Your theme, “The Power of Architecture – Dream, Create, and Transform" is a strong and reassuring indication of your dynamism and why your organization was thrice recognized as the Most Outstanding Accredited Professional Organization by the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC).

We are likewise committed to fostering performance, transparency and accountability through quality reform legislation so that we can raise the quality of life of our people. Let us sustain the gains we have painstakingly achieved and spread its benefits to benefit our countrymen throughout the archipelago. I call on UAP’s greater participation as we find solutions to help our country thrive in the face of global economic challenges. Mabuhay! PROSPERO C. NOGRALES Speaker of the House 9 SMX Convention Center • Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines • 23-26 April 2009 Republic of the Philippines SUPREME COURT Many associate architecture with nothing more than the design of structures. It is often thought of as a field that relates to the aesthetics alone – how a building, a bridge, or a house will look like. But the significance of architecture is so much more than appearance alone. In the heart of every architect should be the people, the human population, who will be working in that building, crossing that bridge, and most ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind. Architecture is one of those professions where brilliance stems out of love. It is a profession where one strives out of his or her desire to create the greatest ambiance possible in the celebration of life. That is what architecture is about – it is not only about designing, but about designing for the people, who just like the architects are journeying through life. In the 35th UAP National Convention, it is my hope that you would all continue to stay true to your profession. Poor architecture is an injustice to the people who are in pursuit of happiness. It is an injustice to the people who embrace life and have vowed to live to the fullest.

  • 2005 Annual Regional Economic Situationer (ARES)
    . CAGAYAN VALLEY ANNUAL REGIONAL ECONOMIC SITUATIONER (ARES) 2005 ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE Economic adversities and natural calamities pulled back the economic performance of Region 02 in the year 2005 as all the major sectors of the regional economy registered setbacks. Specifically, the decreases were recorded in agricultural production, tourism, air transport industry, and investments generated. The prolonged dry spell coupled with floods brought by typhoon “Labuyo” exacted a heavy toll on agriculture sector. While there were government measures implemented to boost production of palay, corn and other crops such as the usage of high-yielding and certified seeds, this was not enough to restrain the impact of the fortuitous weather conditions occurring in the region. Nonetheless, fishery production stepped up by 9.34 percent owing to the improvements in municipal fishing and significant gains in aquaculture. As a consequence of these natural calamities and the VAT law, inflation rate in the region went up to 6.88 percent. Inflation rate on food items increased as the weather took its toll on the supplies of these commodities. Likewise, prices of dairy products went up pulled by the implementation of the VAT which directly affects this type of food groups (processed and canned goods). The rise in the crude oil prices and the implementation of VAT, led also to the increases in transport fares, water and electricity tariffs. Related to the slide in agricultural production and increase in prices, investments generated in the region reflected a dormant performance as it barely grew by 0.86 percent. This decline was evident in all the three sectors, the Services sector having the biggest number of workers laid off during the year.

Valentino Sitoy, Jr. United Church of Christ in the Philippines FOREWORD To capture in print a history of a people in their faith journey is itself a miracle! Indeed, it is the work of the Holy Spirit manifesting itself in the ingenuity and intellect of church scholars, such as this particular author. To be able to delve into the peculiarities of each of the uniting churches - each with its own particular historical journey - and weave them into one fabric of a United Church of Christ in the Philippines is indeed a work of genius. Leaping out of the pages are familiar names of persons, places and events as the stories of each of the denominational springs flow into the one stream of a church body, losing themselves into the one body. And as the names are read again and again, by individuals and groups of this volume, they will come to life and bring back memories of the many pioneers of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, without whom we will not be what we are today, nor hope to be what we ought to be, in the future.

  • History of Philippine Architecture ARCHITECT MANUEL D
    History of Philippine Architecture ARCHITECT MANUEL D. C. NOCHE The history and culture of the Philippines are reflected in its architectural heritage, in the dwellings of its various peoples, in churches and mosques, and in the buildings that have risen in response to the demands of progress and the aspirations of the people. Architecture in the Philippines today is the result of a natural growth enriched with the absorption of varied influences. It developed from the pre-colonial influences of our neighboring Malay brothers, continuing on to the Spanish colonial period, the American Commonwealth period, and the modern contemporary times. As a result, the Philippines has become an architectural melting pot-- uniquely Filipino with a tinge of the occidental. The late national hero for architecture, Leandro Locsin once said, that Philippine Architecture is an elusive thing, because while it makes full use of modern technology, it is a residue of the different overlays of foreign influences left in the Philippines over the centuries: the early Malay culture and vestiges of earlier Hindu influences, the more than 300 years of Spanish domination, the almost 50 years of American rule, the Arab and Chinese influences through commerce and trade over the centuries. What resulted may have been a hybrid, a totally new configuration which may include a remembrance of the past, but transformed or framed in terms of its significance today. The Philippine's architectural landscape is a contrast among small traditional huts built of wood, bamboo, nipa, grass, and other native materials; the massive Spanish colonial churches, convents and fortifications, with their heavy "earthquake baroque" style; the American mission style architecture as well as the buildings of commerce with their modern 20th century styles; and today's contemporary, albeit "modern mundane" concrete structures of the cities.
