2008 — Revive the Professional Community
A renewed effort to revive the professional community was initiated by computer engineers from diverse organizations. Led by Engr. Erwin G. Mendoza and Engr. Alexander B. Ybasco, the group built upon the foundation laid by PhICEs. Following a series of strategic meetings, the organization was rebranded as the Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (ICpEP).
1992 — Established the Philippine Institute of Computer Engineers, Inc. (PhICEs)
The organization successfully attracted a number of professional members and actively organized conventions, seminars, and symposia across various regions in Luzon and Visayas. Despite its initial momentum, PhICEs eventually became inactive after several years of operation.
