00:00 A 19-year-old grade 12 student started a business in Cuchinillo and Lechon Belly.
00:06 He has also founded his own figure and has 20 employees.
00:14 The Gen Z negotiator earns...
00:18 We earn 60 cents a month.
00:22 And on Christmas and holidays, we earn more.
00:29 Age is just a number.
00:31 Because Baguette is a businessman.
00:34 In the culinary capital of the Philippines, Pampanga,
00:43 the name of the business is being created by the Gen Z, JC.
00:47 The main character of this second year college student is...
00:52 He is a culinary student.
00:54 Because while he is studying, he is doing business.
00:58 Two years ago, he started the Cuchinillo and Lechon Belly business.
01:02 At an early age, you can really get used to JC because he knows what he wants to do.
01:08 For me, it's better to be younger because we still have a lot of time.
01:13 We can still fail.
01:15 For example, when you are young, you are old and you have a child.
01:20 How did you start doing business and then fail?
01:23 You don't have a rest back.
01:25 Like my parents, I still have a rest back.
01:28 I can still eat even if I quit my business.
01:32 I still have a backup.
01:35 Before this business, he started selling meat in front of their house.
01:42 I just started selling meat.
01:45 Then I have a lot of pork for lechon belly.
01:52 I like to cook, so I tried it.
01:55 I also tried it with my friends.
01:58 I asked my friends for feedback on what can be changed.
02:02 I got the right seasoning and I put it in the market.
02:07 But before he got the right seasoning, a lot of pork were burned and wasted.
02:13 I started it in February 2021.
02:17 I still did online classes while studying on my laptop.
02:24 I also cook.
02:25 The hardest part was when I started, I woke up at 1am to go to the market.
02:31 Then I cook.
02:34 I'm the only one who delivers.
02:38 Using P3,000 and a turbo oven, JC finished his dream business.
02:45 I started with a turbo oven, now we have 5 industrial ovens.
02:50 The right seasoning of pork that JC discovered, he will teach us now.
02:57 The seasonings, salt, different spices that are secret, pepper and vinegar.
03:02 And then we will mix it with the pork.
03:05 Next, we will add garlic, onion, onion licks and tanglad.
03:09 Mix it again.
03:13 Our pork is 2 to 3 months old.
03:16 So that the taste is soft because it was young.
03:22 So the pork we use today is native.
03:25 It also came from our farm.
03:27 And why is it native?
03:29 Because the native pork is long-cooked.
03:32 For the skin, he is sprinkling soy sauce to make it tasty.
03:38 Now we will put foil so that the skin and the ears will not be toasted.
03:44 We will set it in the oven at 185 degrees Celsius for 3 hours.
03:55 And every 30 minutes, we will put oil so that it will be more crispy.
03:59 After 3 hours, the pork is cooked.
04:04 This pork should be consumed before 5 hours.
04:08 Because it is young, it will be cooked quickly and the skin is thin.
04:12 So let's eat!
04:15 The pork that is made into pork chops, JC does not have to buy anymore.
04:20 Because he has also set up his own pig farm.
04:24 Now we are in the pig farm.
04:27 This is where we raise the pork that we make.
04:31 The food they eat here is natural.
04:34 We do not use feeds.
04:36 Like this, it is a pig's stomach because it has a high protein.
04:40 Then we have a lot of vegetables there.
04:43 The rejects that we feed them.
04:47 It's like their vitamins.
04:49 And we use native so that the pork is longer cooked and more tasty.
04:58 I was thinking about how to expand.
05:01 Sometimes I run out of pork.
05:04 So it would be nice if I could farm even if it is a bit expensive at first.
05:09 But it will be cheaper and I will earn more.
05:12 Of course, the income is higher because the pork is mine.
05:16 At the age of 21, JC is already helping a lot.
05:20 He has been helping for 20 years in lettuce and figure.
05:24 And believe it or not, JC's business is making a lot of money.
05:30 We earn 60 bucks a month.
05:34 And on Christmas and holidays, he is more excited.
05:39 But before all this, it was not easy for JC to be a young businessman.
05:46 It was challenging because I was young.
05:50 I was not like the others who doubted me because I was young.
05:55 I was young, I was in business. I was just studying.
05:58 What I realized there is that there are few people who will support you at first.
06:04 But in the end, many will congratulate you if you are successful.
06:08 Even if there are people who doubt, JC is better because he has inspiration.
06:14 Maybe my mom is my number one.
06:17 She is a single mom. I became her partner.
06:21 Because my two brothers are married and have other lives.
06:27 That's why I'm the one who is building her apartment.
06:31 With a lot of responsibility, you can just ask.
06:35 How did JC manage to combine business and studies?
06:39 Spill the tea!
06:40 For me, the most important system is time management.
06:46 My schedule is in the morning, I go to the farm.
06:49 Afternoon, I go to school.
06:53 Afternoon, I study until night.
06:59 Before I go to sleep, I plan what I will do tomorrow.
07:04 JC's advice to young businessmen like him?
07:08 When they are discouraged and they just keep doing what they are doing,
07:13 they focus on their goals and develop the mindset of being an entrepreneur.
07:20 Business is not about age.
07:23 Whether you are young or old, as long as you want it, you can do it.
07:28 Oh!
