Congratulations to the ACHIEVERS Book Committee who dedicated their time and talent to finish this book which was started 12 years ago by Ar. Ricardo Poblete!
Thanks to past Chancellor Ana Mangalino Ling for her determination to complete this book by mailing the pages back and forth to the COF members for their approval; for Corazon F. Tandoc and Maria Elena Carlos Cayanan who meticulously edited the biographies, making 5 pages of stories or enumeration into 500 words life story; to Benedict Hermoso for research of the works of long gone COF members and going to the site to photograph some projects; and to Chancellor Mon Mendoza for his relentless determination to publish this book this year!
We are also grateful to the current National Board especially to NP Beth for supporting this project of the COF.
This Achievers book is a compilation of the biographies and lifetime achievements of 80 distinguished members of the College of Fellows and 12 Likha Awardees of the United Architects of the Philippines. These Architects have been the backbone of the profession and the organization through their many years of practice and serving. It is with great pleasure and honour that we feature their significant works and invaluable accomplishments.
As you read through this rare collection of talents, you will be inspired by these remarkable professionals who dedicated their lives in making our built environment a better place for all of us.
To those who are striving to elevate the profession and achieve greatness, this is for you… so that others may follow.

On April 16-18, 2015, thousands of architects and design professionals will convene in Metro Manila for the 41st UAP Annual Convention and CONEX 2015, the industry's most comprehensive national event. As these practitioners gather on the expo floor, exhibitors at CONEX 2015 will have a unique opportunity to capture interest, engage contacts, and drive sales.
These 3 photos were taken during the Inclusive Education Forum Held at the Asian Institute of Management last January 21, 2015. The drafted amendment on Inclusive Education (formerly called Special Education Act) was presented to the body, composed of Council of Children With Disabilities, DPT-Ed Advisory Board, PWD NGOs, PWDs representatives, Dept-Ed officials, NCDA, and all other government and non-government organizations. One of the provision of the draft is to have all schools accessible to Students With disabilities.
During the forum, Ar. Jaime Silva volunteered the UAP Committee On Accessibility together with the Makati CBD Chapter, to help Dept-Ed in the conduct of walkthrough survey to determine how accessible these NCR Dept-Ed schools are accessible to Students With Disabilities. Since Ar. Silva has gotten confirmation from Makati CBD Chapter President Ar. Richard Franco to help the Committee On Accessibility, he asked Ar. Vanessa Ledesma, a board member of the Makati CBD Chapter to join him in that forum.

It has been noted that to date, there are still some architects who pay their registration fees to the 41st UAP NATCON account despite the closing of the NATCON registration last March 25, and the advise to the bank that deposits for the registration fees should no longer be accepted. At the moment, the names of these architects cannot be identified yet.
We wish to however reiterate that though we would like to accommodate all interested architects, we have already reached the TARGET MAXIMUM AND MANAGEABLE NUMBER of delegates, leaving us no other option but to close the registration effective March 25.
Given this, we regret that we are left with no other recourse but to refund the payments for those who can no longer be accommodated. We will advise the concerned architects once we have finalized the list for the same.
We seek you utmost understanding and cooperation on the matter.
Thank you.

One of the factors that is needed to improve the Nation’s health care status is through the provision of good and efficient primary health care facilities in the local government units. Health Futures Foundation, Inc. (HFI) headed by former DOH Secretary Dr. Jaime Z. Galvez Tan, a non-governmental organization who advocates the improvement of the primary health care for all Filipinos, has committed to pursue a program on the Nationwide modernization of local government barangay health centers.
Among the advocacies of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) is to strengthen its ties with the National and Local Government Units through its various service oriented project collaboration with the different national and local government agencies. With that, UAP has signified its intention to assist the HFI in its Nationwide Barangay Health Centers modernization project,
The partnership aims to establish an alliance between HFI and UAP to promote the sustainable design and development of a modernized health care facility through the design and renovation of barangay health.
The partnership involves the following scope wherein HFI shall implement a nationwide assessment, evaluation, design and renovation of the physical site and facilities of barangay health centers and on the other hand, UAP shall mobilize its 137 chapters to assist the HFI in conducting the assessment, evaluation, design, renovation or construction of the physical site and facilities of barangay health centers.
As a result of the Memorandum of Agreement forged between the two parties, several barangay health centers were constructed and facilitated by the different UAP chapters. The most recent ones are the four barangay health centers located in Samar which were coordinated by UAP District C3 under the stewardship of District Director Joel Jao.
Completed barangay health centers are located in Brg. Tinabanan, Marabut, Samar and in Brgy. Palactad, Quinapondan, Eastern Samar
