NAST PHL sa Senado: Ipasa ang Philippine Building Act para pahusayin ang pambansang katatagan at kaligtasan ng Publiko

Ang National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST PHL), sa pamamagitan ng Executive Council nito at ng Engineering Sciences and Technology Division, ay nagpahayag ng optimismo at pag-apura para sa Senado ng Pilipinas na maipasa ang panukalang Philippine Building Act (PBA) sa kasalukuyang Ika-3 Regular na Sesyon ng 19th Congress.

Ang Batas, na naglalayong pataasin ang katatagan ng mga gusali na bagong iminungkahing o umiiral laban sa maraming panganib, na pagsasama-samahin ang Senate Bills 1181, 1467, at 1970, at HBT 8500 na inaprubahan noong nakaraang taon ng Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan.

Papalitan ng panukalang PBA ang Presidential Decree No. 1096 of 1977 na kilala bilang “National Building Code of the Philippines”, na nag-a-update ng mga teknikal na pamantayan at mga regulasyong pang-administratibo na mahalaga para sa lahat ng pampubliko at pribadong gusali sa buong bansa.

Idiniin ng NAST PHL na ang pagpasa sa PBA ay mahalaga upang mapahusay ang kaligtasan ng publiko, mabawasan ang mga panganib na nauugnay sa panganib, at magtatag ng mga modernong pamantayan sa konstruksiyon na nagpoprotekta sa mga buhay at ari-arian.

Ayon sa inilabas na pahayag, ang iminungkahing PBA ay magpapakilala ng mga pagtasa na may kaalaman sa agham, mga inobasyon, at mga hakbang sa pagbuo ng katatagan na mahalaga para sa pagbawas at pamamahala sa panganib ng kalamidad ng bansa, na pinangangalagaan ang kapakanan ng komunidad.

Ang PBA ay magpapagaan din ng mga negatibong epekto, magsusulong ng pananagutan ng stakeholder, at magpapatupad ng mga kaugnay na karapatan at obligasyon. Mamarkahan nito ang isang makabuluhang hakbang pasulong para sa mas ligtas at mas napapanatiling built environment.#
