00:00At that time, because there was no movement, we needed space because there were kids,
00:12we were taking care of our cousins who had COVID at that time.
00:21So we really needed space.
00:24Eventually, we acquired this piece of property.
00:29Our intention for this property is just for us.
00:33It's like our vacation.
00:37So eventually, we saw that there is potential to convert it into a commercial.
00:43So that other people can enjoy what became our theme here on the farm.
00:50What did you start taking care of here?
00:55At that time, it was mostly horses.
01:00Oh, okay.
01:01So the horses were not allowed.
01:04Expensive.
01:05Expensive.
01:06So we took care of camels and goats.
01:10But most of them were imported.
01:12We didn't take care of local breeds.
01:16This one looks like it's from Australia.
01:18It looks like it's from Australia.
01:20They look like foreigners.
01:22Our theme here is more on the Netherlands.
01:27Okay.
01:28Which explains the windmills, our barnhouse, and the overall feel.
01:35How many rooms do you have here?
01:37We have three villas at the moment.
01:39Okay.
01:40Per villa, you can accommodate at least 25 packs.
01:45What can your guests experience when they visit your farm?
01:49When they visit here, it's like going back to nature.
01:52Especially in the metropolis, especially in the Metro Manila area,
01:58they won't experience this.
02:00For them, this is heaven.
02:03You'll feed the animals, harvest the plants.
02:08That's heaven for them.
02:10They won't experience it.
02:12It's very educational for the kids.
02:15Yes.
02:16They'll encounter close encounters like this.
