What was supposed to be just a family vacation spot during the pandemic has become a hot spot for visitors who want to go off-grid.
Having traveled the world, photographer Randall Dagooc is no stranger to beautiful places. But it was an unplanned road trip in his hometown in Camarines Sur that he found his own “Neverland.”
When he and his partner Diana acquired the property in San Ramon in 2018, their initial plan was for it to be just a campsite for when their family visited Bicol. While both Randall and Diana were both born and raised in Bicol, they’d both moved to Metro Manila for their studies, and eventually for their respective careers – Randall as a photographer and Diana as a lawyer. They’d only been going back to Bicol for two to three short trips a year.
Building Kiukad wasn’t easy – and both Randall and Diana had the locals of San Ramon to thank for helping turn their plans into reality. Coming from Manila tapos going there, wala talaga kaming ka-alam alam. Kaya ‘yung pandemic talaga parang dinala kami doon para matuto ehWe left the comfort and convenience of our lives in Metro Manila for us to experience the unfiltered and raw life in Siruma,” Randall said.
“But it’s not easy to entertain guests there,” Diana said. “Sabi ko kay Randall , we have to do something so we could also address our costs. That’s when we decided that maybe those coming can also contribute something whenever they visit.”
