About the host

A Home Built from Love and Memories
Having a big, close-knit family inspired me to build this home — a place where laughter echoes, and there’s always room to gather and belong.
People often ask why I share my home. I say, why not? I grew up sleeping on straw mats, eight siblings sharing one toilet, no bedroom of my own. I learned early that joy grows best when shared. Today, I open my doors with gratitude, remembering what it’s like to have just the basics and still feel rich in love.
For nearly three decades, I’ve helped others find homes as a real estate agent, while nurturing my own family of 31. I love dancing under the moonlight, breathing in the scent of roses, gardenias, camias, and herbs in my garden. As children, we could only play outside on full-moon nights — perhaps that’s why I still hold those nights sacred.
You’ll notice my love for nature everywhere — the living plants in every corner, the young fruit trees in the backyard. Gardening centers me; it’s my quiet prayer to the earth.
Music fills this home too. I was a teenager in the ’80s, and my heart still beats to its rhythm. I can only play one piece — Vera’s Theme — by ear. The Yamaha baby grand once played itself, but even without its gadget, it still sings beautifully to those who can.
Travel is another passion. Paris calls to me endlessly — its food, art, language, the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, and the River Seine awaken my romantic spirit. It’s also dear to me because Médecins Sans Frontières, a French organization, was the last to leave my hometown of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, after Typhoon Haiyan’s devastation.
My husband and I moved into the 1,600 additional dwelling unit. You’ll have the main house all to yourself — peaceful, private, and filled with warmth. Unless you need us, you’ll be left to simply enjoy and make it your own.
This home carries stories of family, gratitude, and joy — and if you stay here, I hope you feel that love woven into every corner.

Why they chose this property
I chose this place to be far from the crowd — a quiet haven where my big family could gather freely, laugh loudly, and live without fences between our hearts and the open sky. For a while, it was just us and the whisper of trees, the songs of birds at dawn, and the comfort of solitude.
Then, little by little, progress found its way here. Homes began to rise behind and beside us — elegant, custom-built, each one carrying its own story. The wide horizon I once claimed for myself is now shared with others.
Sometimes, I miss the stillness, the privacy that once wrapped this place like a soft blanket. But when I step outside and see the graceful silhouettes of these new homes, I am reminded that growth is also a kind of blessing — a sign that beauty attracts more beauty, and that life never stands still for long.

What makes this property unique
This home is a modern Victorian — a rare gem in an age where sleek lines and minimalist facades have taken over. It stands as a love letter to timeless beauty, where old-world charm meets modern grace.
The wraparound porch embraces the house like open arms, inviting laughter, quiet conversations, and morning coffee with the sound of birds. The turret rises proudly, like a watchful guardian from another era, while the rotunda glows softly at dusk — a gentle reminder that elegance never goes out of style.
Every arch, every curve tells a story of craftsmanship and heart — of an age when homes were built not just to shelter, but to inspire. Amid a sea of modern and craftsman designs, this Victorian stands tall and poetic — a dream made tangible, where nostalgia dances with the present.
