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!
