MANILA — Celebrity couple Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte are making smart money moves. The two have invested in resort properties in Laguna and Zambales, which Andalio said reflect their shared goal of focusing on assets over luxury purchases.
"Kami ni Ronnie, kakatapos lang ng Hidden Santuaryo 'yung name niya... October lang, sa Laguna," Andalio said in the latest episode of Thank Talk Tea vlog hosted by Kring Kim.
"So sa loob ng Biñan, may Hidden Santuaryo na pwede kang mag-relax, walang kapitbahay. As in, farm siya talaga. Two thousand square meters tapos 'yung bahay nasa 70 sqm, 'yung villas ay nasa 50 sqm, mas napapaligiran ka ng nature talaga. Ang pwedeng matulog ay 16 pax. Tapos puwedeng mag-event 30 pax, kasi last time nag-birthday ang mommy ko roon at sister ko," Andalio added.

The couple also bought a property in Zambales.
"Tapat siya mismo ng beach. ...Nabili namin siya existing resort na siya. Tapos tinutuloy lang namin siya ni Ronnie. So 'yun ang mga investment na mas dapat pagkagastusan," the actress said.
Andalio said she and Alonte are investing more on properties rather than in branded items.
"Yun ang gusto namin ni Ronnie, 'yung may goal. Hindi kami mahilig sa mga luxury na ganyan. ...Tapos hindi ako mahilig bumili ng luho, wala. Mas property dapat, investment," said Andalio, who said that her designer bags were just given to her.
Aside from the resorts, Andalio is also the owner of a skincare brand Byfina.
Currently, Andalio is part of the upcoming horror movie "Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins," which is an official entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.
