Mater Salutis College Seminary


After passing the Philippine licensure exam for civil engineers I entered the seminary. I studied here for about 3 years and then I moved to LST to study MA Theology.

City and Guilds




The above is my grade in Structural Design in City and Guilds.

When I had my qualification assessed by IStructE, they advised me to take 4 modules from City and Guilds. In addition to that I have to finish an MSc in Civil Engineering.

I only took one module and then I applied in Brighton University for my MSc. Luckily they accepted even though I did not complete the other three modules required by IStructE.

60 Gordon Road






A typical end of terrace house with duo-pitch sloping roof. It has 3 bedrooms plus room in a roof.

It belongs to a friend of mine, Alex Alfonso. I am not allowed to do private practice but I am only giving my friend a favor.


Target start of construction is April this year.

Loyola School of Theology


I studied at LST while I was working at MIESCOR. I completed about 45 units in MA Theology.
I was thinking then of becoming a priest but God had a different plan for me.
To complete my degree I must take a comprehensive examination yet.

Why Malilipot Builders?

Why Malilipot?

Once in Manila I was riding on a bus when I happened to see a taxi bearing the name, Malilipot Taxi. As a Malilipotenyo, seing that taxi gave me a sense of pride.

When we found ourselves outside our home town, it wouold be nice if someone asks you, Taga sain ka? and you answered, Malilipot and then he or she could easily locate where Malilipot is.




Why Builders?

Apart from being the nature of the our business, Builders will re-live an organization founded by Arch Jesus Binaday called The Builders. If you are old as I am maybe you would still remember seeing sign posts (concrete three-sided post) bearing the name of the streets. It's their project as far as I remember.

In a sense it's my way of paying tribute to a dear mentor who gave me the chance to practice my engineering skill by letting me design the structure of the cantilever choir loft of our church.
