Maria, Edd Fuentes, Romeo Bauzon, and Osmundo Esguerra amongst others established the Antique Dealers Association of the Philippines (ADAP) and served as its founding president, and subsequently served as its chairman. Through their efforts, the ADAP organized the Manila Arts & Antiques Exhibition, one of the first Philippine antiquities fairs in 1982, and published its own exhibition catalog, with Villegas as its main editor. Death Villegas died on 6 August 2017 in Makati, the Philippines at the age of 63.
