Randy Oliverio once dreamed what his father dreamed of, and after five years of hardship and sacrifices , he finally made the blueprint drawing of his father into a reality.
A native from San Antonio, Northern Samar, Oliverio described their nipa house with roof that would leak when it rains.
“5 years ago, sinabi ko sa sarili ko na, ‘eto na ang huling beses na makikita ko yung bahay namain na maraming tapal dahil sa butas” Oliverio said.
He narrated that whenever his colleagues asked him what he had invested, he always answers that he wanted to build a new house in the province for his family. His friends told him to invest his money for business. Others even described his goal of building the house as a “dead investment” as there’s is no return of investment out of it. But instead, he chose to pursue the dream of his father to have a two-storey house with a terrace.
Challenges
His goal to fulfill his parents’ dream prevailed despite all of the negative feedback he got, and he made sure to work hard to make it a reality. Oliverio divulged that he was motivated by a “successful person’s“ story in which Oliverio narrated that, that person had also goals for his parents, but when the time comes he was already successful, his parents were not there anymore to see it.
“Gusto ko ibigay sa magulang ko yung gusto nilang pagkain na kaya pa nila lasahan at at nguyain dahil hindi pa bawal. Gusto ko rin mapuntahan nila yung ibang lugar na kaya pa nilang e enjoy habang naglalakad at gusto ko ma enjoy nila yung akyat baba ng 2nd floor ng bahay na pangarap naila na hindi sumsaakit ang tuhod,” he said.
“Yun ang mga bagay na hindi nila naranasan noon dahil di afford na gusto ko ma experience nila bago ang takip silim ng buhay nila. Iba rin pala pag pamilya or magulang mo ang nagging inspirasyon mo kasi binibigay taalga ni Lord” he added.
Currently, he is a property specialist at a well-known and established property developer in the Philippines. Aside from giving his family a dream house, he also gets to travel to different countries already.
He shared a photo of their house in 2014 and how it has since transformed into the new house it has become this 2019.
