00:00It's Saturday! Laba-laba day!
00:03We need to wash ourselves.
00:05Oh my, we have kamarites here.
00:08It's nice to wash ourselves with kamarites.
00:10Come here.
00:11Let's wash ourselves.
00:12It's good that there are strong drops of water here.
00:16Where's the soap? I don't have soap.
00:18Do you have soap?
00:19Here's the soap.
00:20There.
00:21It's nice to wash ourselves.
00:22The water is dripping, right?
00:24Yes.
00:25There.
00:26It's nice to wash ourselves.
00:27The water is dripping, right?
00:29Yes.
00:30You don't have to pay anything, right?
00:32I don't have to pay anything.
00:34You don't have to pay anything, right?
00:40There.
00:43Oh my, it's itchy.
00:46You know, it's itchy to wash ourselves.
00:48It's painful here.
00:51It's painful on the back.
00:53It's painful on the back.
00:54It's painful on the back.
00:55Do you think it's easy to wash?
00:57Oh my, our problem has been solved, right?
01:00Do you know, I met a businessman.
01:03Christian.
01:04He sells his washing machine all day
01:08for P150 to P200 per day.
01:14Really?
01:15We can sell it.
01:16We can do it together.
01:17Let's split it.
01:20So, let's bring Christian here.
01:25There.
01:27Magic.
01:28Did you think I would come here to Ilong ng Indang?
01:31This won't be itchy, right?
01:34There.
01:42For my mother and brothers and sisters from the town of Santa Cruz, Laguna,
01:46well, you are the ones who helped all the women.
01:51Because Christian's business is washing machine rental,
01:53you can avail it anytime, any day.
01:56All thanks to Mama Ruby,
01:58who is the reason why Christian bought a washing machine.
02:00My brother and I saved money
02:02because my mother had a hard time washing by herself.
02:04That's why we thought of buying her a washing machine.
02:09The washing machine is for family use.
02:11Their extended family also uses it.
02:13Sharing is caring, right?
02:15My aunt, because we are neighbors,
02:18she said,
02:19Christian, you can pay for your washing machine.
02:21I'll just pay you.
02:22She said, I'll just pay you.
02:23I said, I'll pay you.
02:24It's not like the washing machine is for free.
02:26When I got the washing machine,
02:27she paid me around Php 100.
02:31I said, let's try to put it for free.
02:33Then my brother's friend said,
02:35it's also for free.
02:36That's how it started.
02:38Christian started selling washing machines in December 2016.
02:42After two months,
02:43he bought a new washing machine.
02:46Until every month,
02:47he bought one by one.
02:50The rent was only Php 100 to Php 120 per day.
02:54But after a few months,
02:56when many people started renting and using it,
02:58the washing machines started to break down.
03:01It usually breaks down because of the timers.
03:03It's not allowed to buy a new one.
03:04Sometimes, when kids play,
03:05they do this and that.
03:06That's why the timer breaks down.
03:08And the dryer is limited
03:10because it's always broken.
03:13That's why it always breaks down.
03:15Sometimes, we use the lowest price.
03:17In labor, it's already Php 300.
03:19And for the parts,
03:21it's Php 500 to Php 1,000 plus.
03:23It's only broken once.
03:25Even if it's broken,
03:26they still don't pay the customers
03:28for the broken washing machine.
03:30You can't ask the customer to pay for it.
03:33Because once you ask the customer to pay for it,
03:35it's broken.
03:36It won't happen again.
03:37That's when we decided to continue
03:40because we're broke.
03:42The problem with washing machines
03:43is that they think of a solution.
03:45Instead of always asking the repair shop to fix it,
03:47their brother, Fortunato,
03:49taught them how to fix it.
03:51We really taught him
03:53how to compose himself.
03:54When we learned,
03:56our sales increased.
04:01That's why whenever the washing machine breaks down,
04:03Christian always fixes it.
04:06That's why Good Choice,
04:07which is a brand and model of a washing machine,
04:09bought it
04:10so that they can fix it
04:13as well as the parts
04:14that are used and replaced.
04:18This is where Christian's business
04:20started to grow.
04:22His business is well-known
04:24inside and outside of their barangay.
04:27They also increased their rental fee
04:29but free pickup and delivery.
04:32Even if it's far,
04:34we can deliver 1 to 2 kilometers.
04:37So it became 150 to 250 pesos
04:41depending on the location.
04:42If the washing machine is delivered,
04:45they will pay for it.
04:47It's easy for us to rent.
04:49It's easy to contact.
04:50The price is okay
04:52because it's in the afternoon.
04:55If you want to use it at night,
04:57you can use it at night.
04:58Since our washing machine broke down,
05:00I thought of renting a washing machine.
05:03It's been a long time since 2022.
05:05Then weekly,
05:07I wash it.
05:10It's a big help to mommies like me.
05:14It's worth it.
05:16Christian's customers are not the only ones
05:18who help him.
05:19Even his other relatives
05:20can make his life easier.
05:21Sometimes, I pick them up
05:23when I'm short of people.
05:24Repairmen, deliverymen,
05:26and my brother.
05:27The two of us help each other.
05:30They also make sure
05:31that the washing machines
05:32are always in good condition
05:33through a daily maintenance check.
05:36Every weekday,
05:37they rent 10-15 washing machines.
05:40Every weekend,
05:41they rent 20-30 washing machines.
05:47That's why Christian's income
05:49fluctuates between
05:51Php40,000 to Php50,000
05:54every month.
05:57It's like he has more businesses.
06:00He has a repair shop
06:01that he built last year.
06:03He also has a printing shop business.
06:05He also sells native wallies,
06:07tambo, and kalandi uling.
06:10Christian's blessings
06:11are also passed on to his family.
06:14In the past,
06:15we only had one tricycle
06:16to deliver.
06:17Now, we have four.
06:19We have one in Calamba,
06:20in Los Baños,
06:21and in Bae.
06:22I also built a house.
06:24I also helped my sister
06:26in Masbate.
06:28I also taught her
06:29how to rent a house.
06:30Now, we also have a rental
06:32for my sister.
06:33For those who dream of starting a business,
06:35here are Christian's tips.
06:37For me,
06:38starting a business
06:39is not a joke.
06:40I also started from scratch.
06:43If you're just starting,
06:44keep going.
06:45Don't give up.
06:46You'll struggle
06:48but don't give up.
06:50That's where you'll see
06:51your determination
06:52in finding a life.
06:53You'll get it step by step.
06:55Find the problem
06:56and find a solution.
07:00All problems
07:01have a solution.
07:02Learn from the obstacles
07:04so that success
07:06is sure to come.
