This year, specifically in December, we have decided to come back despite the uncertainties. As the editor, I realize that people need to hear positive and inspiring stories of the Philippines, especially regarding the built environment. 

In 2023, you will read more about Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao Architecture heritage from different eras. We will also share more about impact stories from Filipina architects in the regions who have worked so hard. Of course, the material review and comparison will still engage your curiosity. 

We shall also continue to feature interviews with more local personalities, such as architects, engineers, and other professionals from the built environment. In addition, we will bring exclusive stories from experts on architecture, design, urban planning, and much more. We are also planning special projects to celebrate the anniversaries of iconic structures!

Finally, in the near future, we will strive to bring you more interactive content, such as quizzes, polls, surveys, and call-outs. This year has been challenging, but we are determined to make it. We want to continue our mission of connecting Filipinos with the many stories of our culture and heritage we want them to explore and learn from.

Thank you for your support and trust. We look forward to bringing you more stories in the coming year!

Happy holidays to all!

Best,

Ar. Gloryrose Dy Metilla, UAP, MUCH
