The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) held its Annual National Elections 2012 last April 20, 2012 at the SMX Convention Center as part of the activities of the 38th UAP National Convention on April 18-21, 2012 with the theme "Architectural Pride: Landmarks, Leadership and Legacy".

With 164 votes from Area B, Ar. Rosal's stronghold and an all-out support from UAP Cavite and other Area B3 Chapters, gave him a sure ticket to the National President's post for F.Y. 2012-2013.
UAP National President-elect Sonny Rosal promotes "U=1 ! Together we can be ONE Profession, ONE Practice and ONE Organization !!! ONE VOICE ! ONE UAP...Strong and United! EVERY MEMBER COUNTS!!!" as his platform for the UAP.
 Ar. Rosal with Cavite Architects during UAP Cavite's Heritage Tour to the Aguinaldo Shrine last December 2011. According to his facebook fan page Sonny Rosal for UAP National President 2012, "Sonny Rosal obtained his B.S. Degree in Architecture from National University in 1985, and became a registered Licensed Architect in the same year. He is a “Small Practice” Architect, whose main expertise is residential and small-scale commercial design. He is also an International Associate member of AIA.
Having held many key positions in the chapter and national level, from Chapter Director, Chapter President, District Director, and Vice-President for Area B in 1998 and 2010, he has proven his unending love for service to the UAP. He was also appointed to numerous standing committees of the UAP that implements the organization’s service and flagship projects, like the Task Force R.A. 9266, whose primary task is to promote and disseminate the law to the members and the public, and the Task Force Watch Dog in 2004 to 2006, which implements and safeguards the law and the architectural profession."

 The Krokis Special Anniversary Issue's front cover. KROKIS, the official news courier & publication of the United Architects of the Philippines-Cavite Chapter (Arkitektong Kabitenyo) goes live on April 17, 2012 with its special anniversary issue "Usapang Kape" through its official website www.krokis.weebly.com as part of its effort to easily communicate to a greater number of readers, particularly the Cavite Chapter's growing number of members so they could learn more about the chapter's initiatives and updates.
According to The Krokis Editor-in-Chief, Ar. Michael Lorenzo Angelo L. Memoracion, UAP, the move to launch an online version of its publication not only aims to promptly cascade information to its members but also as its contribution to a more sustainable and greener environment by minimizing printed copies of the publication and encourages everyone to go paperless. "We understand that our members are unable to attend the chapter's monthly General Membership Meeting (GMM) at all times due to limitations on their schedules and other circumstances. It is the publication's role then to keep them posted about what is happening to the chapter so they will not be left behind. This should also encourage non-active members to comeback and get involved with the chapter's projects and activities." -- added Ar. Memoracion.The KROKIS is made available for free to all bona fide members of UAP-Cavite and its affiliates to the profession, architectural academe, and allied professionals. Krokis is a vernacular construction term which means sketch or to sketch. As an architect, it is but an integral part of our profession - to sketch. It is not as simple as gripping a pencil and etching the lines in order to create a composition. It is a beautiful and intricate process of having one’s ideas and solutions flowing from the architect’s mind translated into a coherent piece, a part and parcel of converting one’s dream into real space of a built environment.

And the winning answer, “Itu-tour ko siya sa buong Pilipinas, because It’s More Fun in the Philippines!”, said the 24-year old Architect from Cavite, representing Area B during the Q&A portion of the Beach Dude and Beach Babe Competition.
