00:00Now, let's take a look at She Shines, the inspiring story of a young entrepreneur.

00:07But before that, let's all watch this.

00:11Coffee. That's the fuel of students or employees.

00:15Always with you when you wake up and even in the nights when you don't have anything to do, projects and tasks.

00:22But there's a type of coffee that doesn't just help you get rid of sleepiness,

00:26but also has heart and advocacy.

00:29That's what is offered in the very first bottled coffee cart owned by a college student named Meg Bay.

00:37Meg is only 19 years old.

00:39She started to help and support local farmers

00:43and give opportunities to working students through her business.

00:49In every bottle, you will not only feel sweet and hot,

00:54but also the importance of every bottle of coffee given by local farmers.

00:59Likewise, the efforts of students to achieve their dreams.

01:05If so, let's find out the inspiring journey of Meg Bay here in She Shines.

01:13And now, we are live in the studio with the young entrepreneur, Meg Bay.

01:18Hi Meg, good morning.

01:19Hello, good morning. Thank you for having me today.

01:21At 19 years old, she's an entrepreneur and a very beautiful entrepreneur, right?

01:26Yes, a college student.

01:27And when we say young, how old are you Meg?

01:29I'm 19 years old.

01:3019, very inspiring, not lean.

01:34So how did you think of this? How did you start your business?

01:38Well, actually, I started my business when I was still young.

01:41I was already fond of doing business.

01:43I was still in elementary school when I started selling candies,

01:48because I grew up in poverty.

01:50I really know the reality of life, how hard life is.

01:54So I really help to be able to help my family, even if I just provide what I need.

02:01But my coffee business, I started it when I was 19 years old.

02:06So, I saw the coffee market here in the Philippines.

02:12Even if you're young, old, in school, students, workers,

02:17what they really drink is coffee.

02:20Coffee is life.

02:21Coffee is life.

02:22So I really saw the potential of the coffee business.

02:27But I said, since there are a lot of people doing business,

02:31I really thought of making bottled coffee.

02:34Bottled coffee.

02:35And then, I went back to how I started.

02:40Because I started by going around.

02:43I would go around in the classroom,

02:45I would go around in our school,

02:47I would sell to the professors,

02:49I would sell to the classes.

02:51Then, I would go to MOA, I would go around.

02:54So, that's where the idea of going around started.

02:57Because I started by selling my coffee.

02:59Okay, so if there are people who sell taho, ice cream on the street,

03:03this is their bottled coffee.

03:04Bottled coffee.

03:05It's different, right?

03:06And business with a heart.

03:08Advocacy is good.

03:09You're helping working students, right?

03:11Yes.

03:12And also farmers.

03:13Yes.

03:14Because I said, when I started,

03:16I saw how my father struggled to provide for my studies.

03:23So, that's where I went back to my inspiration again.

03:27I saw how hard life is.

03:29So, my father was a businessman,

03:31and I was the only one studying.

03:33He still had a hard time providing.

03:35So, that's how hard life is now.

03:37So, now, I thought, what kind of family would have four children,

03:41three colleges, and siblings?

03:43So, I thought, why?

03:45I made something unique out of coffee

03:49that can help students.

03:51So, so far, I have working students.

03:54Are they your classmates, schoolmates?

03:57No, they're from different schools.

03:59So, we have different schools.

04:02So, different universities.

04:05So, it's not just that.

04:06We also have single moms and single dads in our production area.

04:11So, that's what I'm helping to do,

04:13to provide a source of income for working students.

04:18That's great.

04:19It's like we're talking to a 19-year-old.

04:22She knows the potential of the market.

04:24Correct.

04:25And we can also see in the video that you really have your production place.

04:31So, is this close to you?

04:33Yes, it is.

04:34So, what area does your product go to?

04:37So, our coffee is sold in Novaliches, Caloocan, Fairview.

04:42We also go around there.

04:44So, in our production area,

04:47actually, we just started.

04:49I was just part of my father's business.

04:53So, after school, I went straight to my father's store.

04:59And then, I'll start at 10 p.m.

05:01until 4 a.m.

05:03to formulate the coffee.

05:05That's great.

05:06That's a lot of bottles in a day.

05:07How many bottles do you pack?

05:093,000.

05:103,000?

05:11And how many employees do you have?

05:13So far, I have 25 working students,

05:16and I'm turning 30 this Sunday.

05:18So, my goal is to give more opportunities to working students.

05:24So, my goal is to have at least 100 this year.

05:27Of course, that's my goal and my vision,

05:33to give jobs to working students to support their studies.

05:37Are you a coffee lover?

05:39Of course, I'm a coffee lover.

05:42People call me a coffee lover, but I started as a non-coffee lover.

05:45Okay.

05:46I just saw the coffee market.

05:48I'm acidic.

05:49Yes, we're both acidic.

05:51But the good thing is,

05:53I can now drink coffee because of my coffee.

05:56It's less acidic.

05:57Okay.

05:58So, I formulated it in a less acidic way so that I can drink it.

06:01But during the process of formulation,

06:03it took me a long time because I'm acidic.

06:06So, you've tested it yourself?

06:09Yes, I did.

06:10And another thing, I use local coffee beans.

06:14Where do you source it?

06:15I have it in Cordillera and Baguio.

06:18We have a direct supplier there.

06:20Aside from helping working students,

06:23one of my main advocacy is to introduce our local products,

06:29our local coffee,

06:31which comes from our farmers.

06:35So, it's not just for students.

06:37Even for farmers, it's beneficial.

06:39There you go.

06:40I hope we can taste this coffee.

06:42That's right.

06:43It's so fluffy.

06:44I can also see the color green.

06:46Is it matcha?

06:47Matcha.

06:48It's so beautiful.

06:49This is our bestseller, matcha.

06:51That's crazy.

06:52That's what I'm talking about, Ms. Dayan.

06:54What's your long-term goal for this?

06:56And how will you make it sustainable?

06:58Because your advocacy is so beautiful.

07:00And it seems profitable.

07:02You're able to help others.

07:03Of course, the goal is to make the business long-term, right?

07:06Yes.

07:07Alright.

07:08So, for my short-term goal,

07:09as I mentioned,

07:10I want to have 100 students by the end of the year.

07:15From 25 or 30 to 100 students.

07:18Yes.

07:19Because we're going to scale this coming December.

07:22So, I'm achieving to have 100 students this year.

07:26If not, but that's the goal.

07:29100 students.

07:30For a long-term goal,

07:31of course, I want the product to be released in a larger market.

07:35I want everyone to taste it.

07:37And we really want to promote our own product.

07:39Because we're coffee lovers.

07:41So, we really want to promote Kaping Pinoy.

07:45Magnite will really succeed.

07:47Yes, she's really good.

07:48She's still a kid, but she's an entrepreneur.

07:50And lastly,

07:51what advice can you give to young people who want to start a business?

07:57Okay.

07:58So, my advice to young people who want to start a business is,

08:02for me, it takes a lot of things to be an entrepreneur.

08:08So, the most important thing as a young person is,

08:12first, you have to know where you're passionate,

08:15and just do what you love.

08:17Because, as we can see now,

08:19on the internet,

08:20there are a lot of young people who stop studying to start a business.

08:26But at the end of the day,

08:27there's a quote,

08:28diploma or discarte, right?

08:30So, that's what's confusing me.

08:33For you, can you answer that?

08:34Last one.

08:35Diploma or discarte?

08:38For me,

08:39if it's diploma or discarte,

08:42what I'll say is,

08:43just do what you love.

08:45Alright?

08:46Because it doesn't matter.

08:47Diploma or discarte doesn't apply to everyone.

08:50For me,

08:51I chose my business that can help other people over my studies.

08:57So, it doesn't apply to everyone.

08:59Because, of course,

09:00there are young people who dream of becoming a doctor or a teacher.

09:03So, finish your studies and get that diploma.

09:06So, the concept of diploma and discarte doesn't apply to everyone.

09:11But it will help you.

09:12But my advice is,

09:14be determined,

09:16passionate,

09:17hardworking,

09:19and always focus on your goals.

09:22Can we do that too?

09:27Let's be business partners.

09:30Thank you so much and all the best.

09:32Good luck.

09:33Thank you for having me.

09:35You inspired me a lot this morning.

09:37Thank you, Meg Bae.
