This ambitious project was helmed by Ricardo Cano Gwapo Tan. The land for the resort had been bought by his wife. The conceptualisation and planning of the giant chicken took around six months, as per Guinness World Records (GWR). The construction began on 10 June 2023. By September 8, 2024, the completed building won the Guinness World Records title. The team had to take into consideration the fact that storms and typhoons are common in the region. The building would need to be able to withstand such conditions and its unique design proved to be challenging, according to GWR.
Ricardo Cano Gwapo Tan has explained why he chose a chicken as inspiration: "Negros Occidental has a gamefowl industry that employs millions of people in the Philippines. If you look at a rooster, it looks calm and commanding, imposing and strong which reflects the attitude of our people." He also told GWR, "I had a vision to make something with a wow factor that can really leave a footprint of admiration to the public."
Apart from the record-breaking chicken building, Campuestohan Highland Resort features a massive wave pool, a large restaurant, a cafe, three swimming pools, hotel rooms, Bonita huts, and hundreds of dinosaurs and cartoon figures, as per GWR.
