Students from the Architecture program of Saint Louis University (SLU) showcased creativity and innovation after emerging as top winners in the 𝟱𝗚 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁: 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 competition organized by Globe Telecom as part of the 2026 Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City.

According to the official invitation from Globe Telecom, the competition challenged college students to envision the future of their cities through 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 that illustrate how 𝟱𝗚 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. Participants were also encouraged to use Google Gemini AI as a creative assistant to refine their concepts and translate ideas into compelling visual narratives. The event for Baguio participants was held on 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗮𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗼, 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝟯𝟬, 𝗖𝗠 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼, 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭𝟭:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠 𝘁𝗼 𝟱:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠.

Competing against fellow student creatives, three teams from SLU’s Architecture program secured the top three places, highlighting the university’s strong presence in design innovation and digital creativity.

Taking 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 was the team “𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝘀”, composed of BS Architecture 2 students Nicolle P. Antonio, Pauline Kate S. Buendia, Kate Gabrielle S. Mina, and Mayceline D. Pespes. Their winning concept impressed judges with its imaginative interpretation of technology and community, presenting a vibrant vision of a future city empowered by connectivity.

The 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 award went to “𝗣𝗧𝗥𝗖𝗞 𝗔𝗧𝗕𝗣.”, represented by BS Architecture 3 students Philip V. Cacal, Christel Jane D. Ilao, and John Patrick M. Leandado. Their design highlighted how digital infrastructure and artistic storytelling can shape urban experiences and strengthen community identity.

Meanwhile, 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 was secured by “𝗚𝗢𝗠𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛,” another team of BS Architecture 3 students composed of Felicity Anne Agasa, Jessa Maningding, Ijie Babe Munar, John Denver Saguid, and Elijah Rae Sundiam. Their entry emphasized sustainability and the relationship between technology, the environment, and future urban living.

Beyond recognition, the competition offers a meaningful opportunity for young designers. Globe announced that the winning design may be transformed into a physical mural, potentially becoming a permanent landmark in Baguio City or within participating schools. Winners will also be featured across Globe’s official social media platforms, giving student artists exposure to a wider audience during one of the country’s most celebrated cultural festivals.

The success of the SLU Architecture teams demonstrates the creativity and forward-thinking mindset of emerging architects. By merging art, technology, and urban imagination, these students have not only represented their university with pride but have also contributed inspiring visions of how connectivity can shape the cities of tomorrow.
