As we conclude Part 1 of the 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦: 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, we look back on a productive and insightful day held yesterday, March 28, 2026.

Participants were introduced to the fundamentals of concrete solutions and concrete mix design, laying a strong foundation for the exciting challenges ahead. From understanding the essentials to appreciating the science behind every mix, this marks the beginning of transforming knowledge into real-world engineering applications.

Innovation truly meets strength as aspiring civil engineers gear up to take their ideas further—designing, creating, and testing concrete mixtures that reflect not only structural integrity but also purpose and impact.

This is a collaborative event with PICE UNC SC and Philippine Institute of Certified Quantity Surveyors - UNC Student Chapter. Let’s continue to build, innovate, and shape the future—one concrete solution at a time.💡

The American Concrete Institute Philippines – UNC Student Chapter extends its sincere gratitude to the City Government of Naga and the Technical Working Group on the Local Building Code for the opportunity given to our Research Director Clemton Sean Fronda to sit as an Observer Member in the Committee on Civil/Structures, working alongside professionals from the PICE Naga City Chapter.

This opportunity highlights the importance of student participation in professional and policy discussions, where future engineers gain valuable insight into how structural standards and material innovations are translated into policies that strengthen the safety and resilience of our communities.
We are grateful for the recognition of the role of students and future engineers in local governance and in shaping the built environment for the development of Naga City.
✨👷‍♂️🏗️🇵🇭

Every structure rises toward its highest point.
Every journey leads to a summit.

What we have been building will soon be revealed.
And when it does, the entire CE community will stand together at the top.
