Foreigner’s Husband's Family Built A Beach Villa Resort In The Philippines

[@flipmarley3122]

This episode is the best representation of how Filipinos help each other to not only survive but also to better their lives. This episode makes me so proud to be a Filipino. I can't wait to visit the Philippines this year with my family, and hopefully, they will experience how thankful of what God has given us everyday. Very nice episode. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariomovillon1613]

The beautiful story of how RAFA is born is the parallel story of a Family who's dream was truly inspired and propelled by their struggles and challenges they have to overcome. And it came into its fruition because of the collectively unselfish caring and unequivocal support of each member of this large family and their kins. The quintessential layout and overall design of the Resort has an overall positive and homey vibe that truly promotes family and 'barkada' bondings to the max. Fond memories created for those staycations in such a lovely lively place will always be cherished for life. And those memorable moments thereat would immensely be priceless.

[@Mariainthephilippines]

I absolutely love the story of the family and how RAFA brought their dream to life, the fact that the hut was their original home roof is a true inspiration for all Filipinos. I just want to add that I would love to get a chance for this gift for my Tita, She is 62 years old and is now at the happiest part of her life, I think she finally found the man of her dreams and this would be the best place for them to get married in. She has had hard times and also lots of surgeries and I would love to see them there at their happiest moment.❤ She met my Tito about 1 year ago and now she's coming back here to be with him at of this month. ❤

I suffered a stroke 3years ago my husband and son has been taking care of me as I recover this would be such a nice treat for my husband we’re planning a trip back to the Philippines the end of may29 to June 6

[@felicitasnaguit7732]

great opportunity to the winner, hoping I'm the one. God bless Mom's Duty!

[@marialourdesdelapena1111]

Behind the success is a heartwarming story about how it all begins. It shows how humble the owners of RAFA are, and how they honor their past and show gratitude to those who helped them along the way. The villas are well designed and the garden is amazing. It is a good environment for family bonding. Whoever wins the promo, I am sure will have some amazing time!!!

[@ellainebuenaventura7428]

Everything in Rafa resort is perfect! My husband and I watched it together and we are so blown away about the story behind it and how they designed the villas.

[@PhilCherry3]

This is your best family video! The resort looks fabulous. Your extended family’s life stories are moving and inspirational!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@alwaysInMotion001]

I love the authenticity of your vlogs. It’s also impressive how your whole family contributes to the success of your vlogs, including your kids and even your relatives! More power to you and your channel! Hello from Seattle, Washington!

[@thatss0krista]

We’ve been following you since Cabo days! We love your family and would love to stay at this resort for a family reunion from all across the world!

[@melbinaraba1460]

I love your villas! Just perfect for big family!!!i love the private pool, high ceiling and of course nice interior design eith Pinoy accent. I love the skidoo, atv and banana boat. Perfect Filipino getaway with a heart❤

[@lizas3189]

My first Mom Duty vlog. Very entertaining! Will definitely watch your other vlogs. The sisters’ story is inspirational. Wishing you great success as you share your story and your casitas to the world! Super Ganda!

[@krs10na_a]

I love the place and their story. You can just tell the owners have family in mind when they made the resort and the villas especially. Where most places tends to limit the amount of people for each accommodation to one person per bed, they on the other hand, keep the filipino customary sleeping arrangement (2 people per bed😅). I'm rating it ❤❤❤❤❤! I also love how Nelvine helped his cuzn to get a better education. It's priceless and it shows how they look up to him like an older brother.

[@MomDuty]

Awww thank you for this beautiful message. Just read it to the fam. Super nice of you to take the time to write something so meaningful🥹

[@ricardojosecastro1454]

Very Elegant Place... its nice to be Rented Out for a Beach Garden Wedding... 😊😊😊😊😊 Favorite Part was the Casita Sofia

[@wiemendez3843]

What a beautiful resort❤ I love everything about Rafa's resort, the beautiful villas, the activities they offer and of course the nice and kind people of the resort👍

[@proudpinoy4743]

very nice property.. hats off to Bing2 for helping his cousin on her nursing school.. beautiful family!!

[@tedroorda5358]

Absolutely Beautiful!!! My fist destination when I arrive in the Philippines !!! I Love all the History that is part of it !

[@bashersbeware]

Ganda-ganda camera shy....hahaha..Circle of life, that's what it is and is true for everyone as long as you aspire and not remain stagnant. The American dream isn't the only dream out there. Can happen in the Philippines too. Dream+Work=Success. Best lesson is that no matter what stage in life you're at, stay humble, be kind and acknowledge everyone. They build a really nice place out there. Give glory to God, who lifted you up. I've been to Morong and had an overnight stay with officemates in my first job. Can't remember the place anymore but t'was a bit secluded and we had to park about a 100 meters coz it was not accessible anymore. I remember the water being freakinglishly cold because the water that went into the pool were from the mountains and we did our swim 8PM onwards. We could've drank the water if we wanted. We came straight from our office in Makati after we got off.

[@dumlifevlogs5193]

I love that the story behind Rafa resort is about sharing the warm experience with friends and family. Coming from such humble beginnings is something worth celebrating! Thank you for opening this paradise! Looking forward sharing family celebrations with you!

[@daryalhall3119]

Behind every success there is an unseen hard work, sacrifices, and persistence. A dream doesn't become reality overnight; it takes sweat and determination to achieve what you have today. The appreciation and gratitude shown to those who helped them is a testament of how good people they are. Thanks for showing us this place, another place to consider for a family bonding, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whoever wins the promo will surely have a great time here in RAFA. Btw, it's my birthday (46th) and me and my husbands 7th Wedding anniversary (March 30th). We got married on my birthday so he won't forget both occasions hahahaha!!!!
