Aida-Cruz Del Rosario
Aida-Cruz Del Rosario (born 1922) was the first female graduate of the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture and the first female architect in the Philippines.[1][2] She originally wanted to be a dentist but her father convinced her to do architecure.[2] Her husband Jose del Rosario was an engineer, and together they constructed and designed over 120 edifices, hospitals, and houses from Luzon to Mindanao.[2]
While some sources credit Eulie Chowdhury as the first woman architect in Asia,[3][4] others including Aida-Cruz Del Rosario were working at similar dates.[2]
