Ugu is an accountant by profession but years ago, he studied pottery.

It took him 14 years to built his enclave. He kept apologizing that it’s mainit because they lost 8 big mango trees to typhoon Glenda.
The place is nice, except that my body was sweating. It was so hot.

There’s an open lanai that serves as his pottery gallery, where you can buy his one of a kind masterpieces.
