00:00 We have a new challenge for today's video.
00:04 And for sure, I haven't done this in my entire life.
00:08 Here at Pera Paraan.
00:10 In one minute, I need to wear this jewelry set.
00:17 It has a necklace, ring, earring, and bracelet.
00:22 We always wear jewelry, so...
00:24 Susan, fight!
00:28 Timer starts now!
00:30 Oh no, how do I wear this?
00:32 I'll wear this.
00:34 In one minute, in one minute, in one minute.
00:37 In one minute.
00:38 In one minute, in one minute.
00:41 Wait!
00:47 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:48 It's hard.
00:49 It's hard.
00:51 Here it is.
00:52 There.
00:53 It's complete.
00:58 And speaking of jewelry,
01:00 did you know that Kyla has already used up 1 million kita
01:05 because of these "abot kaya" items?
01:09 Meet Kyla, 22 years old from Antipolo City.
01:24 Just by wearing clothes and making your body look good,
01:27 you can already know what kind of beauty she has.
01:29 Kyla's accessories were already a part of her life when she was young.
01:34 I think my mom had a big influence on me.
01:37 Because growing up, she was the first one to sell accessories,
01:41 beaded accessories, and stuff like that.
01:43 She bought me a whole roll of rubber, I think,
01:48 and then charms.
01:50 Being a certified "kikai" and "kabugera" of the year
01:54 was what made her successful in her business.
01:56 Kyla was only 18 years old when she started her business.
02:00 It started in 2018 after I graduated senior high school.
02:05 Our summer there was a bit long
02:08 because college was still in August
02:10 and I was so bored at home.
02:11 My dad borrowed me some money for capital
02:15 to start my business
02:17 because I wanted jewelry since I got rich when I was in high school.
02:22 So I was selling chokers, black, and stuff like that.
02:26 Her discount in her business was enough for her parents.
02:31 They had bags and accessories,
02:34 and my dad had a food cart.
02:37 Using the 20,000 pesos that Kyla borrowed from her parents,
02:41 she started her jewelry business.
02:43 But since she was still studying, it wasn't easy
02:47 because she had to study and do business at the same time.
02:50 I was always at school, eating, sleeping, and doing everything.
02:54 There was a time when I was in class,
02:57 my teacher was calling me,
02:59 and I was like, "Who is this?"
03:02 And then I realized it was my customer.
03:04 I hadn't shipped out her order yet.
03:06 So I was like, "I'll ship it out tomorrow, I'm just in class."
03:09 Even though it was hard, Kyla said she'd just go for it.
03:13 There was a time when I was in school,
03:17 I was in LRT, and I was replying to inquiries.
03:20 And then when I got to school, I would break time and fix orders.
03:24 But because Kyla's schedule wasn't carried,
03:27 she decided to stop at college and focus on her business.
03:32 In the beginning, you don't want to do it.
03:34 Traditionally, Filipinos want to finish everything.
03:37 Even if you're successful here, you still have other things to finish.
03:40 I was still sad. I thought I could finish all my children.
03:44 I can't say I'm open-minded,
03:47 but things happen for a reason.
03:50 And I guess the reason is for this to grow.
03:54 The Gold-plated personalized accessories and inspired collections of Kyla
03:58 are priced from Php 150 to Php 599.
04:06 This includes a bracelet,
04:08 a bell,
04:10 a coin,
04:13 and a bracelet with different designs.
04:17 But they also have accessories with engraved pictures, initials, and a jewelry set.
04:22 When I started this, I was a student.
04:24 I always questioned myself, "Will I release this? Is this something I can buy?"
04:29 I personally use my own products.
04:32 We make sure that our price point is in the middle.
04:35 It's the right price for all the materials and quality.
04:41 We have an expert to examine Kyla's gold-plated jewelry.
04:48 Let's call our expert, Carla.
04:51 Carla is our jewelry expert.
04:54 Let's show her.
04:55 Carla, these gold-plated jewelry, are they safe to use?
05:03 They are safe. They are nickel-free and non-tarnish.
05:07 What does "non-tarnish" mean?
05:10 It means that they are high-quality, rust-resistant, and hypoallergenic.
05:16 So, these are safe even for kids?
05:19 Yes.
05:20 Especially now that we're saving money.
05:22 We want to make it affordable but of high quality.
05:26 So, we can say that the quality of these is okay?
05:28 Yes.
05:29 The quality of these is good.
05:32 Kyla's jewelry lasts longer.
05:37 It depends on how you use it.
05:39 Kyla has something for me.
05:42 Since jewelry with pictures and initials are popular,
05:46 they will show us how to make it.
05:48 First, we will lay out the picture or letter on the computer.
05:53 We will make it black so that it will be more visible in the printing.
05:56 We will adjust the size and shape according to the customer's wish.
06:01 Then, we will print it using a laser engraving machine.
06:04 It's fast and easy, right?
06:07 Wow! This is beautiful.
06:15 Wow!
06:16 This is beautiful.
06:18 Made to shine.
06:20 And it has a name.
06:23 It has a picture.
06:26 This is me.
06:27 This is me. My face.
06:28 This is me. It's me.
06:30 This is me.
06:31 This is great.
06:32 It's expensive.
06:34 This is beautiful.
06:36 This is beautiful.
06:37 You can give this as a gift.
06:40 Your customer will be happy.
06:42 They will see their face on this.
06:44 This is beautiful.
06:45 The previous one-to-one order every day,
06:57 now, there are more.
07:00 During the pandemic, Kyla's business grew stronger.
07:03 She said she was doing her own effort.
07:06 She is the designer, photographer, and editor of the products she will post online.
07:10 I always post new products.
07:13 Because if you post products slowly, they can catch up.
07:16 I listen to my customers a lot.
07:18 So even if someone just comments like that,
07:21 you know, it's like no one really supported her suggestion.
07:26 I will still do it.
07:27 Because it's important for me that they feel that someone is listening to them.
07:31 Because of this, Kyla's business is one of the top sellers on online selling platforms.
07:36 One year after Kyla opened her jewelry business,
07:40 they made a profit of 1 million.
07:42 Yes, I am blessed.
07:44 But I wouldn't say I'm lucky.
07:45 Because it's all backed up by hard work.
07:48 I'm really thankful for my parents because
07:50 I'm not exactly the best child either.
07:54 Maybe that's why I work really hard.
07:56 So I can repay them.
07:58 Their support is very important to me.
08:01 Especially as a mother.
08:04 I'm super proud of her.
08:06 I know that I saw all the hard work and effort she put in.
08:10 I'm so thankful that we were blessed by a daughter like you.
08:15 To love her parents.
08:17 With Kyla's continued strength in her business,
08:20 they have their own house, office, and warehouse.
08:24 They also have two branches, a research design and marketing team.
08:28 But the real challenge is that Kyla will reach it in a few years.
08:33 She plans to return to studying.
08:35 If you have the means, don't stop.
08:39 Because it's still different if you're able to study.
08:41 If you have a business and you want to do business,
08:44 you need to strengthen your belief in yourself.
08:47 You need to turn your perspective.
08:50 "Oh, I'm tired. But this is what I've been asking for."
08:53 "For the longest time, this is what I want to do."
08:56 So why stop now?
