 The First Ten Years of
HISTORY
UP Mindanao’s
BS Architecture
Program
A t first, there were only two univer-
sities offering BS Architecture in
Davao City, however, due to the
growing demand of students wanting to
take up Architecture and the need to cre-
ate quality education, the University of
the Philippines Mindanao as the Southern
Mindanao’s premiere University opted to
put up the Bachelor of Science in Archi-
tecture Program. In 1996, U.P. College of
Architecture (UPCA), under the Dean-
ship of Prof. Honrado Fernandez initiated
the institution of the B.S. Architecture
program. Thus, in the year 1999, U.P.
Mindanao was able to implement its own
B. S. Architecture program, which was the
same as that of the UPCA in Diliman.
In June 1999, the BS Architecture Pro-
gram had its pioneering batch consisting
of only twelve students. The program ini-
tially had only one faculty during the first
semester in the person of Arch. Rowena
Santos, followed by Arch. Francis Gerard
Hidalgo during the second semester. The
first classrooms of the program were tem-
porarily housed at the Philippine Coco-
nut Authority Administration Building,
where the Boy’s Dormitory was also locat-
ed. Back then, the College of Science and
Mathematics was the only building in the

thesis panel during the preliminary deliberations.

University, which served as classrooms for
all the other courses offered by the univer-
sity. The Administration building was still
being constructed that time.
In the traditional commemoration of the
Freshmen Night in the University of the
Philippines, Oliver Abatol and Antonietta
Abrea were the first BS Architecture Isko
and Iska representatives for the Freshmen
Night ’99 held at Elias B. Lopes Hall Girls’
Dormitory. In December of the same year,
the University celebrated another event,
the Parolan ‘99, which showcases the dif-
ferent Lantern Designs of each program
and admin offices. During this event the
BS Architecture won the Best Presentation
of Parol, held at UP Mindanao Ladislawa
Campus. Presently, the Parolan is known
as Kasadya.
The toughest challenge of the program
was during the administration of then UP
President Dr. Francisco Nemenzo and UP
Mindanao Chancellor Dr. Ricardo de Un-
gria. The BS Architecture program was
proposed to be abolished,together with
the BS Economics. The main reason were

versities in Southern Mindanao. But the
faculty members, together with College
of Humanities and Social Sciences Dean
Teresita Guillen, were successful in prov-
ing its worth and won the fight. Thus, the
program was retained. In 2000, Arch. Eric-
son Europa, Arch. Eden Sorupia and Arch.
Jose Joaquin Mendoza joined the roster of
the faculty members of the program. They
were among the pioneer teachers to handle
the second batch of BS Architecture stu-
dents.
In 2001, Arch. Jerry Ang joined in the pro-
gram and handled the rendering courses.
In the same year Arch. Santos-Delgado
conducted a research on the architectural
landmarks of Davao City, which was pre-
sented at SM Entertainment Plaza. Arch.
Isidoro R. Malaque III, during this same
year also became a valuable addition in the
roster of faculty. The program has con-
tinually grown which also took in Arch.
Ligaya Rose R. Namocatcat.
In the academic year of 2003, the first the-
sis batch was handled by Prof. Isidoro R.
Malaque. In the same year Arch. Jean Ma-
rie V. Juanga and Arch. Elaine delos Santos
became part of the roster of faculty and
also became member of the thesis panel.
Later this year Engr Melchor Sirilan was
hired by the program to handle courses
on structural design. By the end of the
Academic Year 2003-2004, the program
produced its first two graduates, Jee Rose
Calderon and Marnielle Nacorda.
In December 2004, the 1st ARQuiz orga-
nized by the UAP Davao Chapter was held
at the NCCC Mall. There were three Uni-
versities vying for the first place namely,
University of Mindanao, Ateneo de Davao
University and UP Mindanao. In the final
rounds ADDU and UP Mindanao had a
close fight until finallyUP Mindanao Ar-
chitecture students won the 1st place re-
resented by Mary Grace Sy, Jose Antonio
Emmanuel Santos, Ronald John Dizon
and Gian Derek Flores. In April 2005,
seven students marched down the aisle to
claim their well-deserved diplomas. They
were the second batch of graduates from
the program.
The seventh batch, comprising 23 students,
won the first prize on the Building Deco-
ration Contest during their freshmen year.
They were assigned to decorate the CHSS
wing of the Administration Building with
Christmas decorations for Kasadya 2005.
During that academic year also, BS Archi-
tecture won the second place in the 2nd
ARQuiz held at SM City Entertainment
Plaza. The third batch of graduates was also
produced at the end of AY 2005-2006.
The College of Science and Mathematics
Building served as the house for the draft-
ing rooms of the BS Architecture Program
during those years. Two rooms were pro-
vided for the basic drafting subjects of the
program. But in 2006, the drafting rooms
were relocated in the newly constructed
CHSS wing. And the first to use the facili-
ties was the batch 2006-2007 which was
the eighth batch of students of the pro-
gram. The program reclaimed its place as
the champion during the 3rd ARQuiz held
at University of Mindanao Gymnasium.
In 2006, Arch. Tricia Leigh Sardinia and
Prof. Jean Marie T. Villamor-Juanga have
joined the roster as full-time faculty mem-
bers. In late 2007 Arch. Sardinia opted to
leave the University for greener pastures
and was later replaced by Arch. Jewelyn
Dureza who stayed in the program for one
semester. On the other hand in the later
part of the year, Prof. Juanga remained and
became the Program Coordinator in lieu
of Arch. Ligaya Rose Namocatcat.
And in July 2007, UP Mindanao received
a 100% passing rate in the Architecture
Licensure Board Examination at first
strike. The program produced its first four
architects namely Oliver O. Abatol, Ryan
C. Songcayauon, Lea Angela B. Lee and
Mary Grace T. Sy. Later within the year
Arch. Ryan C. Songcayauon, became a fac-
ulty of the program.
In November 2007, BS Architecture to-

FIRST SET OF PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTS

A ll four examinees from the second
batch of BS Architecture graduates
of the University of the Philippines
in Mindanao passed the Licensure Exami-
nation held last month.
Oliver O. Abatol, Lea Angela B. Lee, Ryan
C. Songcayauon, and Mary Grace T. Sy
are four of the 467 passers out of 1,141 ex-
aminees who took the exam given by the
Board of Architecture in Manila.
The announcement of the successful exam-
inees and the top performing schools was
released by the Professional Regulation
Commission on July 20.
All four were part of the second batch of
Architecture graduates who finished in
April 2005.
The fours were the only UP Mindanao
graduates who took last month’s exam, giv-
ing the young Universtiy a 100% passing
rate. They were all first-time examinees.
Aside from PRC registration, the new ar-
chitects will also need to register for mem-
bership with the United Architects of the
Philippines (UAP).
The oath-taking ceremony of the success-
ful examinees is set on August 18 at the
Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel at the CCP
Complex in Pasay City.

CLEAN-UP DRIVE
Done twice a year, activity has been a tradition of the former
JPIA organization. The ASC decided to continue the said activ-
ity. Through the semester, it is inevitable, much to the cha-
grin of the teachers and some students, the drafting tables
become “draft sheets”. Therefore to promote proper care
and the much needed appreciation for these facilities, the
ASC lets the students clean the drafting boards themselves.
You can never imagine the happy faces you get after the once

March 2008, the BS Architecture
and students decided to cre-
a course-based organization that
will empower the students to develop
their talents and skills to their fullest
potential and in line with their inter-
ests. Besides the empowerment of the
students the organization also aims to
help in the needs of the BS Architec-
ture Program.
The pioneering members of the coun-
cil had its election in June 2008. The
pioneer officers were as follows: Presi-
dent Desiree Cabiles, Vice President
Richelle Saturinas, Secretary Katrina
Quiblat. Treasurer Caryn Ressurrec-
cion, Auditor Mykel Edrian Barcena
and PIO Jessamine Kuh Fortuna. The
board members were Antoneth Aya-

T. Villamor-Juanga became its first ad-
viser and Arch. Ligaya Rose Namocat-
cat as its co-adviser.
ASC Officers busy finalizing the judge’s decision in the
recently concluded TABANOG 2009.
Following its objectives the organi-
zation launched its very first major
project, the TINUKIB Scale Model
Design Workshop and Competition,
which aimed to teach high school stu-
dents in designing and constructing
scale models, under the mentorship
of senior and fifth year Architecture
students. The workshop have both
promoted the program and at the same
time develop the confidence of the stu-
dent mentors.
In the aim of developing the creativ-
ity of the students the UP Min ASC
initiated “TABANOG”,the first Kite
Flying and Design Competition in UP
Mindanao. The event was successfully
implemented. Both TINUKIB and
TABANOG were planned to become
a regular activity of the students.

1 Rewrite your notes until such time
you’re rewriting it without looking at
the notes you have previously rewrit-
ten.

plates and models bug you with outmost.
I’m a first year...first impression on the
course? HARD. NEEDS DRAWING
& RENDERING SKILLS/TALENTS.
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. PROFUSE.
After two semesters, what can I say? IT’S
UNEASY. NEEDS PERSEVERANCE
AND PATIENCE. About the rendering

But, on the other side of the coin, the course
is fun. The friendship you get is worth a trea-
sure most especially in times of difficulties.
Classes are boring but lessons are interesting.
Teachers could get demanding and inspiring.
I think much has been said.

any other Codes into drawings. We
love to look at drawings compared to
words! Right?
3 You can write important notes for
you to memorize/familiarize on in-
dex cards where it is handy or even
on Manila papers where you can read
them in any place of your room.
4 Do not study the whole day or the
whole week straight! It’s a suicide!
Have time to visit the malls, parks or
just hang out with your friends. Your
goal is to pass the board, not to enter
a mental facility after.
5 If you’re in the mall or at park walk-
ing, think of the things you have pre-
viously studied like the famous ar-
chitects and the buildings they have
designed, or the colors of different
pipes and their uses or the different
electrical wires. (Tip no. 5 cancels tip
no. 4 haha)
6 Take Vitamins. You don’t want to be
sick during the exam.
7 Tell your family, your friends or of-
ficemate never to call or text you dur-
ing the review. They are obstructions!
Tell them that you will call or text
them first or tell them to do so after
the exam.
8 Pray if you believe in God. If you
don’t, then call on all the names of
the famous architects. At least you’re
still studying!
9 Think positive! Don’t aim just to
pass the exam. Your goal is top it! ha-
haha…
10 During the drafting exam day,
go to the toilet. And as you go back
to the room, look at the drawings of
the other examiners. Sit back and tell
yourself: “My drafting is better than
her.” or “My perspective is bigger and
better than him.” Haha!

TITLE :
Contextualizing Mindanao Indigenous Dance and Rituals in a
Mindanao Performing Arts Complex
THESIS ADVISER:
Prof. Jean Marie T. Villamor-Juanga
ABSTRACT
Imagine Mindanao Indigenous dance and rituals in a
structure; imagine Mindanao indigenous dance and
rituals as a structure. This is the story that this the-
sis entitled, “Contextualizing Indigenous Dance and
Rituals in a Mindanao Performing Arts Complex”
seeks to tell by recognizing Mindanao Indigenous
dance choreography.
As Agnes Locsin, a famous choreographer who
coined the term Neo-ethnic said, “a unique style
of Mindanao Indigenous dance choreography only
found in Mindanao has yet to be recognized. But
this unique character has not been recognized yet
because little research has been made in the realm
on how they are performed. In fact, they are even
misuse by many choreographers locally leading to
the problem of this research that there is a need
for an accurate definition of Mindanao Indigenous
Dance and rituals and a need for an iconic archetype
as an area for documentation and representation.
These problems framed the objectives of this thesis,
which are to accurately and correctly contextualize
Mindanao Indigenous Dance and Rituals through a
scientific method using Labanotations, a mathemat-
ical system of analyzing movements and to integrate
the scientific contextualization in a Mindanao Per-
forming Arts complex.
This thesis wrapped around three major theories
which are Dance as a language, notations of the lan-
guage of dance and notation in relation to architec-
tural elements of a performing arts complex. These
theories support the concept, which is “Architecture
conceived from dance movements” which was
ABSTRACT
In creating low impact development, it is always
important to consider sensitivity to the site. It is
also rare that these developments are able to in-
form the user of the environment’s importance.
The book discusses how archtiecture can be used
to promote the understanding of the environ-
ment.
The problem on the current path of development
is the anthropocentric view in creatin space, it is
therefore appropriate to use nature as the basis
to create space within its surroundings. This was
done by assigning the components of sustainable

achieved through a framework of concept starting
from the core concept, which is the Mindanao in-
digenous dance and rituals. Then to the indigenous
dance movement analysis using Labanotation.
The movement analysis is categorized into three, the
verbs, nouns and adverbs. The movement analysis
jumpstarted the methodology in which five major
Mindanao Indigenous Dances catregorized accord-
ing to Pangalay (Sulu), a wedding Dance , Lunsay, a
Game Dances , Bagobo, a Courtship Dance , Dugso
Talaandig Tribe (Bukidnon), a Ritual Dance, B’lit Bi-
laan, a Mimetic Dance, and Yakan, an Occupational
Dance. These five dances where notated by looking
first hand at Indigenous performers and also their
video archives. The video was then segmented
into three corresponding to the three categories of
movement; verb which means movement from one
place to another giving the Plan of the dances, nouns
which means movement done in place giving eleva-
tion and the adverb which means movement done
away from the ground or aerial movements creating
the volume of the dance. Categories of movement
analysis are called kinesthetic spaces and they can
be combined into a space, which corresponds to a
perspective.
The kinesthetic spaces are architectural elements
formed in the context of dance movements. In order
to translate them into the architectural elements
of a performing arts complex, integration with ar-
chitectural standard, which was achieved using the
space analysis, lighting design considerations and
acoustical design considerations was made.
After all important factors where considered, the
study showed that in terms of steps, the dances
predominantly have small lengths of step ranging

development to the needed architectural experi-
ence in order to achieve an understanding of the
environment which would promote biodiversity
conservation.
Bats are one of the least favored in the recovery
of endangered species- their habitat becoming
an easy target of locals for food. With the lack of
public awareness, there would only be continu-
ous destruction cause on these bats. Therefore,
it is important for the locals to undestand and ap-
preciate them in order to live harmoniously and
attain sustainability between both parties.
The development of the site surrounding the

from 1.6 ft to 1.5 ft and are predominantly done
through mincing. Similarly, in terms of leg and arm
gestures degree of flexion, the dances have fewer
extensions and are more on flexes even in the hand
gestures. In addition, the change in vertical move-
ment patterns is dominant in the dances and there
degrees of flexion range from 1 degree to 5 degrees
indicating more obviously that dances are indeed
very detailed in terms of the movements. In terms
of recommendation for design, the performance ar-
eas for the dances should be intimate ranging from
139.8 sq.m to 621 sq.m and areas ranging from 15
sq.m to 37 sq.m.
In terms of acoustical consideration, the instru-
ments and the type of accompaniments of the danc-
es ranged from 90 -120 and 70-90 decibels because
of the areas with which they were performed and
their specific Reverberation Time are classified into
two ranging from Rt are 0.6 - 0.8 and 0.4 – 0.6 re-
spectively requiring optimum listening capacity for
the dances.
In addition, the lighting requirements of the dances
ranged from 2500 to 3000 Color Temperature. In
terms of system of references of the dances, they
differ in most cases but are dependent to the loca-
tion of the instruments.
In creating Mindanao Indigenous dance and rituals
in and as a structure, all of the data collected, which
has contextualized the dances, should be taken into
consideration. This way, the so-called Mindanao at-
mosphere can be truly attained in theater making
the unique character of the gongs and kulintang in
Mindanao truly preserved even in a thousand life-
times.
bats’ habitat as a Conservation Park invites the
oppurtunity for an architectural space to become
more responsive. By means of biodiversity con-
servation as the aim and architectural experience
addressing sustainable development as the tool
to attain the said aim, then the process is being
fulfilled.
The archtiectural experience was defined by as-
sessing the public’s perception and preference,
as the needed market (Economic) and informa-
tion (Social) in sustainable development. This
experience is then supplemented by consdiere-
ing the environment, thus attending ti the three
components of sustainable development.

Anthropometric Proportions of Pregnant Women:
Establishing Safe & Ergonomic Dimensions Based on
Comfort-Requirements
THESIS ADVISER:
Prof. Jean Marie T. Villamor-Juanga

ABSTRACT
There are approximately 1,000,000 women
pregnant at one time. In Davao City alone,
there are approximately 33,000 pregnant
women from January to December 2005.
The magnitude of the population is a crucial
concern in the provision for health, safety,
sanitation, and hygiene.
Pregnancy is a state of becoming- an unborn
baby is becoming a person capable of life
outside the safe, protecitve and totally suf-
ficient nevironment of the mother’s womb,
and a man and woman becoming parent.
Pregnanyc is a positive growth experience
for most expectant parents. It is time to draw
on or develop a support system, to assess
one’s lifestyle and make changes if necessary
to ensure optimal health.
This study aims to uplift and assist in the pro-
vision of good health through specifying and
knowing measures of comfort, safety and
convenience for the pregnant mother. these
measures include material comfort, physio-
logical comfort, bio-mechanical comfort and
technological comfort but as an emphasis,
the study focused on structural antrhopo-
metrics of pregnant women.
A total of thirty-three (33) body measure-
ments are obtained from 120 pregnant wom-
en, 40 in each trimester. Also, to distinguish
user responses to the external environe-
ment, motion study, study of reach, activity
analysis and present condition assessment
were performed.
Considerable difference in measurements
signified the apparent changes in the body
of the pregnant woman. Measurements,
such as weight anfd width of abdomen show
the most effect of the pregnancy condition.
The different user needs, preferences and
perceptions on their environment were re-
flected in the recommendations for spatial
provision, furniture design, equipment pro-
vision, activity management and material
specification.
The pregnancy experience is defined by re-
lationships, finances, physique, emotionm
responsibilty,time and environment. Howev-
er, there is now universal agreement among
medical professionals or the geenral public
on the single best, safest, and most comfort-
able way to experience preganancy. But to a
great extent, the kind of pregnancy experi-
ence a woman could have will largely depend
on the care and provisions available.
The results were used to formulate guide-
lines for the design of a maternity hospital.
This facility was aimed at providing comfort
through the application of three (3) interven-
tions namely; education, physical and medi-
cal interventions. This integrative approach
aim at holistically at holistically, address the
needs of pregnant women for comfort. The
project located along J.P Cabaguio Avenue,
fronting the Davao Medical Center.

ABSTRACT

Human beings are teritorial in nature. There is always a cer- ABSTRACT

tain amount of distance that is maintained when dealing
with other people, much like a bubble surrounding each
person. Usually done unconsciously, this personal space
determined how big the “bubble” each person has. Edward
T. Hall formulated categories on these distances.
Several factor such asage, gender, seating arrangementm,
degree of relationship and anthrogpometrics were used in
the study. it was found out that they contribute greatly on
how near or far the interpersonal distance of someonw is.
Determining an elderly interpersonal distance with simple
observation is possible. Observations, informal interviews
and phot documentation were some of the methods ap-
plied to verify factors that affect these distances. After thor-
ough observations and testing of hypothesis, a new range
of interpersonal distances for the elderly is concluded.
Guidelines for non-medical health care facility for the el-
derly are put together. The new interpersonal distance
range is applied on it to help imporve physical comfort and
communication among them.
The aim of the study is to: identify the similarities and the
differnces of the Igorot Architecture in Bukidnon and in the
Mountain Province; determine and analyze the factors in
fluencing the Igorot Architecture in Bukidnon and; to suggst
possible architectural concepts that can be contributed to
the existing Igorot Architecture in Bukidon.
Thirty Igorot respoendent from Bontoc and Kankana-ey
ethno-linguistic groups were interviewed. Snowball sm-
plaing was used in the selectiion of the respondents. teh
questionnaire included items intended to produce data in
identifying the similarities and differenced of the Igorot Ar-
chitecture in Bukidnon and Mountain Province and analyz-
ing the factors that inlfuence the differences of the Igorot
Architecture in Bukidnons from its origin.
Findings of the study showed that the basic features of
Igorot Architecture in Bukidnon and Mountain Province
are manifested in teh sturdiness and massiveness of their
houses. The climate and geodraphical setting, availability
of materials in the locality and cultural factors influence the
architectural character of Igorot houses in Bukidnon.

 I n 1996, U.P. Mindanao was assisted by the U.P. College of Archi-

COURSE CURRICULUM
tecture in Diliman (UPCAD) in initiating a B.S. Architecture
curricular program by allowing the latter’s program to be adopted.
Thus, in June 1999, U.P. Mindanao was able to implement its own B.
S. Architecture program (UPMBSAP) which was the same as that of
the UPCAD.
SUNTARA
VENTERES Three years later, in 2002, UPCAD instituted major revisions in its
program. However, the UPMBSAP underwent only minor revisions
in 2002 and 2003, basically due to the institution of RGEP courses.
No longer at par with each other, major revisions are now proposed
for the UPMBSAP.
The faculty of the UPMBSAP began its comprehensive review of the
program in 2006. This review included consultations and interviews
with practitioners and graduates of the program to identify and affirm
the changing industry needs and developments in order for the UP-
MBSAP to transform traditional competency standards into excellent
EVAN GLEECE architecture education.
CASAS
More vital however was the participation of the faculty of the UP-
MBSAP in a three-day workshop conducted by the UPCAD Center
of Excellence for Architecture. The workshop was aimed at assisting
UPMBSAP in developing its current curriculum, syllabi and teaching
methods.
Thus, the results of the comprehensive review of the UPMBSAP are
the following proposed curricular revisions. In sum, these proposed
revisions are rooted in two major bases: (1) the clustering of Archi-
tecture courses within a framework used in the profession’s licensure
board examinations and (2) Architecture’s response to specific Mind-
GLORY ROSE anao needs.
DY
These proposed revisions will undoubtedly position the UPMBSAP
in the forefront of architectural development in Mindanao as its
invaluable contribution to nation building.
