Quadripartite is a nationwide annual event organized by the United Architects of the
Philippines - Student Auxiliary (UAPSA) Committee. With this year’s theme, “Exceeding Limitations through Boundless Connections”, the event aims to amplify ideas, reunite as one community, and explore cultural diversity. It was held at different places in Manila on August 25-27, 2018. The three-day event consisted of three segments with the themes: Hibayo, Balanghai, Layag, and Paraw. Hibayo (amplifier in English), the theme for Chapter Presidents’ Assembly and Induction Ceremony, was held at UAP Headquarters on August 25, 2018. As leaders gather from different areas of the Philippines, every individual’s testimonials and recommendations were encouraged for the development of the organization. They believe that their voices are the strength and driving force of the organization for its continuous growth. The registration for the Induction Ceremony started at 7AM. From the sophisticated Modern Filipiñana and Barong attires of the officers and guests down to their polished leather footwears, the delegates made a very good starter of the event. The rites officially began at 9AM by a prayer led by the Vice Presidents of 4 areas. As per the Chapter Presidents’ Assembly, the District Directors presented the compiled reports of their corresponding chapter presidents followed by the Managing Committee who presented their plans and progress on their own offices. An open discussion took place which mostly tackled the benefits of membership, how to have their own discount partners, and parent chapter relationships. On the other hand, Leadership Development Program: Balanghai took place on the second day, August 26, 2018 at the Quirino Grandstand. The registration was arranged in accordance with their teams. The games then followed where architectural competitions were included which had separate awards. The event ended at 4PM by splashing water to the assembly area provided by the Manila City Hall which was secured by the local government’s provision of emergency personnel, ambulance and the police. On the third and last day of Quadripartite 2018, Layag (to sail in English) brought the ship into the shores of the event. This segment aims to inculcate deeper knowledge of the country’s diverse culture and explore them to find the common things among individuals to know their identity and solidarity. As the delegates were reunited and bonded during the Leadership development program, major foundations were set to go together with one goal and vision for the organization. Katig or the members worked hand-on-hand to support the organization for the development of every individual. On the other hand, the evening event began late since crowd control has been a problem. Since the venue was dimly lit, most delegates often go out which results in the event venue to be locked for security purposes. Even with the given circumstances, the event went smoothly as it started.
