Ar. Rosal received his
degree of Bachelor of

and Executive Masters in
Business Administration at
the International Academy

He has been a versatile, staunch, knowledgeable,
and respected voice on advocacy issues that are
of critical import to architects and others in the
design and construction industry at the national,
and local levels.
In more than two decades of service in UAP
until the time when he became UAP National
President for Fiscal Year 2012-2014, he made
his mantra “the positioning of architects as the
authoritative source on the built environment”.
Ar. Rosal never rested on his accomplishments,

them, confronting new criteria and establishing
new parameters within which innovative
solutions to the architecture profession could
be developed.
Ar. Rosal is currently in the United States of
America, where he also attended a meeting with
the American Institute of Architects; one of the
matters discussed is the situation of the Typhoon
Yolanda Victims in the Southern Philippines.
