      This Society authored/published the "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other structures ASCE 7-2005"

      Life Member of the PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE of CIVIL ENGINEERS (PICE).

      TRAININGS:

      He had undergone TRAINING for NATIONAL BUILDING CODE of the Philippines: CIVIL/ STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS; STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS and DESIGN CALCULATIONS; Conducted/Sponsored by DPWH Central Office, Port Area, Maniila, Philippines on1995.

      PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND and EXPERIENCES:

      **HE HAD DEVELOPED SEVERAL MS-EXCEL SPREADSHEETS COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS using MOMENT DISTRIBUTION for STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS and DESIGN CALCULATIONS to make works easier for Structural Engineers and Design Engineer since 2006; A DESIGN TOOLS by ENGINEER for ENGINEERS.

      **His innate passion for Structural Engineering being a Practicing Engineer for almost 20 years. He focused his sights on acquiring for himself further education and more knowledge in computer software programs, he continuously study (self taught) in programming using MS-Excel Spreadsheets software, and He COLLECTED and ACQUIRED NUMEROUS MS-EXCEL Spreadsheet Computer Software Programs from his contacts Professional Engineers (Alex, Rod, Shaiq, David, Redem) in the United States of America through SOCIAL NETWORKING and AFFILIATION of American Concrete Institute(ACI) and American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE). Passionate and dedicated to his craft, He leads MCL Engineers and associates with a genuine know-how for staying organized he built a relationship with a network of the most well–seasoned engineers.

      """CALCULATIONS are the CORNERSTONE of our CREDENTIALS as an ENGINEER. ENGINEERS and LAYMAN and/or Ordinary PEOPLE do not talk about CALCULATIONS. In almost 20 years of experience working across the country from private to government, and to private practice again, it is an embarrassment of silence. It is a TABOO SUBJECT, likely POLITICAL, PERSONAL and HIGHLY SELECTIVE. IT IS SOMETHING that DIVIDES the GENERATIONS rather than UNITES. CALCULATIONS is intimate the way we work, the way we think, and the way we present ourselves to our peers and friends."""
