Message from the UAP National President

The Pandemic is slowly weakening, and the economy is getting back on its feet as well. The light that represents getting back to normalcy is shining bright as we become more optimistic about what used to be a two-year ambiguous struggle for our future.

The positivity we clung to during the crisis saw us through all the challenges we heard, knew, and experienced. We are Architects and we are planners: we adapt to what is required and we solve what needs a solution. This is the kind of drive we all have as we see a future from imagination triggered by our inspiration and vision.

The theme “Optimism and Drive” of the second issue of the UAP Post is indeed applicable to us architects, and in this case, the UAP. The Organization has been steadfast in upholding our traditions and basic thrusts for this fiscal year. We as a team have held our heads up high and responded to what is needed to be done, and we have made concrete plans, especially for our members. It is innate in all of us that servant leadership is a norm as we put other people first in serving and devoting our time and effort for the betterment of the majority.

As an organization, we found ways and spearheaded activities, through digital means so as to continue our service to our members and the general public. We held activities for both local and international affairs of the organization including the International Conference for Architects (ICA), National Conference for Architects (NCA), World Architecture Day (WAD), National Architecture Week (NAW), and the recently concluded 47th Founding Anniversary of UAP and National Convention.

We are in transition from being anxious about our future to adapting and recovering to normalcy. Most of us are occupied with rebuilding our lives and livelihood, but we will always endure whenever we keep in our minds and hearts the word “UNITED”, for by being together we can do great things for the profession, the professional product, the professionals, and the professional organization.

May the great Architect in heaven be with all of us always!

Let’s keep each other posted!

Congratulations to the UAP Post team!

Mabuhay ang UAP.
