Public servant Jeff Crisostomo's work has brought him into the quiet beachside life of Dinagat Islands, away from the familiar hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. Bringing with him the happy memories of the now defunct Quezon City bar Seventy 7, he creates his own cozy space inspired by its dim lights and warm colors, finding his own place in the province he has grown to love.

Kakaibahay is Real Living’s newest web mini-series that features unique homes with unique stories. From urban mansions to seaside cottages, we will walk beyond the threshold of aesthetics into the personal histories of those who live in them. Each week, we will have homeowners take us through their spaces, going down memory lane as we highlight favorite corners, interesting furniture, and sentimental pieces that culminate into a biography of building, adapting, and settling in.

Watch out for a new episode every Friday at 7:00 p.m. on RealLiving.com.ph and YouTube/Real Living Philippines, and every Saturday at 7 p.m. on Real Living’s Facebook page.
