Siargao, Philippines — Andi Eigenmann and Philmar Alipayo are proud to share that their first business ventures, which they run separately, are thriving.
While you have good reasons to believe that popular personalities earn good money, it's not uncommon to see some of them run restaurants or own a makeup line. And you're probably a nurse who fantasizes about becoming an architect. You catch the drift. Two careers are better than one.
The happy islanders opened a surf school and a snack bar in the Surfing Capital of the Philippines, and it's been a fun and fulfilling experience. Because it's true what they say. Pushing yourself to new heights leaves you more, well, so much happier. And that's why Andi and Philmar just did it when the opportunity knocked on their door.
For how it started and how's it going, here's the happy couple. ♀️

00:00 [Music]
00:08 [Foreign Language]
00:25 Because they started that, Carding and Philmar, I also took my chance.
00:30 [Foreign Language]
00:43 So when Carding's wife, Wena, when she offered me the chance to be her partner sa snack bar,
00:51 I took it. [Foreign Language]
01:02 So we're not business partners, but we can easily still work together and support each other
01:08 since the two businesses are connected.
01:12 [Music]
01:16 We serve slushies. It's a refreshing tall glass for 150 pesos.
01:24 And then you just ask our snack bartenders for what fruits are fresh or in season at that time.
01:31 Right now, guayabano is our bestseller.
01:34 So the tourists and the locals alike like to go for the most exotic fruits that we have available.
01:43 And then other than that, we have coffee, hot and iced coffee.
01:49 We have panini. And we recently added a small selection of healthy breakfast items in our menu,
01:58 like the fruit bowl and smoothie.
02:00 [Music]
02:04 We initially wanted to go for easy baon type snacks.
02:08 It was my way also as an environmental advocate to promote biodegradable or eco-friendly packaging
02:16 if you want it for takeaway.
02:18 Naka-wrapped siya in banana leaves.
02:20 And then we offer a discount if you bring your own tumbler for the drinks.
02:24 [Music]
02:28 Sa ngayon, we carry kudosurf.
02:31 Yeah, so they have clothes and swimwear by Kudosurf in the shop.
02:35 And other brands also na we have farm to beach.
02:40 Yeah.
02:41 Like sunscreen, mga ganyan.
02:44 And then, your?
02:46 My brand.
02:48 Isa sa pinaka-dream ko is to have my own surf book, surf clothing.
02:55 Surf clothing, yeah.
02:56 Like sarili kong line na board shirt, t-shirt, or sandal, or rash guard.
03:02 This is also with the help of our great friends from Kudosurf.
03:06 And that's coming soon.
03:07 So, we'll be displaying that in the shop as well.
03:10 So, I'm excited.
03:11 [Music]
03:15 That's the beauty of our shops being sort of related and right beside each other.
03:22 Kasi kahit di kami business partners per se, pwede kami magpalitan.
03:28 We can take turns.
03:29 So, mas madali for me na to just be with the kids.
03:32 Tapos when, example, Philmar has to take Lilo to school or something, then I will be the one to stay there.
03:38 Pero more often than not, it's Philmar that's there.
03:42 And it's our neighborhood.
03:43 And it's by the beach.
03:45 So, me and the kids, yeah, we like to go with him.
03:48 And then, nagsiswimming lang kami.
03:50 We just hang out around the area while he's working.
03:54 [Music]
03:58 We're just starting.
03:59 We just started.
04:00 And so far, we're happy with how the snack bar and the surf shop has been doing.
04:06 But we only hope that we can go bigger from here.
04:11 Like, as a brand, parang in a way, we want to get this opportunity to introduce or share more of who we are.
04:22 Maybe lean towards sharing healthier recipes since me and Philmar are into fitness and health.
04:31 And we want to promote that also for other people.
04:35 Tapos for the shop, for your shop.
04:38 So, and then, also, it's Philmar's, been Philmar's, parang lifelong dream.
04:45 Sumula pang, sumula pagkabata ako, nang sumula nag-start ako ng surfing,
04:50 mgarap ko na talaga magagawa ng sarili kong brand.
04:53 Surf, surf clothing.
04:55 Surf clothing, yeah.
04:56 [Music]
05:00 So, the snack bar is open everyday except Tuesdays from 7am up until sunset.
05:07 And sa surf shop namin, nagpupukas kami ng 7am until 7pm.
05:14 Everyday?
05:15 Everyday, yeah.
05:16 So, surf place namin, it's 600 per hour because it's a surf school.
05:21 We make sure na we have our season certified instructors.
05:28 We have package also, like 3 days or 1 week, include na dun yung video analysis.
05:36 That's for the, ano talaga, aspiring surfers, mga parang ako.
05:40 Gusto talagang magpaturo sa mga professionals.
05:44 So, they have those 3 days, 7 days, and 2 week or 1 month packages.
05:50 You can just check it sa Kanawai Instagram.
05:54 Nandun na lahat yung mga rates namin.
05:57 In their highlights.
05:58 Yeah.
05:59 Ako yung naglagay.
06:00 You can also message us sa Instagram to book your surf lesson or a request for an instructor.
06:07 You can also request me, Phil Mar, and Karding.
06:12 We'd love to teach you also.
06:14 So guys, yes, it's been almost a year since Typhoon Odette.
06:24 And I'm so happy, we are so happy to say that Siargao is almost, you know, it's pretty much back to its beauty.
06:33 And never naman nawala yung pagka-paradise neto.
06:36 So if you do decide to come visit the island again,
06:39 I hope that you would come drop by Kanawai Surf Shop and Kanawai Snack Bar.
06:45 Say hello.
06:46 And we hope to see you here soon.
