Republic of the Philippines
NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR CULTURE AND THE ARTS
As the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) holds its 38th National
Convention on the theme “Landmarks, Leadership, & Legacy,” the
National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), being the foremost
government arm dedicated to the promotion and development of arts and
culture in the country, extends our warmest felicitations to all the members
and delegates to this truly notable gathering.
Architecture and its allied arts, being one of the seven arts promoted all
throughout the celebration of the Philippine Arts Festival (PAF) spearheaded by
the NCCA every February, are underscored through the programs and activities
of the commission. We are grateful that the 38th UAP National Convention
will continue to empower our Filipino architects in continually shaping and reshaping our societies, our mindset, and the whole nation in general.
On the 25th year of the NCCA, we hope to instill in everyone that the
“Filipino culture is the wellspring of national and global well-being.” On this,
we believe that the UAP will continue to be a partner of the NCCA in achieving
this vision.
Thus, on behalf of the NCCA, we hope for the continued success of the
UAP and its membership, and wishes everyone a fruitful participation to this
truly remarkable undertaking.
Mabuhay po kayong lahat!!!
Prof. Felipe M. de Leon, Jr.
NCCA Chairman
