Who was the first elected U.A.P. president?

• A. Jose Herrera
• B. Juan Nakpil
• C. Felipe Mendoza
• D. Guillermo Tolentino

Answer: (A)

The question is about the early leadership of the United Architects of the Philippines, the organized body that represents Filipino architects. The first elected president, Jose Herrera, helped establish the organization’s governance and direction as it began to unite practitioners under common standards and advocacy. His role set the foundation for how the UAP would operate and grow, making him the correct reference for the initial leadership. The other figures are prominent in Philippine architecture or design, but not the first to hold the presidency. Guillermo Tolentino is famed as a sculptor, not an architect, so his leadership would not fit the architectural professional body in the same way. Juan Nakpil and Felipe Mendoza became influential leaders in the profession later on, but not as the first elected president.
