00:00Style and Trash!
00:03Wondering if you'll think that these are high quality products from the trash?
00:10It's not our wonderer, Nanny Editha, who makes products from the trash.
00:16The goal of Killos Foundation is to recycle and make the boxes and juice packs that are thrown away even more stylish.
00:24In the beginning, it's really hard because we are introducing that when you throw away a juice pack,
00:29it's a waste, it's money.
00:31No matter who, don't throw it away.
00:33That's why I said, there's money in the trash.
00:3620 cents each.
00:38We are buying this.
00:40In the past, this was just a job for mothers.
00:43But now, everyone is welcome in their production.
00:47Like Tata Juanito, who has been living here for 12 years.
00:53The real member of Killos is my late wife.
00:58And then, she got sick.
01:01I replaced her, of course, so that we can continue to make a living.
01:06At my age, I can't get any other job.
01:11This is my livelihood.
01:15Sometimes, they give us groceries and rice.
01:19That's why I'm a cousin of Killos Foundation.
01:23Tata Efredo didn't just bring bags abroad.
01:26His skills are international.
01:30My name is Mananahe.
01:32I work as a lady's bag.
01:35As a mananahe, I was brought to Manluga, Singapore.
01:41That's a big thing for me.
01:44I experienced that I was brought to Manluga.
01:49I also applied as a mananahe there.
01:52Almost one year.
01:55That's why I came back here.
01:59When Killos was known both inside and outside the country,
02:02they were not prepared for the high demand.
02:05At first, we went to the peony parlors.
02:09Now, the janitors know.
02:11They know when we say,
02:13Hey, there's a lot of juice. Just leave it.
02:15Because the janitors are the ones who collect it.
02:18They're the ones who bring it here.
02:21That's why their solution is cemeteries and mountains of garbage.
02:25The janitors are the ones who buy it.
02:27When I see it, I'm already in Musilayo.
02:30I'll count it.
02:32You'll see all the janitors.
02:34They're the ones I know at that time.
02:38These are the ones in our boxes.
02:40We're preparing this.
02:41This is our shipment for the U.S. and Japan.
02:46To be honest, we buy 20 centavos each.
02:49You know, if you're going to throw it away,
02:51that's why he's making pineapple and mango.
02:54He's sorting it out.
02:56He's fast at sorting it out.
02:58He's good at playing with it.
03:00That's how women are.
03:02This is what happens in the factories.
03:05Instead of throwing it away,
03:07they don't use it.
03:09Maybe it's mis-colored.
03:11Maybe it's a design.
03:13So what happens is, we buy it.
03:15Now, Killos has 60 members.
03:18All of them have their own way of doing things.
03:22You know, women are strict.
03:25That's why we're making different designs.
03:28You have to be very resourceful.
03:30You know, I really salute women.
03:34And because their company is employed,
03:37they can work from home.
03:41Two of them are studying in the Marine Pollution Bulletin of the United Kingdom.
03:45The Philippines is one of the top producers of garbage
03:48or plastic waste in the world.
03:52Killos' advocacy is to find a solution to the problem of pollution.
03:57Of course, we want the environment to be clean.
04:00That's where we started.
04:02The less garbage, the more income.
04:04Don't throw it away.
04:05That's why I said, there's money in the garbage.
04:0820 centavos each.
04:10We buy it.
04:12That's why they have money.
04:15But the garbage, we recycle it.
04:18We make it into beautiful things.
04:23Back to iWONDER!
04:26Today, just chill and relax.
04:29Gina and Victoria.

04:53Due to the rising demand,
04:56the workers in Killos work 24 hours a day.
05:03Although this is good news due to the continued growth of the business,
05:06they still need time to relax.
05:12Take a break from making bags and accessories.
05:17Today, chill and relax with Gina and Victoria.
05:23Bring along your other co-workers.
05:31Because of your hard work, our Wonder Team has a small surprise for you.

06:04I'm relaxed and sleepy.
06:10It feels good. Very good.
