Mangrove trees represent strength and stability. Their entwined roots represent various human-related situations. We, like mangrove plants, cannot thrive on our own. The roots in our circle are linked with ours, one strengthening and stabilizing the other in who we are and what we do. Using the community centered design process, one can build our strength by establishing deep, dynamic roots that anchor us in purpose, to support others and express our gratitude for the support we receive, to spread the energies of courage and confidence by standing firm against the headwinds, and to hold “forest” health as the ultimate goal.
It is a significant conversation about how to protect, and how to EXPAND. It is not about us as leaders, designers, movers, or changemakers, but how we RESET the life of others. So that we can EMPOWER the story of people and make them feel that sense of reward that they truly deserve.
BAKAWONE is a one-stop-shop mixed-use building that aims to provide ease of access towards providing government services and public use necessities to the general mass. It aims to give Filipinos an identity leaning toward sustainability when it comes to producing spaces that are conducive to holistic development, productivity, and community-centered design. Inspired by mangroves, this building exhibits sustainable design strategies and spatial planning solutions that address post-pandemic design trends and the convergence of people in a given space. The structure acts metaphorically as purposeful as a mangrove tree. The building envelope mimics the mangrove tree as it shelters people of different diversity that CONVERGE in a given space, just as how biodiversity lives under a mangrove tree.
The Philippines is not alone in facing problems relating to providing services to its citizens. This sustainable design model is designed to be a prototype of the ecosystem of service that is anchored to nature. Designed to enhance and promote its citizens in a consolidated building footprint, saving the users time and effort of going from one building to another. BAKAWONE flow from one idea: a development and infrastructure that are shaped by ecology—letting nature regenerate and support rapidly growing populations. Designed for the CITIES OF THE FUTURE.

ARCHINEXT 2023 TOP 10
This concept for the residential condominium tower design was inspired by the kawayan (bamboo) and baklad (fish fence) which is a very local material for us, Filipinos. Bacoor is a city which has an access to the Bay area of which people used to do pagbabaklad for a living. The use of bamboo was utilized in this kind of livelihood due to its characteristics of being matayog at matibay (tall and durable). It is also symbolic to the elderly traits.

COLAB: RESEARCH CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION
COLAB: Application of Rhizome Theory in the Spatial Planning of a Research Institute” is a groundbreaking research proposal envisioning a state-of-the-art Research Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Muntinlupa City. Rooted in the Rhizome Theory, this project explores a dynamic and interconnected approach to spatial planning, drawing inspiration from the organic growth patterns of rhizomes. The proposal aims to create a collaborative and adaptable environment, seamlessly integrating research facilities, communal spaces, and cutting-edge technology. By embracing the principles of rhizomatic thinking, COLAB seeks to revolutionize the traditional concept of research institutes, fostering innovation, flexibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the critical field of disease prevention.
This study explores the feasibility and viability of establishing a Research Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the Philippines, with a focus on the effect of spatial configuration on capacity building and productivity. Using a mixed-method approach, including quantitative surveys, focus interviews, and document analysis, the study examines spatial elements and factors that would be suited for effectiveness, hindrances, and spatial factors affecting productivity inside the research facility, and the application of the Rhizome Theory as an approach to solving these issues.
The findings reveal a lack of space and resources, inadequate storage, research and diagnostic laboratories, and modern research equipment and facilities, which hinder the ability of researchers to conduct high-quality research and collaborate. Based on the research, the study recommends designing the facility with the Rhizome Theory as an approach to allow for easy reconfiguration and expansion, dividing it into distinct zones for different types of research, and incorporating on-stilt buildings for effective isolation of highly infectious spaces and improved ventilation.
The study concludes that the Research Center for Disease Control and Prevention can provide a productive environment that encourages healthy interaction, cross-department collaboration, and productivity among its users while maintaining safety standards through the recommendations applied. By integrating rhizomatic spatial planning designs and complying with DOH’s Health Systems Research Management program requirements, this research center can strengthen research capacity and contribute to the Philippines’ preparedness to deal with viral outbreaks.

The form draw inspiration from the basic unit of life—the biological cell. The concept involves using cellular structures, patterns, or principles as a design approach to create architectural forms and spatial configurations. Integrating it with rhizome theory, it follows the principle of non-heirarchical networked structure, connectivity, multiplicity, and adaptability to foster a sense of connectivity and engagement.
The overall architectural form of the research center can take inspiration from the structure of a cell. The building’s exterior could feature a curvilinear or organic shape, reminiscent of a cell’s membrane. This form creates a visually striking and distinctive design while symbolically representing the essence of life and growth.

TAYOG ECUMENICAL CHAPEL
Tayog, as a term, extends beyond the physical attributes of the chapel; it reverberates with the resilience of our faith, standing tall against the winds of doubt and the tremors of uncertainty. The chapel becomes a metaphorical mountain, an unyielding peak where our beliefs are anchored, and our spirits find refuge. Its walls, reaching towards the heavens, mirror the unwavering nature of our convictions, standing strong against the storms of life.

BANEW - A REIMAGINED PUBLIC RESTROOM
BANEW transcends the conventional notion of public restrooms, propelling the Filipino identity towards prioritizing these structures as integral components of our urban communities. Drawing inspiration from the undulating curves of giant clams, BANEW represents a paradigm shift in restroom design. It challenges the prevailing apathy towards these spaces, often resulting in dull, uninspired, and substandard frameworks that disregard our societal needs and well-being.

MODERN FILIPINO
Creating a modern Filipino interior involves blending contemporary design with traditional Filipino elements, such as intricate weaving patterns, solihiya accents, and eco-friendly banana fiber wallpapers. Highlighting furniture pieces from renowned designers like Kenneth Cobonpue and Vito Selma adds sophistication and celebrates local craftsmanship. Incorporating these elements with a neutral color palette and vibrant accents, along with accessories like capiz shell lighting and hand-carved sculptures, results in a stylish, culturally rich space that honors Filipino heritage.
WABI SABI
In my design, I embrace the principles of Wabi-sabi, focusing on the beauty of imperfection, simplicity, and natural materials. I create a serene, harmonious space using a neutral color palette and organic textures. Aged wood, stone, and linen bring warmth and authenticity to the interior, while minimalist furniture and uncluttered spaces evoke a sense of tranquility. I highlight the charm of impermanence and the passage of time through imperfect ceramics, weathered finishes, and asymmetrical arrangements. This approach creates a peaceful, lived-in atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of the imperfect and transient.
NEO BRUTALISM
In my Neo-Brutalism interior design, I emphasize raw, unfinished materials like concrete, steel, creating a bold, industrial aesthetic. To add vibrancy, I incorporate pops of color through furniture, art pieces, and textiles, creating a striking contrast against the stark backdrop. Lush plants bring in a touch of nature, softening the rigid lines and adding life to the space. This combination of rugged materials, bright accents, and greenery results in a dynamic and visually engaging environment that balances strength with lively, organic elements.
