PEST EXTERMINATORS ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES (PEAP)

Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines

The Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines (PEAP), was founded in 1979.  With almost 100 strong members; it is one of the largest and premiere pest control association in the Philippines. The association was founded with the highest code of ethics, which demanded safety for both the customers and the pest operators. 

The Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines is a non-profit organization seeking to further standardize the pest control industry in the Philippines thru its regular general members' meeting and hosting quarterly technician's training, giving lectures about the latest trends and techniques in pest management.

PEAP is giving its members access to seminars, international activities, and events. 

In a nutshell, the Pest Exterminators Association of the Philippines assists the individual Pest Control Operator in the country in many technical aspects of the industry, and keeps the Operators informed about the latest business matters.

These standards have been upheld through the years of our operations, with advancements in training, chemicals, equipment, and safety.

PEAP HISTORY

It was a warm and beautiful summer day in March of 1979, the FPA sponsored pre-licensing Seminar had been very well attended. There had been no less than 50 independent pest controllers who came and were eager to listen and comply with the new regulations, among these participants was a struggling young pest control operator the late Julio Salazar, owner and operator of J.A. Salazar.

Dependable Pest control (now Multipest Services) and a retired colonel who was at that time the already successful owner and operator of Emar Merchandising and Pest Control Services whose name was well-known in the industry circles, the late col. Marcelo “Roy”Roa-Yu.

The seminar had already been on its third day. During the noonday break, these two gentlemen had decided to disengage themselves from the main body of participants. They picked a nice and cozy spot in the AIT grounds and then proceeded to indulge in small talk which eventually drifted to a subject of mutual interest.

Roy was then an active member in good standing of the lone pest control association in the country. However, he had by this time grown disenchanted and disillusioned with it for strictly private reasons, no wonder the man had started toying with the idea of resigning from that association and joining another one, but there simply had been no such recourse available then. So, when July Salazar broached the idea of organizing and establishing a new association to be run precisely along with the same conceptual lines such as Roy’s, Roy became deeply interested and upon further cajolery from July, he finally agreed to organize such an organization. July became self appointed legman and they began their campaign in earnest.

The initial meeting of the organization was held at the Capitol Hills Golf Club house. Because July had done such a good job of it, nearly a hundred people came to listen to what the good ex-colonel had to say. At the appointed time, Roy delivered his message. This had been well received by the PCO’s in general. When the meeting came to an end, some of the audience had chosen to stay behind to make further inquiries into the proposed new association. As it turned out later, this group became the hard-core element of the new association.

Several more meetings followed wherein the nitty gritty of organization matters were tackled and ironed out. In one such meeting which was held at the Philippine Columbian, the name of the organization was unanimously adapted. It was to be and still is the Pest Exterminator’s Association of The Philippines, Inc. This culminated in the landslide election of the association’s first president, Marcelo “Roy” Roa-Yu.
