00:00In the length of Moriones Tondo, this food is said to be sound.
00:09Not only the crispy skin that is chewy,
00:13but also the inside is really delicious.
00:18There is also a hot soup on the side.
00:22Let's eat!
00:24Viral online.
00:25My favorite is Kalimderia.
00:27My mother's lechon kawali is one of the most delicious I've ever eaten.
00:35And this is the boiled one.
00:38This is their lechon kawali for 100 pesos.
00:44And the boiled pork for 80 pesos.
00:50It's just a soup shop. I just eat here.
00:53Then they already ate.
00:54There's nothing to say. Their food is really good.
00:58This shop is open 24 hours a day.
01:04If I can see you here everyday, it's okay.
01:08How can this be a shop?
01:10She's already 64 years old.
01:18Last year, the first one to know the good news was Elsie.
01:22I just wear this. My knee hurts.
01:25I can't walk properly.
01:27Without this, it's hard for me to walk.
01:30This is a medicine for high blood, diabetes, and heart.
01:36I prepare this so that when I eat a little, I can drink.
01:41So that I don't get a lot of hiccups.
01:46I use this.
01:47Two in the morning and two in the evening.
01:53Even though it's hard for her to walk, she's still eager to sell.
01:57Good morning.
01:58Even when her children tell her to do so.
02:01When I don't go to the store, I feel like my body is looking for me.
02:05I have to go out.
02:07Even though my knee hurts.
02:09Because I want to see if I get a bump or not.
02:15Because of her age and hard to move,
02:19she used to cook lechon for almost an hour.
02:24And she removes the dirt from the pork.
02:28Now, she's the only one who eats and tastes what her employees cook.
02:34We make our lechon kawaliho delicious.
02:37So that it's crispy and delicious.
02:43That's what our customers are looking for.
02:45So that there's a soup.
02:49That's the pork belly.
02:50So you have to clean it before you serve it.
02:53I really taste it.
02:54I smell it.
02:58Even though it's hard for her situation,
03:00her mother doesn't let go of her business.
03:03In fact, she's been on the road for three decades.
03:08She longs for the taste of the masses.
03:11But it's not easy.
03:14My debt was left and right.
03:16I thought college was just like that.
03:18But it's not.
03:19The tuition is also increasing.
03:20That's why her husband is happy.
03:24They started selling lechon kawali and tumbong.
03:28These foods are for the masses.
03:31That's why they believed that if this is what they sell,
03:35it will surely be a hit.
03:37My husband used to help me.
03:40He would take out our cart.
03:43He would put it in the middle like that.
03:45Then he would go to work.
03:48But in 2012,
03:50they were happy together
03:52when her husband recovered from his illness.
03:57He had diabetes.
03:59His leg was cut.
04:01It was complicated.
04:03I was the only one who told him
04:05when he was about to die
04:07that I will take care of your children.
04:10He closed his eyes.
04:15And he became a new body
04:17to his youngest son, Jomel.
04:20We really lacked something at that time.
04:23But my mom made me feel like a mother and a father at the same time.
04:30After the pandemic,
04:32our income was low.
04:34My mom encouraged me.
04:37Just go out and sell.
04:39If we sell in the morning,
04:41just sell it in the evening.
04:43It's worth all the effort and sacrifice
04:46because from the 5,000 sales every day before,
04:50it increased and now earns almost 13,000.
04:56Even though they are just employees,
04:58they are still very grateful to them.
05:01Thank you so much.
05:03Because I'm not the only one who is helping.
05:06My family is also helping.
05:08When I was still studying in high school,
05:10I started working for him.
05:11I learned a lot from him about cooking.
05:14But what she is most thankful for
05:18is that her two children graduated from college
05:21and were able to build their own house.
05:25From a small store back then
05:27to a well-known restaurant now,
05:29the secret of her business?
05:32You just have to persevere.
05:34First and foremost,
05:36when you wake up in the morning,
05:38that's what I'm asking for.
05:39And when the night comes.
05:41And if one day,
05:42she still wants to thank him,
05:44this is her husband
05:46who served as her inspiration.
05:51That's why they never forget to visit him.
05:59I'm with your son.
06:00We still can't forget you,
06:02no matter what.
06:05Thank you so much for always guiding us.
06:08I know that he doesn't really leave us.
06:10We are still his son and his wife.
06:17And in 2024,
06:19because her business flourished,
06:22the store that used to be on a bench
06:25is now improving
06:27and has its own place.
06:30Good morning, Ma'am.
06:31There were many challenges that she faced.
06:34But because of her perseverance,
06:37she was able to build a good life
06:39for her family.
06:41Just like her favorite lechon and tumbung,
06:44no matter how long the preparation,
06:46it's worth it to enjoy.
