From a bio on Pablo Antonio:

“Antonio went to the University of London where he finished a five-year course in architecture in three years. He triumphantly returned to Manila and successfully passed the licensure examination in 1932.

1933 saw Antonio’s first major work, the construction of the Ideal Theatre on Avenida Rizal, then one of Manila’s popular thoroughfares. His triumph subsequently led to other commissions notably, the Far Eastern University Buildings, the Boulevard-Alhambra Apartments (re-named Bel-Air Apartments), Capitan Luis Gonzaga Building, Manila Polo Club and others".
