00:00Did you practice waking up early?
00:10Because it's only 29 days, it's already Christmas Eve, and it's only 39 days, it's already Christmas.
00:15There's still a lot of days for business to start and earn.
00:19Here are the business ideas that will hit this Bear Months.
00:25The Christmas capital of the country has a new product, a Christmas tree.
00:29It's not only beautiful, it's also delicious when you taste it.
00:33It tastes like Christmas.
00:34The Christmas tree is so colorful that it brings joy to everyone.
00:39On Christmas, they usually put it on their table.
00:42It's not just food, it's also one of the main designs on the table.
00:47Wedding, eggs, business.
00:49The bright idea of a bride who came home with a big income.
00:52A week before our wedding date, it got canceled.
00:55I just tried to post it, it got a like.
00:58The first time I sold it, it reached around P10,000 or P11,000.
01:03Every month, we earn around P60,000.
01:09You're left and right party on the upcoming Christmas.
01:11It's not a hassle because there's a food tray that will complement you.
01:16A lot of our customers call,
01:18we have a party later tonight.
01:20We suddenly have a visitor coming.
01:22Eventually, you won't be able to refuse them.
01:24We started offering same-day deliveries within three hours in time.
01:31All of that, with money, ways.
01:34Are you excited about the cold?
01:37You should be more excited because it's Christmas, business.
01:41Business.
01:47It's sizzling.
01:49It's sizzling.
01:51That's how paroles are.
01:53Aside from their good taste, while it's sizzling,
01:57it's also delicious.
02:01These are the colorful parole cakes.
02:03Edible.
02:04Or you can eat it.
02:05Because not only does the cake have a birthday,
02:08this business is also popular during Christmas.
02:12Christmas Decorations
02:18As Christmas approaches,
02:20decorations will be added to the houses.
02:23Celebrities will also be joining in with their own themes.
02:30My dear friends,
02:31join me in celebrating Christmas in the country's Christmas capital,
02:34Pampanga.
02:37Different kinds of paroles are being sold here.
02:44Hello, Fatima.
02:46Hello.
02:47I'm glad I gave you a parole.
02:49Why is your parole so lonely?
02:51One by one.
02:52Let's make it four.
02:55I have a surprise for you.
02:56I also have a surprise for you.
02:58Let's go inside.
02:59Really?
03:00I didn't know I have a surprise for you.
03:02Come on, let's go inside.
03:05Chef Fatima opened her shop here in San Fernando City, Pampanga in 2016.
03:11Before I was born, my mom used to bake.
03:15This is what inspired her to become a chef.
03:20Three years later,
03:21she decided to design her parole cakes.
03:24She raised P10,000 here.
03:27Parole cakes were inspired by our province,
03:31which is Pampanga.
03:33We all know that Pampanga is the Christmas capital of the Philippines,
03:37and Pampanga is also the center for culinary arts.
03:43Christmas paroles are so colorful that it brings joys to everyone,
03:48especially when you're designing at home,
03:50and you're just passing by,
03:51and you can see the lights.
03:53It brings so much happiness to everyone.
03:57Because of her unique way of making cakes,
03:59her parole cakes became popular in the provincial magazine.
04:05Chef Fatima is known for her colorful and unique design of cakes.
04:09Almost all of her orders are custom-made or on purpose.
04:13But Twin Bar Mugs is the best seller of her parole cakes,
04:17even if it's just one design.
04:19Nowadays, people want Instagram posts,
04:25things they can post,
04:27things that are beautiful to look at.
04:29They usually put it on their table
04:31for Christmas, with lechon.
04:34It's not just food, it's also one of the main designs on the table.
04:39It's not just in the design of the parole cake that you can feel the Christmas season,
04:43but also in the flavor of the chocolate batirol.
04:47I chose the batirol because we know that when you're at home,
04:51when you're making batirol,
04:53you'll say,
04:54Mmm, it smells like Christmas!
04:56Because the peanutty and chocolatey flavor of the batirol
04:59is usually a trend among drinks like that,
05:03every Christmas.
05:05To make the cake, just mix the dry ingredients.
05:08Flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
05:15Next is the egg, vanilla extract, milk, water, and oil.
05:19Just mix it, then put it in a mold and bake it.
05:25For the filling and frosting,
05:27just mix the chocolate buttercream and chocolate batirol.
05:36Wrap the whole cake with buttercream frosting
05:38and design it with dripping icing.
05:48For the parole itself,
05:49Chef Fatima uses an edible printed design as a guide.
05:53It's a wafer sheet with edible ink,
05:55and it's based on a fondant.
05:57It's like the ones in Torones de Cazoy.
05:59Ah, yes.
06:00We have star tips,
06:02so they're small stars.
06:04So we'll form a small star,
06:06then it will form a big star.
06:09Oh, it's my turn!
06:11Good luck with the cake I made!
06:16Let's practice first,
06:18because we're not sure.
06:20Oh, it's big!
06:21Yes, it's just a little.
06:22Yes, just a little.
06:23Yes, just like that.
06:26Yes, just like that.
06:28You can be a chef now.
06:29Ah, I can be a chef.
06:33Oh!
06:34What did you say?
06:37What's that?
06:38I heard too much.
06:40What's important is that I didn't go overboard.
06:44I'm nervous.
06:47Where did it go?
06:50There!
06:51It looks like a wafer sheet.
06:53Right?
06:54It looks like mine.
06:57It's okay.
06:59What did you do, Patima?
07:01It's beautiful.
07:02I'm looking at it.
07:03Of course, I'll buy this,
07:04especially if it's cheap.
07:08There.
07:09It's beautiful.
07:10It looks like a wafer sheet.
07:13Chef Patima,
07:14you continue with this.
07:15I don't want to carry it.
07:19It takes 30 minutes for one cake.
07:22That's why it's called labor of love
07:24to make a wafer cake.
07:29Let's taste it!
07:31That's the exciting part of the cake,
07:33the cutting.
07:35Oh, wow.
07:36So this is chocolate bateron.
07:38This is chocolate.
07:39Chocolate bateron.
07:42There, can you see that?
07:44Yeah.
07:47For the first time,
07:48we tasted a different flavor.
07:50It's really Filipino.
07:51It tastes like peanut butter,
07:54bateron.
07:56It's like a 3-in-1, right?
07:58It's a combination of flavors.
08:00Oh, a combination of flavors.
08:01So, it's good with coffee.
08:04I'm not the only one who's happy with parol cake.
08:09It tastes like Christmas.
08:11It's delicious.
08:14The taste is good,
08:15and the design, as you can see.
08:17It's good for a giveaway for Christmas.
08:22It's good to eat,
08:24especially when you see it
08:26during Christmas.
08:29Aside from parol cake,
08:30there are also Christmas cookies
08:32that are designed by parol,
08:34Santa Claus, and reindeer cakes.
08:36During Christmas,
08:37almost 500 Christmas cakes
08:40are received.
08:42It's very tiring,
08:43but I have my team with me,
08:45so there are a lot of us.
08:47Everyone has a task to do.
08:49There will be a focus for parol cakes,
08:51some are focused on selling,
08:53some are focused on designing.
08:54So, it's a task by person.
08:57They can sleep during the pre-order system
08:59during peak season,
09:00just like Christmas.
09:02We'll release them
09:03for pre-ordering in a month.
09:05It's a big advantage,
09:07especially for businesses.
09:08You need to have lead time
09:10with each order,
09:12especially when they're all together.
09:14It takes process
09:15to finish a cake.
09:18Just like parol cakes,
09:19Chef Fatima's seasonal cakes
09:21are also colorful.
09:25With our Christmas cakes,
09:26we earn at least 5 digits
09:28for the whole season.
09:32There's no doubt that
09:33during Christmas,
09:34businesses earn more.
09:38For me,
09:39as a businessman,
09:40we need to be creative
09:41and adoptive,
09:43especially this Christmas.
09:45We need to follow the trend
09:46so we won't get left behind.
10:06A week before our wedding date,
10:08it got cancelled.
10:10So now,
10:11our wedding is one year late.
10:17I was stressed preparing for it.
10:20And then,
10:21a week before,
10:22we didn't know
10:23the term lockdown.
10:24It was my first time.
10:25It was my first time,
10:26I didn't know what would happen.
10:27So,
10:28full of uncertainty.
10:30Everything's ready
10:31and I'm just going to walk
10:32to the altar
10:33with my bride,
10:34Kate.
10:36209 cases of COVID-19
10:38were added in the Philippines
10:40when the pandemic hit.
10:42The expected few days of lockdown
10:44was reduced to a few weeks,
10:45a few months,
10:46and even a year.
10:49Along with our wedding,
10:50the use of her groom,
10:53Carlos,
10:55and the giveaway
10:56to their principal sponsors,
10:58Ceramic Plates and Bowls.
11:01So, Kate's solution
11:02instead of grumbling,
11:03just earn
11:04the ceramics.
11:07I just tried to post it.
11:08There were people who liked it.
11:10So, I had an idea.
11:12Maybe,
11:13there are people who like this product.
11:17They spent Php 6,000
11:18to buy the ceramics
11:20and sell them.
11:21She marked up the price
11:23so that she can earn somehow.
11:25Her good friend
11:26delivered the 10 sets
11:27of Ceramic Plates and Bowls
11:28immediately.
11:31When I first sold it,
11:33it reached around Php 10,000
11:35or Php 11,000.
11:36So, it's almost double.
11:38That's how much we spent.
11:40This is where she saw
11:41the potential of the product.
11:42In a cheap way,
11:43there's a giveaway
11:44that looks fancy.
11:45I want to enter the market
11:47where budgetarians
11:49and brides
11:50will have a chance
11:51to have a nice souvenir
11:53at a very affordable price.
11:56That's why she targeted
11:57people like them
11:58who are just getting married.
11:59Who would have thought
12:00that these ceramic sets
12:01are just cheap.
12:03The cheapest ceramic set
12:04by Kate is Php 200.
12:06While the most expensive one
12:07is Php 1,500.
12:10Little by little,
12:11Kate was able to earn money
12:12until they were able
12:13to save money
12:14for their dream wedding.
12:18And on April 2022,
12:20finally,
12:21the dream wedding
12:22of Kate and Carlos
12:23finally came true.
12:24Thank you for fighting with me
12:26and overcoming the trials
12:27that we had.
12:29The one who was blamed
12:30for better or for worse
12:32and for richer
12:33or for poorer
12:35we tried early
12:36on their entry-level business.
12:38What we really struggled with
12:39when it comes to clients
12:41who have broken products.
12:42So, of course,
12:43we need to replace them
12:45and also,
12:46we will cover the shipping fee.
12:47To avoid losses,
12:49they ensured
12:50that their products
12:51are safe and secured
12:52for the next shipment.
12:55What we do
12:56is we need shockproof,
12:57breakproof.
12:58We really did our best here
13:00because that's our way
13:01to ensure
13:02that it will reach
13:03our clients
13:04in a proper way
13:05because usually,
13:06for events,
13:07for weddings,
13:08we will look
13:09at what we can help.
13:10For example,
13:11there are items
13:12that are broken.
13:13So, we will replace them.
13:14If there are,
13:15for example,
13:16broken boxes,
13:17we will send
13:18extra boxes
13:19of what we can
13:20help them with.
13:22Kate imports
13:23ceramic sets
13:24from China.
13:25That's why it became
13:26challenging
13:27for the new business
13:28to access logistics.
13:30Transportation
13:32is one of the big
13:33struggles for me
13:34because there are
13:35a lot of containers.
13:36There are items
13:37that are fast
13:38but are expensive.
13:39It's a good thing
13:40that I was able
13:41to find a partner
13:42here
13:43who is a good
13:44forwarder,
13:45company,
13:46and affordable
13:47for me.
13:50The reason for the success
13:51of the problem
13:52in the business
13:53is that
13:54the partnership
13:55between Kate and Carlos
13:56becomes stronger.
13:57Oh,
13:58it's really
13:59a match
14:00made in heaven!
14:04Speaking of
14:05a perfect match,
14:06we have
14:07a challenge
14:08for our guests

14:10Araneta City,

14:12What they need to do
14:13is to place
14:14these bowls
14:15in front of them
14:16facing each other
14:171,
14:182,
14:193,
14:20so they can

14:53So, because of that,

14:59Okay,
15:00are you ready?

15:04Ta-da!
15:05Okay,
15:06it looks like it's not right.
15:07I'll give you
15:08another chance.
15:11Okay,
15:12are you ready?
15:13Show me your bowl.
15:14Oh!

15:17It looks like you have a third.

15:20Good job!
15:21That's what she said.
15:22You're right.
15:23You have
15:24100 pesos!
15:25So, yeah.
15:26You're right.
15:28If...
15:30Okay,
15:31I'll give you another chance.
15:32No,
15:33number 3.
15:36Why?
15:37Because it's not on number 3.
15:38It's number 3.
15:39Oh, it's not number 1?
15:41So, yeah.
15:42You're right.
15:43You're matching.
15:44You have
15:45100 pesos.
15:47Are you ready?
15:48It's easy.
15:49Okay, game.
15:50Ta-da!
15:51Nay,
15:52one more chance.
15:53So,
15:54we might
15:55get it right.
15:57Nay, you're right.
15:58There!
15:59You have
16:00100 pesos, Nay.
16:02Why is that color?
16:03It's my favorite color.
16:04Your favorite color is?
16:06Pink.
16:07I'll give you one more chance.
16:08But,
16:09it's the final one.
16:10You don't want to change it?
16:11It's the final answer?
16:12Yes.
16:14One more?
16:16Oh, it's already three.
16:18It's already three, right?
16:20Of course,
16:21the color you got is right.
16:23Because of that,
16:24you have 100
16:25pesos!
16:28Like the winners in our game,
16:30there are lucky days
16:32and the quota hits.
16:34But, there are also days
16:35where the sales are slow
16:37and the drama will be
16:38better luck next time.
16:41Even so,
16:42Kate insisted on selling.
16:44So, now,
16:45it's slowly bearing fruit.
16:47Every month,
16:48we're earning
16:49around six digits.
16:52They're also saving
16:53to buy their own house.
16:55And the extra money
16:56they're saving
16:57for the vacations
16:58inside and outside
16:59the country
17:00deserve.
17:03My advice
17:04to those
17:05who are starting
17:06a business,
17:08we need to be patient
17:10and don't stop.
17:11If we have a passion
17:12to do business,
17:15let's not make
17:16obstacles
17:17that we don't know about.
17:19Especially now,
17:20everything is on the internet.
17:21Just be patient
17:23and you'll find
17:24the right product
17:25and the right market
17:26for you.
17:28If there are
17:29closing doors,
17:30surely, there will be
17:31new ones opening.
17:32The one time
17:33that the time
17:34doesn't match,
17:35there can be
17:36a new one
17:37and a better
17:38opportunity
17:39and chance.
17:44All of us
17:45are curious
17:46about the food
17:47that will be prepared
17:48during Christmas.
17:49And not only that,
17:50even celebrities.
17:52Last Christmas Eve,
17:54Christopher Martin
17:55prepared a feast
17:56with matching
17:57lechon pa.
17:59The simple
18:00family meal
18:01prepared by
18:02Red Arrow star
18:03Sania Lopez
18:04is important
18:05because they are
18:06together.
18:07Last Christmas,
18:08the food and table
18:09set up
18:10prepared by
18:11Bea Alonso
18:12was very aesthetic.
18:13This year,
18:14not even December,
18:15Bea will have
18:16her first party.
18:17She hosted
18:18an intimate
18:19Thanksgiving party
18:20in their house
18:21for the cast
18:22and crew
18:23of her series
18:24Widows War.
18:27This holiday season,
18:28are you also hosting

20:16we can't refuse them.
20:18So we needed to come up

22:34We have
22:35Ta-da!
22:39Who will say
22:40that I'm not ready?
22:41I'm so ready
22:42to welcome
22:43my guests
22:44and visitors.
22:46Can we do that?
22:47There's a lot.
22:48In the food trays,
22:49there are 30 dishes
22:50to choose from.
22:51Their bestsellers are
22:52Baked Salmon,
22:53Roast Beef,
22:54and Hickory Pork Belly.
22:56It's said that
22:57Dai's original recipe
22:58for the food
22:59that they sell
23:00was finished
23:01by his wife
23:02of Culinary Arts.
23:09Mmm!
23:10It's hot!
23:11I can't wait
23:12for my visitors to eat.
23:13I don't have
23:14a craving for food.
23:15I'm so ready.
23:16It's so good.
23:19Mmm!
23:20They're going to be full.
23:21I'm also full.
23:24I have nothing to say.
23:25I have nothing
23:26to push forward.
23:28I just want everything
23:29to go down my throat.
23:31Everything is delicious.
23:33I can't believe
23:34that in 3 hours,
23:35my husband will deliver
23:36a gift like this.
23:38It's so good.
23:40Everything is under control.
23:41Mmm.
23:42I'm going to eat again.
23:44Who would have thought that this is a last-minute preparation?
23:53When they started the business, they didn't release any income.
23:57What they used to start was the down payment from their customers.
24:01It was just a side business back then.
24:03Their business was really a catering business.
24:06Because social gatherings were prohibited during the pandemic,
24:09they closed their catering business.
24:11Their food delivery business was popular,
24:13that's why the food race that used to be a sideline suddenly started.
24:18But even though their business was doing well,
24:21that year, another problem came.
24:24Because it was Christmas, we were happy to receive orders.
24:28Because it happened suddenly.
24:30It was the first time we received a lot of orders.
24:32We received what we received.
24:33But the problem was, there were only four of us.
24:35We were overwhelmed with the amount of orders.
24:38We couldn't catch up or do it right away.
24:41Up to the point that our customers would call us and ask,
24:45Are you a scammer? Are you scamming us?
24:49That's why they learned from their mistakes.
24:52For this occasion, their business continued to succeed.
24:57Do not let failures and setbacks discourage you in doing business.
25:02So, if something goes wrong or you make a mistake,
25:05don't let your heart get weak.
25:07Look at where you made a mistake, check it, and then improve.
25:12Because that's the best business lesson that you will get for your business.
25:16You will improve yourself.
25:18Because after that, you will get better.
25:22Nowadays, celebrations are left and right.
25:25It doesn't matter if it's big or simple.
25:28It's enough if you can do it.
25:30But in business, you can do it.
25:32Quality should always be guaranteed for a happy customer.
25:36Don't do business.
25:41The delay of Kate's wedding brought a lot of profit.
25:45Instead of grumbling, she thought of how to make use of the souvenirs
25:49that she was going to give.
25:51The ending was a surprise business.
25:54Chef Fatima is proud of her.
25:56Not only did she think that they are good at cooking,
26:00but she also thought of making their tradition bigger
26:02with her beautiful and delicious parol cake.
26:05It's stressful to prepare when there's an occasion.
26:08Dice thought of a solution,
26:10not only for her customers,
26:12but also to make her business better.
26:16Before lunch, let's talk about business ideas.
26:20Always remember, it's just money.
26:22You can do it.
26:24Join us every Saturday at 11.15 in the morning on GMA.
26:28I'm Susana Enriquez for Spera Para An.
