01:06when we return to Unang Hirit.
01:10It's like a pompoms.
01:14In the story of victory
01:16and the story of success,
01:18we're going to show you
01:20in our new segment,
01:22SUMAKSES KA!
01:24Our inspiring story
01:26literally started in Kangkong
01:28because Kangkong became the key to his success.
01:30In June 2021,
01:32he started his kangkong chips business.
01:34And at the age of 17,
01:36he's already the CEO of his own company.
01:38Can you believe that?
01:40And now that he's 20 years old,
01:42he's already earning millions
01:44in sumakses.
01:46Let's find out live here in Unang Hirit.
01:48Yes, Suzy?
01:50Yes, Kaloy.
01:52Sumakses sa Kangkong Chips,
01:54Josh Mojica.
01:56Good morning, Josh.
01:58Good morning, Suzy.
02:00Hello, kapuso.
02:02Good morning. Thank you for having me here.
02:04Thank you for being here, Josh.
02:06And of course,
02:08when people say,
02:10you're going to be a kangkong,
02:12I'm sure you've heard that already.
02:14That means you're not going to be successful.
02:16But you're the one who brought you to success.
02:18How did Kangkong change your life?
02:20Especially my family.
02:22And I'm grateful that I was able to
02:24build an income stream not just for myself,
02:26but also for my family and
02:28for my 200 employees.
02:30Wow, he's able to help a lot.
02:32Not just the family, but also 200 Filipino people.
02:34Amazing.
02:36And you're a millionaire.
02:38You started when you were 17 years old.
02:40How did your business start?
02:42That was a pandemic.
02:44Because of poverty,
02:46I thought about how to earn money.
02:48Because my family needed money.
02:50Especially in terms of health.
02:52So,
02:54my grandfather passed away.
02:56And that made me really
02:58go through life.
03:00I needed to get rich
03:02so that we won't have to go through
03:04the same thing again.
03:06And that's how I started.
03:08It was very simple.
03:10Because you know how to cook?
03:12No, I just wanted to start a business.
03:14But where did the idea of Kangkong come from?
03:16Well, it's healthy, but
03:18why Kangkong?
03:20Well, there's crispy Kangkong.
03:22In events,
03:24that's their appetizer.
03:26Even in restaurants.
03:28I'm the only one who packed it.
03:30I think I was one of the first
03:32who packed it.
03:34And it became a brand.
03:36But Josh, most people ask
03:38how much did you earn
03:40when you started Kangkong Chips?
03:42Very little. 500 pesos.
03:44So, you're saying
03:46they had a hard time at that time.
03:48Plus, Kangkong is cheap.
03:50Actually, I just picked it up
03:52from the back of the house.
03:54Literally.
03:56But I can imagine you had struggles
03:58when you started.
04:00How did you formulate it?
04:02Because that's the challenge
04:04when you pack it.
04:06Actually, the product itself,
04:08I can say it's easy.
04:10The hardest part is the consistency.
04:12When you're distracted,
04:14you can't focus.
04:16When you can't focus,
04:18nothing will happen.
04:20My discipline at that time,
04:22I really wanted to become successful.
04:24Even though, we can say that
04:26it's just Kangkong.
04:28But for me, this is something
04:30that can change my family's life
04:32and also myself.
04:34So, the hardest part
04:36is being distracted.
04:38And how are you doing with all the distraction?
04:40Because now, there are people
04:42who are vlogging and shooting.
04:44While you're walking, you're never alone.
04:46You have to put your best foot forward,
04:48your best smile forward,
04:50your best clothes forward.
04:52How's the pressure?
04:54I'm used to it.
04:56And she said that
04:58she's focused.
05:00When you're focused, you can build
05:02your discipline. That's very important.
05:04It's who you become, not what you get.
05:06It's who you become.
05:08That's a nice word to say.
05:10Before, in your kitchen, you're just cooking
05:12your Kangkong chips. But now,
05:14you have a factory and you mentioned
05:16200 employees. So, wow! How many
05:18Kangkong chips can you make
05:20in a day?
05:22For a day, almost 20,000 packs a day.
05:24Packs? Wow!
05:2620,000 pieces of this.
05:28So, this is one size?
05:30There's bigger.
05:32That's the first. Then, this one,
05:34we just innovated it into a pillow pouch.
05:36It's easy to bring.
05:38Correct.
05:40You can consume one.
05:42You don't have to fill it up.
05:44It's big.
05:46In other countries, you also have a factory.
05:48Not just distribution.
05:50In Dubai.
05:52We also have a Pinoy factory.
05:54I'll just ship one day from there.
05:56To check there.
05:58We have supermarkets there.
06:00Really? Is your distribution there okay?
06:02Yes, ma'am.
06:04What's your foundation here in Kangkong chips?
06:06To be more inspired.
06:08My two factories.
06:10Philippines and Dubai.
06:12Philippines and Dubai.
06:14I think, my biggest foundation
06:16is the empire.
06:18There's people around it.
06:20250 employees, house,
06:22family, cars.
06:24The people around me
06:26make life easier.
06:28In your family,
06:30there were no issues or problems or tensions?
06:32Because there's an imbalance
06:34of power.
06:36Suddenly, the child is the boss.
06:38Because you get the income.
06:40You provide for them.
06:42That's right.
06:44That was one of my biggest challenges
06:46when I was starting out.
06:48Because I hired my mother, my father, my uncle.
06:50I hired them.
06:52I retired them, then I hired them.
06:54At first, there was a problem with power.
06:56Why are you following the child?
06:58Correct.
07:00I'm young, but I won't let it show.
07:02I won't show it to you.
07:04I will show you results.
07:06You have to respect and believe me.
07:08Eventually,
07:10when I succeeded,
07:12when we passed that challenge,
07:14I listened.
07:16At home,
07:18you go back to how you guys are.
07:20You treat them with respect.
07:22But you don't wash the dishes anymore?
07:24No.
07:26There's a dishwasher.
07:28If you're watching this,
07:30and you want to succeed,
07:32what would you tell them?
07:34Aside from being focused
07:36and disciplined.
07:38Aside from being hardworking.
07:40I can say that all of us
07:42are lazy.
07:44You should be good.
07:46Learn what you're doing.
07:48And of course, you need to gamble.
07:50I think that's one of the things
07:52we need to do more in life.
07:54Because we only have one shot in life.
07:56Gamble first.
07:58There's a lot of fear.
08:00I've taught a lot of businessmen.
08:02And all they say is,
08:04why don't they have businesses?
08:06They're afraid to gamble.
08:08But we call it calculated risk.
08:10Of course.
08:12I've heard that from a lot of business owners.
08:14Of course, they want to be like that.
08:16But if it's 500,
08:18you can gamble.
08:20You don't need a lot of money.
08:22Most Filipinos say,
08:24you're a living example, Josh.
08:26Exactly.
08:28Josh, we're going to show you
08:30an old picture of you
08:32when you didn't have a stylist.
08:34If you had a message to your ex,
08:36what would you say to her?
08:38I want to see the picture.
08:40Is it there?
08:42There was a glimpse.
08:44There!
08:46Is that you?
08:48Yes, ma'am.
08:50It's the beginning of everything.
08:52What would you say
08:54to your younger self?
08:56Buy some Bitcoin.
08:58Really?
09:00You're into that too?
09:02He said, it's just a coin.
09:04What I would say to my younger self is,
09:08keep pushing because
09:10we're near
09:12and we're going to make it happen.
09:14Don't stop.
09:16You made it that far.
09:18Don't stop.
09:20I don't want to stop
09:22what I went through before.
09:24Don't stop.
09:26How does it feel to see a picture
09:28of your grandpa again?
09:30Of course, it's sad.
09:32The day I started the business,
09:34the next day, he passed away.
09:36He didn't see it.
09:38This is for him.
09:40This is dedicated to him.
09:42As long as there's someone
09:44eating this product,
09:46it's his memory.
09:48Yes, it's super dedicated.
09:50This grandchild is so sweet.
09:52Yes.
09:54It's not surprising that his business
09:56became successful.
09:58You have an angel.
10:00One of the reasons
10:02why you became successful
10:04is because you're good at convincing
10:06and you're very confident.
10:08We're just a sample
10:10to inspire the newbies.
10:12How are we going to sell this?
10:14You choose the flavor.
10:16I don't like chocolate.
10:18I mean,
10:20I want it to be savory.
10:22This is sweet.
10:24I don't want it to be sweet.
10:26You don't want it to be sweet?
10:28Is it hard to please you?
10:30No, I just don't want it to be sweet.
10:32If we're going to sell this to our viewers,
10:34do you know,
10:36have you ever eaten chichirria?
10:38Yes, I have.
10:40Did you ever earn from the chichirria you ate?
10:42No.
10:44I don't earn from the chichirria.
10:46Do you know that?
10:48Yes, it's easy to sell.
10:50That's why KCO is strong
10:52because we have a lot of resellers and distributors.
10:54If you haven't earned from the chichirria,
10:56this might be the first time you earn
10:58when you resell from KCO.
11:00We have a lot of flavors.
11:02Our newest flavor is chocolate.
11:04It's weird if it's chocolate.
11:06But once you get a taste of it,
11:08I'm sure you'll like it.
11:10I'm sure you'll like it.
11:12I'm sure if it's good,
11:14you'll be able to sell more.
11:16Of course, mothers will like it.
11:18We also have a question for our guests
11:20who were inspired by your success story.
11:22This is Camilo Essek's question.
11:24Aside from discipline, self-discipline,
11:26and avoiding vices,
11:28what are the other ways to succeed?
11:30Aside from discipline and avoiding vices,
11:32Camilo, to be successful,
11:34all you have to do is start now.
11:36Don't wait.
11:38Start now.
11:40You never know. Life is short.
11:42He was right earlier.
11:44Thank you so much for sharing your success story
11:46with us, Josh Mohical.
