United Architects of the Philippines 40th National Convention 9-12 April 2014 18 SMX Convention Center Metro Manila Warmest greetings! The 40th National convention is both an occasion for thanksgiving and recommencing obligation to face the new challenges ahead of us. We lift our hearts in gratefulness to God for continuously blessing the United Architects of the Philippines, for its meaningful existence that has given opportunities to Filipino Architects and contributions to the society. I would also like to commend the efforts of the forefathers of the organization whose vision and desire have moved us to be motivated through a long process of discourse and building unity. As we move forward to our next 40 years, I hope that we will be able to re-invigorate our unity by renewing our solidarity and constant cooperation to the organization. The challenges we encounter today are definitely more complex and difficult, but with the empowerment of UAP, we can face it together instilled with our significant visions for the protection of our profession, promotion of our practice, and unceasing service to fellow members. Mabuhay ang UAP! Mabuhay ang mga Akitek tong Pilipino! JOHN JOSEPH T. FERNANDEZ, Secretary General UAP
