Relax and unwind. These were just some of the things that
can be described of our September General Membership
Meeting held on September 21, 2018 at the Kuysen &
HG Flagship Showroom, located at the ground floor of
Eton Residences Greenbelt, Legazpi St, Legazpi Village,
Makati City.
It was a fun-filled gathering where CBD architects get a
chance to socialize and reconnect with colleagues in a
lighter ambience while being served with a sumptuous
dinner, surrounded by a sophisticated line of Kuysen
products. For this, the UAP Makati CBD Chapter remains
thankful to our gracious hosts for welcoming us once
again to party in their venue that seemingly rivals a
state-of-the-art museum that showcases what looks like
metallic art pieces.
Adding to the fun and laughter were some of the new
breed of CBD architects joining the games prepared and
hosted by Architects Alex Peña and Zaldy Imperial. It was
also the last chance to settle IAPOA and Chapter dues,
which made it quite busy at the registration. But as one
goes inside, the evening went on full of good vibes and
warm camaraderie.
Signing of Memorandum of Understanding between UAP Makati
CBD Chapter as represented by its current president Michael
Frederick Lazo and secretary Michelle Ting and Pasig Diocesan
Commission for Cultural Heritage of the Church chairman Rev. Fr.
Roy Rosales washeld last August 24, 2018. This project aims to
document the current physical condition of the heritage masonry
structures namely Immaculate Conception Cathedral (Pasig),
San Miguel Chapel (Pasig), Caniogan Chapel (Pasig), Bambang
Chapel (Pasig), Sagad Chapel (Pasig), San Roque Parish Church
(Pateros) and Archdiocesan Shrine of Saint Anne (Taguig). Initial
stage of the project will be ocular visits followed by thorough
visual inspection and photo-documentation using street level and
aerial photography and final output will be a book/manual.
This will be the first collaborative heritage project in the Philippines
between a catholic diocese and a UAP chapter, latter being
the initiator, that will promote detailed condition assessment
without involvement of scientific analyses as a prerequisite to
actual restoration process of built heritage. It will also provide
a logical basis for future studies of deterioration progress for a
specific group of old buildings within a locality bounded in exact
timeframe.
This project is also supported by Abang Lingkod ni Maria, a non-
government organization of old time Pasigueños that advocates
preservation of ecclesiastical heritage and has numerous projects
in Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Brgy. Malinao, Pasig City.
The project jumpstarted with nitial photo-documentation
and ocular of 3 churches under Pasig Diocese: Immaculate
Conception Cathedral (Pasig), San Roque Church (Pateros) and
Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne (Taguig) which was held last
