, environmental and politcal functions of towns and cities. They are the first elements that project the character ofa place from a chaotic and unplanned settlement to a more pleasant and well-managed city or town. In the Philippines, however, the value of public open spaces seems to be overlooked or underestimated by policymakers, local leaders, developers and even the general public. There ‘reo numberof reasons fr this such asthe lack of understanding or capacity to use the possibilities of public open spaces as a complet, mutt-functiona urban system. Compounding this problem include the inadequacy and lack of coherence among enabiing legislation, institutional fragmentation, and weak political will. The PPOS Advocacy Group's intial activity isthe formulation of guidelines on the supply, distribution, planning, design, funding, development, management and maintenance of public open spaces Thisis aimed toserve asa practical reference fr: (1) local governments to frame and implement policies and development initiatives on parks and open spaces; (2) national gowemment to aid ther efforts with entiing legislation and funding support; and (3) demonstrating the value ofthe involvement of people and local communities in securing, developing and managing pubic open spaces in their town or city. Formulation of the guidelines wil be through o series of participatory focus group discussions and stakeholder workshops, with PIEP and PALA members serving 0s technical resource persons and discussion facilitators.
