On Being Active at the UAP

When I started my membership with the UAP, it was just for show and for the IAPOA. Add to that the problem with distance of the UAP GMM venues, and our desire not to be active with the UAP.

Now I am typing the minutes of the meeting as co-secretary for our chapter (my second chapter eventually). It seems you can't escape the fact that you need to be associated with your fellow Architects, belong to a group and be active. And being active as an officer is not that bad and is actually a good thing, so as to be further active in the organization.

Being active also provides a venue for development, and/or reviving of my interest in the profession, as being stuck in a rut most of the time is not healthy...

Hello. I am a young Filipino Architect who refuses to follow my contemporaries abroad, hoping to make it here in the Philippines. Feel free to join me as I try to write down what it's like to be a government architect, freelancer, master plumber and masteral student in urban planning, and downright stubborn person who has his usual professional ups and downs.

I hope I can sustain this memoirs, as I have attempted several time to write down how it is to be an Architect, hunting projects, feeling the burn, getting rejection and getting redemption.

Enjoy!!!
