00:00 To save on tuition, some students and parents bought second-hand books.

00:06 Some are selling them online.

00:08 Katrina Suan has a report.

00:10 If tuition, uniforms, and school supplies are checked,

00:17 are your children's books ready for the entrance exam?

00:21 Louisa Espiloy, a child who went to Recto in Manila to buy books,

00:27 she says it's cheaper to buy second-hand books than new ones.

00:31 Instead of a whole payment,

00:33 you can buy half of the books or more if you want a discount.

00:39 If you have a budget of P10,000,

00:42 you can buy a book for P4,000 or P5,000.

00:47 Some students are choosing to buy second-hand books.

00:52 They say it's the same and it's helpful for their parents.

00:56 The original price is P3,700.

00:59 I bought a second-hand for P750.

01:02 It's a big help.

01:04 Almost 70% of students and parents who buy books

01:10 from second-hand bookstores will save.

01:13 The books sold here are almost new.

01:17 That's why it's called "value for money."

01:20 Filipina Tan has been running a bookstore for 30 years.

01:24 Most of the books sold are second-hand.

01:27 It's important because second-hand books are cheaper than brand new books.

01:32 They don't afford that because books are expensive now.

01:36 Especially, nursing books are expensive.

01:39 But since the pandemic,

01:41 they haven't been able to earn their money back.

01:44 That's why they decided to sell second-hand books online.

01:48 Our secret is to be online.

01:51 We can survive online selling.

01:56 If we don't open our bookstores,

01:59 we can't sell books.

02:01 We have to be patient.

02:02 For parents and students who are practical,

02:05 don't judge a book by its cover.

02:08 Because it's brand new or second-hand,

02:11 it's just one book and its contents.

02:14 Katrina Sun reporting for GMA Integrated News.
