Cristobal Bienvenido Cortes Espina and Filomena Perez Espina were visionary founders of a legacy that went beyond buildings. Cristobal, an architect, and Filomena, his steadfast partner, combined skill, faith, and discipline to build homes, schools, hospitals, and communities in Cebu. Together, they nurtured a family that inherited not just careers but values—resilience, service, and integrity. Their guidance shaped children and grandchildren into architects, doctors, and leaders, ensuring that the Espina legacy is one of lasting impact on both structures and lives.
