Achieving milestones has always been a tradition, and a culture in UAP Makati CBD. No achievement
is ever so small and no upheaval is ever so great that it allows even further for the CBD Chapter to
thrive.
The past fiscal year, like many others before it, is a testament to CBD’s indomitable spirit. CBD rises
above tougher and challenging periods; and to recognize, it is able to recognize its members who
are willing to take up the challenge of true leadership and rewards them for it.
CBD empowers them not only as architects behind desks and PC monitors, but as responsible
architects promoting architecture as a functioning edifice, from what used to be prejudged by
society as merely aesthetic.
I am honored to be part of CBD’s brand of leadership, which is all about service - to our fellow
Filipino architects and to our fellow Filipinos who continuously aspire for a more elevated sense
and idea of space.
“There is a light that never goes out,” sings British pioneer-singer/songwriter Stephen Morrissey
with his old band The Smiths. Why it appears here simply describes how UAP Makati CBD Chapter
manages to stay relevant and stay focused, even despite the shifting trends in architecture, this
without compromising its integrity, its core values, and most of all, its belief with one another.
Mabuhay ang UAP Makati CBD! Mabuhay ang UAP! Mabuhay ang arkitektong Pilipino!
Sincerely,
Arch. Joselito Loreto L. Bersamina
Auditor
