35th UAP National Convention The Power of Architecture DR EAM • C R EAT E • T R ANSF OR M Republic of the Philippines SENATE I would like to convey my warmest greetings to the officers and members of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP). I am certain that architects from all over the country are looking forward to participate in the 35th UAP National Convention on April 23-25, 2009 at the SMX Convention Center. This is an opportune time and venue to exchange ideas and insights and compare the latest in trends and technology in the construction industry. It is noteworthy that UAP is also holding the Convention Exhibits (CONEX) 2009 in conjunction with this event. With more than 200 manufacturers and suppliers participating in the CONEX, the public will have a better appreciation of the industry, the challenges confronting the industry players, and the possible solutions thereto in order to strengthen and develop the practice of architecture and other related professions here in our country. I wish the organizers and participants a very productive and successful 35th National Convention. More power to the United Architects of the Philippines! JUAN PONCE ENRILE Senate President 7
