<p>John Prats shared that his family started to venture into the resort business after his wedding.</p><p>When his family built what is Nayomi Sanctuary Resort in Batangas today, it was first intended as the venue for his wedding. They then thought of renting it out as a resort following John&#x27;s union with Isabelle Oli.</p><p>&quot;Dapat resthouse lang talaga &#x27;to nung ikakasal na ako. Minadali ng dad ko itayo &#x27;yung apat na villas kasi gusto niya dito ako ikasal,&quot; John relayed in an interview with Bernadette Sembrano.</p><p>He went on: &quot;Ta&#x27;s after nung wedding, sabi ko, &#x27;Dad, why don&#x27;t we share the experience that we had, ta&#x27;s i-open natin, gawin nating resort.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>The actor highlighted that his parents&#x27; journey as entrepreneurs was never easy.</p><div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pyImLsrydGc" title="ANG SIKRETO SA MARAMING NEGOSYO NINA JOHN PRATS! | Bernadette Sembrano" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&quot;It was a tough journey for them also. Nung nakikita namin &#x27;yun, naaalala ko ngayon na ang hirap pala &#x27;yung pinagdaanan nila,&quot; he recalled.</p><p>He further shared: &quot;We were trying to look for a new negosyo aside from us being an artista and my dad is trying to look for ano ba &#x27;yung purpose niya.&quot;</p><p>John remarked that what he learned from managing their business was to always be courageous to try.</p><p>&quot;Don&#x27;t be scared to try kasi mas masakit &#x27;yung &#x27;di mo ni-try. &#x27;Yung inisip mo lang ta&#x27;s &#x27;di mo sinubukan, &#x27;yun &#x27;yung failure. But &#x27;yung approach na laban nang laban lang even with concerts when I direct,&quot; he said.</p><p>The actor further highlighted: &quot;Minsan iniisip ko parang imposible pero when I push myself and nangyari siya, wow. Pero kung hindi at least I tried.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C575SiLyInL/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=450&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A1348095.0999999046%2C%22ls%22%3A993177.0999999046%2C%22le%22%3A993512.0999999046%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="854" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Aside from entrepreneurship, John has also been busy being a director of various concerts and television projects.</p><p>It was in 2018 when he started directing with Moira dela Torre&#x27;s &quot;Tagpuan&quot; concert.</p><p>&quot;When I did Moira’s ‘Tagpuan,’ I didn’t know what I was doing. Everything was my instinct, my vision, what I wanted to do. But there were people like Cynthia [Roque] of Cornerstone who guided me and gave me the right people to execute my vision,&quot; he recalled in a past interview with ABS-CBN News.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/18/john-prats-and-isabel-oli-s-eldest-daughter-feather-turns-8-1517"><strong>READ: John Prats and Isabel Oli’s eldest daughter, Feather, turns 8</strong></a></div><p>He added: &quot;It was more than directing a concert. It’s like building a relationship with your artists. Being a friend to them. My advantage was I was in the industry. I was also a performer. So I know how it feels to be a performer.&quot;</p><p>John bagged his first project as a television director in 2021 to 2022 in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><em><strong>Ang Probinsyano</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong>.</em></p><p>&quot;When I was directing the scenes, I even edited.
