“Empowering Architects Towards ASEAN Integration” – this has always been the goal of the organization
since the integration is approaching. Now is the year where this integration is to take effect, and the organization
is constantly working hand-in-hand with different sectors including the professionals, government agencies, and
other technical professions as well, to empower us Architects.
On behalf of the United Architects of the Philippines – The Integrated and Accredited Professional Organization
of Architects, I would like to welcome all the Participants to the UAP 41st National Convention in SMX Convention
Center, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. I also extend my gratitude to the organizing committee for their
utmost dedication and perseverance.
The goal of this convention is to have us, Architects, empowered as we face one of the big challenges our
profession is facing – competing with foreign Architects through cross-border practice. It is important that we
meet up to interact, network and exchange ideas and concepts. It is only by sharing ideas that we can strengthen
our profession. The UAP, with its constant move in protecting our Vocation, is truly dedicated in empowering the
members, equipping all of you with a stronger knowledge and morale, and enjoining everyone in the achievements
of the organization.
May this convention bring forth clear visions, and nourish our aspirations and longings, for the true benefit
of the Filipino Architects!
Mabuhay ang UAP!
