The Philippines have made road as a major keystone for national development. From the last decade, to the present, to the present, we experienced road progress and transportation developments. We have built more roads than had been in the previous century. With this, the Philippines, as host of the 12th REAAA Conference, is truly ‘on the road’ and on the way to further road developments and progress.

The REAAA Conference is held once in every three (3) years and is considered as one of the important activities of the Association.

The Philippines is privileged to host the 12th REAAA Conference and have chosen a relevant theme ‘On the Road to the Future’ as a way to describe current road developments and progress taking place in the country. This year’s conference is expected to highlight meaningful exchange of ideas, opinion, and experiences by experts and participants in various countries who are engaged making road engineering a vital tool in nation-building.

The results of the Call for Papers, 200 abstracts from 30 countries have been evaluated and approved for this conference. The technical papers were classified into 14 relevant topics which will be presented in the technical sessions. Throughout the conference, keynote addresses are scheduled daily and presented by prominent experts in the Region who will share their state-of-the art technology and lessons learned from various project engagements.

A visit to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), a newly-rehabilitated 99 kilometers project under the Built-Operate-Transfer (BOT) program, and an ongoing Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, a successful implementation of a foreign-assisted project, will be included in the tour itinerary.
