00:00How many days before Valentine's Day,
00:07the heart-giving gifts that can be given to your special someone are in full swing again.
00:13But the heart-giving gifts that we're going to give you will make you full.
00:18I'm so sleepy. I can't take it anymore.
00:21I can't take it anymore.
00:23It's a good thing that there's a heart in Lugaw.
00:26Just kidding!
00:28But Kapuso, it's literal that Lugawan sa Bulacan has a heart in Lugaw or Lamang Puso.
00:35Hmm, let's see.
00:44In the food of Malolos, Bulacan,
00:46the heart-shaped chocolate is not for sale to the in-love customers,
00:50but for the Lugaw that has a heart of beef.
00:55That's the heart of a 39-year-old businesswoman, Glesi.
01:00In 2008, after we got married,
01:04we started grilling meat.
01:06It was only for two months because we were so tired.
01:09Glesi tried selling Lugaw on the side of the road.
01:12Lugaw is my favorite.
01:14The heart is just right. It's cheap. It's only 80 plus.
01:19If you put the heart inside the Lugaw,
01:22it's really delicious.
01:23And it's not chewy.
01:24But it wasn't easy for her to enter the market
01:27because they were always asked to leave their positions.
01:29That's why Glesi decided to build a Lugawan outside their house.
01:34We built a hut so that we can have a roof.
01:37What we expected was only P500 to P1,000.
01:41It's a little higher now.
01:43But with the opening of the new Lugawan,
01:45it wasn't noticed by people.
01:47Of course, if you're new,
01:50they don't know the taste of your Lugaw.
01:53Others tell others.
01:55That's why our Lugaw is slowly becoming known.
01:58Even though we're just on the side.
02:00Glesi is now used to being business-minded
02:03to her proud mother.
02:05She was able to start the business.
02:09Mommy, thank you because you were the one who joined me
02:12when I was just starting.
02:14Now that I'm here,
02:16we've been doing Lugaw business for almost 16 years.
02:20Before, it was small, but it's slowly growing.
02:25Thank you so much because you were the one who joined me.
02:34Glesi's partner, Edward,
02:36is now her partner in running their Lugaw business.
02:41Thank you for your patient love for us,
02:45for taking care of our children,
02:47for your hard work in our search for life.
02:49Husbands really help each other in their search for life.
02:52Their business is full of love.
02:57Even after her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics,
03:00Glesi chose to do business
03:02because she saw more potential in it.
03:05She also earned more money
03:07by being a cashier in a supermarket.
03:10And because Glesi has a kind heart,
03:12she will share to us how to cook Lugaw with heart.
03:18Glesi, can you teach us how to make Lugaw with heart?
03:24First, we will boil the beef heart.
03:29We will add onions and pepper.
03:33We will cover it for 30 to 45 minutes for the beef heart to tenderize.
03:38I hope all of you have a tender heart, Glesi.
03:41Cheers!
03:43While we are tenderizing the beef heart,
03:46we will boil water and add rice.
03:50We will also add the beef fat.
03:53We will just let it boil until the rice is cooked.
03:59We will cut the tenderized beef heart and saute it.
04:02We saute it to get rid of the smell and to make it more delicious.
04:10We will now add ginger.
04:12Next, we will add garlic and onion.
04:17We can now add the beef heart.
04:21And we will now add fish sauce.
04:24We will also add pepper.
04:27Because our Lugaw is already boiling,
04:30we need to mix it so that it won't stick to the bottom.
04:34We will now add our seasonings.
04:37And we will now add our sauteed beef heart.
04:43And we can now add our onion leaves.
04:48The beef heart is being boiled to make it more flavorful.
04:52The beef heart is being boiled to make it more flavorful.
04:57You can taste the Lugaw with Heart by Glesi for only Php 40.
05:01There is also a plain Lugaw for Php 15.
05:04Their Lugaw with Toowalya is also wavy,
05:07serving for Php 35.
05:09The Lugaw with Lumpiang Toge is also perfect,
05:12served with eggs, tofu and pork, and tokneneng.
05:17Glesi sells 3 to 4 pots of Lugaw every day.
05:22She even earned Php 1,000 from her husband, Kim Kim,
05:26for their Lugaw.
05:29Glesi's Lugaw with Lumpiang Toge
05:31earns Php 40,000 to Php 50,000 per month.
05:36I usually order beef heart and Lumpiang Toge.
05:41When you bite it,
05:43you can taste the juice and the fat.
05:49Their toppings are really good, even without garlic.
05:54The quality of the product is important
05:56for the parokyano to come back.
05:58The seasoning has to be consistent,
06:01it can't be changed.
06:03Because of the Lugaw,
06:04her heart has been strengthened.
06:06They now have a motorcycle, tricycles,
06:09and a rolling cart,
06:11which Glesi and her husband
06:13will provide for the needs of the family.
06:17Don't be afraid to give it a try.
06:20The Lord will always be the first.
06:23He will guide us.
06:27Before Valentine's Day,
06:29there's something to celebrate.
06:31Presenting,
06:33the content creator, Red,
06:35who is going on a date
06:37with her college sweetheart, Angel.
06:39Can we go on a date?
06:41I want to go to a fancy restaurant.
06:44Are we going to wear fancy clothes?
06:46No, I think it's nice.
06:49Where's your fancy date, Red?
06:51To make the element of surprise better,
06:55we'll blindfold Patsy.

07:32But Angel, we're not having steak today.
07:34We're having heart-shaped lugaw.
07:36Let's eat.
07:38It's perfect for your cravings.
07:40Yes.
07:41It's my all-time favorite.
