UNITED ARCHITECTS OF THE PHILIPPINES ASIA PACIFIC COUNCIL APC Journal Final | Page 10

APC JOURNAL | Volume 1 2018 edition The advent of ASEAN integration presents a new challenge that we have to address head on. As both overseas Filipino based architects and local Chapters, we are also facing challenges in terms of sustainability and relevance. The birth of UAP Asia Pacific Council gives us a platform to work with our fellow chapters facing the same. The network and friendship it forges strenghten further our resolve to pursue greater heights. CPD, in particular, will be addressed with our shared resources and expertise. All our concerns can also be consolidated and we will present a common suggestions and solutions for UAP to consider. This is just a beginning. There will be more challenges ahead. But with unity in our group, we shall overcome. Congratulations to us. Mabuhay ang Arkitektong Filipino. Mabuhay ang UAP. Mabuhay ang APC. Arch. Richard Miren R.
