It received the World Intellectual Propert Organization Gold Medal in 1995. Edgardo graduated with his Bachelor of Science in Commerce course at San Beda College. He worked in his own construction equipment store, and there he learned that the building materials were still very expensive. This inspired him to design a house that was about half as cheap as the regular house. His design became known as Vazbuilt . This house can be built in just 14 to 30 days depending on the model. The Vazbuilt is easy to build like a Lego toy. It can also be removed and moved to another location. Moreover, Vazbuilt , according to Edgardo is strong against hail, earthquake, fire, and storm. As a result, Vazbuilt was counted one of the best corporations (Top 1,000) in the Philippines.

He redesigned the surplus jeeps to increase its functionality by extending the body to accommodate at least twice the number of passengers and by putting some railings at the back and top for extra passengers to cling to, and for cargoes.[3] He revolutionized a burgeoning industry and changed the life of generations of Filipinos.[1] Leonardo Sarao was awarded The Outstanding Filipino Award (TOFIL) in 1991 for Entrepreneurship.
