With a career spanning 13 years in the Architectural Glass industry, 10 of which were spent in the dynamic landscape of Metro Manila, Phillip's path has been shaped by unwavering dedication and modest achievements. Beginning his maiden voyage in glass back in 2010 in Bacolod City, he successfully executed 18 residential projects over a span of 2 years, laying a solid foundation for his subsequent endeavors.

In 2013, Phillip's family made a thoughtful decision to relocate to Metro Manila, driven by the aspiration to provide their daughters with a quality college education. The bustling city proved to be fertile ground for personal and professional growth, enriching Phillip's expertise in various aspects of Architectural Glass. From local sourcing and the retail availability of profiles and glass fittings to fostering valuable relationships with key industry players, including supply industry leaders, glass processors, aluminum profile importers, powder coaters, and both local and global aluminum extruders, his journey unfolded in a prudent yet impactful manner.

During his tenure in Metro Manila, Phillip had the privilege of collaborating with prominent developers in the region and working alongside top architectural firms, general contractors, developers, and esteemed glass engineering agencies. These experiences steadily contributed to his career growth and cultivated a deeper understanding of the industry's nuances.

The recent global pandemic brought about a shift in perspectives as society adapted to the "new normal." Fresh from the challenges of lockdowns, Phillip observed a change in people's outlook towards modern living and investment choices. The economic landscape pointed towards an encouraging trend of increased investments and overall positive developments in the countryside. Recognizing the potential within this evolving landscape, Phillip saw an opportunity to establish a new venture, actually a re-adventure, in his own hometown.

In 2023, Phillip took a modest yet resolute step to establish "Marapara Construction and Building Products Corp." in Bacolod City. Serving as the designated Philippine distributor for the esteemed "VERSAL Aluminum Windows & Doors" brand, Marapara Glass, as it is coined, aims to bring high-quality products, once only available in Metro Manila, to the city. Phillip's belief in the right timing for such an endeavor reflects his commitment to providing the community with superior products.

Thrilled and content to return to his hometown, Phillip eagerly anticipates serving the project requirements of the community through Marapara's establishment of a complete showcase of its products in the new 5-Storey building of ICON PAINTS & HOME FINISHES along Hernaez St. in Bacolod. His modest ambition is to contribute to the development of Bacolod's architectural landscape with professionalism and a sincere desire to fulfill project aspirations.

In conclusion, Phillip's story is one of steadfast dedication and a willingness to adapt to changing times. While recognizing the collective achievements in his journey, he aspires to contribute to the city's progress through Marapara Construction and Building Products Corp. With a heart filled with gratitude, Phillip embraces the opportunity to serve the community and contribute to the construction industry in a personalized and meaningful manner.
