Palafox turns silver

It was a night of looking back at the foundations of the past and the exciting possibilities of the future as notable personalities from the government, business, real estate and construction industries, media, academia, religious groups, and guests from 40 countries gathered at the Dusit Thani grand ballroom in Makati to congratulate Palafox Associates for 25 wonderful years of benchmark projects in the architecture, planning, and design industries. Founded in 1989 by principal architect Felino “Jun” Palafox Jr., the firm started with just a staff of three and offered only three services: Architecture, Planning, and Consultancy. Twenty-five years later, the firm has had more than 800 employees. It diversified and included interior design, business development planning, and even graphic design, further branching out to include town planning, site planning, engineering, project development studies, environmental design, and tourism planning. Some of the firm’s more than 1,000 projects in 38 countries and important milestones were put on display at the event. Jun also formally introduced the firm’s key employees that are helping shape the future of Palafox Associates, and the firm’s new company, the Palafox Architecture Group. Congratulations, Jun, and more power!
