00:00There's a place in Munti where there's always a riot because there's always people.
00:06If you enter the place, you'll be caught, but you won't be jailed.
00:10You can get caught and the prices will go down.
00:14That's why there's always a discount.
00:17That's the gimmick in my father's warehouse.
00:25Nowadays, it's said that you can only buy 1,000 pesos.
00:29That's not enough.
00:31For 1,000 pesos, you can buy three meals. That's cheap.
00:35For 1,000 pesos, you can buy two meals for four people.
00:39If you know how to budget, it's a lot.
00:41If you want to buy delicious food, it's just a little.
00:44Well, I agree.
00:45The 1,000 pesos back then,
00:47you can buy simple ingredients for a simple meal at home.
00:53But what about now?
00:55Ms. Susan, I heard about your 1,000 pesos challenge.
01:00Don't worry.
01:01I'm sure you can do it.
01:05Spaghetti Pak for 120 pesos.
01:09Pinapay for 54 pesos.
01:11Fruit Cocktail for 84 pesos.
01:14Lanchon Meat for 88 pesos only.
01:17Pancit Bihon for 18.50 pesos each.
01:20Delata for 28 pesos each.
01:23Longganisa for 85 pesos.
01:25We also have Pork Tapa for only 80 pesos.
01:30The total that we will pay is 994 pesos.
01:34You still have 6 pesos left.
01:38Wow, it's heavy.
01:40That's why it's heavy.
01:41It has a lot of meat.
01:421,000 pesos.
01:43I still have money for a tricycle.
01:46This is a big deal.
01:48We can find a place where we can buy cheap.
01:51Okay.
01:52Tricycle, please.
01:54To my fellow Best in Budgeting,
01:56I'm sure you have an award in this store.
01:58Sometimes, we lose 5 pesos.
02:01My bill is now 12,000 pesos.
02:03In other grocery stores, it can reach up to 15,000 pesos.
02:08Who would have thought that in selling in the past,
02:11a grocery store can be built now?
02:13The bright idea of lowering the price of the store
02:16came from the former OFW in Kuwait, Alvin.
02:19Because I didn't have a job back then,
02:22I thought of selling.
02:24That's why I made a small carton.
02:27I placed it in front of the Municipality of Muntinlupa.
02:31I put face masks, alcohol,
02:33coffee, sugar, and a few cans.
02:37Alvin was inspired by the famous community pantry
02:40that has a purpose to help those in need.
02:43But because it's a business,
02:44you still have to earn money, of course.
02:46That's why he chose to place a small carton in each product.
02:50After 8 months of selling in the carton,
02:53Alvin now has his own place.
02:57My two-bedroom place,
02:59I filled it with groceries.
03:01They invited me to different places.
03:05They heard that my groceries are cheap.
03:07That's when I thought of getting a bigger place.
03:11This is now the store.
03:13Alvin's grocery store opened in 2022.
03:15It's better known as his father's store.
03:18There are stores where you can buy groceries.
03:21There are brands that are new to the pandemic,
03:24like food, toiletries, and other necessities.
03:28But don't worry,
03:30grocery stores are cheap,
03:31but their expiration date is still far away.
03:35First of all,
03:36why am I giving it a lower price
03:38compared to other stores?
03:40My overhead is really low.
03:42As you can see in our store,
03:44it doesn't have air-conditioning.
03:45I am directed to the big suppliers.
03:48The prices I get from them,
03:50the price I give them,
03:52they will also give me a lower price.
03:55In that margin,
03:56if I just grow small,
03:58it's okay for me.
03:59As long as I know that my store
04:02can be bought by anyone.
04:05If you ask if Alvin still earns money,
04:07he says yes.
04:09We just have a low supply of groceries
04:11in each store.
04:12If it's that fast to run out,
04:14I'm almost equal to those
04:16who have a big supply
04:18in each store they have.
04:20If we're talking about earning money,
04:22we earn a lot in business.
04:25I don't go down to six digits in a month.
04:28That's enough for me to sustain the store
04:31and my dreams that I want to achieve.
04:35Alvin's dreams are slowly coming true.
04:38I bought my own truck.
04:40I also added a place
04:43for our warehouse.
04:46I also fixed our small house.
04:49We fixed it.
04:50I also bought my dream car.
04:53It's good to give the fruits
04:55of our perseverance in the store.
04:57The flourishing blessings
04:59are also the fruits of Alvin's great blessings
05:01to others.
05:02Did you know that some of the staff in the store
05:04are PWD, senior citizens,
05:07and out-of-school youth?
05:09I want to give them a chance
05:11to feel what it's like
05:13to have a job.
05:15That's not all.
05:16Helping others
05:17is also extended
05:19through his business package.
05:21Every month, Alvin selects
05:23the lucky ones who will receive
05:25a free life package.
05:27He received more than P50.
05:31The business packages we give
05:34are mostly those who message
05:36on our Facebook page.
05:38Father, I have a sick child.
05:41I have a sick parent.
05:43I have a son who is living.
05:45I don't have a job.
05:47We met Robin,
05:49one of Alvin's helpers.
05:51I don't have a permanent job.
05:55My children are still sick.
05:57That's a big help for us.
05:59It's hard for a father
06:00to know that his child is sick
06:02and he doesn't have money
06:04for his daily medication.
06:06He needs a helping hand
06:09to help his child.
06:12When I read his message,
06:14I said I would give him
06:16a small store
06:18so he can help
06:20his two sick children.
06:23I hope he can help
06:25and help his family.
06:27Alvin immediately prepares
06:29a business package worth
06:31P15,000.
06:33I hope this business package
06:35can help you and your family.
06:38As a beginner in a small business,
06:41I hope this can help you
06:43in any way.
06:45It's a big help
06:47for our daily life.
06:49It's like a helping hand
06:51to our fellow Filipinos
06:53who need it.
06:55Not only fellow Filipinos,
06:57but also rescued Aspen and Puspin
06:59are also helped by Alvin.
07:01They have five shelters
07:03that provide dog food every month.
07:05Star in the Sky Shelter
07:07received 20 bags of dog food
07:09for their pets,
07:11dogs and cats.
07:13I'm very thankful.
07:15Especially when I hear
07:17that they are thankful to me.
07:19That's enough for me.
07:21To help others,
07:23you need to help yourself first.
07:25For those like Alvin
07:27who dreams of starting a business,
07:29our Negosyo Hero has some tips.
07:31It's not a joke
07:33to start a business.
07:35You just need to be
07:37brave,
07:39strong-willed,
07:41hardworking,
07:43and most of all,
07:45you need to be honest to your fellow Filipinos.
07:47You can't measure success
07:49in business,
07:51because what counts
07:53is your hard work and dream.
