00:08 Hi, I'm Susan Enriquez.
00:11 Of course, you know that with all the work we do everyday,
00:16 we deserve to travel and relax.
00:19 So, here I am. Travel time.
00:22 [music]
00:27 Would you like to travel all around the world in a day like a celebrity?
00:32 For real? Is that possible?
00:35 No mixed feelings?
00:37 [music]
00:40 The truth is, Eric is 44 years old and his wife, Anna, is from Russia.
00:47 You don't need to fly to travel to many international top destinations.
00:52 You can reach here.
00:54 You can visit many tourist attractions in America, Greece, Hong Kong, Turkey, France,
01:00 England, Japan, Jordan, Chile, Italy, Netherlands, Egypt, and Singapore.
01:08 [music]
01:11 Both of us would love to travel.
01:13 And we wanted to bring to local people an idea that you can go abroad,
01:22 but you're not leaving the country.
01:24 Tourist Farm started in 2016 and we're 8 years old now.
01:28 And it started private.
01:32 We only have one swimming pool and we built 8 rooms for the family.
01:37 Eric worked as a waiter in a restaurant in America.
01:42 This is where he met Anna, a Russian student who wanted to have a work experience
01:47 and to speak English fluently.
01:49 Eric and Anna's parents were against their relationship,
01:53 but they proved that love has no boundaries.
01:56 As a Filipino, my mom wants me to marry a Filipino.
02:01 We didn't want our parents to feel that we're against the culture.
02:08 So we just tried to find a solution in our relationship and how we present it to our parents.
02:17 Their relationship didn't end easily and they faced many challenges,
02:22 especially when they started their business in America.
02:25 We both business graduate.
02:27 So we both had a dream to build a business.
02:30 We need to shift from being employee to employer.
02:33 But that's not an easy shift, especially when you need the capital, you need to know how to run it.
02:39 So we start this real estate in America, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.
02:45 That's the time, it was a recession.
02:48 Because of the lack of income in America, the couple decided to just go home.
02:54 When we moved here in the Philippines, we were really wiped out.
02:58 Because for one year, I didn't get any work or I didn't get any close deals in real estate.
03:04 And Anna, she's also like that in her modeling career, she didn't get anything.
03:09 Eric and Anna tried the real estate business in the Philippines, but it also closed.
03:14 The two didn't stop building their dream.
03:17 This is where they thought of building a small resort from their old business.
03:21 Since we're a small resort, what do we need to prove to get recognized?
03:26 So really, for that six, almost one year, our income here is really negative.
03:34 Until they found business partners and raised several millions to level up their resort.
03:42 They saw that there are people coming, they saw what Anna and I were doing, how to market this resort.
03:51 And that's when they had the openness to put more attractions here in Taurus Park.
03:59 They don't think that this can be bigger.
04:01 But Eric and I, we're the same. We just really go through the hardship and we learn.
04:08 230 pesos for adults, while 160 pesos for kids, is the entrance fee for Eric and Anna's farm and resort.
04:16 Where they can tour their international destinations.
04:20 But if you prefer swimming, just add 30 pesos for your 7-hour session.
04:27 It's super worth it, right? It's really perfect for all seasons.
04:30 So that's why I chose Taurus Farm as my first timer.
04:34 Because I saw it on social media, and since it's worth 260 pesos, you can tour the whole world.
04:40 Because there are a lot of tourist attractions and tourist parks.
04:43 It's so relaxing and I'm sleepy in the air.
04:47 We're from Nueva Ecija, because we saw on Facebook posts that Taurus Farm is beautiful.
04:57 So we went here and we saw it.
05:03 We're going to eat.
05:04 Hi!
05:10 Hi!
05:11 Good morning!
05:12 Do you travel?
05:13 Why would I travel? I'm here to tour around the world.
05:17 Plus, I want to experience pizza making.
05:19 You'll be baking?
05:20 Yes.
05:21 We're going to make vegetarian pizza, since I love vegetables.
05:24 First, put flour.
05:25 Our hands are clean, right?
05:27 We'll wash our hands.
05:29 Like this, and then you put over it.
05:32 This dough is handmade, so it's not too soft.
05:38 So you press it first.
05:41 We'll flatten it.
05:43 You can compete with this dough.
05:46 This is the original way in Italy.
05:49 The way of making pizza.
05:51 This is Amare, right?
05:53 We fried it.
05:55 How is it?
05:56 For example, you want to try pizza making experience, right?
06:00 Is there a fee for this?
06:03 No, you just have to order pizza.
06:06 You can make your own pizza.
06:08 You make your own pizza and then you eat your pizza?
06:12 Yes.
06:13 I'll teach you the basic flip.
06:16 One hand is closed like this.
06:19 The other hand is like this.
06:21 So when you flip, you catch it like this.
06:27 Okay.
06:28 Close your eyes.
06:30 Do it first.
06:31 Like this.
06:32 Okay.
06:35 I'm so far from the flip.
06:37 So now, when it's flattened, you can put it on the plate.
06:48 On the plate?
06:49 Yes.
06:50 Okay, next.
06:52 Our first layer is tomato base, so marinara sauce.
06:56 Okay, so one spoon in the middle first.
07:00 Then spread it.
07:02 Okay, our next layer is mozzarella cheese.
07:08 Ah, this is mozzarella.
07:10 Then, the vegetables.
07:15 This is garlic, but it's roasted.
07:17 So we spread the mushroom.
07:19 Then, put the bell pepper and white onion.
07:23 Then, arrange each side.
07:25 So now, we'll put it in the oven.
07:28 Oven.
07:29 And leave.
07:30 Bye pizza! Come back again soon!
07:34 We're sending!
07:37 We'll give you the pizza!
07:39 Okay, but this is delicious.
07:47 After you cook, eat it!
07:51 The price of the pizza is from Php 285 to Php 990.
07:55 By Eric and Anna, who have two sizes.
07:58 Their six cheese pizza is a bestseller,
08:00 four for Maggi spinach pizza,
08:03 and Alvin's pizza.
08:05 Aside from the pizza making experience,
08:09 Anna and Eric will have a boodle fight, right?
08:12 You'll join me in swimming with your family,
08:15 and you'll eat a delicious boodle fight.
08:19 You used to have a cafe here.
08:21 I heard that you started with a small hut here.
08:24 Yes, it's just a tent.
08:25 We started with a coffee-shaped tent.
08:29 And then?
08:30 And then, I saw the potential of many people requesting rice meals.
08:36 Since we're here, what are we waiting for?
08:38 Let's eat!
08:40 The grilled pork belly is delicious.
08:47 And of course, my favorite, the okra.
08:50 The okra.
08:52 Okra, my favorite.
08:53 Php 1,050 to Php 5,999 are the boodle trays of Eric and Anna.
09:00 They have good for 8 packs, 15 packs and 25 packs,
09:03 which need to be pre-ordered for 2 to 3 days.
09:06 They also have drinks like the Choco Hazelnut Proffe,
09:09 Healthy Heart Juice, and Blue Pacifico Cocktail.
09:14 In their hard work, they are not surprised to earn a lot.
09:19 Well, the total income of the resort is in seven digits.
09:23 Before, it was just a break-even, but this time,
09:26 at least somehow, we have something left to build more attraction.
09:32 Before, it's hard to introduce the resort of Eric and Anna.
09:37 Now, it's considered the happiest place in Cavite.
09:42 There are a lot of resorts here in Naig.
09:45 So, if you're not unique, why would you go?
09:48 That's why we have the creativeness of Anna.
09:51 We didn't have a big budget for the marketing, and we had to be creative.
09:56 You can just use your contacts in Facebook, and sometimes you really have to be resourceful.
10:05 Because of the winner of the business, the visitors have already visited
10:09 their establishments to renovate, and Eric and Anna added kitchen equipment.
10:15 They also help with the charity and outreach program.
10:19 I'm very thankful that you joined me here in the Philippines,
10:22 and now we have this happy life, happy family that we're continuously building.
10:28 Well, I'm also thankful that you became my wife.
10:33 I'm happy that I followed you here in the Philippines.
10:39 If you already won the love life, don't go for the business.
10:41 What is the key to success, Eric and Anna?
10:44 Sometimes, failure makes you stronger.
10:47 That's the best lesson or like your tuition fee to gain more knowledge.
10:53 Also, hard work. I'm very lucky that I have a partner that's very supportive.
10:58 Start with something small.
11:00 Develop the right routine, and be diligent in learning.
11:06 Nada pa bumangon na tagumpa. Yan ang kwentong never say die ng mag-asawang Eric at Anna.
11:11 Magkaibaman ang lahi at ginagis ng kultura.
11:14 Pagdating sa negosyo, perfect partner sa pag-asenso.
