Greetings UAP Marikina Valley Chapter.

In behalf of the UAP National Officers, allow me to extend our warmest felicitations from the UAP National President Guillermo Hisancha and the rest of the National Board to UAP Marikina Valley Chapter on your Turnover and Induction Ceremonies for the Chapter Officers Fiscal Year 2017-2018

.

The UAP Marikina Valley Chapter is one of the closest, if not, the closest and most appreciative chapter of this administration in terms of dedicated service and of commitment. This can be gleaned from the trust bestowed on its members by the National Administration in performing activities and services for the National organization. The most obvious of which is the Construction Exhibit (CONEX 2017) during the National Convention, which was handled by this Chapter. And of course, the immensely successful handling of this activity by your chapter.

Not only that, there are also other members of this chapter serving dedicatedly In the UAP Headquarters in several or different positions, adding more prestige and honor for the chapter. Service to the organization is well written in the books of this illustrious chapter.

UAP DISTRICT DIRECTOR A5 ARCH. ROXAS MESSAGE TO TURNOVER CEREMONIES FOR 2017-2018 MARVALLEY ACT

On behalf of the UAP Regional District A5 Council, I wish to extend my warm congratulations to both the outgoing and incoming Officers of UAP Marikina Valley Chapter on your Turnover and Induction Ceremonies which will be held on June 5, 2017. This event is a momentous occasion at this place and time, as we tenaciously worked out with increasing zeal, new dreams and new approaches for the greatness of our beloved organization for the coming Fiscal Year 2017-2018.

For the elected Officers of the UAP Marikina Valley Chapter, you know that you have been entrusted crucial positions in this chapter, I bid you not only congratulations but also a well-meaning “good luck” on all your chapter’s future. I can only give you this message….. Governance is not all about powers; it’s more of responsibilities. You are now tasked with the crucial duty of steering your chapter to greatness or to oblivion. Your predecessors shall remember you by the legacy you leave behind. I believe that great leaders are made and not quite born.

So therefore, to the current Officers of UAP Marikina Valley Chapter: ALWAYS THINK THAT YOU ARE HEROES AND CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  I am sure you recognize the incredible power you have to influence what people see in the buildings we design, what people hear and what people believe. You are different because you are always eager to innovate and are bold in action. 

You are driven by the same powerful impulse - an unrelenting hunger to excel; an unwavering commitment to pursue fresh heights of excellence. With such spirit and energy, I hope that the Officers of UAP Marikina Valley Chapter can create a further upward inflexion in our strong trajectory of growth and development.

Mabuhay ang UAP Marikina Valley! Mabuhay ang UAP!

UAP PRESIDENT ARCH. HISANCHA's MESSAGE TO TURNOVER CEREMONIES FOR 2017-2018 MARVALLEY ACT

As part of our renewal - we need to fight problems, not just wait for them to take place - Nong Duc Manh

On behalf of the National Board of Directors, it is with deepest honor and privilege that I take this opportunity to congratulate the officers and members of UAP Marikina Valley Chapter for Fiscal Year 2017-2018.

Today, we mark new beginnings by gathering in solidarity; we celebrate our community; we commit ourselves to UAP and all it represents, in a new chapter of its distinguished rich history.

The second term of my new administration under the sincere thrust “Unity + Accountability + Professional Excellence” is confident that UAP Marikina Valley Chapter will always maintain your responsibilities and duties for the betterment of the UAP, inspired by your theme: “Globally Oriented   and Technically Equipped Architects of the New Millennium”

Your mutual commitment to the organization and with your individual capabilities as exceptional leaders are the reason why we are called to lead this great organization, and will always be the greatest attributes that would bring UAP Marikina Valley Chapter to continuing excellence and at the same time provide the entire organization the boost of encouragement to move on despite the many challenges we face.

We should bear in mind that in unity there is strength. That might seem, like an over-used cliché. But in the profession of architects, we need to dismantle the walls that have been erected, to keep us from being united. We must seek to reconcile, and reunite with colleagues, especially those from other architects’ associations, or groups. In these efforts, there will be heartfelt unity among architects.

UAP AREA A VP ARCH. ANDRES MESSAGE TO TURNOVER CEREMONIES FOR 2017-2018 MARVALLEY ACT
