MAY I ALWAYS BUILD
I will open my eyes to VISION, that I may unlock the message in the stone and the clay. Let me sense in the sand
and the iron and the tree the Mystery beyond all mysteries, the Builder beyond all buildings. With Vision,
MAY I ALWAYS BUILD.
I will open my mind to HUMILITY, that I may remember my debt to those who have taught me, and strive to
discharge it to those who I teach. Let me be always aware that my days are short, my work is long, my talent
endures not forever. In humility, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD.
I will open my heart to PATIENCE, that those for whom I plan may not be denied their true answer through any
haste of mine or shallow expediency. As my art grows in the building of man’s shelter, so may my heart grow in
the building of man’s happiness. Patiently,
MAY I ALWAYS BUILD.
I will open my hands to ARTISTRY, that I may skillfully turn point, line and plane to the support and protection of
man’s body, to the nourishment of his hope, to the preservation of his culture. Let my tools be adroit and ready
weapons in his resistance to decay and his struggle to be free. With Artistry, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD.
Even if the whole world ravage and destroy, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD. Let my work go beyond creed and color and
nation, bridging the world of difference, letting fall to ruin the House of War and enlarging the House of Peace.
While the breath of the Great Architect is in me, MAY I ALWAYS BUILD.
St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Barbara, patron saints of architects, pray for us.

HISTORY
Architecture, as practiced in the Philippines during the Spanish era, was not by virtue of an academic title. There were
no architectural schools in the country and the only architects with academic degrees were Spaniards. However, the first
Filipino recorded architect was Felix Roxas y Arroyo of Binondo, Manila.
The closest the Filipino could aspire to practice as an architect was as Maestro de Obras or Master Builder. The first
academic school to train these maestros was the Escuela Practica y Professional de Artes y Officio de Manila, founded
by the Spanish government in 1880. In 1900 the first private school to offer an academic title for Maestro de Obras
was the Liceo de Manila.
From the early 1930s to the late ‘50s, associations of architects came and went, but three of these survived
until the early ‘70s. These were: the League of Philippine Architects (LPA), the Association of Philippine Architects
(APGA), and the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA).
The profession of Architecture was given its first separate statute on June 17, 1950 with the enactment of
Republic Act 545, “An Act to Regulate the Practice of Architecture in the Philippines.”
In December 1971 President Ferdinand E. Marcos officially declared the second week of December as
Nationwide Architecture Week.
President Marcos issued PD 223 in June 1973 creating the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) with
the duty of regulating all the professions and accrediting only one professional organization to represent
each profession.
Recognizing the need to formally integrate, the three architectural associations, APGA, LPA and PIA
each appointed three representatives to form the Panel of Negotiators in May 1973.
To implement the terms of integration agreed upon by the three architectural organizations,
a 15-man Ad-Hoc Commission was authorized to prepare the Constitution and By-Laws of
the newly integrated association.
One year later, the respective Board of Directors of the three organizations on
December 12, 1974 unanimously approved the Constitution and By-Laws. In order
to effectively pursue the objectives and perform its task and duties under the joint
resolution, the Ad-Hoc Commission was authorized to sit as an Interim Board to
administer, implement and coordinate the various activities of the new organization
until the first regular Board of Directors and Officers was duly elected.
The new integrated society was called the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP).
Members of the three organizations numbering a total of 1,300, automatically
became members of the UAP and during its first year, 700 members officially
registered for active membership.
ON MARCH 26, 1975 THE UNITED ARCHITECTS OF THE PHILIPPINES REGISTERED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. UAP BECAME THE FIRST
ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION WHEN ON MAY 12, 1975 THE
PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION ISSUED CERTIFICATE NO. 001 TO THE
UAP AS THE DULY ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR ARCHITECTS
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
On June 17, 1976, the UAP informed the Union Internationale des Architectes
(UIA) of the integration of the three architectural organizations under the
UAP and requested for recognition of the UIA as its National Section in the
Philippines.
On March 22-25, 1979, the UAP organized a National Conference on
Architectural Education at the Development Academy of the Philippines in
Tagaytay City. The Conference resulted in the endorsement of a new ladder-
type curriculum for architectural education, which was approved by the
Ministry of Education and Culture and adopted by schools and colleges of
architecture in the Philippines.
U The same year saw the approval of the new Architects’ National Code by
n
ite the PRC. This code was prepared by the UAP as a standard of ethics and
d
A practice for the practice of architecture in the Philippines.
rch
ite In recognition of UAP’s involvement in government program and activities,
cts o the Metro Manila Commission appointed UAP members to constitute the
f th Board of Advisers for urban design and development for Metro Manila.

primary objective is to foster friendly, intellectual, artistic, education and scientific relation among national institutes
of Architects in Asia. {Later this was changed to Arcasia Council of Architectural Education (ACAE)}.
In the same year, UAP also became a founding member of the ASEAN Association for Planning and Housing
(AAPH).
In December 1979, the UAP organized a four-month activity entitled “Filipino Technology in the 80’s” in collaboration
with the five professional organizations, two ASEAN organizations, 14 government agencies and schools of
architecture.
During the closing of the “Filipino Technology in the 80’s” on March 20, 1980, President Marcos issued
Letter of Instruction 1000 directing all government ministries and agencies to authorize and support only
PRC accredited professional organizations like the UAP in organizing and hosting national and international
conferences and to give priority to the members of the organizations in the hiring of employees and in the
engagement of professional services.
On March 28, 1981, the UAP initiated the preparation of the document entitled “International Code
of Ethics on Consulting Services” during the Arcasia Workshop held in Manila. It was later formally
adopted by ARCASIA in its meeting in Hongkong on August 6, 1981.
UAP has submitted several documents to the Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA) concerning the laws
of the Philippines and the status of the UAP as a follow up of its application to the UIA. During its meeting
at Honolulu, Hawaii on June 4-5, 1982, the UIA Bureau concluded that “legally according to the laws of the
Philippines, the UAP is the only organization with the right to represent the Filipino architects either in the
Philippines or internationally and particularly with regards to the UIA.”
The result of this meeting was forwarded to the UAP and upon request of UIA, the UAP paid its annual
dues on August 24, 1982.
On January 24-26, 1983 during the meeting of the UIA Council at Santiago, Chile, the Council
passed Resolution No. 9 stating that “following the laws of the Philippines and the UIA Statutes,
UAP legally became the National Section.” A certification to this effect was issued to the UAP in
April 1983.
The meeting of ARCASIA in Lahore, Pakistan in August 1983 approved the proposal of UAP to host
and organize the First Asian Congress of Architects (ACA-1) in Manila in October 1984.
The Sixth Asian Congress of Architects (ACA-6) was also held in Manila in December 1994.
Besides being the country’s prime professional organization of architects, UAP is also strongly
committed to social responsibility and has taken an active role in various socio-civic programs
and projects. Its corporate savvy and socio-civic commitments have been recently recognized
by the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) of the National
Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) as the sole Regional Nominee (Region IV)
to the 2005 Philippine’s Search for Outstanding Volunteers in recognition of its
exemplary volunteer work in addressing housing problems, urban degradation
and environmental conservation and promotion of volunteerism for
socio-economic development. UAP is the only accredited professional
organization to receive such recognition.
After the passage of Republic Act No. 9266, the PRC-BoA issued
Resolution No. 03, series of 2004 recognizing UAP as the Integrated and
Accredited Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA). ers
b
More importantly, UAP is the first and only Most Outstanding Accredited Professional m
e
M
Organization (APO) to receive the Most Outstanding APO Award four times (Years e
h
2002, 2007, 2008 & 2011) in the award’s eighteen-year history, and the first APO to e t
v
win the award in consecutive years (Year 2007 and Year 2008). er

&
The Most Outstanding APO Award is the highest award that could be conferred upon an e
accredited professional organization by the PRC. It is presented annually to recognize actic
the achievements, services and commitment of the APO to the profession. e Pr

t
While this award marks a significant milestone in UAP’s journey towards professional ote
m
excellence, it is not the end of UAP’s continuous improvements. Today, UAP aims o
Pr
to become a prime organization of professional architects and to be responsive to n,

the needs of its professionals, profession, professional product while preserving the essi
UAP-IAPOA’s larger, enduring role as a vanguard of architecture profession where of

seeking balance in all of these roles, even in the face of the uncertainties and the ect t
rapidly changing forces that surround the Filipino architects. ot

and never resort to these means to further malicious motives.
