Women have room for empowerment in hypermasculine spaces that heavily contribute to gender inequality. As time passed, addressing women's empowerment shifted towards empowering femininity present across all genders. Translated into our urban spaces, the New Bilibid Prison Reservation (NBPR) in Muntinlupa City suppresses femininity because of its prison function. As the prison facilities together with the inmates are envisioned to be relocated away from NBPR, the land is subject to redevelopment. Hence, this study was conducted to reimagine the landscape of New Bilibid Prison. The goal of the study is to propose landscape development plans that highlight the feminine culture in direct relation to the current context of the New Bilibid Prison Reservation. Integrating gender and development approaches to landscape planning, qualitative methods of survey, interviews, and future scenario landscape workshops were used to gather women’s narratives, activities, and gender meanings as a way of characterizing their femininity. Key findings include: (1) Care culture is central to women, nurturing relationships progressively, (2) healthcare is highly linked with care culture, and (3) care culture is confined to be private. Three planning schemes were developed based on the data gathered which include tourism, economic, and civic development. The assessment showed that civic development within the site will best include feminine narratives A model site was chosen to illustrate the applications of the principles and planning proposals. By closely examining women’s
femininity, the narrative of the New Bilibid Prison shifted to include care culture.

Housing stress is a major concern for Filipino office workers. The standardized ratio of setting aside '30% of income to rent' cannot be applied to the average Filipino, who can give up at most only 15% of their income to afford other necessities. This limits the housing options of entry-level office workers -- fresh graduates with average salaries who often turn to uncomfortable bed spaces to live closer to work and avoid long commutes. To offset the increasingly unaffordable real estate in Bonifacio Global City, the Philippines' second-largest central business district, co-living apartments have become popular in its vicinity. However, the standard of these co-living spaces is incomparable to that of the global co-living standard, as privacy is the first to be sacrificed in favor of accessibility and attainability. This project aims to bridge the gap between the standard of co-living in the Philippines and that of the global standard by providing better living conditions for tenants through architecture at a portion of the cost via funding from private companies whose workers will benefit from the project. This was achieved through online research on current co-living apartments, as well as interviews of young adults who have lived in Philippines co-living apartments. This project is in Brgy. Pembo, Makati where land is less expensive yet still accessible to Bonifacio Global City via a short commute. Given the size of the lot, the project was expanded vertically to maximize space and differentiate the public and private access areas. The ground floor was dedicated to commercial spaces, the second floor was assigned to the co-living spaces, and the third to seventh floors were reserved for the residents' quarters. The residential floors were divided into quarters to provide sufficient privacy for each tenant without compromising ventilation. To accommodate forty-eight tenants to a floor, rooms were grouped into six to a unit with a communal kitchen, two toilets, and two baths.

This thesis project examines using the Employee is number 1 concept together with sustainable manufacturing in developing a design for a localized factory and research facility for Environmentally Sustainable Transport.
The research starts with the problem of how to provide a better work environment both in physical and mental health for the employees of this facility. This explores the possibility of deconstructing the typical factory setting then adding in various elements to help in achieving physical and mental wellness.
This thesis also looks upon the technical side of manufacturing by creating a new manufacturing facility of E-Jeeps taking into consideration that these are relatively new products so standards for the sizes of the vehicles are flexible.
The thesis then takes out the traditional method of manufacturing vehicles and adds sustainability into the equation.
The design ends having a design that focuses on the employees giving them a different environment compared to traditional factories. The manufacturing method and building is also given makeover to adapt to sustainability.

Sport can do a lot for community. It gives people self-confidence, it provides people with a sense of national pride, it builds camaraderie and it brings families and communities together. The sport that has provided me all the former is the Philippine Ultimate Community. Ultimate in the Philippines started in 2001 with expats teaching Filipinos how to play the sport. Today, close to a hundred teams all over the country play the sport. Another sport that is growing in popularity is Philippine Football. Despite the fact that it has been established since 1907, it was only until the Azkals were established that the sport really took off. Now the Philippines can say it has a semi-professional league in the United Football League (UFL).
With the growing popularity of these two sports, we are now faced with a big problem. Unlike how every barangay has designated space for a basketball court, Ultimate and football players are left constantly competing for limited field space. Athletes are left to play on bad quality field which leads to injuries that hinder progression and development of Philippine athletes. Furthermore, due to limited field space, the sports privilege those that live in private communities because there are not many public fields available.
Therefore, I found it necessary to design the Philippine Ultimate and Football Training Center in order to cater to the needs of these athletes.

This project was thought of with the idea of it as being a “Service-Oriented Architecture”. From the title itself, it is obvious that is under such category. It may not be as deep as other studies but it also addresses one aspect of the most evident problem in the Philippines: POVERTY. Poverty lead to a domino effect of more problems that the country has to face. One is lack of housing and high unemployment rates which pushed children to be on the streets. This project focused on children’s right and privileges being the so-called assets of our society. It emphasized the role of the community in the development of these children to being accepted back into the society. The holistic development of the children was the guiding principle in the project which gave way to the main concept which is INTERCONNECTEDNESS. This concept was embodied in the zoning, provision, and arrangement of the spaces. The outcome of the project is a complex that is geared towards the betterment of the street children. The complex, provided with many facilities and site features, seeks to encourage people to utilize the complex as an avenue for interaction with less fortunate children who wish to be reconnected with the society. This type of facility may be provided by the architects and engineers with the help of NGOs and the government but it is not enough to just provide. It is important to realize that the COMMUNITY has a greater role in helping and reaching out to these children because they are indeed, the assets of the nation.
