South Korea-based Pinoy Builds a Home for His Family
When he was younger, Joseph Villarino experienced living in a house with a leaky roof. Whenever it rained, water would drip through holes from the ceiling. And when the wind blew, rainwater would gust in through their house windows.
These early experiences taught Joseph to be strong, to work hard, and to persevere through all of life’s challenges. He studied hard and eventually became an OFW in South Korea. After 2 years of working abroad, he was able to save money and build a house for his family.
Their bungalow-type house has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and dining area. There’s also an outdoor patio where Joseph and his family can relax or entertain guests. All in all, the estimated cost of the house is PHP 1.3 million.
The house is simple, yet beautiful. What’s important to Joseph is that his family would have a safe and comfortable place to live in. They are his inspiration while he is working abroad.
Check out the following video featuring Joseph’s house in the Philippines, as shared via JONA TV YouTube Channel:
