Plumbing Practice: The Birth of The Plumbing Profession

The plumbing profession in the Philippines began in the 16th century when Spanish colonizers established the walled city of Intramuros. In the late 19th century, plumbing work expanded to towns across the country. The plumbing trade became recognized by the government in the early 20th century. In the 1950s, President Ramon Magsaysay signed the Plumbing Law of the Philippines, and the National Plumbing Code was established. In 1999, the Professional Regulation Commission adopted a revised Plumbing Code that was approved by President Joseph Estrada.
