A RECAP of JULY 25 2026
The United Architects of the Philippines Diliman Chapter opened Fiscal Year 2026–2027 with its 47th Anniversary and Induction Ball, held on July 25, 2026, at Quezon City Sports Club.
The evening brought together generations of architects, new and outgoing officers, new chapter members, industry partners, and distinguished guests, including keynote speaker Dean Tina Bulaong, UAP National President Ar. Joey Manalad, and members of the UAP National Board of Directors.
Hosted by new Directors Ar. Denver Fajanilan and Ar. Danielle Abelardo, the program featured the induction of new Chapter Officers, recognition of outgoing officers, the valedictory address of Immediate Past President Ar. Rachel Lea Manuel, the ceremonial turn-over of the gavel to incoming Chapter President Ar. Lucito Rafael Reyes, the awarding of the Juguilon Pin, and the inaugural address of the new Chapter President. The chapter also welcomed its new members, honored milestones through the Tatak Diliman awards, and expressed gratitude to its valued industry partners.
The celebration was made even more memorable with performances by Kontra-GaPi during the intermission, joined by Chapter President Ar. Lucito Rafael Reyes as one of the drummers, and Plano, a musical band led by UAP Diliman members, who performed during the after party and was joined by immediate Past President Ar. Rachel Lea Manuel. More than an event, the evening was a celebration of fellowship, service, leadership, and the shared legacy that continues to grow within UAP Diliman.
From strong roots, a living legacy continues this 2026-2027
