LORETO, ENGRACIA & SIMEONA (L.E.S.) Private Farm is more than just a place — it is a living testament to resilience, heritage, and unwavering determination. Founded by a descendant who proudly carries the name of his ancestors, the farm represents a heartfelt journey to reclaim and honor the land that rightfully belongs to his family.
Despite facing significant challenges and discrimination from within his own family, the founder remained steadfast in his mission. With the unwavering support of his late grandfather, Mayor Loreto "Etong" Laqui, his grandmother Engracia "Nanay Ise" Laqui, and especially his grandmother Simeona "Tia" Laqui — affectionately known as the Old Maiden — he overcame obstacles to bring this vision to life.
Most recently, the founder endured a painful betrayal by relatives he once chose to help during their difficult times. Though one pretended to offer support, it was a hidden plan to undermine and take away everything carefully built and planned. Yet, in the midst of this hardship, someone special came into his life and provided the help and strength he needed. She is now his wife, a true partner in both life and vision.
Today, L.E.S. Private Farm stands as a tribute to enduring belief, love, and perseverance. It embodies not only the founder’s personal journey but also a legacy of commitment to honoring the past and nurturing a healthier, more connected future — strengthened by the power of partnership and unwavering resolve.
