39th PRC Awards Night

Scheduled post. Quite delayed.

A few weeks ago I was able to attend the 39th PRC Awards Night for the 2012 Outstanding Professionals and Outstanding Professional Organizations at the Manila Hotel. Our outgoing Chapter President couldn't make it to the event so I was tasked with the duty of accompanying UAP's outgoing National President in meeting Shamcey who was one of the hosts of that night.

While waiting for around 2 hours, I had the privilege of getting to know NP even just a bit and I was able to gain some insight on what it was like to be the UAP National President. To my friend(s) who would someday want to be one (yes, you know who you are), being the NP is no easy task. I believe it is meant only for those who have the heart to serve (and with plenty of time).

To our outgoing NP, another award that night would have been the icing on top of the cake. But service rendered well is like cheesecake - an advocacy fulfilled that by itself is more than enough. I salute you Sir! See you at the golf course!

Let the pictures that Glenn and Dax took do the talking. As always, I was too lazy to take pics. Which is an all-time low for me now considering the fact that I don't like getting my picture taken anymore. So I'm not in front or behind the camera... Now, where would I be then?

And that's it for UAP TSC FY 2011-2012. We won Area A Best Chapter, National Best Chapter, and finally, District A3's Model Chapter.

Here's an excerpt from the justification letter I wrote on UAP TSC for Model Chapter -

A Thanksgiving Party for the FY 2011-2012 will be held on May 31. In special awards and citations as a Chapter and for the individual brilliance of its members, TSC was consistently recognized throughout the year. It is without doubt that Arch. Shamcey Supsup’s personal achievement marks a milestone for the profession. Licensure Examination for Architecture Board Topnotchers continue to bring pride and serve as testament to the discipline and privilege of the practice. Awardees for invaluable service to the National organization, accredited professionals in various design and regulation commissions, and finalists in design competitions and sportsfests further add to the roster of TSC members. But what remains UAP TSC’s most stellar achievement, and perhaps what it is most thankful for, is that the United Architects of the Philippines Tandang Sora Chapter has served its purpose well as a professional organization for yet another year. 

And with that, I am no longer the chapter secretary. All that's left is that promised website and my IAPOA renewal.
