OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
My sincere greetings to the officers and members of the United
Architects of the Philippines as you hold your 35th UAP National
Convention.
I am optimistic that with your continued support and involvement, we
will be able to implement our massive infrastructure project, which is part
of our stimulus package to cushion the impact of the global financial crisis
on our economy.
I hope that through your annual convention with the theme, “The
Power of Architecture - Dream, Create and Transform,” you will be able to
map out strategies that will respond to the challenges and opportunities
facing your profession, thus making you more competent and equipped
to perform your tasks.
The holding of the UAP Convention Exhibits (CONEX) 2009, as part
this convention, is also timely as it will showcase the new technologies,
innovation and trends in the construction industry.
May you have a fruitful convention and exhibit, Mabuhay!
GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO
