January 2019 GAME KNB? The UAP Makati CBD Chapter Opening of Elections Story by: Ar. / EnP. Reynaldo M. Cristobal Jr., UAP, PIEP, RMP Leaders play a very important role in any community or organization. They determine the group's goal and course of action. They set the phase of every endeavor. They inspire the people around them and encourage progress. These and a lot more are the vital functions of someone who leads. But no one can lead without those who follow, as success only come to those who work hand in hand towards a common goal. This is the guiding principle behind the leadership selection process of UAP Makati CBD Chapter. In this regard, the chapter allows volunteers who meet the minimum requirements to present themselves and let the general membership choose who will lead them. Just like in Philippine national and local elections, we at CBD encourage our members to file for a Letter of Commitment, equivalent to Certificate of Candidacy. These will serve as the chapter's assurance that the candidate will actually perform once elected to a certain position. In this regard, the Chapter ComElec, represented by Past Chapter Presidents Ar. Albert Uy and Ar. Rodolfo Bongato Jr. led the Election Opening last January 25, 2019 at the Max's Restaurant, Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati during the UAP Makati CBD's 7th General Membership Meeting dubbed as "Game KNB?", a play in the tagalog phrase asking people if they are all ready, which actually pertains to the challenge of servanthood. The GMM was attended by a total of 27 architects. Filing for candidacy through the Letter of Commitment was formally opened following the brief announcement of the chapter's rules and regulations concerning election. Ar. Albert Uy reiterated and emphasized the minimum requirements for candidacy and the process which (Top) UAPMakati CBD Chapter after the General Membership Meeting last January 25, 2019 at the Max's Restaurant, Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati City; (Bottom) UAP Makati CBD Chapter COMELEC member Ar.
