A humble start

“WHEN I was 26 and starting out as an architect, I never imagined I’d be handling a project such as this!” Teo A. Khing reminisces.

Teo was the youngest of 10 children in a household headed by his fisherman father and grandfather. The post-Japanese Occupation years were tough and his father decided to stop fishing when Teo was 10, and opened a small grocery that was later converted into a spare parts store.
