00:00Here in Dubai, there are restaurants that are familiar to the taste of us Filipinos.
00:11Korean BBQ restaurant or Samgyupsal.
00:16Wow, it's a different kind.
00:17It's really tasty.
00:19One of the dinarayo here is owned by a Filipino.
00:24Let's go inside.
00:25The old Las Pinas City, which is owned by Jennifer, is now filling up with people from Dubai.
00:31Who would have thought that the restaurant owner, Jennifer, used to be a garbage collector.
00:39At the age of 5 years old, we used to collect garbage before going to school.
00:42That's how we make a living.
00:43How come since she became a garbage collector, Jennifer is now earning more than 16 million pesos a month?
00:53In the story of the garbage collector, let's find out.
01:05Jennifer used to live in Barong-Barong.
01:08There were 6 of us siblings in our house.
01:10We were very poor.
01:11We didn't have electricity.
01:15Jennifer's father was a carpenter.
01:17But he got sick.
01:19That's why her mother was only able to earn enough to support her siblings.
01:27It was really painful because I was the only one earning a living.
01:32I really wanted to eat bread, but I couldn't.
01:35I experienced poverty in school.
01:37I would see other students, their shoes were white.
01:40While I was naked.
01:42There was envy and sadness.
01:45Why do they have that? Why don't we have that?
01:48Because of this, Jennifer became a garbage collector at a young age.
01:52At the age of 5 years old, we used to collect garbage before going to school.
02:00I don't look at the tiredness, the hardship, the weight, the hard days.
02:04What's important to me is that I have money that I didn't ask for from my mother.
02:09She said that she also experienced a little bit of laziness while collecting garbage.
02:14When we were at home, a drunk man came out.
02:16He said to me, let's go inside the room.
02:18I ran inside and cried.
02:22What's more painful is that not only did the garbage become a burden to her,
02:26but also to her own father.
02:28She was bullying us siblings for a little mistake.
02:31Do you think that bullying is love?
02:33To avoid their father's abuse, Jennifer entered the house.
02:39But this is not the end of her mischief.
02:42She was imprisoned by her boss.
02:45He forced me to sell my house. I took his money.
02:47I cried and cried.
02:49Even though we are poor, our mother didn't teach us to steal.
02:55When my father died, I told my mother that I will abroad.
02:59When she arrived in Dubai, Jennifer became a waitress.
03:02She entered any racket.
03:05She sold peanuts, rice, and makeup.
03:08Her clients are also our countrymen there.
03:11I saw the opportunity in Dubai.
03:13If you are hardworking, you will earn a lot.
03:17She also became a dealer of encyclopedia.
03:20This is where she became a client of her countryman, Rito.
03:23Later, he became a mister.
03:25I fell in love with him.
03:26We got married in Dubai. We lived in Dubai.
03:29Jennifer and Rito had three children.
03:32But their relationship ended when Riko lost his job.
03:37The more I work hard, the more I save.
03:40He is the one who earns.
03:41It hurts me because it's hard to earn money.
03:44Their defeat was physical.
03:47He took my phone. I was so scared.
03:52Jennifer was completely separated from her mister.
03:55And her children were left alone.
03:58Even until now, I still remember. It's hard.
04:00Do you know why they have a good life?
04:04Why do you have three jobs, but you still can't survive?
04:08You are still lacking.
04:13But at the time, she was the most depressed.
04:16She found a new companion in life,
04:20in the body of an American, Dog.
04:23I met Sir Dog with a common friend.
04:25He gave us a foresight.
04:27This woman is beautiful.
04:29I can see myself being with her for a long time.
04:32I can see myself just connecting with her.
04:34How we automatically just click.
04:36How we have the same likes.
04:37How we have the same desires.
04:39Had the same passion.
04:40Jennifer and Dog did not just rely on each other.
04:44Even in business.
04:46She worked so hard to support the kids.
04:48That's when we had the idea to come up with the restaurant.
04:51This was the perfect woman to join with.
04:53The business they thought of establishing,
04:56Korean Barbecue Restaurant or Samgyupsalan.
04:59Their Samgyupsalan,
05:01slowly became popular.
05:03Our customers always come from different places here in Abu Dhabi.
05:08I can't tell you.
05:09She's just like a friend,
05:11who's easy to get close to.
05:13In the past,
05:14Jennifer would only get the same amount of money
05:16for the whole day.
05:18Now,
05:19the income of her Samgyupsalan
05:21is only up to 16 million pesos
05:25every month.
05:26Awesome!
05:27It's hard to be poor.
05:29You're hungry,
05:30but you have nothing to eat.
05:31Now in Dubai,
05:32we have four restaurants.
05:34She worked so hard to move up to where she is right now.
05:37That's why the former resident of Barong-Barong
05:40now has her own house in Dubai.
05:44Jennifer also has her own properties in the Philippines.
05:48This three-story house in Pampanga
05:53is one of Jennifer's secrets
05:56on how to be practical in life.
06:00We don't buy things for our loved ones.
06:02Sometimes, we even fight.
06:04I'm proud of her.
06:05She's the only daughter
06:07who really put her life,
06:10her family,
06:11and her children first.
06:12I'm really proud of her
06:14because she really worked hard from the bottom
06:16and now she's at the top.
06:18I feel really blessed to have her as my mom.
06:20Not long ago,
06:21Jennifer and her dog
06:22went back to the Philippines.
06:24Welcome to Philippines!
06:26And one of Jennifer's visitors
06:28is her former residence in Las Pinas.
06:31This is where I grew up.
06:33This area is full of squatters.
06:37I remember
06:40how hard it was for us back then.
06:46There were moments when we needed
06:49to eat, but there was no food.
06:52This is a historic moment
06:54in our return.
07:00Jennifer is a restaurant owner.
07:02Let's go inside.
07:03She used to be a garbage collector.
07:05At the age of five years old,
07:06we used to collect garbage before going to school.
07:08That's how we made a living.
07:09How did she become a garbage collector?
07:12Jennifer now earns
07:14around P16 million a month.
07:19It's hard to be poor.
07:21You're hungry, but there's no food.
07:23Now in Dubai,
07:24we have four restaurants.
07:26Not long ago,
07:27Jennifer and her dog
07:28went back to the Philippines.
07:30Welcome to Philippines!
07:32And one of Jennifer's visitors
07:34is her former residence in Las Pinas.
07:37This is where I grew up.
07:39This area is full of squatters.
07:41That banana tree is our house.
07:51I remember how hard it was for us back then.
08:00There were moments when we needed to eat,
08:04but there was no food.
08:07I can't believe I went through that.
08:21Jennifer, who used to have no food,
08:24is now making snacks for the kids in the area.
08:28And because she values education,
08:32Jennifer was given a scholarship program
08:35for the kids who are with her in the church.
08:39Oh my love, thank you!
08:42I hope that this scholarship
08:44will help the students
08:46to study harder.
08:55Thank you so much.
08:57I want to buy this.
08:59I will study hard
09:01so that I will be able to buy this.
09:03Thank you!
09:11If you are a squatter now,
09:14I hope that the story of the trash can
09:17will serve as an inspiration
09:20to pull yourself up
09:22and move towards the life you dream of.
09:27I believe that
09:29you will persevere
09:31until you reach your goal.
09:33There will come a time when you will cry,
09:35not because you are in pain,
09:37but because you are full of blessings.
09:43Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
