UBLC Architecture's 3rd Annual General Assembly

September 05, 2020

As we welcome the new academic year with the new normal, the United Architects of
the Philippine Student Auxiliary UB Lipa Chapter conducted a 3rd Annual General
Assembly last September 05, 2020 via Google Meet, various activities were performed
including the motivational speeches of our professors. The event was successful
nonetheless, the officers came up with the comics theme to make it more fascinating.
Along the event, the professors one by one gave their motivational speeches. Since
they know how hard and long this program we are taking, as soon as possible they want
us to keep in touch. This program could break us physically and mentally, but they want
us to remember that these struggles and sleepless nights will hone us soon to become
a better Architect someday, regarding the situation that this new normal of teaching
could hinder most of us, our professors promised that they will still give the quality
education we deserved, that this pandemic will never be a barrier for us. Afterwards,
Immediate Past President, Ariane Joy R. Bautista, recognized the newly elected officers
for the fiscal year 2020-2021, for our Chapter President, Joshua B. Pureza, who will
serve the Architecture community together with the officers. He also gave his speeches
for his fellow students, likewise, his inspiring words yearns to inspire students most
especially our first years. He vowed to make this year fruitful and ineluctable despite the
current pandemic. It would be hard and unprecedented to handle the situation, but
positively, they will try their best to serve us good service and help. On the other hand,
as Ariane Joy R. Bautista gave her closing remarks to the students, she wishes us a
good luck for our new school year.
It was wrapped up, many students have wholeheartedly participated on our virtual
General Assembly. Hardworks were paid for the officers who managed the event,
although this was their first time, as soon as possible they did their best to welcome
everyone in the community, to embrace the new academic year together.
