00:00 Sar Manuel was a young boy when he learned how to make bayong from his grandmother.
00:06 He thought of making our bayong better and more luxurious whenever he goes to the market.
00:15 Now, he also started this business.
00:17 Let's know his business story here in Negosyo Tayo.
00:21 Bayong is a type of bag that is usually made from the so-called bay leaf
00:28 and is commonly used whenever it is sold in the market.
00:31 Because of that, we will meet a bayong business this morning
00:37 to know their secret to a successful business.
00:41 How did you start this? Is it your passion?
00:50 Actually, I started making bayong way back in 2018.
00:56 But originally, I learned how to make bayong way back in 1989.
01:01 When my grandmother learned how to make bayong, she taught us.
01:05 I saw that my family's business is like that.
01:08 So, I got interested in it.
01:11 In 2018, we thought of starting a business.
01:14 Actually, we have an organization in Malabon.
01:17 We incorporated the ideas of transforming typical bayong into bags.
01:23 What were the struggles and challenges when we started this business?
01:28 When it boomed in 2018 to 2019, many resellers came to us.
01:33 Sometimes, you will be frustrated when you see a copy of your design.
01:37 If the design you're making is coming from your heart,
01:42 it's impossible for them to copy it.
01:44 Maybe they can copy it, but definitely,
01:47 the heart and mind that you put in your product definitely cannot be copied.
01:54 Is entering the business more of a passion?
01:58 Why? Because the profit is small.
02:01 So, why did you have that notion when it comes to business?
02:06 I see the appreciation.
02:08 I see that the customer is using it.
02:11 And that's something that you can't buy with money.
02:14 What are your business tips?
02:16 Know your market.
02:17 Of course, it's not like you're just making something.
02:20 You're buying something.
02:21 And if you're passionate about selling,
02:25 and showing your work of flavor,
02:30 it will definitely work.
02:32 How much capital and materials do you need to start?
02:36 You can buy this roll.
02:38 Plehe costs roughly from 1,200 to 1,500.
02:46 Okay, Zary. Let's show them.
02:48 We'll start with the basic flower.
02:51 The basic flower is composed of four pieces of plehe.
02:55 From here, you'll start how to make it bigger.
02:59 It depends on the design you want to make.
03:01 So, you're going to add another one.
03:04 After doing this, it will look like this.
03:07 And then, it will slowly finish like this.
03:11 How much will you sell this small one?
03:13 That one costs from 100 to 150 pesos.
03:17 It's actually a cell phone case.
03:18 How many minutes did you make this?
03:20 That's less than 10 minutes.
03:21 Wow, in less than 10 minutes,
03:23 you'll earn 100 pesos.
03:27 They say, "You only live once."
03:36 "So, do the things you want to do."
03:39 "Just like in business."
03:42 That's the lesson that Zarr Manuel taught us.
03:45 We'll continue to share with you
03:47 inspiring business stories and business tips,
03:50 fellow businessmen.
03:51 So, let's go!
03:53 Let's do business!
03:55 (upbeat music)
