National Vice President for Area A
This year, 2015, is the 40th year of existence of our beloved organization, The UNITED ARCHITECTS OF THE
PHILIPPINES ! We praise and thank the Lord God Almighty, the Supreme Architect of the Universe for the blessings
and guidance He has given UAP through thick and thin.
It is with my great pride and pleasure to have serve this prestigious organization from its inception and birth way
back in the early seventies as Regional Coordinator for Central and Northern Luzon reaching out to our colleagues
to join and be united in this organization up to the present as Area Vice President for Area A, representing the same
area of responsibility.
At this juncture, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our Vice Presidents of Area B, C and D , to all
the District Directors, Chapter Presidents and members and most especially our Joint Area Assembly Organizing
Committee for the invaluable support and overwhelming attendance as well as for the successful Joint Area Assembly
in Cebu held last February, and to those who joined the Photography Contest on the “Lighthouse” as well.
Furthermore, as part of our Area A program of activities, I would like to propose and to institutionalize a formal
Turn-over of Duties and Responsibilities, Leadership Training and Team Building of the Outgoing and Incoming Vice
President, District Directors and Chapter Presidents every second week of May.
Today, I am most pleased to greet you a warm welcome to our 41st Annual and National Convention with the
theme “Empowering Architects Towards ASEAN Integration”.
This is a big challenge and together, as professionals, let us always unite and join hands in accepting these
challenges, small or big ones, for our profession, our professional organization, our fellow men, our country and God,
our Creator. To God be the glory !
