of the Licensure examinations Reported years were 2008, 2009, and 2010.
A.
Institutional level
The need for more data, including statistics, research and development (R & D) along the areas of interior design. This includes updated and archival data and statistics in the PRC, CHED, and other ID-related institutions and organizations like the Philippine Institute of Interior Design (PIID) in which was established in1964.
composed of licensed and registered interior designers from all over the country. It is also a counterpart organization of the United Architects of the Philippines.
B. National level
Unlicensed ID practitionersThough interior design is a relatively old discipline having started as early as the 1950's and though laws like RA 8534 were enacted to professionalize the ID as a discipline, there are still many pseudo ID practitioners who provide their services to hapless clients.
Unlicensed ID practitionersIn the September 16, 2007 Manila Times article quotes veteran Belen Morey on the rampant cases of misrepresentation and fraud by both pseudo and supposedly legitimate ID practitioners.
a) Related to the aim of the program to promote and protect the welfare, well-being, health, safety, and quality of life, interior designers are expected to know which materials are poisonous, cancer-causing and biodegradable.
structural engineering, mathematics, psychology, art history, and even chemistry. e) Ignorance of the nature of I.D.
This may mean that there is a need to come up with a massive information campaign to educate potential ID clients and the general public. 2010 report pointed out that major issues limiting the Creative Industries, of which ID is a part. Thus, the emphasis for more information and marketing-related campaigns for the Creative Industries.
Pass Senate Bill (SB) 2131 (14th Congress) to establish the Creative Industries Development Council.
Ideally, the private sector will drive the council. The academe can help support such a bill.
eventually, an association/organization similar to BPAP to discuss key strategies to improve the Creative Industries sector and not wait for government to be the prime mover. All subsectors, including ID and architecture should be included.
3.
Regarding human resources, improve design curriculum and training facilities to foster talent development and entrepreneurial skills.
Organize internship programs and be open to foreign ideas and travel to understand markets abroad.
4.
Expand the Philippine design talent pool by making better opportunities available to Philippine designer abroad.
Make Filipinos aware of their design capabilities through awards, exhibits, and lectures.
intellectual property. 6. Recreate a Design Center of the Philippines where international designers lecture and advanced training for local designers is provided.
The center will promote interchange of American, Asian, and European design ideas, while informing potential investors of opportunities in the country. One of the organizations that can spearhead this is PIID.
7.
Conduct foreign market studies to determine where the local Filipino input in design/ and or materials has unique competitive value.
