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. ANGELINE T. CHUA CHIACO, Member, PRBoA FUAP, APEC Architect
