00:00 From P250 to P109,000,
00:05 that's what a couple's bill said
00:08 in a construction that was asked for a lot.
00:11 So they investigated the construction.
00:15 Get this video from a plate in Banaue, Quezon City
00:23 when the couple's senior citizen,
00:26 Vicky and Gerald, was making a car.
00:30 They were expecting to pay only P6,000.
00:33 But when they asked for it,
00:35 their bill reached P100,000.
00:39 Oh no! What happened?
00:41 Our intention was to change the oil.
00:44 But someone approached us.
00:46 I felt sorry for him because he said he didn't have a job,
00:50 he didn't have food.
00:51 He offered a visor.
00:52 But he said he doesn't have a rain visor,
00:55 but it's in the shop.
00:56 But when they arrived at the auto shop,
00:58 they were treated differently.
01:01 The owners laughed at their auto.
01:05 How much is that?
01:06 It's cheap, you can eat that.
01:09 Vicky and Gerald are both retired,
01:13 so they couldn't do anything
01:15 when they were asked for P100,000.
01:18 We paid P101,000.
01:20 That's the element of being old.
01:24 It's like we were fooled.
01:25 We expected too much from the kind people
01:27 and we thought they wouldn't do that.
01:30 That's why the couple took action.
01:34 We reported it to the Mayor through email
01:36 and the DTI acted.
01:38 Because of this,
01:39 P70,000 was returned to Gerald and Vicky.
01:44 The couple also reached an agreement
01:47 with the owner of the auto shop.
01:49 To my mind, I have forgiven him.
01:51 He should have been punished.
01:52 But he shouldn't have been punished again.
01:53 Our team also tried
01:55 to convince the owner of the auto shop
01:58 but he refused to give them their money.
02:01 Dear viewers,
02:04 now that the prices of goods are rising,
02:07 will you allow yourself to be overpriced?
02:10 How can you witness this situation?
02:15 That's what we will find out in our experiment.
02:20 You're overpriced.
02:23 In a store, we will do our first scene
02:27 where our shop will change the price
02:31 and make the price of vegetables overpriced.
02:34 Carrots, 250 pesos.
02:36 Overpriced, 2.
02:37 Let's roll the Good News Camera.
02:40 Ma'am, vegetables and fruits, ma'am.
02:43 Your carrots are expensive.
02:44 250 pesos per kilo?
02:46 Yes, ma'am.
02:46 250 pesos per kilo, ma'am.
02:48 That's too much.
02:49 It's even rotten.
02:50 It's ruined.
02:52 It's expensive.
02:52 250.
02:53 A woman approached the store.
02:56 Isn't this expensive?
02:58 250 pesos per kilo?
02:59 Yes, I'll just buy it.
03:00 120.
03:01 Ma'am, it's still yesterday.
03:03 Hold on, hold on.
03:04 Hold on your carrots.
03:05 250 pesos.
03:06 It's ugly.
03:07 We can't do anything, ma'am.
03:09 That's the price, ma'am.
03:10 Hold on, ma'am.
03:12 250 pesos per kilo?
03:13 When the price is being lowered,
03:16 the woman is very reluctant.
03:18 I thought it was a type of vegetable.
03:21 I asked what type of vegetable.
03:24 She said carrots.
03:25 I thought it was expensive.
03:27 No, it should be equal.
03:29 The price of the other one.
03:32 That's how I saw it.
03:33 Let's level up the scene.
03:37 Our second experiment.
03:39 Are you ready to help
03:41 if you see a person who's cutting?
03:43 In this scene,
03:46 there's a sister who's eating for the first time in a restaurant.
03:51 Ma'am, what can I get for you?
03:53 Our budolerang waitress
03:55 will feed them.
03:58 What can I recommend?
04:00 Just cheap.
04:00 What do you want?
04:02 We have crispy pata, ma'am.
04:03 Maybe you want crispy pata.
04:04 Okay.
04:05 It's just cheap, ma'am.
04:06 It's just cheap.
04:06 I can't eat pata.
04:08 Maybe you want shrimp, ma'am.
04:09 Okay.
04:10 Who likes pancit, ma'am?
04:11 Maybe you like pancit.
04:13 We also have pancit.
04:14 Ma'am, we have soup.
04:15 Maybe you want sinigang?
04:16 Okay.
04:16 There's a lot.
04:18 I can't eat it all.
04:20 It's just cheap.
04:21 The budget said it's cheap.
04:23 Php 5,000?
04:25 Why is it so cheap?
04:27 That's our price, ma'am.
04:28 You said it's cheap.
04:30 It's just cheap.
04:30 Yes.
04:31 Why is it so expensive?
04:32 Php 5,000?
04:33 Why is it so expensive?
04:33 Ma'am, you ordered a lot.
04:35 She said it's just cheap.
04:37 It's just cheap.
04:38 But you ordered a lot.
04:39 I told you that you're eating for the first time.
04:42 That's what we served.
04:43 When the customer and waitress's answer was heard,
04:46 the waitress who's been listening to the competition for a while,
04:49 couldn't help but to know.
04:51 I still have nothing to do.
04:53 How many are you going to eat?
04:54 Just two, ma'am.
04:55 You ordered two of those.
04:57 They're just standing.
04:58 You know what?
04:59 What can my budget handle?
05:01 This is okay, ma'am.
05:02 Give me that.
05:04 This is what, ma'am.
05:05 You're just eating two.
05:07 You ordered a lot.
05:08 You can hear it.
05:08 That's why, ma'am.
05:09 But they're just standing.
05:11 Actually, yes.
05:12 They're just standing.
05:13 They're just standing.
05:14 That's why, ma'am.
05:15 They're just standing.
05:16 I didn't order.
05:17 You saw that they're just standing.
05:18 You can eat that much.
05:20 Wait.
05:21 Okay.
05:22 You can eat.
05:22 You can eat freely.
05:23 Whatever you want.
05:24 Good news.
05:25 Thank you, my dear.
05:26 For your help.
05:28 Because I heard her earlier.
05:30 Their conversation was intimidating.
05:32 It's a pity.
05:33 The money is only 2,000.
05:35 It's a pity.
05:36 She's embarrassing.
05:37 I thought, I have money.
05:39 I'll just buy it.
05:40 There are people who are really easy to fool.
05:44 They're really easy to get into something.
05:47 There are a lot of people who are complaining.
05:50 The others are quiet.
05:52 They don't know that they were fooled.
05:53 Later on, they'll know that they were fooled
05:56 when they compare or there's someone who's better than them.
05:59 The law protects the right of consumers
06:02 for the fair price of goods.
06:05 In Republic Act 7581 or the Price Act,
06:09 illegal price manipulation is prohibited
06:12 or the price is above the mandated price ceiling.
06:16 Anyone who's proven to have fallen into this
06:19 can be jailed.
06:21 So, my dear,
06:22 remember,
06:23 the profit of the other party is bad.
06:26 Let's be fair to each other.
06:29 So, what comes back to us
06:31 is not punishment.
06:32 Okay.
06:33 You can eat.
06:33 You can eat freely.
06:34 Whatever you want.
06:35 Good news.
06:35 But,
06:36 good karma.
