Philippines. This is seen in founded provincial capitols like Iloilo, Laguna, and Pampanga, as well as tall

this here under the mimicry of the design of the buildings in the US itself based on the guidelines and
influence of William Parsons.

washing, and drinking. In hospital settings, they incorporated areas to properly dispose of cadavers
through chemical processing or embalming. As well as water processing to ensure the continuous living
of people through proper access to safe water. It is also notable that the effects of it helped us lessen
