His active leadership, with the support of the officers and all the members clearly demonstrates   the continued commitment to the Chapter.   As the Chapter celebrates its 25th year in the United Architects of the Philippines, one can only admire   the dedication and loyalty of the members. This tribute belongs exclusively to the members who   pursued the mission and vision of the Chapter as   symbolized by its logo; the professional, the environment, and the UAP. Chapter members have   occupied major positions in the hierarchy of the National Organization; UAP National President,   UAP National Executive Vice President, Area “A” Vice-President, UAP National Treasurer, UAP   National Auditor, Executive Director of UAP Commissions, District Director, NCA Director, NCA   Secretary-General, National Convention Deputy Director, Committee Chairman in the Organizing   Committee of the National Convention, National Conference of Architects and the ARCASIA.   For the 2011, Arch. Jose Marie Luciano T.   Bautista with the theme “UAP Marvalley…ONE” (One goal, One purpose, One vision) indicates   that in the past 25 years marvalleytects continuously united to the betterment of their   chapter and workforce reaching high-performance. The Chapter’s transformation over the last 25 years   has definitely strengthened their integration.   They have shown their great performance in the field of their profession, on public services and   social civic activities. Arch. Bautista adopted   several programs / projects of the past presidents and planned to continue on public services such as   Medical Missions, Adopt-a-Daycare/School/Family and Adopt-a-Park, Adopt A Library, Seminars and   Livelihood Programs, Tree planting and the traditional Gift Giving and Feeding Programs.   During his term Chapter’s Website was officially launched on July 25, 2011   (http://www.uapmarvalley.org) for the members to get information on Building Trends, Fashion,   Architects Proper Grooming, Proper Ethics, Cooking Guides and Trends, to updates of   upcoming events and projects and so on. The Chapter conducted a Monthly Film Showing /   Educational Video Clips and Architects Project Presentation.     2012, Arch. Paul Mari D. Lamagna, uap adopted the  theme “UAP Marvalley…BUILDS” (Building Unity thru Involvement, Leadership and Dedicated Service). His first socio-civic project was Adopt-a  Library where in the chapter was able to donate a total of 1,065 books, manual and magazines to be   able to help the goal of the Marikina City Library which was to encourage people especially the young   to develop an interest in READING. For it has been   established that through reading books, magazines and other materials one can sharpen his sense of   imagination, better comprehension and broaden his awareness of what goes on in the world around him.   This was held last July 20, 2012, at the Marikina City Public Library. In August 2012, Marikina and the rest   of Manila was again ravaged by floods brought on by the now infamous “Habagat”. In response, the   Chapter postponed the Tree Planting Project, its original project scheduled for the month, and   undertook a Relief Operation instead. This outreach project was done last August 11, 2012 at the Red   Cross Marikina Chapter, Sta. Elena, Marikina City. The Chapter coursed its relief operation through the   Red Cross Marikina Chapter for a more speedy and efficient response to the immediate needs of the   Habagat victims. In this little way, we gave hope and care to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. This   event was done in alignment with the UAP National’s objective of promoting the practice through   community service and good public relations.
