As we embark on our journey towards the fulfilment of our mission to pursue the advancement of our professional organization with the thrusts of Unity , Accountability , and Professional Excellence , I enjoin everyone to focus on rendering our service to the organization as a cohesive entity . It has always been noted historically that in unity there is strength when there is the inherent singular dedication to serve . As individuals , we may have varying philosophies in life - how we think and act according to the moral and ethical values that we adhere to . As architects , we may have different outlooks about the architectural profession – how we deal with our clients , the manner we design and build our architectural creations , and the way we update ourselves with emerging trends in architecture . But when unified as a group of professionals with the obligation to account for its activities , accept responsibility for them , and disclose the results in a transparent manner , we can never go wrong in our quest for the common goal that ultimately leads to the advancement of our professional excellence . Let us create a common sense of purpose and act in a unified and concerted manner for the best interest of our fellow architects and the protection of our profession . Let us be truly responsible and accountable for everything that we do when performing our professional services to our clients and the tasks assigned to us by the organization .
Let us uplift the image of the Filipino architect , locally and globally , by enhancing our professional growth and development and expanding our sphere of knowledge and ideas in the ever competitive world of architecture .
We need the substantial strength , the undivided commitment , and the genuine and straightforward transparency that shall uphold the ideals of our architectural profession and organization . It is our major concern to proudly reaffirm the UAP ’ s honored status as the Professional Regulations Commission ’ s Most Outstanding Pro-

fessional Organization of the Year . As proud members of the UAP , let us all adhere to the commitment to the culture of professional excellence by playing vital roles in shaping and influencing the society wherein qualified and licensed architects can become leaders who promote high ethical conduct , discipline , responsibility , and values while instilling unity among the Filipino architects .
I wish every one of us good luck towards the attainment of our goals for this fiscal year . May the new set of national , local , and international chapter officers bring greater glory to our beloved organization , the United Architects of the Philippines .

UNITY . ACCOUNTABILITY . PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE . These are the battlecry of this administration and I , together with the National Board supports and lean towards achieving this well-timed agenda .
UNITY being the flagship mission under the leadership of NP Guillermo “ Guimo ” Hisancha is an enormous undertaking that entails steadfast dedication and duty to the Organization . My reverence and heartfelt gratitude to our magnanimous National President as he embarks on this year-long journey of remarkable encounters on chances and changes .
As Laurence Boldt once said , and I quote , “ Good intentions are not enough , commitment and sacrifice are necessary .” Thus , one must not only contemplate on commendable plans , upright propositions and / or well intentioned reviews but instead come together as a solitary Organization gearing towards the desire to strengthen Profession and give back to build a better nation .
In celebration of our annual UAP Joint Area Assembly , may each one of us take upon the challenge to continuously celebrate with excellence and distinction — as a member and more so as a leader . Bearing in mind that it is through serving that we learn to lead and it is through giving that we receive .
Thank you all for being part of the 2016 UAP Joint Area Assembly , “ XStream : Architects in Action .” Mabuhay ang Arkitektong Pilipino . Mabuhay ang UAP !
