00:00Happy National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day!
00:12What do you think?
00:13This is a small business run by a family,
00:16and it's usually built in one place.
00:19Do you want a sample?
00:21Here are some of the businesses we ran this Saturday.
00:25In Bukawe, Bulacan, Buko with Ice Cream Serve,
00:28in Buko Shell, the new dish, Kinalo Lokohan.
00:32It's so yummy.
00:33The combination of buko and ice cream is just right.
00:36The seasoning is just right.
00:38It's a delicious combination.
00:39Koko Loko hit social media through vloggers.
00:43It had a huge impact.
00:45We have regular customers coming from Manila.
00:51Cooked at affordable prices.
00:54Anytime they're hungry, they're available 24 hours a day.
00:58Why are you eating here?
01:00It's a hungry house.
01:01Hungry house.
01:02Are you going to change?
01:03Yes, what do you want to eat?
01:04Ice cream, tapioca, and pilaf.
01:06Here in Lomi, it's delicious.
01:0810 out of 10.
01:09This was a small canteen before.
01:11We started with this size.
01:13When we opened that day,
01:14we had a goal of 5,000 to 8,000.
01:18We didn't think we'd reach 15,000.
01:24You can now buy diamonds.
01:26For real, not just a glass.
01:28It's worth it.
01:30Diamonds are girls' best friend.
01:34Let me see your hands.
01:37You're really working hard.
01:39There are customers who want to sell.
01:42They don't have a home.
01:43They can come here to live sell.
01:45How much do you sell?
01:46Net per month is 7 digits.
01:52That's all.
01:53That's all for Pera Paraan.
01:57If Abi Marquez's Lumpia Queen
02:00is ice cream coated with mochi dough,
02:03Manuel Olazo's food content creator
02:05is french fries with ice cream.
02:09Sisling ice cream with caramel bar
02:11and special gravy
02:13is what vlogger Jeyza Recinto sold.
02:18But in Bukawe, Bulacan,
02:20Buko has an ice cream serve.
02:22In Buko Shell,
02:23there's a new twist.
02:32MJ and his wife
02:34brought their version of coconut ice cream
02:37from Boracay.
02:39Actually, it started way back in 2023.
02:42My wife and I went to Boracay.
02:44We saw the concept of Coco Loco.
02:47Coconut shells are ice cream.
02:49We tried to do a franchise,
02:51but they're not open for franchise.
02:53So we said,
02:55if that's the case,
02:58let's make our own concept here in Bulacan.
03:04MJ didn't expect
03:05that people who love different foods
03:07from different places
03:09would support them in their business.
03:13It's a very rewarding feeling
03:15that you're making money
03:16and at the same time,
03:17you're helping the environment.
03:19One of the advocacy of Coco Loco
03:21is to at least help
03:23to help lessen our waste.
03:28MJ started selling coconut ice cream online.
03:32They sold 10 buko,
03:33or equivalent to 20 orders.
03:37We thought of building a physical store
03:39because we saw that people accept it.
03:42We want our market reach to be wider.
03:46We want more people to try Coco Loco.
03:50MJ has a direct supplier of buko and ice cream.
03:53But because it's seasonal
03:54or it depends on the season of the ice cream business,
03:57there's a chance that their sales will go down.
04:01Since we're serving ice cream,
04:03the weather is a big factor.
04:05When it rains,
04:06our sales go down.
04:09That's why we decided
04:10that we need to partner with online delivery apps.
04:14Even though their ice cream shop is located in the same location,
04:17they also made some changes.
04:19Our location is an open area
04:22so that you can feel that you're at the beach.
04:25We put a detachable tent
04:27so that even when it rains,
04:28you can still eat here in our store.
04:32MJ and his ex-wife are both
04:35Information Technology graduates.
04:37When you work,
04:39it's different to have a business.
04:41Yes, it's hard,
04:42but the business is very rewarding
04:45if you do it right.
04:47The best thing for me in the business
04:49is to be able to help others
04:51to have a better life.
04:56In Bukawe, Bulacan,
04:57buko with ice cream is served
04:59in Buko Shell itself,
05:00the newly added loco.
05:03We have a saying,
05:05if you want it, you have to work hard.
05:08What's overload?
05:09Let's start overloading, Mommy Sue.
05:12How much is the buko?
05:13Just the right amount.
05:14Of course, I love buko.
05:16And then, ice cream.
05:17Ice cream.
05:18Wow, wow.
05:20And then,
05:22coca-cola.
05:23That's how you win.
05:24After that,
05:25we can put our sprinkles.
05:28We have rice krispies.
05:30Okay.
05:31And pinipig.
05:32Marshmallow.
05:33We also have that.
05:34Mango first.
05:35Mango.
05:36And then, this is our yogurt.
05:38Just a little.
05:39Just a little.
05:40Yes.
05:41And then, almonds.
05:42Sprinkles of sprinkles.
05:45And then,
05:46we'll just add caramel.
05:48Okay, okay.
05:49Condensed.
05:50Condensed.
05:52This is okay.
05:53There.
05:54Thank you, MJ,
05:55for my fries.
05:56I'll mix it so that the buko
05:58goes to the top.
06:01Their flavors complement each other.
06:03It's delicious.
06:04This is just right for cooling down the heat.
06:06It's so yummy.
06:07It's perfect for the weather right now.
06:09The combination of buko and ice cream is just right.
06:13It's okay for me
06:14because it's not messy.
06:16And the pinipig is delicious.
06:19Its flavor is just right.
06:20It's not too sweet.
06:22Its combination is delicious.
06:23There's buko.
06:24There's ice cream.
06:26The Buko Ice Cream
06:28is from P89.00,
06:30the regular serving.
06:31Wedding with Maya.
06:33P89.00,
06:34the regular serving.
06:35Wedding with Mango,
06:36for only P99.00.
06:38P129.00,
06:40if the ube is full.
06:42Mango Greyham at overload.
06:44Coco Bear is also available
06:46for only P49.00,
06:48while the pure buko juice is P40.00.
06:50You can add toppings
06:52from P5.00 to P15.00,
06:54while it's P20.00
06:55for the extra scoop of ice cream.
06:58MJ was able to get back
07:01within 2 weeks.
07:03Every summer,
07:04their daily income is higher
07:06from P60.00 to P80.00,
07:10which is equivalent to
07:11P80.00 to P150.00 per day.
07:14P30.000 to P50.000
07:16for the regular days.
07:18For those who want to enter
07:19the coco business,
07:21MJ has a tip for you.
07:23What we do here
07:25is we just tap the buko.
07:27We'll know if it has a content
07:29or we call it malauhog,
07:31malakanin, and pangsalad.
07:33If the buko has no content,
07:37it means the buko is malauhog.
07:39If it's just right,
07:41that's malakanin or just right.
07:44If there's no sound,
07:46that's our pangsalad
07:48or the buko has a thick content.
07:51Because of their business,
07:53MJ was able to access life
07:55and was able to provide
07:57for the needs of their family.
07:59Coco Locos became popular
08:01on social media through vloggers.
08:03It had a huge impact.
08:05We have regular customers
08:07coming from Manila
08:09just to try Coco Locos.
08:13MJ already has a motorbike,
08:15and their shop and house
08:17will also be renovated.
08:18Don't be afraid to try.
08:21For example, we want Coco Locos
08:23to have experience in Bulacan.
08:24We need to bring Coco Locos
08:25to Bulacan.
08:27Even if we're not sure
08:29if this will work or not,
08:31we risk it.
08:36Even if it's just a simple cold,
08:37if it's accompanied by a cool drink,
08:40it's not just a sweet treat,
08:42but also a refreshing refreshment.
08:47It's a low-to-buy, affordable price.
08:49Anytime you're hungry,
08:51they're available 24 hours a day.
08:53That's why this food in Quezon City
08:55is recommended by home-cooked lovers.
09:06Every afternoon,
09:08this is the scene
09:09in this cafeteria
09:10along Summer Street
09:12in Triangle, Quezon City.
09:16It's only open for more than a year,
09:18but it's already a blockbuster movie.
09:23Their vendors are always coming back.
09:27The vendors here
09:30are home-cooked.
09:34Even the name of the store
09:35comes from their house.
09:38Before we started this,
09:40we made about 10 names.
09:44Then when we were about to print it,
09:46my son suddenly came out.
09:48Mommy, why do you have so many businesses?
09:50I don't have a name.
09:52So I told him,
09:53give me a name that rhymes with your name.
09:57So he gave us Loox.
10:01Before their business started,
10:03they went to nearby restaurants
10:05to learn about other businesses.
10:09They started with short-orders
10:11like Silog, Pancit, and Lomi.
10:14To make a profit,
10:15they swiped a credit card.
10:17Estimated is around P300,000,
10:20including the renovations,
10:22the construction,
10:23and the supplies.
10:25The things that will be sold
10:27for those who will cook.
10:28Because this was a small canteen before.
10:31So we started with that small.
10:33With the hopes that it's okay,
10:34as long as there's food.
10:36We started,
10:37that we are also human.
10:39On the first day,
10:40they were surprised by their profit.
10:42When we opened that day,
10:44we made a profit of P5,000 to P8,000.
10:48We didn't expect
10:49that we will make P15,000 that day.
10:52What became the star dish of their canteen
10:55was authentic Lomi Batangas
10:57that was not spoiled
10:59and guaranteed to make you full.
11:02Here in Lomi, it's delicious.
11:0310 out of 10.
11:04It's delicious,
11:05and there's a lot of avocado,
11:08a lot of toppings.
11:09They watch our vlogs.
11:11So someone is vlogging with us
11:12that we don't know about.
11:14So people are adding to it.
11:16In just three months,
11:18they were able to get their profits back.
11:20That's why they also upgraded their stores.
11:23They now eat home-cooked food
11:26like grilled fish,
11:28squid,
11:29and barbecue.
11:30If it's a home-cooked dish,
11:31it should have beef,
11:33curry,
11:34and boiled pork
11:35with hot soup.
11:38The small meal for 30 people
11:42can now feed up to 200 people.
11:45And the ambience of the place
11:47feels like you're in your own home.
11:50It feels very homey.
11:52We made it different
11:54so that when people enter,
11:56they feel comfortable.
11:58Our staff are smiling.
12:01They're approachable.
12:03And when they sit at each table,
12:05their experience is different.
12:08Because their food is open 24 hours,
12:11they're open to comments and suggestions.
12:14Last week,
12:16our customers requested
12:18why don't we make it open 24 hours?
12:20After three months,
12:21we decided to make it open 24 hours.
12:24We just tried it.
12:25And it was open 24 hours.
12:27For P50,
12:28you can have a snack,
12:30lunch,
12:31or dinner
12:32of a real home-cooked dish.
12:34If you have a budget of P150,
12:37you'll be able to satisfy your hunger.
12:39What do you eat here?
12:41Home-cooked dishes.
12:43Do you pay for it?
12:44Yes, ma'am.
12:45What do you eat?
12:46A lot of dishes.
12:47Diyempo,
12:48gilataan,
12:49tilapia.
12:50Why do you eat here?
12:51Because it's a home-cooked dish.
12:53Excuse me, girls.
12:54Careful.
12:55Careful.
12:56Careful.
12:57Oh, there's a lot of people.
12:58F**k, Jimmy.
13:00There's a lot of people.
13:01I can see where they're eating.
13:08A lot of dishes.
13:09I'm getting hungry.
13:11This is Kuya.
13:13I'm JM.
13:14There's a lot of dishes.
13:15There's barbeque,
13:16beef,
13:18pork steak.
13:20What's this?
13:21Adobong tagalog.
13:22When you say adobong tagalog,
13:23do you have adobong bisaya?
13:25Ask her.
13:26This is fried chicken,
13:28gilataang tilapia,
13:29and stir-fried chayote.
13:30There, JM.
13:31Yes, ma'am.
13:32There's a lot of people.
13:36It's embarrassing.
13:37Because it's lunchtime,
13:39there's a lot of people here.
13:40Actually,
13:41this place expanded.
13:42Before, it was just outside.
13:44Now, they bought the whole summer.
13:48You know, especially in the afternoons,
13:49this is it.
13:50You can't go anywhere else.
13:51Right?
13:52I really order here.
13:54That's right.
13:56I also choose my food here.
13:58Because sometimes,
13:59when you don't have time to cook,
14:00it's delicious here.
14:01There's a lot of different dishes.
14:02So, you really have choices.
14:06Are you open 24 hours?
14:07Yes.
14:08We only have one shift.
14:09Then, we're open 24 hours.
14:10Oh, my God.
14:11Can you see that?
14:12We're open every...
14:13Every day?
14:14Monday to Saturday.
14:15Sunday?
14:16Day of.
14:17They're also open on Sundays.
14:18Because there's no...
14:19It's a family day.
14:20Then, what you offer here,
14:22your food,
14:23your dishes,
14:24are also for the masses.
14:26Yes, ma'am.
14:27We see that there are a lot of buildings here.
14:29Yes.
14:30There are condos.
14:31Oh, those that don't cook anymore.
14:32There are companies.
14:33There's no house for cooking.
14:36So,
14:37that's what we're thinking,
14:38let's add more.
14:39We'll just add more.
14:40So, for those who want to do business like this,
14:42what tips can you give to GM?
14:44Business is a risk.
14:46Yes.
14:47So, what you can always do
14:49is to lessen that risk.
14:51So, you need to...
14:52Study it well.
14:53Study it.
14:54Who's your market?
14:56Are you going to buy anything
14:58that you're going to sell
14:59or whatever business you're going to do?
15:01Along with their success in their business,
15:03they also got a lot of jobs.
15:06There's a saying,
15:07a businessman does not open a business.
15:11It's the people who opens the business.
15:15That's why we here,
15:17our people,
15:18suddenly increased
15:19and that's all.
15:20We treat them as a family.
15:24Most of the time,
15:25the business we're thinking about
15:26is different or not the same.
15:29But if you think about it well,
15:30it seems like there's a better chance
15:32to succeed in the businesses
15:35is when it's tried and tested.
15:37As long as the quality of the product is leveled up,
15:40you won't get tired of it
15:41and you'll come back to it.
15:48If there's a forever,
15:50diamonds will prove it.
15:52As the song goes,
15:53Diamonds are forever,
15:55forever, forever.
15:58Diamonds are hard and strong
16:00just like it lasts forever.
16:04But you don't need to be impressed
16:06by the price of a diamond now.
16:08You can already buy a diamond.
16:11The one that's for real,
16:12not just a glass.
16:13It's worth it.
16:16Wow!
16:17Diamonds are girls' best friend.
16:20Diamonds are girls' best friend.
16:22Diamonds are girls' best friend.
16:34This is not it.
16:35What's this?
16:37I feel like I'm really accessing it
16:39when I'm wearing these diamonds.
16:42Uh huh.
16:44It's like the Earth is here.
16:51But it's not for me, okay?
16:53These are the diamonds that Charo sells.
16:56Hikaw, necklaces, bracelets,
16:59bells,
17:00all kinds of natural diamonds.
17:03Natural diamonds,
17:05or the ones that are really made in the ground,
17:06are what most of them sell.
17:09They also have glove-grown diamonds
17:11or the ones that are made in the laboratory.
17:14The Bentayra diamonds that Charo sells
17:17have a lower price in terms of market value.
17:21There.
17:22My heart is with Ms. Charo.
17:24Let me see your hands.
17:27You're really taking care of it.
17:29What's the cheapest one here?
17:30We still have the cheapest one.
17:32What's the cheapest one?
17:331,997.
17:34Do you want it?
17:37What is this?
17:38A stud.
17:39It's so small.
17:40This stud
17:41can be used for baby,
17:43second piercing,
17:44or third piercing.
17:45The setting is also 18 carats.
17:47This is our collection of 3, 9, and 8.
17:50It's an illusion of a cushion.
17:52It's like you have a 1 carat total face.
17:54That's 3,998.
17:56It's a combination of round cut and brilliant cut.
17:59There's white gold and yellow gold.
18:02For the bells,
18:03there's one that's worth 7,997 pesos.
18:09For those who want to have bells
18:11that have a tight budget,
18:13that's the best.
18:14For those who want a bell that's curved and has a bell,
18:17this is heart-shaped.
18:18It's curved and has a bell.
18:20It's an illusion.
18:21At first glance,
18:22this is a heart-shaped cut.
18:25But that's a round brilliant cut.
18:27How much is this bell?
18:29The curved one is 3,998.
18:31And then?
18:323,998.
18:33The bell is 6,998.
18:36But there's a diamond on it.
18:37Yes, that's a natural diamond.
18:39It's also set at 18 carats.
18:41It's also wind-certified.
18:43It's also free shipping.
18:44This is amazing.
18:46I can't believe it.
18:47Is this for real?
18:50There are a lot of people who don't believe in us.
18:53Actually, when we sell online,
18:56someone told us
18:57that we sell silver.
18:59That we sell glassware.
19:01But of course, they'll check it.
19:02Yes.
19:03That's why we have our showroom.
19:05So those who buy online from us,
19:07they can come here.
19:09I said, it's normal for you to have doubts.
19:11Of course, especially now.
19:12Yes, the market value is very high.
19:14So I said, you can go here.
19:16You can bring your own tester.
19:18You can test here.
19:20Before Charo's success in her business,
19:23she also struggled with poverty.
19:26I'm not a rich person.
19:29I'm not the daughter of a rich person.
19:31I'm from the province.
19:33Our parents raised us in agriculture.
19:36I finished school.
19:38Then I went to Manila.
19:41I worked here for 15 years.
19:44Charo's success in being an agricultural engineer,
19:48businesswoman, and businesswoman
19:50is not a small number.
19:52Other people ask me,
19:54how did it happen that I was an engineer
19:58in an international company of machinery
20:01and I went to the luxury of glassware.
20:04So the difference is huge.
20:07She started selling glassware during the pandemic
20:10When I was locked up at home,
20:12Charo looked for someone to talk to.
20:15I saw people who sell live.
20:17I said, let me try.
20:19I was happy because when I was selling live,
20:22someone was watching me and I had someone to talk to.
20:25I was selling my personal belongings.
20:29My personal bags, my used bags.
20:32In Charo's big-time business,
20:34do you believe that she didn't make any money?
20:37We really didn't make any money.
20:39When I started selling live,
20:41someone contacted me.
20:43He said he would send me different varieties of alahas,
20:46natural diamonds, for me to sell online.
20:48I said, okay.
20:50But I started doubting.
20:52I was thinking, is this real?
20:54Because the amount is so high.
20:56So I dropped him because I really didn't have money.
21:00Charo's success in selling alahas
21:03and paying the supplier.
21:05That's when her career started to take off
21:08in becoming a live seller of alahas.
21:12After almost 5 years of selling alahas,
21:15a lot of things changed in Charo's life.
21:17She was able to go to her house,
21:19her cars,
21:20my son,
21:21we studied in private schools,
21:24all her needs.
21:26And then even traveling abroad,
21:28we were able to do it.
21:29Because before, never.
21:31You prioritize your daily expenses.
21:35As she ascended in the business,
21:37Charo wouldn't leave.
21:39She was with her many, many people.
21:42There were almost 100 employees and 50 resellers.
21:46Here in our showroom,
21:48there are resellers,
21:50there are customers who want to sell.
21:53They have no income, zero.
21:55They can come here to sell live.
21:57Whatever they sell,
21:58whatever their customers buy,
22:00that's what they will buy from us.
22:02If we pay them,
22:03they will also pay us.
22:04So from there,
22:05I want to help them.
22:07There are people who are mothers,
22:09who have no income,
22:10who want to start.
22:12They can come here to us.
22:15Even though she has a lot of fun now
22:16in running the business,
22:18Charo is still facing live selling
22:20twice a week.
22:23This is one carat, one carat.
22:26And Charo is still challenging me to do live selling.
22:29You say,
22:30Charo,
22:31this is me.
22:32Oh my, this is like 8 carat, 8 carat.
22:35Hello, madam, sir.
22:37Are you new?
22:38Madam,
22:40tell me, sir.
22:42Here are your mini, mini,
22:45alahas.
22:46This is
22:47natural diamond.
22:49Natural diamond.
22:50One carat.
22:51That's one carat.
22:52Can you see it on the side?
22:56She's just poking it.
22:57Free shipping in the Philippines,
22:59only.
23:03But my question to everyone is,
23:05how can they sell their diamonds
23:07at a lower price?
23:09How can you sell it at a lower price?
23:11First, what we do is,
23:13I produce a lot
23:15so that I can get it at a lower price.
23:17Yes, because I'm thinking,
23:19how can you sell it at a lower price
23:21while when you say diamond,
23:23it's like, oh, when you say, oh,
23:24natural diamond.
23:25My system is,
23:27I want it to sell fast.
23:29I want it to come back to me fast.
23:31But,
23:32it's small,
23:33the pot is very small.
23:35How much is it?
23:36Actually,
23:37net per month is
23:39around 7 digits.
23:41In life,
23:42everything has its hardships.
23:44But if you have a hard time,
23:47learn from it.
23:48Fix what you did wrong.
23:50Improve what you should do.
23:54Just like a diamond,
23:55it needs to go through a lot of processes
23:58before it slaps and looks good.
24:00When you do business,
24:02it doesn't come fast.
24:04You also need to overcome the trials
24:07to forget the real pain
24:09of the hardship.
24:13Most of the well-known businesses in our country
24:16started from a small business.
24:18Like an ice cream parlor back then.
24:21It's one of the most popular fast food chains now.
24:24The old shoe stores back then.
24:27Now,
24:28malls are growing in different parts of the country.
24:32So, don't rush.
24:33Because your dream business
24:35can come true little by little.
24:38So, before lunch,
24:39let's talk about business ideas.
24:42And always remember,
24:43it's just money,
24:44you can do it.
24:46Join us every Saturday at 11.15 in the morning
24:49on GMA.
24:50I'm your host, Susan Enriquez.
