00:00Let's talk about Santol.
00:05What is Santol in English?
00:08Santol, we're brothers.
00:11Am I right?
00:13Santol.
00:15Give a hint that Santol can be used.
00:18Sinigang.
00:20It can be used in fishing.
00:25But Santol is online.
00:27It has become popular to make Ginataan.
00:33The leading man is Richard Gomez, who is loved by many.
00:37He has his own version of cooking in Santol.
00:41We are going to cook Sinantolan.
00:51Delicious.
00:53No need to be famous for making videos online.
00:56Ethel and Alejandra Rao are the ones who are in charge of your Santol cravings.
01:08Ethel's simple search for Santol back then
01:11paved the way for them to think of starting a business.
01:15When I was about to throw away the skin,
01:18when I was embarrassed,
01:20I thought it was delicious to make Sinantol,
01:22but I've never cooked Sinantol before.
01:23So I called my aunt in Bolillo Island,
01:28and my mother,
01:30they are the ones who really cook Sinantol.
01:32They taught me.
01:34I tried, I only cooked 3 kilos of skin.
01:37Ethel tried to make her own seasoning.
01:40I let my cousins try it at home.
01:43When MACQ was allowed to enter,
01:45I brought a few pieces to the staff in the office.
01:48They liked it.
01:50I also joked,
01:52can I sell it?
01:54I think it was 50 pesos per kilo.
01:57So I cooked 3 kilos.
02:00I really wanted to compliment myself,
02:03that I'm good at cooking.
02:05Sinantol was not for sale.
02:08She just wanted to taste it.
02:10It became a sideline for her husband.
02:12So I started making Sinantol.
02:14That's it.
02:16At that time,
02:17I was a freelance programmer.
02:19I had a lot of time to help my husband
02:21in his business.
02:23I was happy because we were able to open a small business.
02:25So everything I learned in IT,
02:29I used it to support my husband.
02:32Even in marketing and social media,
02:34I handled it all.
02:36To keep up with their daily work,
02:39they pre-ordered what they discarded.
02:42My capital was only 300 pesos.
02:441 kilo was 50 pesos at that time.
02:45So 3 kilos was 150 pesos.
02:47Then coconut milk,
02:49and the small ingredients,
02:51about 300 pesos.
02:53So you can make 15 to 20.
02:55That's it.
02:57I cook every Saturday.
02:59Then I deliver it on Saturday or by Monday
03:01to my colleagues or online.
03:05Until weekly,
03:07it's increasing.
03:11In Ethel's version of Sinantol,
03:12she will just boil the coconut milk.
03:14She will add garlic, sugar, pepper,
03:17tamarind, long green chilies,
03:19and the Santol that was already cooked.
03:24We have a store in Laguna
03:26that is already cooked.
03:28We can estimate
03:30if our stock is good for one year.
03:32We have a stock room in Quezon City.
03:35She will boil or ferment the Santol
03:37so it won't break easily.
03:39We need to cook it for a long time
03:41so the coconut milk will become oil
03:43and the oil will help
03:45the shelf life of the product.
03:50She will just boil it
03:52until the stock is oily.
03:54Then she will let it cool
03:56and then she will bottle it.
04:00I'm already happy
04:02by the time I'm 50.
04:04I'm already lucky if I can reach 50.
04:07Along with the high demand,
04:08the difficulty in business
04:10started to decrease.
04:12That's why Ethel and Aljon
04:14stopped selling their Sinantol.
04:19Meanwhile,
04:21their small business
04:23didn't stop.
04:27Our goal is to help
04:29those who are in need.
04:31Since we are farming,
04:33we want to have our own house.
04:35It's a hard life.
04:36It's not enough
04:38that we have our own jobs.
04:40We need to increase our income.
04:42Especially if the demand is high.
04:44Of course,
04:46you will double your income.
04:48Their Sinantol
04:50started to help online.
04:52To be more effective
04:54in their business,
04:56they became smarter
04:58in dividing their time.
05:00We always order until Sunday,
05:02straight 7 days.
05:03Now,
05:05we have a day off
05:07on Sunday.
05:09On Monday and Tuesday,
05:11we only have a little work
05:13or production.
05:15It's important to rest.
05:17For example,
05:19when we go to the market
05:21or when we get supplies,
05:23we order everything online.
05:25In the past,
05:27there were only 5 tubs.
05:29Now, there are 100 bottles.
05:31Since 30 tubs,
05:33we need to produce
05:35500 to 600 tubs
05:37per week.
05:39Since it's Sinantol season,
05:41we need to know how to cook
05:43using Sinantol.
05:45I will show you.
05:47Let's get Sinantol.
05:49Since the version of Ginataang Sinantol
05:51is left and right,
05:53will the people like me
05:55get caught?
05:57Here it is,
05:59the shrimp.
06:01There are more because
06:03it's Sinantol.
06:05Sinantolang Magastos.
06:12Presenting
06:14the Sinantolang Magastos
06:16a la Susant.
06:19Aside from being able
06:21to take care of their family,
06:23this became a big thing
06:24for Ethel and John
06:26to be able to build a business.
06:28It helped us
06:30to build a house.
06:32In a month,
06:34we earn P100+.
06:36Maybe P90 to P100.
06:38That's the net.
06:41They earn P170
06:43per bottle of Sinantol.
06:45The discount
06:47for the ongoing business?
06:49Even though
06:51we earn
06:52what we call
06:54a day job,
06:56it doesn't end there.
06:58If we see an opportunity
07:00outside work,
07:02outside day job,
07:04let's grab it.
07:06We still have a lot to learn.
07:08If you have a big support system,
07:10even if it's your wife,
07:12brother, or family,
07:14you will succeed.
07:16Because the business is flourishing,
07:18Norris added
07:20the aesthetic of her restaurant
07:22to her food.
07:24That's why her diner
07:26is called Dinarayo.
07:28It's a simple pancit
07:30that's always delicious.
07:32That's what Caroline's product
07:34invented.
07:36That's why it became
07:38her dream.
07:40She's already working
07:42and doing business.
07:44Ethel and John

07:48to be successful
07:50in work and business.
