To minimize the devastating consequences of natural disasters that frequently plague the Philippines, disaster-resistant structural insulated panels were invented, said Paul Staples, a BYU–Hawaii alumnus and the chief marketing officer of Archipelago 7000.

Archipelago 7000 is a Philippine-based company that manufactures magnesium oxide insulated structural panels to be used for natural disaster-resistant housing structures.
