Robi Domingo opens his family farmhouse to Star Studio Magazine

Avid fans of MYX VJ/Giggerboy Robi Domingo are already familiar with his newly-built home in Quezon City. But for the first time, the young actor shows his family’s Big Ben Farm in Pulilan, Bulacan in Star Studio Magazine’s April issue. Apparently, it is where he spent most of his childhood before they moved to Quezon City years later. Owned by his her mother’s younger brother, the 12-hectare property boasts of a sprawling American-style farmhouse, a swimming pool, several ponds and pens for various animals like dogs, turkeys, peacocks, thoroughbred horses, and even an ostrich.

While Robi has developed a love for horseback riding, he shares that it’s not something he’s really good at. “My uncle taught me how to ride but I’m not that trained yet. Yung pinakamabait na horse ang pinapagamit nila sa akin kapag nandoon ako. They won’t let me ride my uncle’s horse kasi malaki tapos wild pa. Mabilis tumakbo!” But once you’ve seen the spacious grounds of the farm, it is easy to imagine why Robi used to visit the place three times a month prior his stint in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus two years ago. There are lots of fun-filled activities that they can do or they can simply lie back and relax inside the farmhouse’s airy and well-lit entertainment room. “Huling movie na napanood ko dun is yung Paranormal Activity,” he adds.

Find out more about Robi Domingo’s sweet escape away from the city in Star Studio Magazine April. Other celebrity homes that are featured in this issue includes Kuh Ledesma’s hacienda in Cavite plus Joem Bascon’s rustic hideaway in Antipolo.

Books: Robi Domingo

MANILA, Philippines — I like reading books that teach me things about life — inspirational and self-improvement books. A favorite is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. Another uplifting book is “Enter His Gates: A Daily Journey into the Master’s Presence” by Dr. Charles F. Stanley. This book was a birthday gift from (“Pinoy Big Brother” teen housemate) Rona Libby of Dumaguete. She’s religious. This book teaches you to be practical and to give each person his due. It allows you to hone your ideas and to let your true personality shine through. But first you have to be proactive.
