PRC Recognizes National Interior Design Week

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), in collaboration with the Professional Regulatory Board of Interior Design (PRB-ID), formally recognizes the annual observance of the National Interior Design Week. The Commission underscores its commitment to honoring the interior design profession and its significant contribution to society and national development.

The celebration is rooted in Proclamation No. 390, series of 2012, signed by then President Benigno S. Aquino III, declaring the last week of May of every year as “National Interior Design Week.” The proclamation aims to raise public awareness on the vital role of interior design in improving the nation’s quality of life, enhancing productivity, and ensuring environmental responsibility in the development of spaces.

Through this recognition, the PRC reaffirms that interior designers are not merely aesthetic professionals but key contributors to nation-building. Their work shapes functional, safe, and sustainable environments that support economic activity, public health, and cultural identity.

The entire nation brings together Filipino designers, architects, and industry stakeholders, showcasing their talents, exchanging diverse ideas, and exploring dynamic trends in interior design.

The PRC continues to champion the profession by upholding the highest standards of practice, ensuring that interior designers are given due recognition for their indispensable role in shaping the spaces where Filipinos live, work, and thrive.
