00:00The Business Mentor Talks is vlog by no other, Armando Buts Bartolome, in cooperation with
00:14the Manila Times.
00:15It aims to bring to life and recognize entrepreneurs who constantly strive to create a living for
00:21the community as well.
00:51Hello, hello, good afternoon, good morning to everyone, this is Buts Bartolome, the Business
01:19Mentor Talks.
01:20Today, we have a good topic and an inspirational entrepreneur who achieved his success, we call it persistence.
01:38We will interview an entrepreneur of VM My Beauty, VM My Beauty.
01:49So what is VM My Beauty, we will find out from Jeff Nickdao.
01:55Good morning to you Jeff.
01:57Good morning sir Buts and to all of our viewers and supporters of your program.
02:02Yes.
02:03So Jeff, tell us how you started your journey of being an entrepreneur.
02:12What did you start?
02:15Actually sir Buts, we started as an employee.
02:19I've been an employee for almost 13 years and we can say that we witnessed that being employed is not bad,
02:31but if you have high aspirations, you have to go through a lot to achieve that.
02:39Being an entrepreneur is one of the ways to achieve our dreams in life.
02:47For 13 years, sir Buts, I was employed as a salesman.
02:51Even though I was an employee, we have two children who are studying.
03:00When I have a house, I let my children study.
03:04So in short, we are the breadwinner.
03:08Since we don't have enough salary, we do side hustle or sidelines.
03:16We sell tocino, longganisa to our colleagues at work.
03:22Tupperware, we import that.
03:25Until I was promoted as a supervisor, I had extra time.
03:31We tax our sidelines.
03:35In short, you don't have enough air.
03:41In short, you become a pilot.
03:43But Jeff, you have a story of taking toll on your health.
03:53You have a tragedy in your life that you can't forget,
03:59but it's a big challenge for you.
04:01What happened to you?
04:03I told you that during our hard times, we abused our bodies.
04:13When I reached 40 years old,
04:18even though we have a successful franchising company,
04:22the problem is that our back and spine were affected.
04:27They call it a disbulge. That's how I felt.
04:31There was something coming out of my base that pinched my nerves down to my left leg.
04:38So the tendency is severe back pain.
04:42You're right. That's the saddest part of my life.
04:50I can't stand for a long time. I can't walk for a long time.
04:54I can only stand, sit, lie down and walk.
04:57All I can feel is pain.
05:00The only thing I can do is to sleep.
05:05How long did you endure this illness?
05:11It was two years, sir, since 2020.
05:14I thought it would only last for a day or two.
05:17I thought it would be gone.
05:19So it lasted for a month, five months, six months, a year.
05:24So it's really sad, sir Butch.
05:29The pain level is really high. My pain level is 8 to 10.
05:34That's why I take antipyretics.
05:37Pregabalin, Norgesic, Arcoxia.
05:40So my feeling is really bad.
05:45I don't want to have an operation because that's what my doctor recommends.
05:50He said he will open my spine to get rid of the bulging disbulge.
05:55If there's an alternative, I will really try it first.
06:02We do physical therapy, we do chiropractic, we do acupuncture.
06:08That's why there's nothing.
06:11Temporarily, I can relive it but after a while, it will come back.
06:16In other words, Jeff, you tried everything.
06:23You tried to find a cure.
06:26What happened to you?
06:28What was your situation as an entrepreneur?
06:30How do you make a living if what you're doing is really painful?
06:40That's it sir. It's foggy.
06:42The worst thing is, you will be taken by a painkiller, the drugs I mentioned.
06:48I will be presented by my franchising company.
06:52I know that the clients will hear a lot of noise from me.
06:55I will be taken first before I present.
06:58That's it. My body is already immune when the time comes.
07:03The drugs don't work anymore.
07:06That's why I'm looking for an alternative solution to my problem.
07:11Sir Bush, I can say that it's hopeless.
07:16Maybe if we meet again, I will tell you, even if you force me, you can make me better.
07:23We will meet again.
07:26Right. But anyway, what happened?
07:29What happened to what you did?
07:31What was the turnaround?
07:33Sir, someone offered me Dear Placenta.
07:37One of my friends offered me to help.
07:41Of course, because of a hopeless person, I was really shocked.
07:46So I attended their seminar.
07:49The product, if there are a lot of people, Sir Bush, a lot of people buy it.
07:54So I studied what Dear Placenta is,
07:57only to find out that it really helps with pain.
08:04So that's it. We were sold.
08:07That's why when I was about to buy it, I didn't want to sell a bottle.
08:12They said I needed seven.
08:14So imagine 20,000 for one bottle at that time.
08:18In 2020, now I think they are already at 25,000.
08:23Times seven.
08:25I can still buy it. We have a business.
08:28That's when I saw the opportunity.
08:31I said, this is a good business.
08:34Because I saw, Sir Bush, a lot of people buy it.
08:36I said, we can do business.
08:39I found out the procedure.
08:42I found out that the product came from Singapore.
08:47But in short, Sir Bush, we went to Singapore
08:50to formulate our own brand.
08:53Wait a minute. Did you buy what you call Dear Placenta?
08:59Did you try it before?
09:01No. Instead of buying it,
09:04Sir Bush, I immediately went to Singapore.
09:09That's why those who are selling it to me,
09:11we haven't met yet, Sir Bush.
09:13They said I fought them.
09:15That's what happened.
09:17I didn't buy it because I was a bit disappointed.
09:21Why do I need seven?
09:23Maybe I can sell it one by one.
09:26It's not a waste.
09:29So I thought, Sir Bush,
09:32when I come here, I will sell bottles to Filipinos.
09:36Correct. Correct.
09:38But what's the effect on you?
09:41I went to Singapore in 2021.
09:46Our product arrived in October 2021.
09:50The initial sample is 10 bottles.
09:53I told them to send the five bottles to the FDA
09:58to be certified.
10:00I tried it in October, November and December.
10:04Sir Bush, I got four bottles in three months.
10:09I was free from the disease after three months.
10:12After three months, the pain was gone.
10:15My therapist was gone.
10:17My medication was also gone.
10:19That's why I was very impressed with the product of placenta.
10:26Did you consult a doctor to verify?
10:30Yes. Beforehand, we did an MRI.
10:35That's when I discovered that I have AIDS.
10:38After I took it and I felt the pain,
10:44of course, on January 22, we did an MRI again.
10:49The disc bulge was gone.
10:53It came out like this on my spine.
10:56There was no more pain in my bones.
11:00But the pain was also gone.
11:04What did your doctor say?
11:06I mean, I'm sure...
11:08My doctor was surprised with what happened.
11:10The disc bulge was gone.
11:12The doctor said,
11:14this is what I drank.
11:16It's good.
11:18You should continue.
11:20In short, it means that placenta helped.
11:24If it helped me, sir Bush,
11:27it can also help someone like me who has the same feeling.
11:33That's why we did the business.
11:37So from the pain,
11:39in other words, you had physical pain,
11:41you also had pain in looking at opportunity.
11:45In other words, the pain point,
11:47you identified that there is an opportunity.
11:50Fast forward, what did you do?
11:56How did you expand your business?
12:02Way back in 2021, sir Bush,
12:04if you can remember,
12:05we were still under the pandemic until 2022.
12:08I started to market through online,
12:12only through social media.
12:14When we saw on social media,
12:17there were people inviting us to TV stations
12:22so we can interview and introduce the best product.
12:26From there, we went to many stations.
12:31We went to almost every station.
12:35It helped to boost the orientation or the information
12:42that there is a Filipino-owned company selling dear placenta.
12:46Through social media, through TV network, radio, print ads,
12:52we grew.
12:55How widespread is your dear placenta business?
13:01Sir Bush, our product is now spreading globally.
13:05Although we don't have branches abroad,
13:09we are shipping it internationally.
13:13Europe, US, Australia, UAE, Asia, up to Africa sir Bush.
13:22We are now registering in South Africa.
13:25That's big.
13:27But again, it's outsourced from Singapore, right?
13:31But you are under your own brand, correct?
13:35Yes sir.
13:36So basically, it looks like you have a mission
13:41to make this dear placenta affordable.
13:46What are the testimonies that you have received yet so far?
13:50It's biased to me.
13:53Sir, our testimonies are overflowing.
13:58Across the Philippines, all types of illnesses.
14:02The most significant to us is stage 4 lymphoma.
14:09So he has stage 4 cancer, which is lymphoma.
14:14I went to the office and did a lot of research.
14:19I was even helped, I'm not in stage 1, I'm in stage 4.
14:24Then he tried our six-month therapy program.
14:29After seven battles, he went back to the office.
14:33He testified that his cancer cells in his lymphoma were cleared due to our product.
14:40We have a lot of people we can help.
14:44If your product is that good, we will distribute it sir.
14:50Yes. So basically, it's like this Jeff.
14:54If there's someone who wants to try,
15:00what are the initial things that he should see?
15:03Because there are expectations.
15:05Yes, that's right.
15:06We don't want to have, what do you call it?
15:12Approved therapeutic claim.
15:14Approved therapeutic claim.
15:16But I'm sure you have a lot of testimonials.
15:20But how can you say the initial stages of a person who will get this?
15:28What are the effects or what can he see as a change?
15:34Can he see a change within one month, five days?
15:38What is your observation on that?
15:41My invitation to patients is to try it first.
15:45Let's not spread it first.
15:48Try the product.
15:50From there, you can test it and experience it.
15:55It depends on the absorption of our body.
15:58For me, in my case, it was three months when I felt the relief that was given to me
16:07or the solution to my problem that I've been having for two years.
16:11Actually, earlier this morning, he didn't even have a week.
16:16He has diabetes.
16:18I called him this morning.
16:21Sir, thank you. Thank you so much.
16:27But this is not a placebo effect because there are people,
16:31you know what a placebo is, Jeff.
16:33It's in the mind.
16:35I took this and I got better.
16:38But this is not a contemporary placebo, right?
16:43There is science behind this.
16:45Do you know, sir?
16:47Scientists have been studying this since the 19th century.
16:51Placenta is very rich in growth factors
16:55that our stem cells need in our body.
16:59We have stem cells in our body.
17:02That is our healing mechanism.
17:05It's our self-healing mechanism.
17:07Do you remember that you got hurt when you got better?
17:11Correct.
17:12That's why as we grow old,
17:15at the age of 25,
17:18the production of stem cells stops.
17:21That's why it doesn't increase.
17:24But the problem is that because we eat,
17:28our environment and lifestyle in terms of eating
17:32deteriorates.
17:34It gets sick, weakens, ages, and becomes lazy.
17:38Now, it cannot handle its functionality
17:42to heal our feelings.
17:45This is the lifestyle now, Jeff.
17:49In our lifestyle now,
17:53there are many effects.
17:56What's important is prevention, right?
18:01Prevention.
18:02There is nothing better than preventing
18:04than taking medicine.
18:06How can we contact you?
18:08I'm sure many of our viewers have watched you
18:12on other media.
18:15How can they get in touch with you?
18:18For those who want to try,
18:20my invitation to you is to try it first.
18:24Try the very good product.
18:26It's not new.
18:28It's been in the market for a long time.
18:30But because we are a third world country,
18:32we are always a bit late.
18:35Try the Be My Beauty Dear Placenta.
18:38For me, it has an effect.
18:40It can have an effect on you
18:42because we have already tried it.
18:44It really helps.
18:46Although it's considered a food supplement,
18:48it's FDA approved, sir Butch.
18:51It's not just FDA approved,
18:53but it's also Halal certified.

19:15Viber, WhatsApp, or cell phone number,

19:23or 0977-806-4213.
19:29Our admins are very aggressive.
19:31They are very responsive.
19:33That's good.
19:35We will also show,
19:37while we are interviewing,
19:39we will also show other pictures
19:41or movie clips
19:43for the viewers to see.
19:45Maybe you have a picture
19:47when you were...
19:49Yes, I have.
19:51But your back was very painful that day.
19:54I did therapy.
19:56We have his files.
19:58So that's what we will do.
20:01But Jeff, one of the things
20:03that I always ask
20:05in our interviews is
20:07what are the takeaways
20:09that you can give to the viewers?
20:11For example,
20:13go through
20:15the process of
20:17making your journey
20:19more successful,
20:21and your responsibility
20:23to your family.
20:25What are the three or five
20:27things that you can
20:29share with them?
20:31Number one,
20:33based on my experience,
20:35number one is to stay positive.
20:37That's a big thing
20:39because as they say,
20:41a negative outlook
20:43will not result in a positive outcome.
20:45So stay positive
20:47despite of all the struggles
20:49that we are going through.
20:51Because we cannot avoid
20:53that.
20:55But if you're the type of person
20:57who thinks that everything
20:59is positive,
21:01that's where the wisdom
21:03and ideas will come in.
21:05And that's where
21:07we can start right.
21:09So stay positive.
21:11And of course, number one,
21:13take action.
21:15So if we see an opportunity,
21:17in the beginning,
21:19in my life,
21:21when we think,
21:23if there's an opportunity,
21:26don't be afraid.
21:28Just look carefully
21:30if that opportunity is available to you.
21:32If you think you'll excel,
21:34don't be afraid.
21:36There's nothing to say,
21:38there's no failure.
21:40It's part of the process of success.
21:42So stay positive
21:44and grab all the opportunities
21:46that are available at hand.
21:48Because the future is hard to think about.
21:50What's important is the now.
21:52What's in front of you now,
21:54and you'll see that
21:56when you think positively.
21:58And of course,
22:00don't forget your purpose.
22:02Why do you need to do that?
22:04What will it bring to you?
22:06What will you bring
22:08to other people?
22:10If that's
22:12our principle,
22:14Sir Butch,
22:16we won't make mistakes.
22:18Because one thing,
22:20if you aim well,
22:22it will be bad in the end.
22:24That's right.
22:26It's like you're saying
22:28that you shouldn't be ashamed.
22:30You became a taxi driver.
22:32Imagine,
22:34you're a supervisor
22:36of a big department store.
22:38And all of a sudden,
22:40you became a taxi driver.
22:42What you're doing
22:44should be considered noble.
22:46You should never be ashamed
22:48of what you're doing
22:51That's what you're doing.
22:53So it's not just a dream.
22:55That's right.
22:57So that's it.
22:59Again, Jeff,
23:01thank you very much.
23:03More power to VM My Beauty
23:05and also,
23:07again, proudly Filipino
23:09conquering the world.
23:11Thank you, Sir Butch.
23:13Alright.
23:15Thank you very much.
23:17Bye-bye.
23:21Bye-bye.
23:23Bye-bye.
23:25Bye-bye.
23:27Bye-bye.
23:50Bye-bye.
