National Vice President for Area C
Greetings and Salutations!
It is with utmost pleasure to know that we have reached a pinnacle of achievement in the architecture
profession as we celebrate the 41st UAP National Convention with the theme “Empowering Architects Towards
ASEAN Integration.”
In the light of paving the road for changes on the goals of our professional practice, let us bear in mind what
defines and distinguishes our Filipino Architecture and who we are as Filipino Architects who embody in each
architectural design the essence and soul of our Filipino legacy and heritage.
Linking communities in the Asian Region thru this process of integration will facilitate an exchange in culture
and design as well as provide diverse opportunities for Filipino architects to excel in the global world. Ultimately, the
success of our goal will be on how we rise to meet the challenges brought about by these changes and continue
to espouse the highest standards in our professional practice.
In behalf of the Area C and the Architects from the Visayas, my sincerest congratulations to the United
Architects of the Philippines, the National Officers, the Organizing Committee and the members of the Professional
Organization for always ensuring the success of our annual convention.
Let us empower, equip and enjoin, MABUHAY ANG ARKITEKTONG PILIPINO!
