Typhoon Odette has shakened the lives and destroyed the houses of our brothers and sisters in Visayas and Mindanao. Houses were torn down hence, re-building is what is necessary.
If you are afraid to break your bank or does not have enough to restart, take a cue from this couple who only spent P280,000 to build their own home – AB Magtulis and Hazel Garcia.

AB and Hazel, who have been working from home, both wanted to have their own personal space. Practically speaking, they did not want to splurge on a condominium unit. Hence, they have decided to build their own tiny home.

Their humble abode is situated across Hazel’s family home. With only P280,000, they were already able to build their two-storey home. Their abode nestles AB and Hazel’s workspaces, a living room, bathroom, and a bed that’s accessible through the staircase.

Though it only expands to a tiny 6-square meter floor area, mind you, it has a 15-feet tall foundation securing the rooftop. If the couple needs a downtime, up they go.
So, if you’re on a tight budget and is looking to rebuild or build your own home, take this as a cue and score a tip or two.
