According to Lovely, it started when they went to the province to have a breather. They fell in love with the place, she said, encouraging them to make a business out of it.

"Isang araw, tinamaan ng anxiety ang asawa ko at nag-aya siya mag-outing. Do’n namin na-realize na ang sarap magpahinga sa malayo, sa tahimik na lugar, sa tabi ng maraming puno," she said. 

"Naisip na rin namin na ipa-private rent na rin sa iba," she added. "Araw-araw namin pinag-pray kay Lord; araw-araw namin siyang kinakausap kung ibibigay ba niya sa amin ‘to."

Lovely said she is also looking forward to opening more jobs for those in Pampanga with the business.

"Meron na at magkakaroon na ng Casa Manalo Resort. May mabibigyan na naman kami ng trabaho sa Pampanga area para mag-alaga ng bahay at ng mga magiging [suki] namin."

May this achievement of theirs be an inspiration for others, Lovely said. She told others to keep going.

"Alam ko madami kang pangarap, madami kang plano sa buhay, pero ‘di pwede na ipagdasal mo lang at si Lord na ang bahala, kasi kailangan sabayan ng sipag, tiyaga, at diskarte sa buhay," Lovely said.

"Di man agad binibgay pero tulad ng lagi kung sinasabi sa inyo, may kanya-kanyang plano sa atin si Lord. Magtiwala ka lang," she added.

The announcement about the Casa Manalo Resort comes just a few months after Lovely and Benj launched the Philippines’ first live-selling mall.

Lovely and Benj, who tied the knot in January 2021, are currently expecting their first child together.  —VBL, GMA Integrated News
