00:00No need for covertos because our food trip for today's video is not a burger, okay?
00:09But rice and food all in one!
00:12The trending pastil is also available in Kalasaw, Pangasinan.
00:17Delicious! Delicious!
00:18It's not just that Chan can't get enough of it,
00:21his wife's shop will also be full of it.
00:25Because of its 500 pesos income, it has a profit of 100,000 pesos per month.
00:33The good vibes story of pastil will be shared here in Good News.
00:41In 2022, Michael and Grace started their business.
00:47Michael is working as an IT specialist,
00:51while Grace is selling food.
00:55My wife is looking for an alternative way to earn money.
01:00In 2022, pastil in Quiapo became popular.
01:06It's like it's possible.
01:07Because it's 15 pesos, the two of us can afford it.
01:12Because of that, Grace was also searched online for how to cook pastil.
01:18And after a few trials, she was able to perfect her pastil recipe.
01:23Our problem is, how are we going to sell it?
01:26The solution she came up with was to give an assignment to her younger sibling.
01:32I asked her,
01:33I said, do you want to bring pastil?
01:35Just sell it to your classmates.
01:36She said, okay, that's fine.
01:39So she brought 5 pieces of pastil.
01:41She finished 5 pieces.
01:43I said, sell it again tomorrow.
01:45It was a pre-order.
01:46So the next day, she had a sure order of 10 pieces.
01:51Until pastil became popular among her sibling, Nicole.
01:56They decided to DIY their own cart.
02:00I painted it.
02:02My husband did the layout.
02:04The couple started selling pastil in parks in their area.
02:0840 pieces of pastil.
02:10We didn't notice anything.
02:12When one or two customers tasted it,
02:15they would repeat it.
02:16In just 30 minutes, 40 pieces were sold out.
02:19Their pastil with rice is light in weight.
02:23It's only 15 pesos.
02:25Literally, it's on the go.
02:27So you can fill it up.
02:31You can also choose the flavor.
02:33There's regular pastil,
02:34spicy pastil,
02:36and sweet and spicy pastil.
02:38These are really popular among budgetarians.
02:42Especially among students.
02:44Especially if you don't have money,
02:46and you're saving,
02:47you'll be full if you order two.
02:49It's delicious,
02:50and it's only 15 pesos.
02:52That's the goal of the couple.
02:55To make their pastil affordable,
02:58especially for students.
03:00Grace can relate to students who are saving.
03:05Her father grew up not with her,
03:07while her mother is working abroad.
03:11That's why she's saving for school.
03:14If I didn't decide to come to the city,
03:18we would still be in the same situation.
03:23That's why,
03:24even if the price of other foods is increasing,
03:28her pastil is still 15 pesos.
03:31Even if it's cheap,
03:33she can make up for it with her income.
03:37That's why,
03:39There are 8 carts going around in Pangasinan.
03:45From a production house
03:47that used to be a small and empty tent,
03:51now,
03:52it's cemented.
03:54And there are employees now.
03:56Here you can see
03:58how they make pastil.
04:01From just 5 pieces back then,
04:03to 5,000 pastils everyday now.
04:07The 500 pesos that used to be in the business,
04:11is now earning up to 75,000 pesos everyday.
04:17And the good news is,
04:19aside from the salary,
04:20for every pastil that is sold,
04:22a peso goes to the seller.
04:26So that our customers can feel that
04:29our business is also their business.
04:33You're already paid,
04:34but you still have a commission.
04:36Just like Tatay Ramir.
04:38My biggest income in one day,
04:41was 1,700 pesos.
04:42This kind of discount
04:44is helping Tatay Ramir a lot.
04:47For the kids,
04:48it's a budget for the house.
04:49Because back then,
04:50what I earned was just 500 pesos.
04:52That's why,
04:53I didn't give up.
04:55I worked hard to earn more money.
04:59Even Grace's dream of opening a canteen,
05:02was achieved because of pastil.
05:04And who's in charge of this?
05:06Guess who?
05:07Her mother,
05:08who used to be an OFW.
05:10After working abroad for almost 30 years,
05:15Teresita's mother,
05:16was able to send Grace home here in the Philippines.
05:20She's the one who will give back
05:22to her mother's hard work for them.
05:26I'm very proud,
05:27because I saw how hard she worked,
05:30no matter what she put in,
05:32she worked hard for it.
05:34She was able to help her parents,
05:36and she was able to finish her cousins.
05:39All thanks to pastil.
05:42It's still far,
05:43but it's really far.
05:44I drink pastil!
05:46That's why for today's video,
05:47Grace and Michael
05:49will bring good news
05:51to students and barangay
05:53who are passionate about their business.
05:57Kapuso, free pastil for everyone!

06:11Grace and Michael,
