SMX Convention Center • Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines • 23-26 April 2009 United Architects of the Philippines COLLEGE OF FELLOWS Greetings to the Members, Chapter Officers and the 2008-2009 National Board of Directors of the United Architects of the Philippines on the occasion of the 35th UAP National Convention! The UAP College of Fellows congratulates the laudable performance of National President Medeliano T, Roldan, Jr., fuap, the National Officers, the National Board of Directors and the Executive Directors 20082009 in their dedicated efforts to uphold both the highest ethical standards and level of excellence of architecture in the Philippines. This year’s theme “The Power of Architecture: Dream, Create and Transform” is a timely and relevant dialogue to the realities of the world today. The imagination and creativity of the architect gives him the power to influence and transform for the better environment around him. His architecture creates a tremendous impact to the quality of life of the people who use his built-creations. The achievements in the practice of architecture by the members of the UAP College of Fellows affirm the special gift of the architect and his meaningful contribution to society as a whole. We, the Jury of Fellows, Officers and Members of the UAP College of Fellows take pride in presenting during the 35th National Convention six (6) outstanding architects as new members of the College of Fellows. It is also our distinct privilege to have a highly respected former Chancellor of the College of Fellows with a tremendous contribution to the UAP and the profession – UAP Charter President Norberto M. Nuke, fuap – conferred the Likha Award, “the highest distinction that may be bestowed upon a Fellow of the United Architects of the Philippines”. May the UAP College of Fellows in collaboration with the members and officers of UAP continue in maintaining the integrity of the standards of the architectural profession in the Philippines!
