00:00 Many believe that the ancient or ancestors bring luck and are able to avoid the bad.
00:10 But now, many people are going to Quiapo, Manila to buy this.
00:18 That is the surprise of Bian Manalo.
00:23 Part of the Filipino culture and tradition is the belief in the ancient or ancestors.
00:30 And Quiapo Church in Manila is one of the places where you can see the majority of the ancient or ancestors.
00:39 Aside from the church in Quiapo, many Filipinos believe and buy the ancient.
00:48 Some of our fellow Filipinos are losing hope.
00:54 And many of the ancient or ancestors believe that they can give luck.
01:00 Aside from the church in Quiapo, the ancient or ancestors are spreading their lies.
01:07 Contradictions and lies for luck.
01:10 Contradictions for envy, envy, envy, and disgrace in traveling.
01:17 There are also things to give luck in business, career, and love.
01:23 At a young age, Mike Anthony Ricoletano was inspired to sell the ancient in Quiapo.
01:30 And when his father died, he was the one who followed his step.
01:34 That is, even in modern times, many still worship the ancient.
01:41 Most of them came from far provinces and traveled to Quiapo to buy these.
01:49 It's a bit of a sale. It depends on the branches.
01:53 When people come to collect the medals, they come here to Quiapo.
01:58 I limit it to other places.
02:00 For example, provinces, sometimes Iloilo, Batangas, Isabela.
02:07 Our branches buy different things.
02:11 They come here during Holy Week.
02:14 And when they come here, they buy a lot.
02:16 Marietta Terona has been using the ancient for almost five decades.
02:21 She says she passed it on to her parents.
02:24 She believes that these bring good things to her family and business.
02:31 We are born in the Reynon. We have to have something to fight against.
02:37 It's not bad. It's also good luck for our sales.
02:43 It's good luck for bad spirits.
02:47 It's good for your business, your wallet, so you're away from misfortune.
02:54 That's all.
02:55 And now, Marietta believes that this is the time when the vices of the ancient like her are stronger.
03:05 She also wants to pass these on to her grandchildren.
03:09 How can we bring back the things we have?
03:12 It's necessary.
03:14 Against the provinces, they will bring it back.
03:17 We need to have something like this.
03:20 Even if you put it in your wallet, in your coin purse, it's good.
03:25 So we all believe in that.
03:28 So that they are away from misfortune.
03:31 Because sometimes, they go to different places.
03:35 Even to grandchildren, it's okay.
03:37 But for Mark Anthony, the ancient are just a guide.
03:41 The firm faith and commitment to the Almighty is still important.
03:47 It's up to them if they want to believe or not.
03:49 If you don't believe in one thing you bought, don't buy it.
03:53 Because there's no other.
03:55 But if you believe in one thing you bought, you'll have life.
03:58 First of all, you should believe in God.
04:00 Because this is a medallion, it's St. Benedict the Holy Father.
04:02 This one, it's not a bad medallion.
04:05 You're just doing it as a guide in your journey, in your business.
04:10 For example, you're away from business, your business is down.
04:15 He gave you life to grow.
04:17 You're the one who's giving life to your business.
04:19 Even though the Church has given faith to some of the ancients,
04:25 they still have the freedom to make decisions based on their faith.
04:30 Because the Church's teaching is clear about faith in God.
