00:00 Here in Taguig City, Hopia is one of the most popular products in the city.
00:05 Of course, we will accept that.
00:08 Our tour guide is none other than Radson himself.
00:12 Let's ball in!
00:15 Come on, let's taste Hopia here.
00:19 In this branch, they make around 5,000 to 8,000 boxes of Hopia a day.
00:25 This is Miss Susan.
00:27 This is where it starts?
00:28 This is what we call crust.
00:30 After mixing in the mixing area,
00:34 they make the crust and put it in our encrusting machine or also known as bread forming machine.
00:40 It's already filled.
00:42 This is also where Hopia is cut so that it's ready to be cooked.
00:47 This is the repacking area, Radso?
00:49 Yes, this is the repacking area.
00:50 Wow! It's raining Hopia here.
00:52 You can see our colorful Hopias.
00:54 How many flavors of Hopia do you have?
00:57 A lot.
00:58 Do you have a favorite flavor of Hopia?
01:01 Before, my favorite flavor of Hopia was Ube.
01:05 But now, since the business has ventured into different flavors of Hopia,
01:10 What's your favorite?
01:11 Pastillas is my favorite.
01:13 It's one of the best sellers of Hopia.
01:16 You're my soulmate.
01:17 In 2019, Radson was the first person to be seen on television in Star Trek Season 7.
01:23 You have a business with a lot of potential to grow.
01:28 Not only in the tag gig, you can also expand.
01:32 Why did you become an artist?
01:34 Because you look like an artist.
01:36 I'm not.
01:37 Who wants to be an artist?
01:39 Me too, partly.
01:40 Really?
01:41 But my aunt pushed me to audition.
01:44 Radson's family has been selling Hopia for 36 years.
01:49 The foundation of Tipas is our connection as a family of Flores.
01:55 My grandparents are 11 siblings.
02:02 We all still live here in a barangay.
02:05 Your family is intact.
02:06 It's really super intact.
02:07 The original queen of Tipas Hopia in their family is none other than 94-year-old Inang Belen.
02:14 And until now, she still likes to visit the store.
02:19 You're the one who made Hopia popular in the Philippines.
02:21 Yes.
02:23 I remember when they said Hopia, I only heard Tipas.
02:29 I started with a bakery, pandesal.
02:35 I saved a lot of money and I sold bread.
02:39 I was only 8 years old when I got married.
02:45 I was patient, I was looking for a job.
02:48 I was saving money.
02:50 I got my sewing skills from the bakery.
02:53 I started with a bakery.
02:55 I know it was in 1965.
02:59 Inang Belen's goal was to give her own bakery to her 11 children.
03:04 Whenever my children get married, I will give them land, bakery, and other things.
03:12 I will teach them first.
03:15 When they learn, I will leave and I will stay in Cuba.
03:22 Whenever they get married, I will give them a place to live.
03:26 I am Alicia Flores Santa Ana, the daughter of Inang Belen.
03:33 We are 11 siblings.
03:36 My mother gave us all a bakery.
03:40 She said, "We will operate one day."
03:43 We will take care of improving our products and expanding our network.
03:50 This is the original bread.
03:53 My mother gave this to me.
03:56 I will teach them the reason why their Hopia has more flavors.
04:00 From their original mungo flavor,
04:02 some of their newest flavors,
04:05 milk tea pastillas,
04:07 cotton candy,
04:09 and many more.
04:10 They sell this from P23 to P70 depending on the flavor.
04:15 We have 13 branches of bakery.
04:18 For this establishment alone,
04:21 the minimum income would be P50,000 a month.
04:25 It ranges from P50,000 to P100,000 and more.
04:29 They say that even if their products are affordable,
04:33 they can still compete with authentic Chinese Hopia.
04:38 Our markup is not that big.
04:40 We have a market called ABCD.
04:43 If we raise our price,
04:46 others can't afford it.
04:48 We are also thinking of ways to help our fellow Filipinos.
04:53 If life is hard,
04:56 especially now, when rice is expensive,
04:58 one box of Hopia alone is enough to fill you up.
05:01 That is our main purpose,
05:03 why we are selling our products at a low price.
05:07 Let's go back to Hopia Prince, Radson.
05:10 Let's see how well he knows their products.
05:14 I always challenge him, but you are doing it now.
05:17 The challenge for Radson is that he needs to guess the flavor of Hopia in front of him.
05:22 But he only uses his sense of smell.
05:25 I hope you know the flavors, Radson.
05:28 You really have a strategy.
05:32 Ube.
05:36 The easiest one,
05:38 there's a color.
05:40 This is the milk tea.
05:44 Is it right?
05:46 It's like a macchiato.
05:50 That's why it smells like coffee.
05:52 Oh my, Radson.
05:54 You might get fat.
05:56 Oh my God.
06:00 Can you eat it?
06:04 I'm not the owner of this.
06:05 Cheese pastillas.
06:08 He uses his sense of smell.
06:13 Don't be shy, you can do it.
06:17 This is Yema.
06:19 I hope.
06:21 What is that?
06:25 Pastillas.
06:29 This is the real pastillas.
06:31 This is your favorite.
06:33 Anyway, you didn't get it perfect.
06:35 Because there are a lot of flavors, Radson can't memorize the flavors of their Hopia.
06:42 But of course, all of them are delicious.
06:45 And it's delicious to taste the flavors of their Hopia.
06:48 Radson is not the winner of our challenge, but their OG Hopia is the winner.
06:54 Because it's only known that it's exported to other countries.
06:58 It's only limited countries, but we plan to saturate the global market with Tipa's Hopia.
07:05 Hopia is sometimes food, sometimes people.
07:09 But if we're talking about dreams, it can also be Hopia.
07:13 Okay?
07:15 It's accompanied by hard work and determination, you will surely reach far.
