00:00You don't need to go abroad to see apple trees.
00:10A farmer in Davao del Sur is able to plant and grow apples.
00:16Do you also like apples?
00:20You don't need to go abroad to pick apples.
00:26You can now plant these apples in your backyard.
00:37Apples usually grow in cold climates.
00:42That's why most of the apples we buy here in the Philippines are imported from America and China.
00:50But can you believe that in Davao del Sur, Digos City, more than 500 apple trees have grown?
01:03That's the good news that Benzone, a 33-year-old farmer, has brought.
01:10And not only that, apples have also become the answer to their lives.
01:15It's getting sweeter.
01:17So, are you ready to plant apples?
01:25Benzone is really good at planting apples.
01:29My parents are both farmers.
01:31We were also raised here.
01:33We were exposed to farming since we were kids.
01:37But they don't consider themselves as the owners of the land.
01:41In Bisaya, people rely on a farm.
01:46Benzone used to say that apples are only for the rich.
01:52He says that he can only eat it when it's ready.
01:55Since we were kids, if there's an apple in December, we feel like we're rich.
01:59But they are very grateful that because of their parents' plantation, they received a good education.
02:08That's why after becoming an IT graduate and a sales associate in a mall,
02:13This is what I call Benzone Apple.
02:18He also pushed his passion to return to farming.
02:22He got a double degree and took an agriculture course.
02:25These are your apples. You can plant them directly.
02:31But how did Benzone get into apple farming?
02:35Once upon a time in 2013,
02:50He was really interested in experimenting with seeds.
02:54But because he believed that it can only be planted abroad,
02:58He had a lot of doubts that it can bear fruit.
03:05One of the struggles here in the Philippines is the negativity that you receive.
03:10But Benzone did not give up. He persevered and took care of it.
03:16The first time I saw a flower, I was very happy.
03:20And who would have thought that after 5 years, he planted an apple seed.
03:26It bears fruit.
03:28Until I saw fruits, I ate them.
03:31This is the first apple planted in our backyard.
03:36This was planted 10 years ago.
03:39After growing his first ever apple tree,
03:43He tried the process of grafting, which he will share with the good news.
03:48This is the seed grown apple that I made rootstock.
03:53What we will do is to cut it.
03:56After that, we will break the branch from the matured or fruiting apple tree.
04:02We will insert this scion wood.
04:07And then we will wrap it with grafting tape.
04:10And make sure that the tape is really tight.
04:16Because of this, the usual 5 years of waiting,
04:19It only took 2 to 3 years for the apple to bear fruit.
04:25The fruits in this area are starting to grow.
04:28When April comes, it's already the season of bitter melon.
04:31In terms of taste, there is really nothing different.
04:34We also tested the sugar level of the apples.
04:37We compared it to the imported apples.
04:40Our apples here are sweeter due to sunlight exposure.
04:45Benzone's apple tree is now 500 years old.
04:49Fruits are not yet sold in the market.
04:52His income comes from the sale of apple seedlings.
04:56We sell 3,000 to 3,500 each grafted apples.
05:03Aside from that, the Department of Agriculture also recognized his farm
05:08as a learning site in growing apples in the Philippines.
05:12You can visit here to study apple growing.
05:15And it's free to pick ripe fruits.
05:18Apples are considered as a temperate fruit.
05:21Usually, we can find apples in places where it's winter.
05:25But apples are also free, so they are highly adaptive kinds of fruit.
05:30We can plant them even in tropical areas.
05:33Benzone's family, who used to only grow apples,
05:36now has 2 hectares of farmland.
05:39And they also expanded their crops.
05:43And they also built their own house
05:46because of apples.
05:49I was able to make a living by growing apples here in the Philippines.
05:54Benzone's next goal is to grow apples.
05:58One of my goals is to reach the local market.
06:02It will help the community when it comes to farming.
06:06Nothing is impossible for a person full of dreams.
06:10We'll be waiting for you, Benzone,
06:12to taste the proudly Filipino apples.
06:21Stories with inspiration,
06:23brought to you by Goodyews.
06:25Good evening, I'm Vicky Morales.
06:28I will still serve my children,
06:30as well as my beloved customers who come here and look for me.
06:35Ms. Selly's love life became cold.
06:38But Ms. Selly received a lot from her children.
06:44Here, and it's even hotter because of the soup.
06:49There are so many apples and vines.
06:51A child is walking on its head.
06:57Why are there so few apples?
06:59I don't have any.
07:00And you're not giving me any.
07:03You know, in our experiment,
07:05I still have plans for our fellow Filipinos.
07:10What's this?
07:18Febibig is not over yet.
07:20Because the next story will prove that love,
07:25till the end, will never leave you.
07:31Is your Valentine's Day cold?
07:36Don't worry.
07:38This soup will warm you up,
07:40which is loved by many Filipinos.
07:46The taste and ingredients,
07:48can be compared to Beef Mami,
07:51but the soup is darker and thicker
07:54because of the brain of the pork or beef.
07:57The bones are cooked together until the meat comes out.
08:01It's called Kinalas.
08:04It's not just fun,
08:06you'll be inspired to do business
08:08when you find out that it's worth only P20.
08:1375-year-old Ms. Selly
08:16has been feeding her parroquians for more than 45 years.
08:21Ms. Selly is a big girl,
08:24that's why when she was young,
08:25she's good at peeling the bones.
08:28My father is a butcher.
08:30When I was 15 years old,
08:34I came here to Naga City.
08:36I was raised by my aunts' children.
08:40In the hope that their family will be saved from poverty,
08:44Ms. Selly's father
08:47married a man she doesn't love.
08:50When I was 18 years old,
08:53a man invited my father
08:57to marry me to a man I don't like.
09:01I said, I can't.
09:03But my father said,
09:05it's up to you to decide my life.
09:09Even though it was her own decision,
09:12Ms. Selly still tried to embrace her fate.
09:17I said, Lord, please help me
09:20to accept everything.
09:22I got married.
09:23We're not married.
09:25We have 5 children.
09:27She thanks her 5 children for everything.
09:31They helped us a lot.
09:33They're not like other children who are stingy.
09:36Whatever food I prepare,
09:38like stir-fried water spinach,
09:39they don't have it.
09:40That's why I love my children.
09:42They're not like others.
09:43Why is there no delicious food?
09:45Until now, I still remember that.
09:47But despite having a partner in life,
09:51Ms. Selly feels
09:53that she's alone in raising her family.
09:56That's why she separated from her ex-husband
10:00and chose to be a mother.
10:05As a single mother,
10:07she's the one who takes care of everything.
10:10She's the one who works for us
10:14so that we can study in a private school.
10:19She's the one who took care of my parents.
10:23She promised to do everything
10:27without complaining.
10:29But what will really change in their lives
10:33is just one dream.
10:35I prayed to God,
10:36Lord, my life in this world is not happy.
10:39I don't want to get married to you.
10:41It's better if I sleep.
10:43Don't wake me up.
10:45I'll talk to God.
10:47Then an old man approached me in the middle of the night.
10:51He told me,
10:52don't lose hope.
10:54Because of her dream,
10:56she was inspired to start a business.
10:59Even though she didn't really cook back then.
11:02And what she saw back then
11:04that there are a lot of people in their area,
11:05was the Kinalas.
11:07When I ran to the market,
11:09I bought a can of shrimps,
11:11two pesos of onions,
11:14and garlic.
11:16One pack of soy sauce was in the repack.
11:20When I got home, I cooked it.
11:22Then I tasted it.
11:24It was delicious.
11:25And she gave birth to her soup specialty.
11:28What made her cook better
11:30was the flavor of the soup
11:33from the beef broth
11:36that melts in the tender meat.
11:39Ms. Celie's soup is delicious
11:41and all of her ingredients are fresh.
11:44That's why people like me come back here again and again.
11:48Ms. Celie's flavor comes back again and again
11:51because it's so delicious.
11:53The sauce is delicious.
11:54The way they serve the soup is hot.
11:56But can you believe
11:58that Ms. Celie's income in 1979
12:02was only 20 pesos?
12:04At that time,
12:06it was equivalent to 1,500 pesos
12:09in our current currency.
12:12That's why she promised her customers
12:14that she would still be able to afford her food.
12:18For 50 pesos,
12:20you already have kinalas and luglug combo.
12:23Just add 10 pesos
12:25and you still have extra eggs.
12:27You can also partner with baduya
12:29which is a type of fried banana
12:31for 20 pesos
12:33and empanada for only 30 pesos.
12:37I had a little money
12:39from my daily sales.
12:41I saved it up
12:43and I built a house for him.
12:45It's a house of poverty.
12:47But just like any business,
12:50there are also hardships.
12:52This pandemic is so hard.
12:54I don't know what to do.
12:56Now, it's flooding.
12:57There's also a typhoon.
12:59If we don't go up,
13:01maybe the water level will rise.
13:05If we go up,
13:06the water level will reach the cross.
13:08It's deep.
13:10But Ms. Celi
13:11won't give up on her problems.
13:14It's all for the family.
13:17That's why more than material things,
13:20the biggest thing that she has saved up
13:22is the bright future of her children.
13:25She really worked hard for us
13:27to be able to study
13:28because she told us
13:31that's the only thing
13:32that she will give us
13:34is our education.
13:36The happiest thing is
13:38just like my children,
13:39I was able to finish my studies
13:41because of her help,
13:42because of her care.
13:44Just like my son,
13:45where is he now?
13:46He's working at the hospital there.
13:49At the age of 75 years old,
13:51she's still going strong.
13:53She won't give up
13:54on the people she loves.
13:56I will still serve my children
13:59as long as my beloved customers
14:01come here and look for me.
14:03Ms. Celi's love life
14:05has become cold,
14:07but she was able to receive
14:09from her in-laws and children
14:11this,
14:13and it's even hotter
14:15in the soup.
14:19A student in Taguig
14:21sells rice.
14:23He rides his bicycle
14:25to Palitaw and Biko
14:27and it's all over his head.
14:32At 3 or 4 in the afternoon,
14:34the people here in Taguig
14:38are already waiting
14:39for a vendor to pass by.
14:45If you see him,
14:47you will turn around.
14:51And every person he meets
14:53looks at him.
14:55Literally.
14:59Because his goods
15:01are not on his bicycle,
15:03but
15:05on his head.
15:07And it's not just
15:09one box,
15:11but
15:134 to 7 boxes
15:15of goods.
15:26Good evening.
15:28Spaghetti.
15:30The vendor in demand
15:32is Mark, 20 years old.
15:34When I ride my bicycle,
15:36I get a lot of money
15:38and I get a lot of customers.
15:40A lot of people are happy
15:42because he's doing a good job.
15:44It's rare
15:46for a vendor
15:48to do a good job.
15:50It's hard for him
15:52to do a good job.
15:54But he's doing a good job.
15:56Mark was just a kid
15:58when he learned how to make
16:00his mother's snack.
16:02He used to be a cook in a canteen.
16:04Because he was a single mom,
16:06his mother took care of
16:08his siblings.
16:10But when his sister got married,
16:12they were the only ones
16:14who were left at home.
16:18So to help,
16:21Mark decided
16:23to sell his goods.
16:25When I used to sell at TCO,
16:27I was just a walker.
16:30And to get attention
16:32on the streets,
16:34he made the vendors
16:36think.
16:45In 2019,
16:47I decided to balance.
16:49No one taught me.
16:51I just believed that
16:53I can do it.
16:55It's my talent.
17:07But it seems like
17:09there are times
17:11when he's out of balance.
17:14Stop! Stop! Stop!
17:16Stop! Stop!
17:18And the vendors fall down.
17:20I got into an accident.
17:22My bike fell down
17:24and so did my vendor.
17:26I was lying down.
17:28It's a good thing that
17:30the cars didn't pass by.
17:32Do you lose money like that?
17:34No, I don't.
17:36In addition,
17:38his bicycle
17:40is no longer in good condition.
17:42Sometimes, it works
17:44and sometimes, it doesn't.
17:46And his wheels and parts
17:48are also in bad condition.
17:50My first reaction
17:52was that I was scared
17:54because there are many cars
17:56and you don't know
17:58if you're going to crash.
18:00I prayed to him
18:02and he told me
18:04not to be afraid.
18:06He reminded me of God.
18:08But if this is the way
18:10he is,
18:12he's still in a bad condition.
18:14My father passed away this morning.
18:16My mother is the only one
18:18who takes care of us.
18:20I also help her
18:22to earn more money.
18:24I can do anything
18:26as long as I can help my parents.
18:28Even if it's hard
18:30and dangerous, I'll do it.
18:32Moreover,
18:34many people noticed
18:36and posted about him online.
18:38Even if it's hot and dangerous,
18:40as long as it's important,
18:42he can help his parents.
18:44Because these boxes
18:46are the foundation of Mark's dreams.
18:48My dream is to be a businessman.
18:50I want to build
18:52my own store
18:54for my mom and me.
18:56That's why he also
18:58balances his work and studies.
19:00He's currently
19:02a grade 11 student.
19:04I used to be face-to-face
19:06with my parents when I was in grade 10.
19:08Now, I told my advisor
19:10that I want to be a modulator
19:12so that I can help my parents.
19:14She agreed.
19:16Good news team!
19:18We have a small gift for you
19:20to make your journey easier.
19:24A brand new bike!
19:26Wow!
19:28Cheers!
19:34I'm happy.
19:36I have a carrier.
19:38Thank you so much
19:40for the good news.
19:42I can use it for sales.
19:44It's a big help
19:46because my bike is old
19:48and damaged.
19:50Because of your hard work
19:52and dedication, you deserve it.
19:58Just like Mark,
20:00he's always
20:02on the right track.
20:04He's always balanced
20:06and he's always ready
20:08if needed.
20:10His dream of success
20:12will also come true.
20:20Nowadays,
20:22it's different
20:24when you have a CCTV
20:26to protect your house.
20:30You're now protected.
20:32You have 24-hour
20:34security.
20:36Just like this video
20:38uploaded by a netizen,
20:40Joy, on social media
20:42where her store's CCTV
20:44shows
20:46the theft of her store
20:48by a man
20:50who she didn't think
20:52would harm her.
20:56I was about to close.
20:58He was my last customer.
21:00He bought 3 cans of milk.
21:02I didn't notice that he took it.
21:04Before he came,
21:06I counted it because I went out.
21:08Of course, there's a lot happening around.
21:16This is where he reviewed the CCTV.
21:18He confirmed
21:20that someone stole from the store.
21:22But he was more surprised
21:24when he saw
21:26who did it.
21:38This is where he reviewed
21:40the CCTV.
21:42He confirmed
21:44that someone stole from the store.
21:46But he was more surprised
21:48when he saw
21:50who did it.
21:52I was surprised.
21:54I thought he wouldn't do it to me
21:56because his wife always charges me.
21:58They're always sitting here.
22:00I'm his partner
22:02because I'm his wife.
22:04He couldn't think
22:06why his neighbor did it to him.
22:08When I give him food,
22:10it's friendship.
22:12That's how I choose to give.
22:14Even though
22:16the value of the stolen bread is small,
22:18what happened to him is still painful.
22:20What I see in the store
22:22is a big help
22:24for their Christmas party,
22:26their projects.
22:28Even if it's a small amount,
22:30if you're patient and hardworking,
22:32it's worth it.
22:34In the last scenario,
22:36we're going to do an experiment.
22:38Tricia is like a vendor.
22:40Tricia is like a vendor.
22:42Are you buying?
22:44Turon, lumpia?
22:46Can I buy a lumpia?
22:48We're going to buy and steal
22:50from our neighbor, Aprin.
22:58We're short of two.
23:00What will we get
23:02from our neighbors?
23:04Let's sell!
23:06Can I buy
23:08what's that?
23:10Lumpia.
23:12Can I buy three pieces?
23:14While the customer
23:16was trying to estimate
23:18the price of the store,
23:20our neighbor started a scene.
23:22How much is the lumpia?
23:24And she bought
23:26the lumpia.
23:28Why is it not enough?
23:30I don't know. You haven't given it to me yet.
23:32No, because I didn't get it earlier.
23:34Then I bought it.
23:36It's different.
23:38Why is it not enough?
23:40I don't know.
23:42No, because I didn't get it earlier.
23:44It's different because
23:46I didn't get it earlier.
23:48You haven't given it to me yet.
23:50You haven't given it to me yet.
23:52Not yet.
23:54This is where our target
23:56started a scene and
23:58Aprin was taught to get the lumpia.
24:00She already got it.
24:02She didn't get it yet.
24:04She already got it.
24:06She already got it.
24:08She already got it.
24:10She already got it.
24:12She already got it.
24:14What are you doing here?
24:16I can see you.
24:18Are you going to buy it?
24:20I'm going to buy it.
24:22I'm going to buy it.
24:24I can see you.
24:26I can see you.
24:28This man
24:30couldn't take it anymore
24:32and he showed his feelings.
24:34I feel sorry for Aprin.
24:36I didn't get it earlier because
24:38Aprin was buying it.
24:40You should have asked her.
24:42We will stop the scene
24:44because the people who
24:46got hurt were Aprin.
24:48You're just
24:50in GMA.
24:52Let's be fair.
24:54It doesn't matter if it's big or small.
24:56That's wrong.
24:58Aprin's store is only 5 pesos
25:00for a lumpia.
25:02Thank you
25:04for listening to us.
25:10Here's your lumpia.
25:12For the last time,
25:14we will invite our supporters.
25:16Have you already bought it?
25:18Not yet.
25:22This is not enough.
25:24I didn't get anything.
25:26You didn't give me anything.
25:28You didn't buy anything for me.
25:30You didn't buy anything for me.
25:36What's this?
25:38How did this
25:40end up in your pocket?
25:42Huh?
25:44Explain it to me.
25:48I saw it in his pocket.
25:50He took it.
25:54Why did you
25:56take it?
25:58But aside from the earlier scenes,
26:00instead of getting angry,
26:02the man felt pity.
26:06When he grabbed it,
26:08I asked him why he needed to do it.
26:10I saw Ate because she was hungry.
26:12Instead of
26:14them fighting
26:16about where to go,
26:18I just let it go
26:20since I have extra money.
26:22We shouldn't be
26:24aggressive.
26:26From a small thing,
26:28it can grow
26:30and grow and grow.
26:32Meanwhile,
26:34we took the pulse of Madla
26:36up to the CCTV footage
26:38posted by the netizen Joy.
26:40What did they say?
26:42We shouldn't
26:44steal. We should work
26:46properly.
26:48Sometimes, you need to work
26:50instead of stealing.
26:52What he did when he stole,
26:54he stole bread.
26:56You can borrow money
26:58and ask for it when you're hungry.
27:00You can steal.
27:02Once
27:04this kind of incident
27:06happens to you,
27:08the advice of the authorities
27:10is to be careful
27:12and be vigilant.
27:14If this kind of incident
27:16happens, you can
27:18go to your neighborhood
27:20and ask for help.
27:22Aside from our neighborhood,
27:24we can also ask
27:26for help
27:28from our police officers.
27:30Meanwhile, after being confronted
27:32and told by the neighbor,
27:34Joy
27:36was forgiven by the neighbor
27:38who stole from her shop.
27:40I'm okay. Just don't
27:42do it again, especially to others
27:44who don't know who you are.
27:46In this hard life,
27:48many people are doing
27:50bad things to each other.
27:52He already did it.
27:54But let me remind you,
27:56it's not right
27:58to steal.
28:00What are you doing here?
