00:00 Hello OG, I'm Wina Baldonado.
00:02 We're here at Moncada Tarilac.
00:04 Welcome to our farmhouse.
00:06 Welcome to Don Juanito Baldonado Farm.
00:08 Come, let's continue.
00:10 Don Juanito Baldonado Farm.
00:21 It was called Don Juanito Baldonado Farm
00:24 because that's my father's name, Juanito Baldonado.
00:27 So he was the one who started this project.
00:31 That's why when we continued this project,
00:33 we just named it after him.
00:35 It started actually April of 2021.
00:40 That was during the pandemic.
00:42 But one month after this project, he passed away.
00:47 So this was his last project.
00:56 His initial plan was,
00:58 since I am the owner of Above Sea Level,
01:00 he said, "Since your business is making money,
01:04 why not buy a farm lot?"
01:06 Of course, as an entrepreneur,
01:08 we couldn't see the value of a farmhouse or farm lot
01:13 because we really wanted to do business.
01:15 He said, "The value of the land is increasing."
01:20 So he convinced me, and he bought a 3-hectare lot.
01:23 That's why Don Juanito Baldonado Farm is here.
01:26 The whole lot is 3 hectares.
01:37 The floor area of the house is around 100 square meters.
01:42 The inspiration for our farmhouse is ancestral homes.
01:52 So when you go here,
01:54 it's like you're transporting in Spanish times.
01:57 If you can see the design of our farmhouse,
02:00 it's a mix of Filipino and Spanish design.
02:04 Because there's concrete underneath.
02:06 So, of course, we're here on the farm,
02:08 so the foundation needs to be sturdy.
02:12 So this is the design we made.
02:15 When we started building this,
02:20 I appreciated it.
02:22 It's becoming popular now,
02:24 the idea of building houses, farmhouses, and farmlands.
02:29 So I checked on YouTube,
02:32 and I saw OG Channel's episodes first.
02:36 So every time I have something to do,
02:39 I see the design, and I'll copy it.
02:43 So actually, I'm not an architect,
02:46 I'm not an engineer.
02:48 My brother is an electrical engineer.
02:50 So he's the one who planned this house.
02:52 So he's also getting his inspiration from OG Channel.
02:56 Here in our farmhouse, we have four bedrooms.
03:04 So two, without air-conditioning,
03:10 so they can feel like they're on a farm.
03:13 And then downstairs,
03:14 there are two air-conditioned rooms.
03:18 [music]
03:20 Each has its own bathroom.
03:26 Then there's a kitchen.
03:30 A common bathroom in the living room.
03:34 And then here in this farm,
03:37 there's a basketball court.
03:39 We also added a bonfire area,
03:42 because we saw it on OG.
03:43 Then eventually, we'll probably add a pool,
03:46 because this is a work-in-progress house.
03:49 And then you'll see,
03:55 I also have a mini office that I made.
03:58 So right after work, when I'm stressed,
04:01 I'll just go out there to have coffee,
04:03 then check the scenery,
04:05 and I'll be relaxed.
04:06 When we were making this farmhouse,
04:16 of course, there was a pandemic,
04:17 and a lot of establishments were closed,
04:19 construction, hardware, and so on.
04:22 So we had no choice but to look for
04:24 what we had in our house.
04:26 That's why we were able to save,
04:29 because we mostly looked for
04:31 what we already had.
04:33 So in this area,
04:39 it's a continuation of our Filipino
04:41 and Spanish design.
04:43 So if you can see,
04:45 we have an elegant staircase here.
04:48 As you can see, there's an outdoor area here.
04:50 This is where the debu and weddings are held.
04:53 And with this concrete design as well,
04:56 this serves as an extension
04:58 to our house.
04:59 For the house,
05:08 we only spent around Php 900,000,
05:11 almost less than a million.
05:12 Because at first,
05:14 our plan was to have a small house.
05:17 Then it grew,
05:19 because we were able to find materials
05:21 in our old house
05:23 that we could use.
05:25 That's why we didn't spend a lot here.
05:27 My advice to those who want to build
05:38 their own farmhouse,
05:40 events place, or house,
05:42 if you really want to build it,
05:44 go for it.
05:45 Even if your capital is small.
05:47 Because you can start with a simple idea,
05:49 "I'll build my house."
05:51 Then while you're saving,
05:53 just keep on expanding it.
05:55 And then don't expect
05:58 what will happen
05:59 while you're expanding it.
06:00 Because you'll have a lot of ideas to think about.
06:03 And then eventually,
06:03 it'll become your business.
06:06 Because you'll have a lot to do.
06:08 Since we always stay here,
06:10 and I'm the owner of Above Sea Level Restaurant,
06:12 they train here in Mangkada, Tarlac.
06:15 Every time, a franchisee opens.
06:17 So they are looking for an accommodation
06:20 or place to stay,
06:22 that's cheap.
06:23 So I thought,
06:24 why not offer
06:26 the farmhouse that my father built
06:29 for them.
06:30 I'm inviting you
06:32 to visit Don Juanito Baldonado Farm
06:36 here in Mangkada, Tarlac.
06:38 It's now open for public.
06:39 It can hold 20 to 30 packs.
06:42 So you can enjoy the whole 3 hectare farm lot
06:45 for only P10,000 a night.
06:47 The amenities are already inclusive,
06:50 like the
06:51 water,
06:52 the food,
06:53 the water supply,
06:54 the water, the water supply,
