In 1945, mining engineers joined the metallurgical and topographical building callings under a solitary expert affiliation named the Philippine Society of Mining, Metallurgical, and Geological Engineers (PSMMGE). The affiliation built up territorial sections in Baguio, Lepanto, PHILEX, Cebu, Marinduque and Negros Occidental. Quite a long while later, the three callings worked for the authorization of their own administrative laws and in the long run framed their own separate proficient affiliations. The Philippine Society of Mining Engineering (PSEM) was authorized by the Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC) on April 15, 1983 as the national expert association of mining designers. While an association, the PSEM remains an individual from PSMMGE, now renamed Philippine Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Geological Engineers (PIMMGE).
