But we still want it to make it kind of Filipino so we wrapped it around with twigs to subdue then you know just the accents outside and fill it with plants, para forest. It is very diverse, the pool is nice, we have the kiddie pool, and 50 meters 'yung beach, and we have the restaurant so it can cater to any demographic," he explained.
