Dear Esteemed Members of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers,

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, let us reflect on the remarkable journey we’ve undertaken together and look ahead with anticipation and determination. The theme for this year encapsulates the spirit that defines our collective aspirations: “Building global partnerships, bridging boundaries, and fostering new technologies towards a more resilient and sustainable development.”

In the field of Civil Engineering, our responsibilities extend beyond mere construction projects; they involve shaping the future of communities and fostering sustainable growth. This year, let us commit ourselves to a shared vision of progress that goes beyond borders and stands resilient in the face of challenges.

As we embark on this new year, let our chosen theme serve as our compass in every decision, collaboration, and innovation. Together, as members of the Civil Engineering community, we possess the ability to mold a future grounded in global collaboration, overcoming barriers, and nurturing technologies that drive resilient and sustainable development.

Wishing you a year filled with groundbreaking achievements, impactful collaborations, and the fulfillment of our shared vision.
