July 26, 2012 was a special day for Corinthian Architects
when more than 90 members attended the 1st General Membership
Meeting to witness the Induction of Officers and New Members at the Bayleaf
Hotel in Intramuros, Manila.
The event was graced with the presence of the UAP Vice
President for Area B. Arch. Ernesto Tianco, representing our National President
Arch. Rosanno Rosal as Guest of Honor.
Arch. Tianco was full of humor as he inspires and encouraged Corinthian
architects on the UAP National thrust for the year,
"Protect the PROFESSION, Promote the PRACTICE, SERVE THE MEMBERS".
"Protect the PROFESSION, Promote the PRACTICE, SERVE THE MEMBERS".
We are also fortunate that our Regional District Director
for B2 Arch. Aurora “Babes” Medina facilitated the Charging of Officers and New
Members, and the Oath by our Area B Vice President. Arch. Medina also provided insights on the Districts Thrust
on “Moving Ahead in the Practice of the Profession”.

The biggest surprise of the evening was when our Immediate
Past District Director: Arch. Mark
Louie Soriquez announced that UAP Manila Corinthian Chapter is the Model
Chapter for District B2 for the Fiscal year 2011-2012, making it our fifth. This was an unexpected but welcomed
surprise for the chapter and a timely gift as we start the fiscal year.
Guided by the legacy of our Past Chapter Presidents, Arch.
Ludivico P. Idano once again laid the foundations to an exciting year for all
Corinthian architects on his 2nd Term. The Chapter’s thrust for the year is “Leadership through
Passion and Inspiration: Corinthians Legacy to Service Oriented
Architecture”.
This was further explained with the 3-fold thrust of the LPI
