United Architects of the Philippines
40th National Convention
9-12 April 2014
8
SMX Convention Center
Metro Manila
Warmest greetings to my fellow architects in the United
Architects of the Philippines as you open the 40th Annual
National Convention.
“Organization-movers, Nation-builders, and Earth-keepers,”
reflects my personal rewarding experience in working with the
UAP in the establishment of chapters and strengthening the
organization so that Filipino architects all over the country and
world can rally behind the goals of the UAP. The emphasis on
the role of architects as earth-keepers truly highlights our role
in protecting our environment in this era of climate change. We
share this responsibility with the other professionals in creating
the built environment in promoting the common advocacy of
environmental protection and nation building.
To the UAP, my sincerest wishes for the success of your 40th
Annual National Convention.
