Republic of the Philippines SENATE I wish to extend my warmest greetings and felicitations to the men and women of the United Architects of the Philippines, on the occasion of your 38th National Convention at the SMX Convention Center on April 18-21, 2012. May this occasion serve as a venue for all the officers and members of the UAP to establish camaraderie amongst yourselves and explore possible innovations in architecture to improve and sustain the quality of the built environment. May you also carry on your noble undertaking as an Association that caters to the needs of Filipino architects who are united in pushing for a common mission to “unite the registered and licensed architects in the Philippines, promote the aesthetic, scientific and business practice of architecture; advance architectural standards of continuing education, training and practice; and build relationships among clients, the construction industry and architects.” As your Senate President, I fervently hope that UAP will continue to lead the way in preserving our unique architectural heritage and to further strengthen the unity among Filipino architects, designers and planners in aspiring towards greater achievements in the field of architecture in the years ahead. Congratulations and more power to UAP! Juan Ponce Enrile Senate President 4
