Born on April 11, 1918 in Manila, Philippines, Antonio S. Dimalanta was both a renowned architect and a WWII veteran who had served with the US Armed Forces and the Armed Force Philippines, both as a commissioned officer.

He began his practice as an architect in Manila where he had worked since 1948. In 1952 he opened his office on Guam. He had worked with Frank D. Perez & Bros., and together they worked on designing the Agana Cathedral Basilica, the development of Perezville in Tamuning, and numerous prominent residencies throughout the island. Antonio was the first president of the Filipino Community of Guam in 1954. In 1955 he began work with Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhal until 1958, where he became involved with the Trans-Asia Engineering Co.
