00:00 Hello, I'm Makoy. We're here at Siroma Camarines Resort and welcome to Cute Cat, the last resort.
00:07 What I was thinking back then, for me, the pandemic, I was thinking that it would last
00:25 five years or six years or ten years because it's our first time, our generation, to experience
00:31 the pandemic. So I said, "We're going to stay here." It just so happened that our friends also
00:38 wanted to come here. So sometimes, when we're not around, they want to rent the place because they
00:44 also want to share it with their family. We invite them because we want them to experience the beauty
00:48 of the place. Because of the pandemic, you know, it's like when you go home from the city,
00:55 you see your friends, you start to feel lonely because you're always at home.
01:01 We're here, we're enjoying our lives during the pandemic. We're always in the sun, we're always at the beach.
01:06 We also experienced the strong winds here.
01:16 And I was thinking, "What if it's a storm?" What I did was build a strong A-frame house.
01:23 [Music]
01:30 [Music]
01:40 [Music]
01:47 The concept is very minimalist.
01:50 Because the wall is your roof.
01:54 So you can't decorate it with anything.
01:59 So what we did was, as long as it's livable, there's a kitchen,
02:05 a sofa,
02:09 a dining area,
02:15 a room for the couple,
02:18 and a room for the kids.
02:22 The design is family-oriented.
02:25 The black house is around 48 square meters.
02:38 It can accommodate 10 to 12 people.
02:43 [Music]
02:45 Randall told us that if we're going to build a house, it should be different.
02:50 For example, if we're going to sleep here, it's different.
02:53 If we're going to sleep there, it's different.
02:56 If we're going to sleep in the other house, like in Camarines, the vibe is different.
03:00 [Music]
03:10 My name is Greg. I'm 28 years old.
03:14 Here in QDCAD, we manage the whole place.
03:20 It was my first time visiting here.
03:25 I was mesmerized by the owner of the black house, Bayao Ni Makoy.
03:29 I joined him and fell in love with the place.
03:31 I resented my previous job and I decided to stay here.
03:36 I still enjoy it.
03:39 [Music]
03:47 Camarines is one of the four houses that are rented out here in QDCAD.
03:53 It's owned by Munding Estrada, Tito Munds.
03:55 He's not here because he's a seaman.
03:59 He'll be here for two months before he comes back.
04:02 Camarines is inspired by traditional Filipino houses.
04:07 That's why it's native.
04:09 Tito Munds travels to other countries to make decorations.
04:19 He brought those home to the Philippines.
04:22 [Music]
04:30 It's spacious and has a kitchen.
04:32 It has a deck on the second floor.
04:35 [Music]
04:41 It has six beds.
04:43 Two king beds, two double beds, and two single beds.
04:47 The deck has no barriers.
04:51 You can see the Pacific Ocean.
04:54 It has a great view.
04:56 Actually, a 360-degree view is good.
05:00 You can look at anything.
05:04 The area is 100 square meters.
05:07 Ideally, 12 people can accommodate in a Camarine.
05:13 12 people is not that tight.
05:17 It's spacious.
05:18 Our role here is that the house should be far away.
05:25 For example, if I have relatives who come to visit us,
05:30 we'll be noisy. The other house won't disturb them.
05:35 [Music]
05:43 We have a lot of activities here in Quedcad.
05:47 From reef to ridge, you have options.
05:51 If you want to go to the sea, you can snorkel or free dive.
05:55 [Music]
06:00 Surfing, but it also depends on the weather.
06:03 Sometimes, the sun is strong, the wind is strong,
06:06 sometimes the reef tide, the reef current is strong.
06:09 If reef activities are not available,
06:14 we can do it here on land.
06:17 We can go hiking, trekking, or go to Pasto.
06:22 Pasto is a hill.
06:25 From Quedcad, it's about an hour walk.
06:28 You can also go to mangroves.
06:31 There are mangroves here in the back.
06:33 You can kayak.
06:34 You can see a lot of things.
06:36 It's very peaceful.
06:38 We offer not only the scenery, the place, and the spot.
06:43 What we do is, as much as possible,
06:45 we try to interact with each guest.
06:48 We jam them, we share stories.
06:51 That's the best part about this kind of work.
06:56 It's like reading a book, you learn a lot.
06:59 You can learn a lot from everyone.
07:03 We're happy because you know,
07:09 you appreciate what you do.
07:12 We didn't build this house as a house.
07:16 Our house is also our personality.
07:20 They came here, they liked the place,
07:23 they chose the house.
07:25 What if we go?
07:27 Let's rent it.
07:28 It's only 10 days.
07:29 They shot it.
07:31 It's okay.
07:32 It's fun because it's been a while
07:34 since a company like that shot here in Bicol.
07:39 What I learned from renting a house is
07:47 the sharing of experience.
07:49 If you don't have a lot of experience,
07:51 it's better to share it with others.
07:54 If it's a rental, we're just maintaining it.
07:58 We don't earn much here
08:03 because there are a lot of repairs.
08:05 If you have a house by the sea,
08:09 there are a lot of repairs.
08:11 You'll have to replace it later.
08:14 If you want to go to QtQan,
08:17 we have four houses to offer.
08:21 There's a brown house,
08:24 a marina,
08:26 and a QtQan lounge.
08:30 The black house is 14,000 pesos,
08:35 good for two days and one night.
08:38 You can contact us at QtQan,
08:42 The Last Resort,
08:44 that's our FB page.
08:45 We also have an Instagram.
08:47 If you want to experience the quiet life,
08:52 come here once in a while.
08:54 The people here are very kind.
08:56 You'll definitely enjoy it.
