MESSAGES RAMON S. MENDOZA, fuap College of Fellows, Chancellor It is my distinct pleasure to extend my most cordial felicitations to the general membership, participants, organizers, exhibitors and sponsors of the 41st UAP National Convention and CONEX 2015 to be held on April 16-18, 2015 with the theme: “Empowering Architects Towards ASEAN Integration”. Our mutual commitment to the organization and with our individual capabilities as exceptional leaders are the reason why we always meet in this Annual Convention and I believe, will always be the greatest attributes that would bring our community to continuing excellence and at the same time provide the entire organization the boost of encouragement to move on despite the many challenges we face. On this convention, we look forward, with genuine enthusiasm, to be equipped with proper knowledge on ASEAN integration and to make full use of ASEAN as architects. We hope that the our sector will use the mechanisms and programs in place to further propel our country and our people to be among the best in ASEAN; and we hope that our community will participate actively in regional cooperative programs to develop a qualified, competent and wellprepared architects that would benefit from, as well as, cope with the challenges of ASEAN regional integration. In closing, I hope and pray that the national leadership of this great organization is fully committed to achieving excellence in every aspect of our mission and in all aspect of the profession, in fulfilling the plans and programs we have made to the UAP community and to the Architecture Profession.
