Silipin ang Three-Story Mansion Ni Joel Cruz At talagang Mamamangha Ka sa Ganda nito!

When he was six years old, the fragrance mogul Joel Cruz first dreamed of living in his own mansion with a swimming pool in the backyard. Growing up in Sampaloc, Manila, he becomes fascinated with homes featured on TV, particularly in the American syndicated series Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous. He got to a glimpse of this lavish lifestyle when he tagged along with his father Dionisio Cruz, the owner of a trucking service that drove caterers to fancy parties in exclusive subdivisions.

Now, Joel has his own mansion called Chateau de Milagros in Sampaloc, Manila. The mansion lies at the corner of Instruccion Street beside the main office of Aficionado Germany Perfume. Joel said:

"I'm enjoying my home because I have my family. I have my children...I believe yung love na nag-e-exist dito, yun yung talagang meaning ng isang home."

Joel shared that most of these parties were held in Forbes Park where the elites live. He said that he was amazed by their lifestyle and big houses.

"Gustong-gusto ko yung lifestyle nila. Gusto ko yung buhay nila na ang lalaki ng bahay. May swimming pool, ang gaganda ng kotse, yung ganun."

When he asked his father why is their house has no swimming pool and not as big as these houses in Forbes, his father answered him:

"Sabi ng father ko, they're professionals daw. Mga doctors, lawyers, or mga high-ranking positions sa government, yung ganun.

"'Tapos sabi niya, mag-aral daw akong mabuti... magsipag daw ako, maging matiyaga daw ako.

"Magkaroon daw ako ng sarili kong negosyo, magiging successful daw ako, magkakaroon din daw ako ng ganun."

Joel said that the Chateau de Milagros was built at first for his mother and now for his eight children namely Sean and Synne, Harry and Harvey, Charles and Charlotte, Zeid and Ziv.

"Now I really can say na I'm enjoying my home because I have my family. I have my children. That's very, very important sa bahay na ito, yung mga anak ko."
