00:00Pastil sa Kalasyaw, Pangasinan, Dinarayo!
00:08Not only because of its deliciousness, but also because of the story of the success of the business.
00:13No need for covertos because our food trip for today's video is not a burger, but rice and vegetables all-in-one.
00:25The trending Pastil is also available in Kalasyaw, Pangasinan.
00:30Delicious! Delicious!
00:31Not only can Chan satisfy his hunger, his business partner will also satisfy their hunger.
00:38Because of its 500 pesos profit, this Pastil has a profit of 100,000 pesos.
00:43One, one!
00:46They will share the good vibes story of Pastil here in Good News.
00:51In 2022, Michael and Grace started their business.
01:00Michael is working as an IT specialist while Grace is selling food.
01:08My wife is looking for an alternative way of earning money.
01:13In 2022, Pastil in Quiapo became a hot topic.
01:19We thought that it's possible because it's only 15 pesos.
01:22We both can afford it.
01:24Because of that, Grace was also searched online for how to cook Pastil.
01:30And after a few trials, she found that her Pastil recipe is perfect.
01:36Our problem is, how are we going to sell it?
01:39The solution she came up with was to give an assignment to her younger sibling.
01:45I asked her, do you want to bring Pastil?
01:48Just sell it to your classmates.
01:49She said, it's okay.
01:52So she brought 5 pieces of Pastil.
01:54All 5 pieces were sold out.
01:56I told her to sell it again tomorrow.
01:57It was a pre-order.
01:59So the next day, she already had a sure order of 10 pieces.
02:04Pastil is still looking for a solution for her younger sibling.
02:09They came up with the idea of DIYing their own cart.
02:13I painted it.
02:14My husband did the layout.
02:17The couple was eager to sell their products in their area.
02:2140 pieces of Pastil and no one noticed us.
02:25Now, when one or two customers tasted it,
02:28they repeated it for 30 minutes and the 40 pieces were sold out.
02:32Their Pastil with Rice is light in weight.
02:36It's only 15 pesos.
02:38Literally, it's on the go.
02:40That's why you can refill it.
02:43You can choose the flavor.
02:46There's Regular Pastil,
02:47Spicy Pastil,
02:49and Sweet and Spicy Pastil.
02:51These are really appetizing for budgetarians,
02:55especially for students.
02:58Especially if you don't have a refill and you're saving,
03:00you'll be full if you order two.
03:02It's really good and it's only 15 pesos.
03:06That's the goal of the couple.
03:09To make their Pastil affordable,
03:12especially for students.
03:14Grace can relate to students who are saving.
03:19Her father grew up without her,
03:21while her mother is working abroad.
03:24That's why she's bound to school.
03:27If I didn't decide to come to the city,
03:31I don't know what would've happened.
03:34That's how we are now.
03:36That's why when she started her business,
03:37even if the price of other foods is increasing,
03:41her Pastil is still 15 pesos.
03:44Even if it's cheap to sell,
03:46she's able to make up for it with her quick income.
03:50That's why from one,
03:51there are 8 carts going around in Pangasinan.
03:56From a production house that used to be a small and empty tent,
04:01now, it's cemented and there are employees already.
04:07Here, you can see them making Pastil from scratch.
04:11From just 5 pieces back then,
04:14to 5,000 Pastils every day now.
04:18The 500 pesos that were spent on the business back then,
04:22is now earning up to 75,000 pesos every day.
04:27And the good news is,
04:29aside from the salary,
04:31for every Pastil that is sold,
04:33Peso Rito goes to their seller.
04:36So that our business partners can feel that
04:40they can feel that our business is also their business.
04:44You're already paid, you still have a commission,
04:46just like father Ramir.
04:49I used to earn a lot of money in one day,
04:51around 1,700 pesos.
04:53This kind of discount,
04:54is helping father Ramir a lot.
04:57For the kids,
04:58it's a budget for the house.
05:00Because back then,
05:01I was only getting 5,000 pesos.
05:02That's why I didn't give up.
05:06I worked hard to earn more money.
05:09Even Grace's dream of opening a canteen,
05:12was achieved because of Pastil.
05:15And who's in charge of this?
05:16Guess who?
05:18Her mother,
05:19of the former OFW.
05:21After working abroad for almost 30 years,
05:25Teresita's mother,
05:27was able to send Grace home here in the Philippines.
05:30And she's the one who will give back
05:33to her mother's hard work for them.
05:36I'm very proud,
05:37because I saw how hard she worked,
05:41no matter what she did.
05:43She helped her parents,
05:44and even helped her cousins.
05:47All thanks to Pastil.
05:50It's still far, but it's very far.
05:52I'm free Pastil!
05:54So for today's video,
05:55Grace and Michael will bring good news
05:59to students and barangays
06:01who are interested in their business.
06:04Kapuso, free Pastil for everyone!
06:07Thank you very much!
06:09Thank you very much!
06:11Thank you for everyone!
06:13Line up, line up!
06:15Thank you!
06:17Thank you!
06:19Hashtag solved!
06:21Just like Pastil,
06:23Grace and Michael,
06:25different flavors of their lives,
06:27were worth it!
06:29Because every trial,
06:31I mean,
06:33trial, became a way
06:35for their life and business
06:37to be a success!
06:41We'll take care of the good vibes
06:43here on Good News!
06:45Good evening,
06:47I'm Vicky Morales.
06:49It's noticeable
06:51on the rocks,
06:53favorite snack,
06:55what could this be?
06:57An old man
06:59sleeping on the road,
07:01was hit by a car.
07:03A child
07:05drowned in the river,
07:07and to the rescue,
07:09a member
07:11of the Marine Corps.
07:21What if someone else
07:23was the victim?
07:25Will you take care of him?
07:27Or will you leave him alone?
07:29In this CCTV footage,
07:31a man was caught
07:33sleeping on the side
07:35of the road.
07:37Later on,
07:39he saw a tricycle
07:41passing by the camera.
07:47But later on,
07:49it backed off
07:51and stood in front
07:53of the sleeping man.
07:57It simply
07:59looked around.
08:03And as it approached
08:05the sleeping man
08:09his pocket was opened.
08:11Until he reached
08:13the real bag,
08:15the wallet
08:17of the victim.
08:29In the town of Pavia, Iloilo,
08:31Good News reported that
08:33the victim who was caught
08:35in the CCTV footage
08:37was the 48-year-old dishwasher,
08:39Rodrigo.
08:41I used to be a dishwasher.
08:43Now, I work
08:45in a small restaurant.
08:47Dishwasher.
08:49He claims that
08:51he uses his own dishwasher
08:53in Pama Masada.
08:55It's just that
08:57it's broken.
08:59So in order to replace it,
09:01Rodrigo is willing
09:03to work as a dishwasher
09:05in Pama Masada.
09:13But the more than P5,000
09:15in his wallet, which he saved
09:17for months to buy
09:19a sidecar,
09:21is now gone.
09:31I saved it
09:33so that I can buy a new one.
09:35But what if
09:37it happens right in front of you?
09:39What will be your reaction?
09:41That is the
09:43end of our experiment.
09:47In this row of tricycles,
09:49the first scene
09:51will take place.
09:53For example,
09:55our target is Lindsay.
09:57For example,
09:59our target is Donato
10:01who is sleeping
10:03on a chair.
10:05Our experiment's target
10:07are these
10:09tricycle drivers.
10:11Let's roll
10:13the good news camera.
10:17The drivers in the row
10:19are also excited.
10:21Let's roll the bad news camera.
10:27Until
10:29our target
10:31gets the tricycle.
10:33In this
10:35scene,
10:37it looks like
10:39our targets are already
10:41in danger.
10:43In the second roll of the camera,
10:45we are in a diner.
10:47The scene here is that
10:49the customers
10:51are eating here.
10:55Lights, camera, action!
10:59The victim is sitting
11:01while the
11:03victim is chewing
11:07until Donato
11:09stands up to get some water.
11:19When the victim
11:21returns to
11:23his seat,
11:25his cell phone
11:27is gone.
11:29Ma'am,
11:31your cell phone
11:33is not here.
11:35I left my cell phone here.
11:37Give me some water.
11:39The customers
11:41also joined in the conversation.
11:43The victim is eating
11:45while the victim
11:47is chewing.
11:53It's time
11:55to reveal the camera.
11:57This is a special experiment
11:59for the victim.
12:01To see his cell phone
12:03and recover it,
12:05he should ask us
12:07when he got it.
12:09It's hard to buy a cell phone
12:11because it's expensive.
12:15For the last scene,
12:17the Good News team
12:19went around
12:21until Target Lock.
12:23This man is selling bananas.
12:25We rolled the camera.
12:27Are you okay?
12:29I'm a bit sleepy.
12:33I didn't get what I expected.
12:41The victim
12:43approached Target.
12:49The victim
12:51was sleeping
12:53in his bag.
12:55Sir,
12:57what should we do?
12:59Sir,
13:01what should we do?
13:05I don't know what to do.
13:07Let's go home.
13:09The victims
13:11were in action.
13:15Are you okay?
13:17It's just a social experiment.
13:19I'm sorry.
13:21It's just a social experiment
13:23from Good News.
13:25So that he can get his money back.
13:27He's working hard
13:29and his father
13:31lost his money.
13:33It's not a big deal.
13:35Thank you
13:37for your concern.
13:39Meanwhile,
13:41there's no formal complaint
13:43filed against the suspect
13:45who took money from Rodrigo.
13:47Based on the investigation,
13:49he's not a resident
13:51of the barangay.
13:53Is that why
13:55Rodrigo called the man
13:57who took his money?
13:59I don't know what to do.
14:01I don't know what to do.
14:03I don't know what to do.
14:05I'm asking for help.
14:07I have no money.
14:09I don't know what to do.
14:11I don't know
14:13what to do.
14:15I don't know
14:17what to do.
14:19I don't know
14:21what to do.
14:23I don't know
14:25what to do.
14:27Even if Rodrigo wasn't able to
14:29return the stolen money,
14:31Good News will return
14:33so that it can help you save money.
14:36Thank you, Ma'am Nikki, for the help you gave me.
14:39I was able to buy this padlock.
14:45Remember, dear ones, don't take what's not ours.
14:51Because small or big value,
14:54every five,
14:57people are struggling.
14:59What is this snack that can be seen on the rocks and is people's favorite snack?
15:10They say that the Filipino Salon is not complete if there is no snack on the table.
15:17But what about this snack? Have you already tasted it?
15:20Do you believe that these are not pancit, but a type of seafood that is just pulled from the sea?
15:32We met the fisherman Rudney from Oriental Laway, Bohol.
15:37They say that their life here is simple.
15:39Their daily life is also in the sea.
15:43The life that I grew up with was not easy.
15:47Because I am the stepfather of my siblings and I help my mother for our family.
15:55I started fishing when I was in grade 2 or grade 3.
15:59Sometimes I was absent because I was busy.
16:01So that I can really help my mother so that we can have food.
16:04Aside from the usual catch,
16:07his target is also the rich sea, this is called lokot or pancit-pancitan in other places.
16:13Rudney was just a kid when he got used to eating this.
16:18In the morning, when the low tide is high,
16:21my cousins go to coastal areas to catch lokot.
16:26I also want to learn how to do it.
16:28So I learn how to do it.
16:30This is popular in their area, especially when it is low tide.
16:34It is just pulled from the rocks and grass of the sea.
16:38This is so delicious.
16:41In its sweet and salty taste, it is said to be similar to the taste of seaweed.
16:46When we catch a lot, we go to a faraway place.
16:52We replace our lokot with banana, ube, gabe, or kamuteng kahoy.
16:58Because the lokot farmers also like it.
17:02That's why they don't just eat the lokot on the table,
17:05they also earn from it or give it to their neighbors.
17:11When I come home from the sea, especially when I go around a lot,
17:14I give it to our neighbors, especially the old people.
17:18They really like it because it is sweet.
17:20These snails came from a type of sea slug called donzol or sea hare in English,
17:28which is the offspring of sea snails and octopuses.
17:30The color of the lokot is usually green,
17:33because it is said that the donzol favorite food is mussels and seagrass in water.
17:38But what is the lokot that they produce in the body?
17:42According to the story of the old people, this is called donzol.
17:46When I researched, the lokot is the egg of the donzol.
17:50These sea hares usually lay eggs in the rocks.
17:54They also lay seaweeds, but they are collected by humans.
17:59It's yellow or sometimes a little orange.
18:02It's like strands of pancit.
18:05It's not dirt, but the thousands of eggs of the donzol.
18:10It is eaten in different places,
18:12but experts remind us to clean it thoroughly.
18:16Just like the lokot, the donzol also releases ink,
18:21which can be harmful to humans when eaten.
18:22Usually, it is put in vinegar or it is put in salt to dilute it.
18:27But I would refrain people to eat the sea hares themselves.
18:33Because of the large number of eggs in a lokot,
18:36many of them do not live and become donzol.
18:40Meanwhile, the lokot is already part of Rudney's body.
18:44He has three children who are trying to study with the help of the sea.
18:48I have a son who is studying at school.
18:50I don't have enough income.
18:53They don't catch fish every day,
18:56so eating lokot is a big help to their family.
19:00There are times when you can't catch fish.
19:03When I come to Pangpang, I will look for lokot
19:06so that I can bring it home to my family, even just for a meal.
19:10In fact, they learn different dishes of lokot
19:15because they often eat it at the table.
19:16Their favorite dish is gisado,
19:19sinabawan, and kinilaw na lokot.
19:22And since Rudney has already caught a lot of fish,
19:25he will eat three lokot recipes.
19:28It's like he is prepared.
19:30When cooking tinolang isda,
19:33they just mix the lokot like this.
19:36There, our fish is cooked.
19:38The next thing I will put here is our lokot.
19:46It can also be made with vinegar.
19:51When cooking gisado ng lokot,
19:54they just mix it with ricados,
19:57garlic, onion, bell pepper, long pepper, and other flavors.
20:02There, our onion and garlic are already cooked.
20:06The next thing we will put is lokot.
20:11The next thing we will put is lokot.
20:22Mmm, this is okay.
20:25Lokot dishes can now be partied.
20:31It's like a tinolang chicken with a mix of sotanghon.
20:37It's delicious.
20:38And the party in the province will not be complete
20:42Madam Rose, I would like to give you a dish.
20:46if the neighbors will not try it.
20:52Wow, it's delicious. The taste of the lokot.
20:55Wow, taste it.
21:00Wow, it's really good.
21:03Whatever we eat, as long as we have lokot, it's the most delicious and the best.
21:07As they say, the sea is wide.
21:10That's why we are also eager for its blessings.
21:13Maybe you don't know,
21:15what you are going through in Pampang,
21:18you can already take advantage of it.
21:21This is okay.
21:23Quiet,
21:25peaceful,
21:30and paradise in beauty.
21:37This is how I will depict the famous Madlum River in San Miguel, Bulacan.
21:43But this past week, the river went viral on social media
21:48because of an incident.
21:51The child in this video,
21:54who is almost dead,
21:56was forced to be saved by two men,
21:59who just passed by the river.
22:02The child was saved
22:04from the clutches of death.
22:07Viral video,
22:09a child drowned in the Madlum River
22:12and the grandfather,
22:14a sailor.
22:21The story of the child,
22:23who is almost dead,
22:25is the story of Chuy.
22:28There was a birthday celebration for their family.
22:31So from Batangas,
22:33they went to Bulacan,
22:35where Chuy's family lives.
22:38And that's where they decided to go to the Madlum River.
22:42That day, the sun was beautiful.
22:45It was hot,
22:47so the child took a bath.
22:49It was just below the river.
22:54That's why his 10-year-old niece,
22:57enjoys playing in the river.
23:00The kids were just playing.
23:02There were only two of them.
23:04Now, they are a bit far away.
23:06The story of the witness,
23:08Annalyn,
23:10is that the child was just in a raft
23:12and was playing in the wind.
23:14The raft,
23:16if there's a lot of water in it,
23:18it will move.
23:20Later,
23:21the child was trapped in the raft.
23:26And suddenly,
23:28it was like a bubble.
23:30The child was trapped in the raft.
23:32That's why he couldn't get out of the raft.
23:34That's when he drank a lot of water.
23:38This game,
23:40was given to Chuy's disappearance.
23:43What I did,
23:45I didn't think twice.
23:47I jumped and looked for the child,
23:49so I could see him.
23:51He fell to my feet.
23:53I took out the water,
23:55and I threw him to the river.
23:57When I found the child,
23:59I picked him up right away.
24:01Joyrie's family,
24:03seemed to be drowning in fear,
24:05when Joyrie,
24:07seemed to lose his pulse.
24:17At the brink of death,
24:19there was good news,
24:21that suddenly appeared.
24:25Two marines,
24:27happened to be in the area,
24:30and were able to breathe.
24:32We were able to cross the Madlum River,
24:35because we prepared a surveillance,
24:38in that area,
24:40where the troops can patrol.
24:42I asked for help,
24:44to revive the child.
24:46When they saw what happened,
24:47they immediately jumped,
24:49to the drowning child.
24:51He lost consciousness.
24:53We made him lie down,
24:55on a table,
24:57to give him first aid,
24:59or CPR,
25:02to revive the child.
25:05And like a scene from a movie,
25:07the following happened.
25:09At that time,
25:11the child,
25:13when I picked him up from the water,
25:15he was gone.
25:17Maybe it was a long time,
25:19maybe 15 or 20 minutes,
25:21that he was pumped.
25:23It was sudden.
25:25What if,
25:27my child is in that situation?
25:29That's what motivated me.
25:31And suddenly,
25:33there was a heartbeat.
25:35When I saw that his hands were shaking,
25:37he breathed,
25:39that's when I felt,
25:41I said,
25:43I felt like,
25:45I was happy,
25:47that the child was really fighting,
25:49that he was really in a fight.
25:51The family of the child,
25:53had no idea what was happening.
25:56The best thing is,
25:58when he arrived at the hospital,
26:00they didn't let him go right away.
26:02But now,
26:05every day,
26:07the child is responding,
26:09from a good recovery.
26:11Just this Tuesday,
26:13Joyree was released from the hospital,
26:15and now,
26:17of course, it's happy,
26:19because it's a new life for the child.
26:22That's why we are thankful to the soldiers,
26:25who were ready to help right away.
26:27That's how fast,
26:29the child's response was.
26:31Because aside from the family,
26:33they were also inspired,
26:35to help the Filipino people.
26:37Especially in their profession,
26:39helping others is common.
26:42In their few years in the service,
26:44they were able to help a few people.
26:47They are called,
26:49the fallen of heaven.
26:51Meanwhile, Joyree's mother,
26:53owes a lot to the new soldiers.
26:57That's why she sent a message to the two,
27:00as a thank you.
27:02Thank you so much to the two soldiers,
27:04who helped my son.
27:06If not for them,
27:08my son wouldn't be here today.
27:10Thank you so much to both of them.
27:12Joyree, do your best.
27:14Always listen to your parents.
27:15Study hard.
27:17You never know,
27:19maybe the next day,
27:21you'll be one of the soldiers.
27:23Officials of the barangay also remind,
27:25that they are not yet reopening,
27:27the Madlum River to the public.
27:29And they encourage the people,
27:31to follow this.
27:33Like Najistony and JP,
27:35who are the heart and inspiration of HATID.
27:38Are you ready to spread,
27:40the good news to your fellowmen?
27:46I hope we were able to spread,
27:48the good vibes to you,
