I extend my warm greetings to the United Architects of
the Philippines on the occasion of its 40th Annual National
Convention (NATCON 40) on 9-12 April 2014.
This year’s theme “O.N.E.: Organization-movers. Nationbuilders. Earth-keepers.” is indeed relevant and timely.
In the last decade, our world became focused on green living
and the preservation of the environment from mismanagement,
further degradation and exploitation. I trust that businesses will
continue to develop new products that use more efficient and
clean energy sources and use sustainable green technology to
come up with quality, stylish, and affordable structures.
I highly support this kind of activity as it is a vital contribution
to the government’s effort towards social and economic growth
and development in the country. I strongly encourage the
participants to take advantage of this event to improve the
standards of your profession to gain the competitive edge that
will allow you to render more efficient services to your clients.
Be assured of my steadfast support to more fruitful endeavors
from your organization for the good of our nation.
Mabuhay po kayong lahat!
