message “Reinventing S.O.A.: Service-Oriented Architecture” Rogelio L. Singson Secretary Share: Status Photo Link Video Department of Public Works and Highways, Republic of the Philippines Warmest greetings to the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) on the occasion of your 37th National Convention on April 28-30, 2011 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. Your theme, “Reinventing S.O.A.: Service-Oriented Architecture” is an indication of UAP’s constant drive to come up with good designs of structures that would address the challenges of the present times, among others, climate change. The challenge of designers then to come up with service-oriented architecture would not only focus on the aesthetic value but on how functional and environment-friendly these structures. UAP, as an organization, should play an active role in integrating your efforts to respond to the disaster risk reduction by building safe and resilient structures. The price to pay for failure to comply with the appropriate laws such as the National Building Code is very stiff by putting the lives of our people at risk. As professionals, may your also continue pursuing your collective endeavors to uplift your ranks as builders of world class structures that our country can be truly proud of. I hope that your convention would yield better architectural innovations, standards and methodologies in your field even as you go about your individual and collective endeavors to be competitive with the world’s best. I wish then for the continued success of your organization. Mabuhay ang UAP! 37th UAP National Convention © 2011 About Us | Contact | Blog | Resources | Help | Terms | Privacy | 7
