SMX Convention Center • Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines • 23-26 April 2009 Republic of the Philippines PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION It gives me great pleasure to offer my warmest felicitations to the United Architects of the Philippines as you embark on your 35th National Convention. The UAP has a special place in the annals of the Professional Regulation Commission, having earned the title of Most Outstanding Accredited Professional Organization an impressive three times. This is a testament to the inspiring leadership and commitment that the UAP has demonstrated towards the Architecture Profession in its history. As an academician, I personally welcome the UAP’s continuing initiative in holding its 35th National Convention and its choice of the theme “The Power of Architecture – Dream, Create, and Transform." Doubtless, this Convention will serve as a lively forum for strengthening the educational objectives of the UAP. This event supports the PRC’s own mission of promoting Continuing Professional Education among all the Professions. It is my hope that the members of the UAP will take advantage of this opportunity to build strong linkages with their colleagues, forge greater unity and, together, continue to transform Philippine Architecture as a dynamic and responsive profession. Mabuhay kayong lahat! NILO L. ROSAS Commissioner 16
