00:00 Filipinos are really fond of saying things.
00:02 So, my challenge today is to complete the sentences that they will give me.
00:09 Game? Okay, game!
00:11 Who is fat?
00:17 Who is...
00:22 Who is pretty?
00:24 Who is pregnant?
00:25 What is this?
00:27 Whoever is fat, he is the one who is pregnant.
00:30 Okay, next!
00:32 Okay, in a person who has no fear, no one is tall...
00:36 Tree!
00:38 In a person who has no fear, no one is tall.
00:43 This is so hard!
00:45 I just encountered these.
00:48 What is this?
00:51 There's a floor.
00:53 There's a newspaper.
00:56 There's a newspaper.
00:57 There's a floor.
00:59 There's a newspaper.
01:02 There's a floor.
01:04 I don't know what's the other word.
01:07 Mars! What's next?
01:09 Mars! Debt!
01:13 Maybe all of us have a story about debt, right?
01:19 The businesswoman we know used to be a businesswoman.
01:24 She used to be a businesswoman.
01:25 She just borrowed money.
01:28 In a food park in Carmona, Cavite, you can find Boss Tapa.
01:37 It's open from 4 pm to 8 pm.
01:44 But the owner's income is 25 years old.
01:48 Like a boss!
01:51 Boss Tapa earns 50,000 to 100,000 pesos every month.
01:55 Is it worth it to visit Carmona, Cavite?
02:00 Let's see!
02:02 There's a line.
02:04 Doctor, here.
02:06 Is this Boss Tapa?
02:08 It has a soup.
02:13 It's not like Tapa, it's like Adobo, right?
02:20 It's soft and tasty.
02:22 Julian will boil the meat for 3 hours.
02:27 After leaving the food park every afternoon,
02:33 they will boil the meat again to make it softer and more flavorful.
02:38 It's well-balanced.
02:42 It has the sweetness that a child can have.
02:46 And of course, the flavor that the adults like.
02:49 That's right.
02:50 And it's also very soft.
02:52 They also have Sisig.
02:55 It's the same, but it's sold for 75 pesos for a single order.
02:59 It's 139 pesos if you buy one, take one.
03:02 And they also have Tapa platter for 160 pesos.
03:07 This business of Julian started when he was victimized by a scam online.
03:14 I was scammed.
03:17 I lost more than 100,000 pesos.
03:19 That was my biggest savings.
03:21 I was really out of balance.
03:24 I always have someone to lean on when I'm feeling heavy,
03:30 which is my best friend.
03:32 She said, "What do you really want in life?"
03:34 I said, "I really want to cook."
03:37 Then she said, "Let's do business."
03:39 Tapa is their product because when someone tries their recipe,
03:44 they say it's not good.
03:46 When I was young, I was already fond of cooking.
03:48 I went to my uncle's house because he used to have a rice cooker.
03:51 I learned how to cook there.
03:53 Even if it's still early in the morning, I would still watch him
03:56 so that I can learn.
03:58 And then, until the day came that I learned how to cook.
04:02 But Julian still has a problem.
04:05 It's good that his friend, Mickey, went to the rescue.
04:08 He said, "Let's borrow."
04:11 He said, "We're worth 35,000 pesos if I'm not mistaken."
04:16 For their business, they chose Davilan Food Park.
04:21 It's a project of their LGU so the place is free.
04:24 But when they first started selling tapas,
04:28 they were just passing by people.
04:31 I felt bad because I'm the one who cooks.
04:35 It's my recipe.
04:38 Why is it like that? We're getting free taste. Why don't you like my recipe?
04:41 Because Mickey has a full-time job, he had to leave the business to Julian.
04:46 When he left, it was just right because we already distributed the money
04:49 and there were some stocks left.
04:51 So I had a company from the start.
04:53 The only thing is, we were locked here.
04:55 As in, totally locked for a month.
04:57 Aside from the place where Julian and his partner, Rhea, used to live.
05:02 We were already broke. We don't have money to pay for electricity.
05:06 We don't have money to pay our debts.
05:08 We just eat noodles, put dried fish.
05:12 Because we don't have anything, I was already crying.
05:15 That's why Julian was forced to borrow again.
05:19 This time, he said it's his own doing.
05:21 I said, "Te, maybe I can borrow."
05:24 Because I really believe in the potential of my business.
05:29 Maybe I can borrow 20,000 pesos for something, just to fill up.
05:35 Just a little bit of expenses.
05:36 When the food park reopens and the boss is still working,
05:40 he was accompanied by his life partner, Rhea.
05:43 We'll just sell two.
05:45 Then when we go home, it's better if we'll rest, but no.
05:48 We'll be like this again.
05:50 I'll have to go to the market again in the early morning.
05:54 The work is continuous.
05:56 Rhea was a former head teacher in a private school.
05:58 But she still left the job to accompany Julian.
06:02 Because I saw his potential from the start.
06:07 I really needed to fully support him.
06:10 Because he's the only one.
06:13 As his partner, I need to motivate him to work hard to improve.
06:18 There were times when they were caught in paying their debts.
06:21 I just had to say goodbye to my face.
06:23 I just said, "What? Because there's no sale yet, the store is closed."
06:29 But my best friend's cousin was nice to me.
06:32 They were kind to me.
06:34 They just let me not pay for the food.
06:37 Then I spent my money.
06:39 Hello again!
06:41 This is the most delicious Tamsin I've ever eaten.
06:44 Not long after, there were bloggers who noticed them.
06:48 Auntie, it's delicious.
06:52 Their customers started to come.
06:58 It's delicious, they're happy.
06:59 I succeeded.
07:01 I was able to overcome all the struggles.
07:04 We were able to become partners.
07:06 We're done planting.
07:08 It's time to harvest.
07:10 Before, their business was just a food cart in a food park.
07:13 Now, they have their own place and they're also investors.
07:18 Julia's auntie lent money to them.
07:22 I can now help people.
07:24 I can help other people.
07:27 That's what I want.
07:28 To give jobs to those who don't have jobs.
07:30 The best part is that Julia doesn't have to borrow money.
07:33 It's so fun.
07:35 You can sleep well.
07:37 You just have to think about selling to buy food tomorrow.
07:40 Because you don't have to borrow money anymore.
07:42 Julia's dad's story of debt is a happy ending, right?
07:46 He says,
07:48 If you're going to borrow money,
07:50 make sure that even if you die, you'll pay the person.
07:56 It's hard to earn money.
07:57 You can borrow, but you have to pay.
07:59 Borrowing is different from asking for it.
08:02 I'm going to borrow money.
08:04 I'm going to borrow money.
