IIEE Corporate Seal

IIEE corporate seal was the idea of Engr. Lopez which came from the logo of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). Instead of the single conductor' a symbol of a current transformer was used after seeing it in the Electrical Code. He and Engr. Luis Tomacruz who was then connected with the Manila Electric Company asked some engineers there to draft the IIEE logo. Inscribed on the seal were the name of the Institute, the year it was founded, and a symbol of a current transformer in the center with the numeral "2" at the upper right corner of the symbol to indicate the double nature of "I" and "E" representing IIEE.

IIEE BATANGAS CHAPTER HISTORY

On January 1982, President Marcos directed the IIEE to take place of the defunct Philippine Fire Protection Association in duties and responsibilities relative to the National Fire Safety Council. Since February 1982,IIEE Testing Laboratory was accredited as the testing arm for electrical products of the Product Standards Agency( PSA). From February to March 1982, IIEE offered for the first time a review course for EE Board Exams in Manila. On March 20, 1982, IIEE was awarded by the Philippine Federation of Professional Associations (PFPA) with First Quinquennial Award of Merit for the Enhancement of the Professional. Also approved and implemented during the year were the Life Membership Plan and the addition of Technical Books and Journal, Ways and Means, and Sports and Development Committees. This was the early scenario of IIEE during which IIEE- Batangas Chapter was born June 26, 1982.

We're the new society engineers
Now banded all together
Wlth PRC validation
To form an association
The nine regions of the country
Have chapters strong and free
We are all of IIEE,
One happy family.

We provide electric power
Transmission, distribution lines
Electricians on the highways
Substation every crossway
We illumine hills and mountains
Install transformer banks
We are IIEE members.
Electrical Titans.

Chorus
Erecting, installing
For rural betterments
Designing, programming
For rural settlements
Delta connections, energization,
Generating plants. Hall IIEE!
