MESSAGE On behalf of the National Board of Directors, I would like to convey my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to all Officers and Members of the UAP Makati CBD Chapter headed by Arch. Michael Frederick Lazo as you hold your chapter induction of officers and new members. As we begin the fiscal year 2019-2020 with much enthusiasm and high expectations, it is with great joy that I accept this leadership as the UAP National President for the second term. It is truly an honor to be given the trust and confidence by the chapters and the general membership, INCLUDING the national and local leaders of the United Architects of the Philippines to serve this multi-awarded organization. This year we reap and enjoy the fruit of our labor as UAP hailed the “2019 OUTSTANDING Accredited Professional Organization (APO) of the Year” last June 20, 2019 at the Fiesta Pavilion Manila Hotel, Manila. This prestigious award excites us because it allows us to discover, perform, and push the boundaries of our capabilities as professionals and execute strategic creative solutions for the architecture profession. Wining it in three consecutive years validates our commitment to excellence. The 2019 Most Outstanding APO Award will spur us to reach greater heights. I enjoin all of you to take this season as continual motivation to uphold the virtues of commitment, transparency, good governance, and accountability.
