00:00In just 2 kilometers of this road, you can find various kinds of food.
00:12That's why this is considered a food tourism destination here in Metro Manila.
00:19And because the day of hearts is near, love is in the air.
00:23It's about to bloom.
00:24Let's visit the loving entrepreneur students who are in their early years, have already founded 2 businesses, and are already making a lot of money.
00:40You can pass all your hashtag couple goals.
00:43Just by looking at it, you can tell that you're going to be full with this gigantic fried chicken.
00:58But their OG sweet and spicy sauce makes it more delicious.
01:04It went viral a few times, and until now, it's still being sold.
01:09The lovers Copper and Main, here in Maguinhawa Street, chose to open their new branch of business.
01:17We're very thankful for this location because our business flow has improved.
01:24It has a free market already.
01:26It means that they already know where to go.
01:28Because they have the food culture here already.
01:31It means that there are already a lot of people who can eat here.
01:34Copper and Main are both entrepreneur students, but from different schools.
01:39Main noticed Copper first when he commented on his uploaded picture.
01:44He complimented my brother instead.
01:47So of course, I was curious, why didn't I compliment my brother?
01:52So I checked his Instagram, and then I said, oh, they really have a business.
01:56Then they said, yes, they have a business mind.
01:59Then I said, I want to be friends with him.
02:00I want to be friends with him.
02:02Because I want business-minded friends.
02:05Their first meet-up was because of the business.
02:08He's selling peanuts if I want to buy.
02:11So I said, okay, of course, I'll support him.
02:13It was our first meet-up, so I made him wait.
02:16Copper has only been taking a bath for a month, and Main already has a proposal.
02:20I told him, let's do business.
02:22They started the food business, Myko 2.0, in Marikina in 2022.
02:30Their product is chicken pops or bite-sized chicken.
02:34And it clicked.
02:36Last year, they opened a vacant store.
02:41We rented the store, and we didn't know what to put.
02:46And we wanted to have a passive income.
02:49The passive income that we thought about is halohalo, ice crumbles, just to cool down.
02:55Because it's short-term, they thought of a long-term business.
03:01I offered him the drizzled chicken concept.
03:04He said, chicken again?
03:06What he's afraid of is that he might become a competitor.
03:09I said, we will make it different.
03:11But at first, I hesitated, of course.
03:14Because it's like chicken again.
03:17Eventually, on day one, I said, this is it, this game.
03:21I will trust my partner.
03:23We had 50,000 pesos.
03:25The total is 100,000 pesos.
03:27We started in a very small store.
03:30They saw that there was a lot of demand for their business,
03:33so they switched places and opened a branch in Maguinhawa.
03:38It has a chicken on top, and then you can choose what you want underneath.
03:42It is very new to their eyes.
03:44The eyes really crave.
03:46Because mostly people love Instagrammable.
03:49The unique.
03:53Let's have a pop talk, guys.
03:56There are balloons in front of me.
03:58Each of those balloons has questions inside.
04:01So I need to ask Copper.
04:05Let's ask Copper.
04:07If you will expand your menu, what will you add first?
04:11For me, maybe drinks.
04:13Drinks?
04:14Yes, so that it has a combination.
04:17Yes, of course.
04:19Because it's hard to eat chicken.
04:21Balloons like that.
04:23So it's important that you have something to push.
04:281, 2, 3.
04:30If your partner is a chicken dish, what is it and why?
04:35Adobo.
04:36Adobo is my favorite.
04:37Really?
04:38Sinigang.
04:39Sinigang.
04:40No, that's not allowed.
04:41Sinampalukang.
04:43Next balloon.
04:46Who is the boss when it comes to business decisions?
04:511, 2, 3.
04:53Him.
04:54Why you?
04:55I like to think.
04:56He likes to move.
04:58He executes, you think.
05:01You're bad at that?
05:02I'm good at giving.
05:04There.
05:05It's like we're on a new year date.
05:07Why is the Drizzled Chicken successful?
05:10We really listen to the customer's experience and what they want.
05:14You, Copper.
05:15Maybe.
05:16Can I say something first?
05:17Okay, go ahead.
05:19I want to say hi to your family and all of our staffs.
05:23I thought he was going to air that.
05:26Astig na family na Drizzled Chicken which is our staffs.
05:30Because of course, they are our frontliners.
05:34This is our frying station.
05:36We fry it here so that it will be big and crispy and juicy.
05:41The marinated chicken is wrapped in flour and fried.
05:49Their combo with mac and cheese and fries is a bestseller.
05:53There are chicken toppings and their OG white garlic sauce.
05:57For those who like rice, there is a rice and chicken combo.
06:01Their monster chicken, you can choose different flavors.
06:05Their honey butter sauce is a bestseller.
06:07Cheesy Bam Burger is also a winner.
06:12The sauce is so good.
06:15This is the size of the chicken.
06:17It's like a big palad.
06:19The chicken meat is so soft.
06:24Crispy.
06:26It's so good.
06:27It's so good.
06:30It's so good.
06:31It's so good.
06:35The drizzled chicken is so good.
06:37There's a reason why people come here, right?
06:39It's so good.
06:43It's not marinated.
06:44Because it's called cheesy macaroni, it should taste like cheese, right?
06:46So, it tastes like cheese.
06:48How big is the fritter?
06:50It's big.
06:52Can we say 6 digits?
06:53Yes.
06:54Oh my gosh, it's so big.
06:566 digits.
06:58Because they are both students,
07:00they ensure that their time is balanced in business and studies.
07:05We have time when we are students,
07:08when we are owners.
07:10We have time every time.
07:12They think that each other is more than a business partner.
07:16It's a thing that strengthens their business and relationship.
07:20When you have time to give up,
07:23you have a partner who will push you.
07:25As the time goes by,
07:26we become more mature when handling issues or decisions.
07:32So, we talk more now.
07:35In business and relationship,
07:36even if it's in different fields,
07:37the foundation is the same.
07:39You need to trust each other,
07:41commitment, and strong will.
07:43So that if there are trials,
07:45it will face them.
07:48Maybe as young entrepreneurs like us,
07:51as partners,
07:52we need a lot of patience.
07:54Try until you succeed.
07:57Because you don't know if you won't try.
08:00It is a long process.
08:02You just need to believe in your product
08:04and believe yourself that you can do it.
