John Leur Labrador

Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) • Director for Space Technology Missions and Systems

Over the past decade, I have had the unique privilege of growing alongside the Philippine space sector, serving as an engineer and manager for every Filipino satellite mission to date: Diwata-1, Diwata-2, and MULA.

Having contributed to these missions from the ground up, my work now focuses on bridging local ambition with the global ecosystem. I am dedicated to fostering international cooperation, governing sustainable programs, and cultivating the next generation of Filipino space professionals to ensure a resilient future of our local space industry.
