00:00And because March is National Women's Month,

00:02another empowered women,

00:04we will be with her today

00:06and to find out who she is,

00:08let's watch this.

00:11If you think that driving a big truck

00:14is only suitable for men,

00:17no, you're wrong.

00:18Because even for women,

00:20it is very difficult to drive it.

00:23Just like the OFW in Japan,

00:26Chris Verano.

00:27It's a shame to say that

00:29because of his height of 5'1",

00:31driving a big dump truck

00:33is very difficult for him.

00:37Aside from being a truck driver,

00:39he also managed

00:41his own travel agency

00:43and other businesses in Japan.

00:46Because of Chris' dedication and hard work

00:49in the past 19 years

00:51since he was born in Japan,

00:53the state of his life

00:55has improved a lot compared to before.

00:58And now, he is working harder

01:00for his family.

01:08Imagine that, Daniel.

01:10A truck driver for a woman.

01:12It's not easy.

01:14It's a big truck.

01:16The measurement for the vehicle

01:18is very big.

01:20And the manuevering

01:22is different.

01:24And for us to get to know him better,

01:26we have with us today

01:28Chris Verano, live from Japan.

01:30Welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:32Good morning.

01:34Good morning, everyone.

01:36Thank you for inviting me.

01:38Ma'am Chris,

01:40please tell us

01:42how did you become a truck driver

01:44in Japan?

01:46Actually, I never imagined

01:48that I would be a truck driver.

01:50Because as a small woman,

01:52I was only 5 months old.

01:54But since

01:56the business that I was doing

01:58with my Japanese business partner,

02:00we were able to

02:02separate the houses

02:04and the buildings.

02:06And so,

02:08we were lacking in drivers

02:10because it's really hard

02:12to get a truck driver here.

02:14So, that's where it started

02:16that I needed

02:18to get a license

02:20to be a truck driver.

02:22But of course, at first,

02:24I was a little scared,

02:26because I couldn't do it.

02:28The truck was so big,

02:30I was so small,

02:32the load was heavy.

02:34But when I got there,

02:36I was able to enjoy it

02:38somehow.

02:40At first, I was scared,

02:42but I was able to do it.

02:44I was able to enjoy it.

02:46At first,

02:48I was scared

02:50of the truck drivers.

02:52They were surprised

02:54about the truck I was driving.

02:56So, when other people

02:58saw me,

03:00they would video call me

03:02and tell me what truck I was driving

03:04that was even bigger than theirs.

03:06So, that's where it started

03:08to be a truck driver.

03:10I thought I couldn't do it,

03:12but I was able to do it.

03:14It's really challenging

03:16when you see a lady driver

03:18driving a truck

03:20that's bigger than hers.

03:22But physically,

03:24was it difficult for you

03:26at first?

03:28Because you're a woman,

03:30it's really difficult

03:32to drive a truck.

03:34Yes, at first, I was really scared.

03:36At first,

03:38I didn't have any training.

03:40I was just instructed

03:42on what to do,

03:44and since

03:46my truck is a dump truck,

03:48it carries garbage,

03:50wood, and other things

03:52that we throw away.

03:54So, my struggle

03:56was that while I was driving,

03:58I was worried.

04:00I was worried

04:02that if I dump

04:04my truck,

04:06the truck's door

04:08will close again.

04:10I really couldn't do it.

04:12When I started,

04:14I was making friends

04:16with other men

04:18who were doing the same work.

04:20When they see

04:22that I can't do it,

04:24they help me.

04:26Even now, I still can't

04:28open the truck's door.

04:30They still help me.

04:32I'm just making friends

04:34so that at least,

04:36I can open the truck's door.

04:38I have to close it.

04:40It's really heavy.

04:42I really couldn't do it.

04:44I just lifted it,

04:46but it was stuck.

04:48And partner,

04:50the handlebars are upside down,

04:52right?

04:54In the Philippines,

04:56the driver is on the left,

04:58and in Japan, it's on the right.

05:00Did you adjust to that aspect

05:02of driving?

05:04Yes, actually,

05:06I've been driving for 10 years.

05:08I'm on the left, and you're on the right.

05:10There's no problem with the handlebars.

05:12In the beginning,

05:14when the handlebars are really big,

05:16it's just like that.

05:18Until the middle.

05:20My hand is just in the middle

05:22of the handlebars.

05:24But it's okay.

05:26When I got used to it,

05:28it's like,

05:30the big handlebars are gone.

05:32When you get used to it,

05:34you can do it.

05:36Ma'am, we're really curious

05:38because your work in Japan

05:40is really amazing.

05:42How many hours do you drive every day?

05:44And how many years have you been doing this?

05:46Actually,

05:48it's been a long time.

05:50From 6am until 8pm.

05:52The driving of the truck.

05:56The driving of the truck

05:58was just last year.

06:00I started last year.

06:02How's your business there, ma'am?

06:06Actually,

06:08I do a lot of business here.

06:10I also buy and sell

06:12vehicles.

06:14I'm also a real estate agent.

06:16I'm also an affiliate

06:18of a travel agency

06:20in the Philippines.

06:22In ticketing.

06:24I do a lot of things.

06:26I do a lot of things online.

06:28What can I earn?

06:30What can I do

06:32to make it

06:34worth my time?

06:36That's it.

06:38I also assist

06:40foreigners

06:42who don't know how to speak

06:44Japanese or

06:46who don't know how to read.

06:48I also assist them.

06:50They just go to my shop.

06:52Actually, they just go

06:54and ask for help.

06:56That's it.

06:58That's one of the things

07:00I do here.

07:02My shop is right here.

07:04That's great.

07:06You're a woman.

07:08Do you have a message

07:10to your fellow Filipinos like Leslie?

07:12Yes.

07:14My message

07:16to my fellow Filipinos

07:18or women like me

07:20is that

07:22to be successful,

07:24we shouldn't buy jobs.

07:26Even if it's

07:28for men,

07:30we can do it.

07:32At first,

07:34we'll doubt that we can't do it.

07:36But let's not limit

07:38ourselves to what we can do.

07:40Because

07:42when we're in a situation,

07:44we'll enjoy

07:46and

07:48at the same time,

07:50we'll earn.

07:52Let's not limit

07:54ourselves.

07:56If men can do it, we can do it too.

07:58Partner,

08:00Ma'am Chris also has a travel business.

08:02If we'll go to Japan,

08:04we'll know.

08:06We'll come to you.

08:08Actually, I'm also a tour guide.

08:10You can be my guide.

08:12Alright. Thank you so much

08:14for joining us this morning,

08:16Ma'am Chris.

08:18I'm sure we have a lot of RSP

08:20who were inspired by your life story.

08:22Thank you so much and good morning.

08:24Thank you very much.
