Vice President for Area D
On behalf of Area D, my heartfelt felicitations to the
general membership, the members of the National
Board of Directors and the Organizing Committee of
Joint Area Assembly as we hold our 2016 UAP Joint
Area Assembly with the theme, “Xtream: Architects in
Action” in Iloilo City.
I am confident that our current
thrust are on the right track and this year’s theme is very
timely and significant as we continue to contribute
progressive ideas and initiatives and build eminent
goodwill for the welfare of our community. Our keen
participation and involvement and sharing our available
treasures to this activity mark valued success not only in
tangible assistance but most importantly when we touch
people’s heart. When we work hand in hand with harmony of solidarity we will project the value and importance of the role of architects in nation building and
public service as what A. Philip Randolph said “Let the
nation and the world know the meaning of numbers.”
Again, congratulations! Let us continue to encourage the
members of our beloved organization to leave a legacy
and achieve excellence in every aspect of our commitment.
Mabuhay ang Arkitektong Filipino!

It is my distinct honor and privilege to greet the editorial
staff of the UAP POST under the able leadership of Ar.
Edlee S. Tusi as they roll out the maiden issue for
FY2016-2017. The UAP POST plays a vital role in the
scheme of things because “a well-informed membership is an enlightened membership.” Nowadays, we are
bombarded with a lot of news items both from traditional media and social media that it is sometimes
difficult to discern what is true and what is not. Many of
man’s problems are caused by wrong information or
mis-information and it is becoming a daunting task for
one, even with good intentions to be able to give “the
correct and accurate” information. Thus, a credible
6
publication like the UAP POST fills the void and quenches the
thirst of our members for valuable and reliable information.
Lastly, may I remind you all that before you compose the first
sentence, always bear in mind our theme “Unity Accountability
and Professional Excellence” and you will never go wrong.
Soar High, UAP.
Congratulations and more power to all!
