00:00Where will your 10 Pesos go?
00:06Here in this place, where 10 Pesos is worth,
00:11you have rice,
00:13you have food,
00:17that's why for students, employees, or even just for fun,
00:23this is a go-to place.
00:26Where else? Pastilna!
00:28Pastilna!
00:32This is not in Quiapo, but in Dapitan,
00:36where pastil, which is a 21-year-old's specialty, is sold.
00:42Aside from the 10 Pesos, it's delicious, clean, and I'm already full.
00:48The taste is still there, even if the price is budget-minimum.
00:52But selling pastil is not just about pastime.
00:55Yuan has a lot of savings.
01:00His education.
01:02I stopped for 2 years,
01:04and I was planning to apply to a public school
01:08so that I can save up for my pastil.
01:14Yuan used to be a scholar in a private school.
01:18He took a civil engineering course.
01:20But because he didn't get the degree he needed,
01:23he was removed from the scholarship.
01:26Yuan and his brother grew up studying in a private school.
01:30Their needs were met by their mother,
01:35who was a call center agent.
01:37But when the younger brother went to senior high,
01:41and Yuan to college,
01:43their mother started having a hard time budgeting.
01:48As the eldest,
01:49Yuan chose to support his own studies.
01:54When I stopped, I did pastil for 5 months.
01:58Then in 2023, I found a job in a fast food crew.
02:04I worked there for 10 months.
02:06I found a job in a call center.
02:09It took a long time to get a call.
02:11It's very hard for a single mom.
02:15You can't educate them.
02:18That's why I don't know how to educate them.
02:25But of course,
02:30you still need to find a way.
02:40But it wasn't easy for Yuan to become a working student.
02:44That's why a few months later,
02:47he decided to stop studying.
02:50The biggest struggle for me was
02:54having to pay for household expenses and savings.
03:01Yuan promised himself
03:03that he wouldn't waste the time he was given.
03:06Instead, he would save money to get a job again.
03:11That's when he decided to cook and sell pastil.
03:16But why pastil?
03:18According to my uncle,
03:20he was the one who came up with the idea of pastil.
03:23We wanted something that's affordable for everyone.
03:28Pastil is not easy to make.
03:32First, we'll boil the chicken breast for 20 minutes.
03:41From boiling the chicken
03:45until the chicken is tender,
03:50and from cooking the chicken until the seasoning is dry,
03:55you'll cook it for 10 to 15 minutes
03:59so that the sauce sticks to the chicken.
04:02You also need to wrap the chicken.
04:05Yuan makes more than 100 pastils every day.
04:13He wraps it manually with banana leaves.
04:18With the amount of pastils Yuan wraps,
04:21a few percent of it is already reserved for those who placed an advance order.
04:26In demand!
04:28At around 4 p.m., Yuan will set up his pastil shop
04:34in his small place in Dapitan.
04:37Because the price dropped to 10 pesos,
04:40his parochial friends keep coming back.
04:43How many?
04:45Two.
04:47I really want to graduate.
04:49Because in my family,
04:51no one has graduated from college yet.
04:53I want to graduate from college.
04:55I have dreams for my parents,
04:58a house,
05:00and a good life.
05:02Yuan used to earn 800 pesos a day,
05:06but now, it's doubled.
05:09From selling pastils,
05:11Yuan now has more than 20,000 pesos.
05:17Just a little bit of tumbling,
05:19and he'll be able to enroll in the next school year.
05:23Because of your hard work,
05:25our good news is,
05:27there are more pastils for you to save.
05:29I'll just save it first,
05:31then it's up to the entrance exam.
05:33Thank you very much.
05:36Most of the time,
05:38some people give up their discards or diplomas.
05:41But for Yuan,
05:43it can be both, right?
05:45He'll do all the discards
05:47so that he can use the diploma he's been longing for.
