Their farm is called AG Polo Farm, named after Andrea's partner, polo player Anthony Garcia.

She also told Mars Pa More hosts, Iya Villania and Camille Prats, that it's where they spent most of the lockdown period.

The property has a 7-bedroom farm house, a pool, chicken farm and a rueda or pit. Its located near Solar Farms Philippines.

Their chicken farm usually houses 250-300 chickens, mostly roosters. They also have Boer goats in their farm.

Andrea said although the rueda or pit is mainly used as a place for the sparring of their roosters, it is also where they would have breakfast and lunch.

Plus, it is also where there is strong internet connection, so it is also where her daughter Beatrice does her online classes.

Andrea also talked about what's been keeping them busy during the quarantine period.

She said they harvested mangoes in their farm during lockdown and on a personal level, she was able to unlock many skills, including painting.

Andrea took up Fine Arts in college and used her free time during the quarantine to rekindle her love for it.

“I got a canvass (and) painted. (Used) kung ano 'yung mga found objects in the farm because ang hirap din mag-order.

“May mga lumang canvasses lang na nakita sa storage, so I got (them). It was fun, though.”

Andrea was also able to train her Belgian Malinois dogs, bake keto bread and refurbished old furniture during lockdown.

Indeed, the former Viva Hot Babes member was pretty productive during the quarantine period and she said she and her family got to enjoy a streamlined or simplified life amid the pandemic.

“We count our blessings kasi nakita rin namin 'yung mga pinagdaanan ng tao sa TV, you know, while nangyayari 'yung pandemya.

“We were so fortunate kasi nandoon din 'yung trabaho ni Anthony. He plays polo there. Nakakapaglaro pa kami. So, ano e, super blessed (kami).”

She also revealed that she also experienced emotional healing in the face of the pandemic.

“Just being able to connect with my family once again. Before, I didn't (get) to do that and then marami ring broken relationships that were mended during (lockdown).”
