00:00See, Juan, when he's saving up to buy an outfit in Ucayan, he's catching up.
00:18That's the scene in this Ucayan in Binan, Laguna whenever new Ucay-Ucay items arrive.
00:24The customers discard their own to get the item they want.
00:36What they sell here are clothes and bags with discounted prices.
00:43In the cheapest, my sales is like up to five pesos, I can sell.
00:49Usually short pants, that's my cheapest.
00:55And then my most expensive is gowns, it reaches 700 pesos, the rest is only 250 pesos.
01:07Good day to all of you, we're here in Busra, Ucay-Ucay in Binan, Laguna.
01:13As you can see, there are a lot of people queuing up here.
01:18Wait, I'll just interview someone.
01:21Sir, why are you here? What are you going to do?
01:27I'm going to get something to sell.
01:29You, sir, why are you here?
01:33I'm going to get something to sell.
01:35A lot of people are fighting here.
01:37But now, I have 500 pesos here.
01:42I need to buy an outfit.
01:44That's why, I noticed that I might get stamped here.
01:49Wait, employee.
01:51It seems like you need help in finding worthy Ucay-Ucay items.
01:56It's here and it will help you.
02:00If we're only going to talk about Ucay-Ucay,
02:02our wonder, Sed aka Daniel Padilla of Malabon City, is a master of it.
02:08It's really hard to find clothes of Daniel Padilla.
02:12We know that those are really expensive.
02:16Why don't I try to buy Ucay?
02:18Because before, it's really hard to buy Ucay.
02:21Where did this come from?
02:23But when I tried, why are there branded clothes here?
02:27The good thing is, it's cheaper.
02:28It's cheaper?
02:30Because of his outfits, you'll be confused if it's Sed or Daniel Padilla that you're facing.
02:38Memoy, my friend.
02:40Mema!
02:42Daniel!
02:44Daniel!
02:46It's good that you're here.
02:49It's up to you.
02:51Because now, we're going to look for a uniform.
02:55This handsome one.
02:56This is 500 pesos.
02:58Can you buy my outfit?
03:00Of course. Do you want it?
03:03Okay, okay.
03:05Customers have their own uniforms.
03:08Later.
03:09There's more.
03:25Paunahan,
03:27Agawan,
03:29and Banyahan.
03:35Empoy and Sed, how are you?
03:40Why are we going to the side?
03:42I love myself.
03:44And Daniel loves himself.
03:46Yes, because later, he might lose his handsome face.
03:49I saw a stamp there.
03:53Oh, so that's how they stamp it.
03:55So that's how they stamp it.
03:57Oh, so they'll get all of it.
03:59Then they'll choose.
04:01What we're looking for now, maybe even just a shirt.
04:04Me, even just a brief.
04:06The unique ones.
04:10What's that?
04:12Like this, there's a tag.
04:14That's okay.
04:16Pantalon naman.
04:18It's simple, right? But it's rock.
04:20Rock, rock.
04:22The Agawan in Okayan is called a selector.
04:25In one bale, they'll get branded ones.
04:29So that's what they really want.
04:31Of course, if they get that,
04:33the others will resell it.
04:36They sell it online.
04:37So what if it's just a slight injury?
04:39Usually, it's just a slight injury.
04:41Like earlier, his foot was really injured.
04:44Sometimes, their heads are bumping.
04:47It's like that.
04:49So no matter how much we try to stop them,
04:52you can't really stop them.
04:56Excuse me, sir.
04:58Are you pregnant?
05:00I'm not.
05:02Sorry, I'm not.
05:04Here, you can see the commanders.
05:06Are those the ones you got?
05:08Yes, sir.
05:10But I still have to choose.
05:12You still have to choose?
05:14They're really good at choosing.
05:16While they're looking for Ukay items,
05:18another bale was released by Rueda.
05:21Will Empoy and Zed be able to get a jackpot item?
05:26It's like a cutting ribbon.
05:35Nice try, Empoy and Zed.
05:38After a few minutes of fighting,
05:40Empoy and Zed, did you get a lot?
05:44This is it.
05:46This is it.
05:48This really suits you.
05:50I'm about to cry.
05:52Let's see if this fits the 500.
05:56This?
05:58T-shirt?
06:00125.
06:02Pantaloons?
06:03Pantaloons?
06:05250.
06:07And then this, biker leather jacket.
06:09250.
06:12You went too far.
06:14But, there's a secret.
06:16What's the secret?
06:18We'll forgive you.
06:20Okay.
06:22Ma'am, will you forgive us?
06:24Yes, ma'am.
06:26Ma'am, this is all we have.
06:28We need to manage our budget.
06:30I'll try to manage the 250.
06:34And then this,
06:36175.
06:38125.
06:47Okay, let's go for the 500.
06:50500 Pesos Ukay Challenge with Empoy and Zed, success!
06:53Ukay-ukay is taken from the word halukay.
06:56The clothes in Ukayan usually come from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and America.
07:03But I wonder, when and how did it first appear in the Philippines?
07:08The origin of Ukay-ukay came from Baguio in the 1980s to 1990s
07:14where they sell second-hand items.
07:17And because Filipinos are practical when it comes to saving on goods,
07:21they use Ukay-ukay.
07:24Most of the wars that took place back then were due to the need for clothes in the Philippines.
07:30And Baguio City was the place where second-hand items from other countries came from.
07:47Thank you for watching!
