United Architects of the Philippines Greetings! As a duly professional Architect, we all get to have this time of year wherein most of us with the same profession get to mingle with each other sharing good thoughts and ideas and everything else in between that transcend to make us leaders of the construction profession. The constructive thoughts that we lead on eventually become concrete ideas that will leave a landmark to anyone we dealt with or moreso to the society, particularly if we have emancipated it from the usual norms. In turn, these structures that we leave are the legacy that we impart the future leaders that we implore thru our best examples to date. This year’s annual National Convention celebrates the pride that is brought about by our ethical hardships on the projects we endeavored into and the interaction with our friends in both the profession and the industry itself. The theme “Architectural Pride: Landmarks, Leadership, & Legacy” We, as architects, best exemplifies leadership in most ways who do make a difference. We really take pride of our dreams, amidst impossibilities, our ideas for betterment of our clients and our achievements, less the boast. I personally would like to congratulate the leaders of this organization both past and present, for their landmarks in their own little ways and the legacies that they had and will be imparting to all of us that gives us inspiration that lead us to extreme confidence within ourselves. The Office of the National Treasurer extends its sincerest congratulations to the ever reliable people who take so much effort and ethical work that always lead to a successful event. The National president for his hands on efforts, the Conventions and Assemblies chairman in the flesh of Arch. Roger Ong for his eagle eye on everything, Arch. Lora Rivera for her ethical and utmost professional approach, and all the members of the Organizing Committee who i don’t get tired of extending my praises and tap at the back for all the hard work. Let’s take pride in our work! More power to our Profession! More power to all the Professionals! Mabuhay ang UAP and God bless us all! Armando Eugene C. de Guzman III, UAP National Treasurer 23
