Through the years, we’ve seen how Jessy Mendiola and Luis Manzano have had their share of heartbreaks after their break-ups with their fellow celebrity exes. So seeing the two tying the knot to live happily ever after is giving fans all the feels.
If you’ve been wondering where their recently announced secret wedding in February was held, they’ve just revealed that it was in the Filipino-themed resort The Farm at San Benito in Batangas.

Located in Lipa City, Batangas, the resort is known for their unique wooden suites and villas showcasing the intricacies of local architecture, blended modern features. For instance, the resort’s Sulu Terraces offer air-conditioned, rice barn-style modern treehouses with wood-beamed ceilings and thatched roofs.
This type of accommodation is the resort’s most affordable, starting at P14,640 per night (~USD301 including taxes, good for two), with a healthy vegan breakfast.
And while the houses might seem small, they actually have plenty of amenities. Each house has a shower area and free WiFi, for example, and underneath the houses lie outdoor lounge areas, where you can dine while surrounded by nature. There are seating areas on the houses’ upper floor as well.

On 4th April, Mendiola surprised everyone when she posted a vlog named “Our Intimate Wedding” on her YouTube channel. The vlog confirmed her wedding with Manzano and showcased scenes from their photoshoots and wedding ceremony. These were held in the greenery of The Farm at San Benito that Mendiola said perfectly complemented their laid-back, garden-themed wedding.

Their closest families and friends, including Manzano’s parents – Batangas 6th District Representative Vilma Santos and actor Edu Manzano – witnessed their nuptials.
The wedding of Mendiola and Manzano struck the right balance between minimalism and luxury, thanks to The Farm at San Benito’s lush green landscape and unique Filipino-themed houses.
