EvEry yEar, UaP area a’s more than 40 chapters convene to work on area-specific concerns that help achieve objectives of the national organization. The Area A Assembly 2009 (AAA-09) will be held in the Subic Freeport Zone in beautiful Subic Bay. The theme “Overcoming Global Challenges to the Architectural Profession” seeks to tackle the challenges facing Filipino Architects in the context of current worldwide economic recession and global environmental issues. Seminar topics include Amendments to the Fire Code, trends in Global Architecture, environment-friendly building materials, and Interior and Exterior Design Software. In addition, the Area Assembly will take up important issues such as updates to the Standards of Professional Practice, hold product exhibits, and recognize achievements of Chapters and individual Chapter members in the Third Area A Excellence Awards.

The Area A Assembly 2009 (AAA-09) is another endeavor that demonstrates UAP’s “Unified Action Geared Towards Professional Excellence”.

ThE ASSEmBly logo shows mountains and water to capture the essence of Subic, which is the site of the Area A Assembly 2009 (AAA ’09 - Subic). The three A’s in three shades of green are the mountains while the waves in blue represent the pristine waters of Subic Bay.

Also in the logo, is the sun rising over Subic, which combines with the number 9 to form ’09 or the year 2009. The orange sun also symbolizes UAP Area A, with seven rays representing the seven Districts that all contribute to keep it shining brightly. Once again, the chapters of UAP Area A converge to work as a unified organization, to strengthen their ties, and to prepare for the challenges that 2009 will bring. The logo AAA ’09 – Subic conveys the event, the time (or the year), the place, and the festive spirit of the Area A Assembly 2009.

ArEA-A rEmAInS true to its commitment to green revolution, this time, through the use of souvenir kits from recycled tarpaulin.

This display of creativity and sensitivity was the product of hawak Kamay Producers Cooperative of mandaluyong City, a group aimed at fighting poverty through entrepreneurship.

hawak Kamay was conceptualized by the city leaders of mandaluyong City, hon. Benhur Abalos and rene Sta maria, mayor and vice mayor, respectively. It was formalized and registered on 7 February 2008. Since then, the group had been conducting livelihood trainings on candle and soap making; textured soy protein manufacturing and sewing wherein inmates of Bureau of Jail management and Penology (BJmP) of mandaluyong City Jail make use of high speed sewing machines to create bags out of used tarpaulins which benefited the inmates and their families.

The principle behind the tarpaulin bags can be associated with green architecture, the use of recycled materials similar to heritage preservation. As a united community, architects can help fight the global crisis by sharing their creativity through new innovations. by russell Fatima n. moleta, uap

Warm greetings to you all!I and the two (2) members of the PrBoA, namely Architects Angeline T. chua

chiaco, fuap and marietta B. segovia, uap, congratulate Area A of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), the integrated and accredited professional

organization of architects (IAPOA), and the UAP-IAPOA Area A officer corps, on the occasion of the UAP-IAPOA Area A Assembly set on 20-21 February 2009 in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone-Olongapo City, Zambales Province.

Under the UAP-IAPOA Area A theme “overcoming challenges to the Architectural Practice: Unified Action Geared Towards Professional excellence”, it is the PrBoA’s express wish that many more areas of cooperation between the PrBoA and the UAP-IAPOA (particularly through the UAP Area A) shall be opened in the remaining half of the UAP fiscal year, and that these are kept evolving and moving forward in order to help attain our shared primary goal of the full implementation and enforcement of republic Act No. 9266 (The Architecture Act of 2004), a valid and subsisting special law and its implementing rules and regulations (irr),which both specifically limit the signing and sealing of architectural documents only to registered and licensed architects (rlAs), as well as their derivative regulations such as the issued 2007 & 2008 PrBoA resolutions governing architectural firm registration and the issuance of temporary/special permits (TsPs) to foreign architects (FAs) practicing in the country.

It is also the wish of the PrBoA that it is able to receive the full and continuing UAP-IAPOA Area A support on the current and future PrBoA initiatives toward this end, particularly the matter of identifying, monitoring and holding accountable the many different violators of r.A. No. 9266, which may also include other state-regulated professionals such as civil engineers (CEs), unregistered persons and certain rlAs who all continue to defy the law and to hurt the profession and its upright practitioners.

again, the PrBoA’s extends its heartfelt congratulations and wishes of continuing success to the UAP-IAPOA Area A, its incumbent officers, and to all of you in attendance!

may the lord bless us all and the resurgent architecture profession as well. mabuhay kayong lahat!

Greetings to the officers and members of the United Architects of the Philippines Area A on the occasion of their assembly in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone on February 20-21, 2009!

On behalf of the Subic Bay metropolitan Authority, I warmly welcome all of you to one of the country’s premier investment and tourism destinations.

no less than Sir Winston Churchill acknowledged the value of architecture as a profession when he said in the 1960s, “We shape our buildings, thereafter, they shape us”.

Within the words of this notable statesman and writer, I believe, can be found the enduring challenge to all architects of all times and ages – and that is, to build not only for today but rather with posterity in mind.

Today’s architectural trend towards sustainability – whether in design, materials or the utilization of energy and natural resources – is a most apt response to this challenge. By consciously incorporating environmentally beneficial decisions in your planning and building activities, you can help create profound changes for mankind and future generations.

mabuhay and best wishes!


my FEllOW ArChITECTS!On behalf of the United Architects of the Philippines, the Integrated and Accredited Professional

Organization of Architects (UAP), it is my distinct pleasure to extend my most cordial felicitations to the officers and members of UAP ArEA A on their ArEA ASSEmBly which will be held from February 20-21, 2009 with the theme: “Overcoming Global Challenges to the Architectural Practice: Unified Action Geared Towards Professional Excellence”.

Through the years, UAP ArEA A has been in the forefront, performing its mission as a vital cog and component of the UAP. Despite its modest resources, it continues to play a multi-faceted role in supporting the national agenda of the UAP, and because of your support, for the Fiscal year 2008-2009:• UAP was re-accredited by the Professional regulation Commission for the next three years which made

UAP one of the very first APOs to pass the re-accreditation requirements set by the PrC;• The Quezon City Government named UAP as an nGO partner after having satisfactorily complied with the

requirements for accreditation prescribed under republic Act no. 7160;• UAP was awarded the PrC most Outstanding Accredited Professional Organization for the third time;• UAP has received the most prestigious distinction of being the first and only APO to receive the most

Outstanding APO Award thrice in the award’s fourteen-year history, and the only APO to win the award in consecutive years;

• UAP has won two cases filed by Civil Engineers against us;• UAP was entrusted to serve as the Secretariat for two years, 2009 and 2010 of the APEC Architect Central

Council, and at the same time, was supported by 13 member-countries to host the 2010 APEC Architect Central Council meeting;

• The Department of Energy recognized UAP as the first Accredited Professional Organization which gave its Pledge of Commitment to the Department for supporting the government’s national Energy Efficiency and Conservation Program (nEECP).UAP is really fortunate. We have a committed and hard-working national leaders and very supportive

members. Together, each of us brings abundant intelligence, a passion for learning and the vital energy needed to move us to the top as prime professional organization of architects.

however, I always enjoin you to continually support the national leadership in its continuing quest for greatness and let us make the most of the opportunities that abound and face the challenges ahead through action, working together as empowered individual in bringing the United Architects of the Philippines to the peak of greatness.

So guided both by our hearts and our heads, with our dedicated missions and values intact, our pride in UAP strong, and our commitment to the next generation of leaders as deep as our predecessors’ commitment was to us, it’s our turn to take care of this place called UAP. And together we will.

I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to the officers of AreA A council & Assembly organizing Committee for the enormous amount of work you have done to reach where we are today, and of the contribution of all the members who have been working how to move forward together.

I have been impressed with the way AreA A council & Assembly organizing committee has united to seek to make progress together. We would not be here today had it not been for your willingness to work together. I hope this will continue, as there are many shared and common issues ahead.

In UAP we determined not to rest on our laurels and everyday’s challenges become ever more competitive, therefore we always strive for excellence in all aspects of our fundamental missions concerning the 4Ps of our profession (the Profession, Professional, Professional Organization, Professional Product).

Warm Greetings to all UAP Area A officers and members, distinguished guests, and dear friends!

In behalf of the Area A Council and the Assembly Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome you all to the Area A Assembly 2009 at the Subic Freeport Zone with the theme “Overcoming Global Challenges to the Architectural

Profession”. This year’s Assembly aims to address current issues that may impact on the manner we practice our Architectural Profession. Foremost in the minds of most people today is the worldwide recession and how it may have an effect on the business climate, their jobs, and their way of life. The Assembly attempts to deal with some of these global issues but takes on local concerns as well.

The Area A Assembly will have seminars that update the architects’ knowledge, consultative sessions about how the architectural practice can adjust to the times, exhibits that get us better acquainted with the latest building materials, and opportunities for fellowship that unify the Area A community.

let us all work hard and have fun together in the true tradition of UAP Area A as we continue to be one of the pillars of the United Architects of the Philippines.

more power to Area A and the UAP! mabuhay ang Arkitektong Pilipino!

Empowerment by Humility: A legacy synonymous to UAP Area A leadership

It is with utmost enthusiasm that the Office of the Secretary General wishes to acknowledge the fired-up programs beautifully crafted for this year by the brains behind the leadership of UAP Area A. Special mention are the dynamic plans and

programs of a humble friend and contemporary, Vice-President michael V. Tomeldan, the pride of UAP QC-Diliman Chapter, in whose hands the enormous responsibility of running the largest area in the UAP today is entrusted. he has inherited an enviable record of successes and milestones from his predecessor, Don ramon mendoza, whose exploits during his time are honorably inscribed today in the halls of UAP. michael’s vision is rooted on motivation with humility. I should know, he has been one of our inspiring beacons in steering our ship of leadership away from the confusing influence of envy and indifference. UAP ought to be proud of having in its fold this very humble leader whose big heart can always accommodate countless number of friends and associates.

There is no doubt in my mind that the unique concept of this year’s Area A Assembly to be held in Subic Bay is just another manifestation of a vast, but highly motivated, framework of putting empowered but humble energies together. To the distinguished architect-delegates coming from the far end of northern luzon to its Eastern and Western counterparts, to my national Board Colleagues: District Directors Andy Gutierrez, Jr. of rD-A1a, neil Joseph Arreola of rD-A1b, marissa Parungao of rD-A2a, Art Galang of rD-A2b, Dondon De Guzman of rD-A3, Bong regala, Jr. of rD-A4 and the hardworking lito Soriano of rD-A5, I would like to take this honored opportunity of expressing my warm greetings to you and to the men and women who toiled hard to make this Assembly not only possible but memorable. I, personally, am excited to visit once again this former American enclave, a symbol of strength and commitment, to share this precious opportunity of meeting colleagues converging for one noble purpose, that of strengthening a legacy of empowerment through professional excellence.

mabuhay po kayong lahat! mabuhay ang arkitektong Filipino!

Cheers!

On behalf of the College of Fellows, I convey our sincere greetings the UAP Area-A Vice-President michael V. Tomeldan, FUAP and the equally dynamic District Directors, Chapter Presidents, Officers, Council members and members on your Area-A Assembly scheduled 20 -21 February 2009 at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone,

Olongapo. your theme “Overcoming Challenges to the Architectural Practice: Unified Action Geared Towards Professional Excellence” is an affirmation of your dedication and efforts in the continuing promotion of the highest standards of conduct and excellence in architecture in the Philippines.

The UAP College of Fellows is most willing to be an essential link in laying the foundations of a brighter future for architects and Philippine Architecture. To dispel any myth about the College of Fellows, you are all welcome to access our webpage at www.uapcof.co.cc. We can do our part through dynamic participation in providing assistance and support to the various professional development projects of UAP Area-A.

Mabuhay ang United Architects of the Philippines Area-A!

Warm greetings to all the delegates!Once again we come together to foster new

friendships and renew old bonds with our fellow architects from all over luzon. We hope that we will all take this opportunity to learn new things that will enhance our practice of the profession.

We the organizing committee are very happy of the turnout of the delegates. It shows great interest and enthusiasm on their part. We hope that this Area A Assembly will truly be significant and meaningful to all of us.

I want to thank all of the people who were involved in this undertaking. Truly without their unselfish and devoted help, this would have not been possible.

maraming salamat at mabuhay ang UAP!

DISTrICT A1b is composed of four (4) chapters occupying the eastern half of luzon more popularly known as Cagayan Valley. nueva Vizcaya Chapter

is at the gateway followed by Isabela – Sierra madre Chapter and at the northern tip is Cagayan Valley Chapter, the mother Chapter and the youngest chapter which is Cagayan north.

Geographically we seemed so very far apart but professionally it doesn’t stop us from having our regular District Council meetings, Sportsfest and Fellowships.

my assumption to the Directorship of UAP DISTrICT A1b came at a time when the UnITED ArChITECTS of the PhIlIPPInES was at a crossroads. A time when decisive and crucial decisions were to be made. A time when old and new friendships were to be strengthened and forged. At stake was the credibility of the Profession and the Organization. Thanks to the able leadership of our national President, Arch. medeliano T. roldan, the UnITED ArChITECTS of the PhIlIPPInES stayed on course.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Chapter Officers and the General membership for their unconditional support. To Arch. mike Tomeldan, Vice President for Area A and members of the Organizing Committee for making this Area A Assembly happen. COnGrATUlATIOnS.

On behalf of the officers and members of my district, area A1a, la Union Chapter., Baguio Chapter – Baguio – Summer

Capital Chapter ylocos – Vigan Chapter, Ilocos – Ciudad Fernandina Chapter – Ilocos – laoag Chapter., I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the officers and members of UAP Area A headed by our dynamic VP area a Arch. mike Tomeldan on our ArEA ASSEmBly which will be held from February 20–21 2009 at Subic.

I enjoin you fellow architects to actively participate and continue providing leadership towards the goals of our organization the UaP.

This leadership should not be geared toward self improvement but should be directed towards the upliftment of our profession.

Our God, the Almighty being the Chief Architect of the universe will guide and lead us for his greater glory.

To all the delegates – Welcome and mabuhay ang Arkitektong Pilipino

mabuhay ang Area A! mabuhay ang UAP!

mA. sATUrNiNA crisosTomo-PArUNGAo, uapregional District Director, Area A2a

I enjoin the whole UAP Area A in the celebration of this momentous annual assembly with its theme “Overcoming Global

Challenges to the Architectural Profession”. Through the able leadership and the unwavering support of our national officers, there is no doubt that we, the Filipino Architects, will face and conquer all challenges of this profession as long as we are united.

my heartfelt congratulations to Area A Vice- President michael V. Tomeldan, Area A Assembly Chairman Arch. Amerigo T. Dela Paz , my Co-District Directors and the Organizing Committee who poured time and efforts to make this event possible.

my gratitude to all delegates who have the dedication and commitment to our organization, having a common goal to promote the highest standards of conduct and excellence of this architectural profession.

From UAP Area A-2a, welcome and congratulations! mabuhay Arkitektong Filipino!


To all my colleagues and friends of the UAP- Area A, first of all my heartfelt congratulations to the men and women who have worked

and supported this regional Conference of Area A, led by the Area A Vice President michael V. Tomeldan, as well as the officers and members of the UAP national Board.

This regional conference comes at a time when we need to close ranks and forge ahead with innovative but practical ideas in order to cushion the impact of the global financial crisis on our profession. The architect being at the forefront of the construction industry which has a big multiplier effect on related industries, will definitely feel the effects of such a global trend. This year’s conference theme, “Overcoming Global Challenges to the Architectural Practice” attempts to provide the architects with new insights on the way financial resources should be managed, as well as update them with the new laws concerning the profession. The conference being smaller now in scale than national events will also bring closer together the officers and members of Area A and industry partners.

Again on behalf of District A-4, my congratulations and good tidings to all!

I would like to extend my warmest felicitation to all the participants, sponsors and guests of the Area A Assembly in Subic.

This time of the year calls on all the members of Area A, sponsors and guests to again congregate and share with one another time, friendship, knowledge and camaraderie.

And may this annual event inspire us to work harder to attain our advocacy in all aspects and spectrum of human endeavors! may this gathering weave the fibers of our Area’s soul to continue working towards the upliftment of the profession and UAP.

mabuhay ang Area A! mabuhay ang UAP!
