Carlos A. Viola
- Arch. Viola was one of the very first graduates of the College of Architecture of the University of Santo Tomas in 1935.
- The professors then were outstanding architects and engineers like Tomas Arguelles, Tomas Mapua, Juan F. Nakpil, Fernando Ocampo, and Andres Luna de San Pedro (son of Juan Luna)
- He first worked in the office of Juan Nakpil as a draftsman, eventually rising to associate architect from 1946-1950
- His first exposure to the Iglesia Ni Cristo group was executed under Nakpil's company through the Bishop's Palace in San Juan, Manila
- Brother Erano G. Manalo gave the subsequent project directly to Santos-Viola and the rest is history
