Why Philippine Hotels Need Better Airports | Philippines Airports | HPC 2026 | David D. Cabigao
Exclusive interview with David D. Cabigao, CEO & Principal Architect of KDAS Group. Key Highlights: 1. David D. Cabigao, CEO and Principal Architect of KDAS Group, shares his views at the Hospitality Philippines Conference. 2. He says he feels very excited about most of the topics at the event. 3. He finds them more in-depth and more controlled on how people understand the hospitality business. 4. He says this helps designers communicate better and defend the value of their work. 5. On building information modeling (BIM), he says developers benefit most in the pre-construction stage. 6. He explains that architecture and interior design are integrated first, before engineering. If this is not done, clashes are missed and mistakes can blow up construction costs. 7. He says BIM also makes master planning easier, especially for challenging sites where the terrain is not helpful. 8. He says BIM helps them explain costs to the client and the value of pre-planning the project, so he calls it a crucial part of the process. 9. Looking ahead to 2027, he does not expect a huge innovation. He expects infrastructure to do more for the hotel industry. 10. For the Philippines, he wants to see airports become more advanced and more economical for travel between points, so that hospitality does not have to struggle as much.
