Francisco T. Mañosa
February 12, 1931 (87 years old)

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

Bachelor of Science in Architecture (1953) at the University of

Santo Tomas

WORKS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

 Mañosa developed a modern architectural style whose touchstone was the traditional Filipino
square house, the "bahay kubo". He used indigenous materials and experimented with new
technologies so that they would be usable in a modern context.
 Known for his advocacy of promoting and upholding the Filipino architecture for his whole 40
years of practice.

Coconut Palace, Manila (1978)

It has come to be recognized as one of the most prominent examples of Philippine neovernacular
architecture, and made Mañosa a highly-sought-after artist. The palace was commissioned by Imelda
Marcos, which later on had a controversy because the design was paid for using government funds and
eventually became a guesthouse for the Marcoses’ guests until they were exiled.
 St. Joseph Church, Las Piñas Aquino Center, Tarlac

Shine of Mary, Queen of Peace, EDSA

Mañosa was approached by the cardinal to design
the church to commemorate the People Power
Revolution. He initially had a different design; above
gorund and based on the bahay kubo, but it was
rejected by a member of a committee who wanted a
more Spanish design.

San Miguel Building, Pasig

Francisco T. Mañosa received the title of National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture in 2018.
