Romeo J. Nabong II, Chapter Secretary, Ar. Pedro L. Fontanilla Jr.,Chapter Director for Committee of Education and Ar. Yolito I. Amante, Chapter Director for Committee on Membership.

Respectively, the Project Map-O-Debris is an initiative that aims to provide data-driven tools to combat marine debris issues worldwide. Using Jerudong Beach as the pilot project, this project seeks to tackle the root source of debris within this beach and formulate solutions that are specific and feasible.

The organizers have planned to stage another clean-up drive (Part III) by the first week of October 2018 albeit the location has yet to be finalized. Lastly, UAP Brunei Chapter has committed itself to support this kind of initiatives because it decently relates with the profession as an architect in terms of professional responsibility to the society and the environmentmost importantly.
