Marichit is famous for her siopao, a Filipino steamed dumpling, and her salvaro, a delicacy made from pounded, sun-dried, and fried cassava. She sells these all over the island, but most notably at the school. Inside the siopao is either meat or eggs, and it is a must-try if you’re staying at her home. Her day starts at 3 AM when she begins cooking. She opens her sari-sari store at the front of the house to sell goods to anybody passing by. She also volunteers as a Barangay Health Worker at the Malapascua Health Center a couple of times a week.
When time allows, most afternoons, Marichit makes her second batch of siopao and then heads to the school for their snack time! Her husband, Jerry, or Bobong for short, works as a boat captain for a resort on the island and has been fishing the waters surrounding Malapascua for most of his life. He has a wide breadth of knowledge about the sea and would be happy to guide travelers wishing to swim, snorkel, or dive in the best direction. He also helps Marichit develop her online cooking business like a true business partner!
Marichit and Bobong have three children, two of whom study in Cebu City, while the other one currently lives in Bohol. The family also has pets, two of which are loving, well-behaved dogs, Jamesi and Miah, and one is a cat. They really want the guests to feel at home in their house, and Marichit will take care of them as her own children!

No preference in guests
This quaint house is located in a very quiet grassy field. The comfortable sofas in the living room offer a nice place to rest after a day on the beach. The newly renovated bathroom includes a shower head. The house is far from the noisy neighborhood so it offers a break from the hustle and bustle of the more populated part of the island. The bedroom has a single-bed and offers a wardrobe to put your belongings in and of course an electric fan to cool you down.
In that case, before you fill out the booking form, we would just invite you to check their availability.
