Meet Architect Abadia, the Woman of Style and Creativity
As we hear the word “architecture”, names of the male architects who have been undoubtedly successful in constructing different projects would usually echo in our ears. However, a lot of women who are venturing in this field are becoming as successful as those men who are into this profession. Among the women architects who have valiantly shown that men and women have equal talents and skillfulness in this area is Architect Maria Sarah Abadia.Architect Abadia was born in Silay, Negros Occidental where she finished her primary and secondary education. She decided to enroll at the University of San Carlos when she graduated from high school. According to her, attaining her degree in architecture was an accident. Instead of taking up Civil Engineering in the said university (which was her first choice), she enrolled in architecture as suggested by the university registrar.

She was chosen as the President of United Architects of the Philippines-Cebu Chapter in 2005-2007 because of her excellent achievements.

In her almost seven years of stay with Bigfoot, she was able to design 10 infrastructures; six of these projects were fully built. These six structures were six sound stages, a 200-room hotel, a 68-room dormitory, a 12-storey condominium, corporate office tower, and the post production facility housing.

Like Architect Partosa and Architect Anino, Architect Maria Sarah Abadia is also an advocate of “green architecture”. In fact, she described herself as a nature lover who would appreciate the view in the mountainside and would love to watch the waves and to feel the breeze.
For her, taking up Landscape Architecture would surely improve her knowledge in maximizing nature’s gift to people.
