It's been over a week now, but I still can't believe we've finally made it.
What started as a simple dream is now becoming a reality. We've prayed, faced countless obstacles, and there were moments when we wanted to give up. But our passion and dedication kept driving us to push through. We thank God for His guidance, for always providing what we needed, especially during times when we thought we couldn't make it. When we lacked the resources, God always lifted us up and made a way. Truly, God provides.
To our loving parents, Mamila Corazon Vega, Papilo Ronald Vega, Mamala Dorothy Calinog, and Papalo Antonio Calinog, thank you for all the support since day one. Sorry for being the "shock absorbers" when Rey and I were stressed. For all the "connections," suggesting reliable and affordable suppliers, and for taking care of our kids when we were swamped – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
To our business partners, coaches, and inspirations to dream big and make it happen – Ninang Sarah Pana and Ninong Cesar Pana, Ninong Junab Ablola, Ninang Michelle DG Mabulo and Ninong Fermin Mabulo – we owe you so much! Thank you for all your support. ❤️
Villa Kathreyna wouldn’t be as beautiful without the brilliant ideas and designs of our architects, Arch. Jonas and Arch. Paul Christopher Terrobias of BT architects. Thank you for transforming this “haunted house” into one of the attractions in the barangay. Your guidance has been with us every step of the way, and we are beyond grateful, even though we bargained hard with you. Promise, bawi kami next time! 😄
With immense gratitude, we would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Atty. Alen Callo for all the legal guidance and support. Your expertise and unwavering commitment have been invaluable throughout this journey.🙏
