00:00You also used to be in the food business. Tell us about the humble beginnings of an Abby Marquez.
00:07So my food business, the earliest one is, I really like to cook to let other people taste it.
00:15As in grade 5, grade 6.
00:18It's good to be a neighbor.
00:19Yeah! Or classmate. I'm happy bonding.
00:24As early as grade 5 or grade 6, I would bake cookies.
00:27That's hard too.
00:29I would give it to my classmates or teachers.
00:32But it became a business.
00:34One day, I got tired of it.
00:37So I sold brownies and cookies.
00:40In high school, I sold pasta.
00:43As in, I would wake up at 5am and cook pasta.
00:47When I went to school, I would bring pasta and people would eat it.
00:52I didn't do it out of necessity really, but it's just my way of,
00:56taste my cooking.
00:58But my most serious food business was when I was in 4th year college.
01:08It was a pandemic, so it was an online class.
01:10What we had to do was,
01:13in UP, we have a restaurant, a tea room.
01:17And our role or responsibility or project was to take over that restaurant as students.
01:25Like, take over this restaurant for a whole semester.
01:29But because it was an online class, we couldn't do it.
01:32What my teacher told us to do was to start an individual food business.
01:37So my food business that I started, it was supposed to last for 2 weeks,
01:43was lasagna and garlic parmesan, like pizza nuts.
01:47It was supposed to run only for 2 weeks.
01:51My goal revenue was like 5,000.
01:54But when I started it, the customers would come back.
01:59It grew naturally through word of mouth.
02:02It received more success than I expected.
02:08It lasted for 6 months.
02:10So my lasagna business ran for 6 months.
02:14Even until now, people talk about it and they ask me,
02:16do you still sell lasagna?
02:18And I ask, are parmesan and parmesan the same?
02:21Yes, it's the same.
02:22Farmer John's.
02:23Farmer John's.
02:25That's a true question.
02:29Because when I heard it, it sounded good.
02:32Farmer John's.
02:33I just want to ask, is it parmesan?
02:36Farmer John's.
02:37That's how it's pronounced.
02:40I'm going to be a UP student.
02:43There's an open university.
02:46We have 44 free courses that are offered in open universities.
02:51It's possible.
02:52Why not?
02:53For the professors, this is Buboy Villar.
02:57He wants to finish in Pamantasan.
02:59Let's connect him to his studies.
03:01Yes, please.
03:02So he can sell lasagna.
03:04And so he knows what parmesan is.
03:07Farmer John's.
03:08It's crazy.
03:09Why do other countries' food sound so good?
03:13Farmer John's.
03:14While we're eating dinengdeng.
03:16Wall to wall.
03:18In Bisaya, it's Utan Bisaya.
03:22It sounds good, but it's delicious.
