00:00Do you know that it's only been 46 days and it's already Christmas?
00:11How many kilos do you need to catch up to Gratia?
00:14Here are some of the business that will hit the jackpot.
00:17Inain and Kakaibang Kakanin are famous even before.
00:21The Japanese came and it's viral until now.
00:24It's delicious. We have a lot of people here. Sometimes, it's empty.
00:27I'm the 3rd generation from my grandmother, my mother, and my father.
00:32Every night, we see the Aposo stars, David DeCalco, Alden Richards, Dennis Trillo, Barbie Morteza, and Sania Lopez in the GMA series, Pulang Araw.
00:46In this drama series, we will see how the life of the Filipinos during the period of Japan.
00:52Here in Cavite, we discovered a product that is present even before the period of Japan.
01:01This is Bibingkoy, a type of tea that is a type of Bibingka.
01:06This product is already 97 years old, Kapuso.
01:10But the in-demand here in the market, there's no cupas.
01:16This is my 6th time here. I always run out of it.
01:20Maybe it's really delicious.
01:22We run out of 8 to 10 cups a day. Sometimes, it reaches 1 hour and a half.
01:30What is the secret to a long-lasting business?
01:33Let's find out, Kapuso.
01:36Remember months? It's a must-have for us Filipinos.
01:40Kakanin.
01:41This morning, the challenge for me is, how well do I know my kakanin?
01:46So, Kapuso, in 30 seconds, how many kakanin can I guess?
01:54The kakanin will show me pictures, and I just need to give it a name.
01:58Join me in guessing, Kapuso.
02:01Are we ready?
02:04What is this?
02:06What is that? Is that rice? Ispasol?
02:08Okay. Sinukmani.
02:11Suman.
02:12The one with chocolate.
02:15I don't know. Malagket.
02:16Pass.
02:18Bibingka.
02:19Suman sa Latik.
02:21Suman sa Liyapalitaw.
02:24Pichi-pichi.
02:26Suman sa Liyapalitaw.
02:29Pichi-pichi.
02:31Kuchintang.
02:32It has different colors.
02:34Putumbong.
02:35I got it right. I only guessed one.
02:38Suman sa what?
02:40Muron.
02:42Suman sa Muron.
02:43At least, I said Suman.
02:45Almost perfect.
02:47That's what happens when we're fond of kakanin.
02:50Now, let's go back to the mother of kakanin in Cavite, Bibingkoy.
02:57In 1927, Ms. Ika started selling bibingkoy.
03:01She passed it on to her daughter, Ms. Lolit.
03:04And now, Ms. Bernadette runs their shop.
03:10I'm the third generation, from my grandmother, my mother, and me.
03:14Bibingkoy is inspired by making bibingka.
03:19It's made from the top and the bottom.
03:22Then, it's mixed with tikoy.
03:24Tikoy is sticky, right?
03:25So, she matched bibingkoy with tikoy and bibingka.
03:31To make their famous bibingkoy,
03:33they first cook the filling of sweet mung bean.
03:37When it's cold, they just roll it.
03:41The homemade kakanin is ready for the tikoy.
03:45They put oil on the banana leaves so that the bibingkoy won't stick to it.
03:53On their kakanin, they wrap the rolled mung bean
03:56and put it one by one on the banana leaves.
04:02Next, they prepare the baga to cover the bibingkoy.
04:06To cook it, it needs fire at the bottom and top.
04:11After 20 to 30 minutes, the bibingkoy is cooked.
04:15But wait, there's more.
04:17Because it's best served with their special ginataan sauce.
04:23One serving of this has four pieces of bibingkoy
04:25topped with toppings of ginataan.
04:28One plate of this is only 50 pesos.
04:34This is delicious.
04:35A lot of people come here to eat this.
04:37Sometimes, it's sold out.
04:40We found out that you can order online.
04:43Ta-da!
04:44Let's try it!
04:47These toppings are like ginataan bilo-bilo.
04:51There.
04:52Can you see how thick it is?
04:53They put it on top of the food.
04:56This is really popular in Cavite City.
04:59Let's try our bibingkoy.
05:03The name is cute.
05:04Bibingkoy.
05:08It tastes like bilo-bilo.
05:10It's like I'm eating buchi with mung bean filling.
05:13It's like I'm not eating palitaw.
05:15It's like I'm not eating calamansi.
05:17It's heavy, but it's delicious.
05:22They start cooking the bibingkoy at 11 p.m.
05:26so that it can be sold in the market at 6 a.m.
05:29No matter how early they start selling it,
05:32Ate Bernadette started her business at the same time.
05:36I've been helping them since I was in elementary school.
05:40I'm a big grandma.
05:41Now, when it's early in the morning,
05:43I'll wake up and ask,
05:45why is it like that?
05:46Why do I have to do this?
05:49When Ate Bernadette started her business,
05:51she faced a lot of problems.
05:54Sometimes, you can't leave.
05:57This is the service of Ms. Lolit and Ms. Ika.
06:00But they said that we maintained the taste.
06:04As is.
06:05It's not new.
06:08But the advantage of running a business is that
06:11you already know them.
06:12You just have to maintain what they started.
06:18To keep up with the new times,
06:20they entered the world of social media.
06:23Other bloggers also visited Ms. Ika's Karenderya.
06:27That's why their customers are increasing.
06:30Ms. Ika's business is really thriving.
06:36One time, someone came here.
06:38He said that he's from Mindoro.
06:40There's a tab here,
06:42so I'll ask someone to deliver it.
06:44He's really nice.
06:47Can we get a tab, even if we have to pay triple?
06:52I said, I'm sorry,
06:53but we can't because there's an owner.
06:56Then he said,
06:57please talk to the owner
06:59if we can get a tab.
07:02I said, I'll get it.
07:04You know, when I gave him the tab,
07:06I cried.
07:07Because he had a different feeling.
07:09His urge of happiness
07:12when he got a tab,
07:14I felt a different happiness.
07:18From Cavite City,
07:19Ms. Ika's Bibingkoy has reached different parts of the world.
07:26It's really worldwide.
07:27You can't say that it's only local.
07:30When you go to other countries,
07:32it takes two days to preserve the sauce.
07:36The content is okay
07:40because the lifespan of the Bibingkoy is three to four days.
07:45Ms. Bernadette Naa is sure that
07:47she will take care of the legacy of her family.
07:50This has become an exchange for her business.
07:55We have a house and land.
07:58We bought a car.
08:00In their 97 years of selling,
08:02Ms. Bernadette Naa has an advice,
08:04it's really timeless.
08:07For those who want to do business,
08:08as long as you love the business,
08:10and you're hands-on,
08:12and you're fair to everyone,
08:13and you're transparent,
08:15you really need to do it with love.
08:17Everything will be successful.
08:24Looking for more income?
08:26It's already Christmas,
08:27and you're still doing business?
08:32It's the season to be jolly again, Kapuso.
08:36Of course, everyone has their own discount
08:38to save and spend well.
08:41Some are still joining the discounts.
08:45But the discount of James and Janine,
08:48who are newlyweds,
08:49instead of money or household goods,
08:51you can get ready-made and with lechon.
09:00In San Jose del Monte, Bulacan,
09:01there's a unique way to get to know the Bilao business.
09:04James and Janine are the talk of the town.
09:06The discounts are ready.
09:08We have a package, ma'am,
09:09a 3-in-1 package, ma'am,
09:10with freebies.
09:11There are 5 food trays,
09:13lechon, freebies, bopis, and lechon sauce.
09:16It's easier for the customers, ma'am.
09:19It's monthly.
09:20Then they can think about what they want.
09:24As a wife,
09:26you need 10 members
09:27to make a batch.
09:29You can get all the food packages.
09:32For now, ma'am,
09:33we have 10 slots open.
09:355 for the Bilao.
09:36Our number one policy
09:38is don't convert to cash.
09:39It's hard to handle that.
09:43For each batch,
09:44the bundle is 10 months to pay.
09:47If there's lechon,
09:48Janine's offer is 12 months to pay.
09:51Janine has a group chat online
09:53for each batch.
09:54This is where they talk about the process
09:56and the day of delivery.
09:58To join,
09:59Janine knows the full name of the member,
10:01address of the house,
10:03and cell phone number.
10:04They trust each other.
10:07Most of the time,
10:08those who join her group
10:10are the first ones to order the Bilao.
10:14It depends on the type of food bundles
10:16that Janine orders
10:17that will be dropped every month.
10:20I have food bundles in front of me.
10:22I can test my guessing skills
10:25on how many of these will be dropped every month.
10:28To get an idea,
10:30I need help,
10:32my dears.
10:33One piece a month is enough.
10:37Around 500?
10:39I have 3 food trays in front of me.
10:42Sweet Malabon,
10:43Puto,
10:44and this is Mico.
10:45500?
10:47Lower!
10:48300?
10:49Mine is expensive
10:50because this is 200 a month.
10:52If that's the case,
10:53I will prepare more.
10:58Actually, I think this is a Alimango.
11:02Oh no!
11:03It's lechon bread!
11:04I thought it was a Kambal na Alimango.
11:06But it's Matay Pasas.
11:08But in the package,
11:10Janine and James are married.
11:12You will get a real lechon.
11:17They give us choices
11:19on our menu.
11:21We also have food trays.
11:23385 monthly.
11:24That's 10 months to pay.
11:26We also have 200 monthly.
11:29That's 2,000 in total.
11:31That's 10 months to pay.
11:32We also have 1,200 monthly.
11:34Our last package is the 3-in-1,
11:37the lechon.
11:38They will make the lechon,
11:40as long as we agree on the cost.
11:44Before their marriage fell apart,
11:46they also went through a fall
11:48for their needs.
11:51Before,
11:52we really didn't have money.
11:53And we had a lot of debts.
11:54Now, I really tried
11:56to not live here.
11:59James and Janine
12:01tried to sell a lot.
12:03A lot of people liked our food style.
12:06Someone asked us
12:07if we also order food trays.
12:10And to make it more affordable,
12:12Janine decided to make it a business.
12:15A lot of people order
12:16and ask for it.
12:17Because our price is affordable.
12:20They don't like it,
12:21so they sell it to others.
12:23Aside from the business,
12:24the single tray orders
12:26didn't disappear.
12:27Most of the time,
12:28it was filled up
12:29to continue their business.
12:31In one package,
12:34we can sell 12,000 lechons.
12:37Some people order
12:38lechons from us,
12:40food packages.
12:42Even though the couple
12:43started as subscribers,
12:45they slowly turned it around.
12:47We posted it on Facebook,
12:49and it reached Valenzuela,
12:51Caloocan, Quezon City.
12:53It reached a lot of places.
12:55Their food bundles
12:56in Pahulugan
12:57also started earning.
12:59We earn monthly.
13:01In the first batch,
13:03we only earned 6,000 pesos.
13:05When I increased the batch,
13:08we earned 20,000 to 30,000 pesos
13:12monthly.
13:13It's clean.
13:14We were able to build
13:15our house.
13:18We built our own house.
13:20Today,
13:21their food bundle
13:22is bound to the
13:239th birthday of Bianca's daughter.
13:25She's a member of Pahulugan
13:26of the Lechon Food Bundles
13:27of the couple.
13:28It's a budget meal.
13:30Her offer is good.
13:31She's been in Pahulugan
13:32for 12 months.
13:34Bianca was invited
13:35to Pahulugan
13:36to fulfill
13:37one of her dreams.
13:39It was my first time
13:40to prepare my baby.
13:42It was relaxing.
13:44I was able to accomplish
13:46my childhood wish
13:47to have a lechon.
13:49I'm so happy
13:50to have a birthday.
13:51I'm so happy.
13:55James and Janine
13:56have just started.
13:57Their Pahulugan
13:58is already worth it.
14:00We are able to pay
14:01our other needs
14:03because of our business.
14:08And the discount
14:09to fulfill
14:10their business dream.
14:12It's hard work
14:13and faith.
14:15If you give up,
14:16fight for your dream.
14:20Business is like
14:21other dreams.
14:23Even if it's just a small step,
14:25it's important to make
14:26a lot of money
14:27to make it
14:28a reality.
14:34Do you also like
14:35the angelic look
14:36of Jillian Ward?
14:38And the wata vibe
14:39of Marielle Pamintuan?
14:41Fierce!

15:10to boost my confidence.
15:13Makeup artist,

15:15hairstylist,
15:16have you revealed yet?
15:17Just sit back
15:18and relax
15:19because here they are!
15:28From the studio,
15:29makeup,
15:30wardrobe,
15:31camera,
15:32and set up,
15:33the imagination
15:34with the magic of touch
15:35of 26-year-old
15:36Haji
15:39and 27-year-old
15:40lover,
15:41Lenny.
15:42I started being
15:43a makeup artist
15:44when I was in high school
15:45in 2014.
15:46I really enjoyed
15:47participating in
15:48competitions in our school
15:49like cosplay competition,
15:50poster making contest,
15:51and so on.
15:52And I was a member
15:53of journalism
15:54in our school
15:55which is
15:56editorial cartoonist.
15:57Because of his love
15:58for arts,
15:59Haji studied
16:00makeup.
16:01When he was fighting
16:02for hair and makeup
16:03in school,
16:04that was their
16:05hair training.
16:06So what he knew,
16:07he taught me.
16:08I was the one who did
16:09the hair when
16:10he had events
16:11at weddings.
16:12Almost the same
16:13was the life
16:14of Haji and Lenny.
16:15Haji's family moved
16:16to another house
16:17and he experienced
16:18living with others.
16:19And then I thought,
16:20why not?
16:21I can do it too
16:22because at that time,
16:23I was about to graduate
16:24from high school
16:25and I didn't have
16:26financial support
16:27that I could get
16:28from my parents
16:29to send me to college.
16:30Growing up,
16:31my father
16:32was in prison
16:33and my mother
16:34had no job.
16:35Hi guys!
16:37So for today's episode,
16:38they entered
16:39into being
16:40content creators.
16:41There are makeup
16:42competitions,
16:43you have to make
16:44a video
16:45while doing
16:46your own makeup.
16:47That's how
16:48I started
16:49on social media.
16:51Lenny is also
16:52known for
16:53their makeup
16:54transformations.
16:56Until there was
16:57TikTok,
16:58that's when
16:59I started.
17:00At first,
17:01I just did
17:02cute makeup
17:03and then
17:04lipstick.
17:05Haji and Lenny
17:06both graduated
17:07from the Office
17:08Management System
17:09course.
17:10Because of
17:11being discarded,
17:12even during
17:13school,
17:14he took pictures of me
17:15and I posted it
17:16on Instagram
17:17and Facebook.
17:18Then there are
17:19brands that
17:20like my pictures
17:21and they approached
17:22me to promote
17:23their products.
17:24Haji and Lenny
17:25also used
17:26the products
17:27of some brands
17:28to earn money.
17:29Because of this,
17:30they saved
17:31to build
17:32a small studio.
17:33It was just
17:34small and hot
17:35because we
17:36didn't have
17:37an air conditioner.
17:38That was our struggle
17:39because we were
17:40ashamed because
17:41our clients
17:42didn't have
17:43an air conditioner.
17:44Haji and Lenny
17:45earned a lot
17:46for their
17:47dream studio.
17:48But because
17:49Haji's profession
17:50was different,
17:51his wealth
17:52and their
17:53relationship
17:54was judged.
17:55I really
17:56pursued
17:57makeup artistry
17:58even though
17:59that's not
18:00the standard
18:01that people
18:02who work as
18:03men see.
18:04I didn't think
18:05about it because
18:06I can't study
18:07if I listen
18:08to what they say.
18:09We're at
18:10the point
18:11where you become
18:12a man
18:13when you know
18:14that you can
18:15humble
18:16and shout
18:17that you love
18:18and you can
18:19resist
18:20everything.
18:21Today,
18:22Haji and Lenny
18:23are visiting
18:24the studio
18:25for the first time.
18:26The Filipino-Nigerian
18:27model and
18:28influencer
18:29is Laura Jane.
18:30Will they
18:31do a good
18:32look?
18:37Laura
18:38is
18:39very
18:40confident
18:41when it
18:42comes to
18:43makeup.
18:44Her
18:45hair
18:46and her
18:47makeup
18:48are very
18:49light.
18:50They
18:51never
18:52make me
18:53feel like
18:54they're
18:55covering
18:56my flaws
18:57or anything.
18:58Of course,
18:59we're not going
19:00to let Laura
19:01go,
19:02so it's
19:03time to
19:04meet
19:05Haji.
19:06Hello,
19:07Haji!
19:08Hello!
19:09I saw your
19:10studio's
19:11picture.
19:12It's beautiful!
19:14The aesthetic.
19:15Why do you have
19:16that vibe?
19:17Our studio's vibe
19:18is minimalist,
19:19high-class,
19:20high-end.
19:21But it's not
19:22like high-end.
19:23It's a bit
19:24pricey.
19:25It's not.
19:26It's not.
19:27It's just right.
19:28But all
19:29clients need
19:30is convenience.
19:31That's what
19:32they like the most.
19:33Pause for a second.
19:34Are you ready
19:35for my version
19:362.0 look?
19:37Super glam
19:38like a

19:44applied moisturizer
19:45so that
19:46our skin
19:47is not
19:48powdery
19:49and dry.
19:51I applied
19:52primer,
19:53applied lip balm,
19:54added eyeshadow
19:55and eyeliner,
19:56followed by
19:57foundation,
19:58concealer,
19:59and blush on.
20:00I put on
20:01eyelashes
20:02and mascara.
