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
