00:00If Abi Marquez, the legendary Lumpiak Queen,
00:03tried Ice Cream Coated with Mochi Dough,
00:06Manuel Olazo, the food content creator,
00:09tried French Fries with Ice Cream,
00:13Sizzling Ice Cream with Caramel Bar,
00:15and Special Gravy,
00:17was served by vlogger Jeyza Recinto.
00:22But in Bukawe, Bulacan,
00:24Buko has Ice Cream Served.
00:25In Buko Shell itself,
00:27the newly added Lokohan.
00:30Bukawe, Bulacan
00:36MJ and his wife
00:38brought their version of Coconut Ice Cream from Boracay to Bulacan.
00:43Actually, it started way back in 2023.
00:46My wife and I went to Boracay.
00:48We saw the concept of Coco Loko,
00:51Ice Cream in a Coconut Shell.
00:53We tried to do a franchise,
00:55but they weren't open for franchise.
00:57So we said,
00:58okay, if that's the case,
01:01let's just make our own concept here in Bulacan.
01:07MJ didn't expect that
01:09those who are fond of different foods
01:11from different places
01:13will help them in their business.
01:17It's a very rewarding feeling
01:19that you're making money
01:20and at the same time,
01:21you're helping the environment.
01:23One of the advocacy of Coco Loko
01:25is to at least help
01:27to help lessen our waste.
01:32MJ started selling Coconut Ice Cream online.
01:36They sold 10 buko, or 20 orders.
01:40We decided to build a physical store
01:43because we saw that people are accepting.
01:46We want our market to be more wide.
01:51More people can try Coco Loko.
01:54MJ has a direct supplier of buko and ice cream.
01:57But because it's seasonal
01:58or it depends on the time of the ice cream business,
02:01there's a chance that their sales will go down.
02:05Since we're serving ice cream,
02:07the weather is a big factor.
02:09When it rains,
02:11our sales go down.
02:13That's why we decided
02:14that we need to partner with online delivery apps.
02:18Even in their ice cream shop's location,
02:21they made some changes.
02:23In our location,
02:25it's an open area
02:26so you can feel like you're on a beach.
02:29We put a detachable tent
02:31so that even when it rains,
02:32you can still eat here in our store.
02:35MJ and his ex-wife
02:38are both Information Technology graduates.
02:41When you work,
02:43it's different when you have a business.
02:44Yes, it's hard,
02:46but the business is very rewarding
02:49if you do it right.
02:50The best thing for me in business
02:52is to be able to help others
02:55find a way to make a living.
03:00In Bukawe, Bulacan,
03:01buko with ice cream is served
03:03in Buko Shell,
03:04the newly-opened shop.
03:07We have a saying,
03:09if you want something, you have to work hard.
03:11What is it? Overload?
03:13Let's start with your overload, Mommy Sue.
03:15How much is the buko?
03:17Just the right amount.
03:18Of course, I love buko.
03:20And then, ice cream.
03:22Wow, wow, there you go.
03:25And then, coca-cola.
03:26So that's how you win.
03:28After that,
03:29we can now choose our sprinkles.
03:32We have rice krispies.
03:34Okay, and pinipig.
03:36Marshmallow, we also have that.
03:38Mango first, mango.
03:39And then, this is our yogurt.
03:42Just a little.
03:43Just like that?
03:44Yes.
03:44And then, almonds.
03:46Sprinkles of sprinkles.
03:49And then, we'll just add caramel.
03:52Okay, okay.
03:53It's condensed.
03:54It's condensed.
03:56This is okay.
03:57There, thank you, MJ.
03:59This is my prize.
04:00I'll mix it so that the buko goes to the top.
04:05Their flavors complement each other.
04:07It's delicious.
04:08It's just right to get rid of the heat.
04:13It's so yummy.
04:14It's perfect for the weather right now.
04:16The combination of buko and ice cream is just right.
04:20It's okay for me because it's not messy.
04:23And the pinipig is delicious.
04:26The flavor is just right.
04:27It's not too sweet.
04:29It's a delicious combination.
04:30There's buko.
04:31There's ice cream.
04:33The crazy buko ice cream.
04:36The regular serving is from Php89.
04:39Wedding with mango for only Php99.
04:42Php129 if the ube is full.
04:46Mango grey ham at overload.
04:48Coco bear is also available for only Php49.
04:51While Php40 is for the pure buko juice.
04:54They want to add toppings from Php5 to Php15.
04:57While Php20 is for the extra scoop of ice cream.
05:01MJ was able to get back the Php5,000 that she earned
05:05within two weeks.
05:07Every summer, they earn more than Php60,000 to Php80,000
05:13which is equivalent to Php80,000 to Php150 per day.
05:17Php30,000 to Php50,000 per day.
05:21For those who want to join Coco Negosyo,
05:24MJ has a tip for you.
05:26What we do here is we just pound the buko.
05:30We will know if it has a filling or what we call malauhog,
05:35malakanin, and for salad.
05:37If the sound of the buko is like it has no filling inside,
05:41it means that the buko is malauhog.
05:44If it's just the right amount, it's malakanin or just the right amount.
05:48If there's no sound, that's our salad or the buko has a thick filling.
05:55Because of their cold business, MJ was able to access life
05:59and was able to provide the needs of their family.
06:03Coco Locos hit the social media through vloggers.
06:07It had a huge impact.
06:09We have regular customers coming from Manila
06:13just to try Coco Locos.
06:16MJ already has a motorbike,
06:18and their shop and house will be renovated.
06:21Don't be afraid to try.
06:24For example, we want Coco Locos to experience Tagabulakan,
06:27so we need to bring Coco Locos here to Bulacan.
06:30Even if we're not sure if this will work or not,
06:34we risk it.
06:40Even if it's just a simple cold,
06:42when it's accompanied by a cool drink,
06:44it's not only a sweet blessing,
06:46but also a refreshing refreshment in life.
