00:00This video was taken on a plate in Banaue, Quezon City,
00:06when a senior citizen's wife, Vicky, and Gerald, were asked to build a vehicle.
00:12They were expected to pay only P6,000.
00:17But when they asked for it, their payment reached P100,000.
00:23Oh no! What happened?
00:25Our intention at that time was to change the oil.
00:28But someone approached us.
00:30I felt sorry for him because he said he didn't have a job or food.
00:35He offered a visor.
00:36But he said he doesn't have a rain visor, only in the shop.
00:39But when they arrived at the auto shop,
00:41they were greeted by various kinds of services.
00:45The drivers also laughed at the damage to their cars.
00:49How much is that?
00:50That's cheap, you can eat that.
00:52Vicky and Gerald are both retired from their jobs.
00:56That's why they couldn't do anything when they were asked to pay P100,000.
01:02We paid P101,000.
01:04That's the element of being old.
01:06Considering that we're old, we were really bored.
01:09We expected too much from the kindness of the people.
01:11We thought they wouldn't do that.
01:14That's why the couple took action.
01:17We reported it to the Mayor through email.
01:20And then DTI also took action.
01:22Because of this, P70,000 was returned to Gerald and Vicky.
01:28The couple also had an agreement with the owner of the auto shop.
01:33To my mind, I have forgiven him.
01:35He should have been punished.
01:35But he shouldn't have done it again.
01:37Our team also tried to persuade the owner of the auto shop.
01:41But they refused to give their money.
01:46Dear viewers,
01:47the holiday season is over and we need to save money again.
01:51Along with the rising prices of goods,
01:56will you allow yourself to be overpriced?
02:00Are you ready to take action when you see this situation?
02:07That's what we learned from our experiment.
02:11You're overpriced.
02:13In a store, we'll do our first scene.
02:16In our store,
02:19the price of vegetables will be overpriced.
02:24Carrots, P250,000.
02:26Overpriced, P200,000.
02:27Let's roll the Good News Camera.
02:31Ma'am, vegetables and fruits, ma'am.
02:33Your carrots are expensive. P250,000 per kilo?
02:36Yes, ma'am. P250,000 per kilo.
02:38That's too much.
02:40This is broken.
02:41It's expensive. P250,000.
02:43A woman approached the store.
02:46Isn't this expensive? P250,000 per kilo?
02:49Yes, you can buy it for P120,000.
02:51That's broken, ma'am.
02:53Hold it, ma'am.
02:54Hold your carrots, P250,000. It's ugly.
02:57We can't do anything, ma'am.
02:58That's the price, ma'am.
03:01Hold it, ma'am. P250,000 per kilo.
03:03When she heard the price drop,
03:06she backed off.
03:08At first, I thought, what kind of vegetable is that?
03:11I asked what kind of vegetables.
03:13She said, carrots.
03:15I thought, it's expensive.
03:17No, it should be equal.
03:19Like, what's the price of the other one?
03:21That's what I thought.
03:25Let's level up the scene.
03:27Our second experiment.
03:29Are you ready to help
03:31if you see a man who's cutting vegetables?
03:34In this scene,
03:36there's a sister who, for example,
03:38eats in a restaurant for the first time.
03:41Ma'am, what would you like to order?
03:43Our budolerang waitress
03:45will feed them.
03:47What would you recommend?
03:49Something cheap.
03:51We have crispy pata, ma'am.
03:53Do you want crispy pata?
03:55That's cheap, ma'am.
03:57Do you want shrimp, ma'am?
03:59Who likes pancit, ma'am?
04:01We also have pancit.
04:03Ma'am, we have soup.
04:05Do you want sinigang?
04:07A lot.
04:09Sinigang?
04:11The waitress said it's cheap.
04:13Php 5,000?
04:15Why is it so cheap?
04:17That's our price, ma'am.
04:19You said it's cheap.
04:21Why is it so expensive?
04:23Php 5,000?
04:25Ma'am, you ordered a lot.
04:27She said it's cheap.
04:29But you ordered a lot.
04:31I told you that you'll agree.
04:33She's the one we sent out.
04:35When the customer and waitress
04:37were listening to the competition,
04:39they couldn't help but ask.
04:41I have nothing to do.
04:43How many are you going to eat?
04:45Just two, ma'am.
04:47What can you eat?
04:49This is okay, ma'am.
04:51Give me that one.
04:53This is the one, ma'am.
04:55They're just eating two.
04:57You ordered a lot.
04:59I'm sorry, ma'am.
05:01I'm sorry, ma'am.
05:03I'm sorry, ma'am.
05:05I didn't order them.
05:07You ordered two, so you can eat a lot.
05:09Here you go, ma'am.
05:11What do you want?
05:13Good news!
05:15Thank you for your help, ma'am.
05:17I heard her earlier.
05:19Their conversation was very intimidating.
05:21It's a pity.
05:23Php 2,000 only.
05:25I feel sorry for her.
05:27I have money.
05:29I'll just buy it.
05:31There are people who are easily fooled.
05:33They're easily fooled.
05:35They're easily fooled.
05:37A lot of people are complaining.
05:39Others are silent
05:41because they don't know that they were fooled.
05:43Later on, they'll know that they were fooled
05:45when they compare or
05:47there's a profit to them.
05:49The law protects the right of consumers
05:51to buy at a fair price.
05:55In Republic Act 7581
05:57or the Price Act,
05:59illegal price manipulation
06:01or pricing
06:03exceeds the mandated price ceiling.
06:05Anyone who proves
06:07that he or she broke the law
06:09can be jailed.
06:11That's why, dear viewers,
06:13remember that the profit of a partner is bad.
06:15Let's be fair to each other
06:17so that
06:19the one who comes back to us
06:21won't be punished.
06:23Okay, you can eat.
06:25But, good karma!
06:31Hey!
06:35Hey!
07:01you
