00:00It's been two months since the classes opened,
00:03so for sure, the students are saving again.
00:07I have an extra bag, I'm saving 50.
00:11You don't have to, I'm not buying it.
00:13For example, I'm going to go somewhere nearby, I'm just walking.
00:16This is also the reason why Rika and Christian thought of starting their own business.
00:31Rice in a cup with vegetable toppings?
00:3335 to 50 pesos only?
00:35The serving is even better!
00:38This is the budget meal that the students are eating in Pasig City.
00:42Negosyong May Puso is what 27-year-old Rika and Christian think of it.
00:48We started our business this year, 2024.
00:53What we did to really help the students,
00:56we made a meal that's worth 35 pesos, and they'll be full.
01:03Rika was also inspired by her father, who was a chef in other countries, and here in the Philippines.
01:09We've experienced it before, being a student.
01:11We know how hard it is to budget the allowance that our parents give us.
01:16Sometimes, there are students who work as students so they can have an allowance.
01:20Christian and Rika are working in this garage,
01:23in front of a hospital and a nearby school.
01:26Here, Rika's sister is studying and she was able to help with their business.
01:30She promoted us to her classmates at school.
01:34When other students noticed that she was helping the students, they also saw it.
01:41Christian and Rika were former financial advisors,
01:44but because their business is growing, they're just doing this part-time.
01:48We're both family-oriented.
01:50We have more time for our families.
01:53Aside from the time, we also enjoy the income that our two businesses provide us.
02:01And because it's a new food business, it's not easy for them to run it.
02:05Since our target market is students,
02:09our struggle is first, when we have online classes,
02:13there's no one going to school, so there's no food for us.
02:16Second, when it's a holiday.
02:19Even though it's their first week of opening, Christian and Rika didn't give up.
02:23We invented what the students wanted, until we got the right formula.
02:29They'll also enter the online delivery to continue their income.
02:35Since we're talking about food,
02:36will Kevin Garcia, aka It's a Small World,
02:42and Mark Tarjan, aka Markibop,
02:46be the first money for Unrecord Holder?
02:49Let's time out for the challenger.
02:52I'll be the game master,
02:55Mark, how did you prepare for this challenge?
02:58I didn't eat for 24 hours.
03:00Really?
03:01How about you, Kevin?
03:02About 25 hours.
03:04Who among Mark and Kevin
03:07has the most rice in a cup in one minute?
03:12So are you ready, guys?
03:14Ready!
03:14Ready, Kevin?
03:15Ready, Mark?
03:15Ready!
03:16Okay, timer starts now!
03:19It depends on how you're going to do it.
03:21Do you want to use a spoon?
03:22Or do you want to just use your hands?
03:24Mark put some sauce,
03:26Kevin drank the sauce,
03:28and you're making a soup!
03:30It's easier that way.
03:31You're making a soup.
03:32One!
03:32One down for Mark.
03:35Kevin, you're on top of Mark.
03:37Down.
03:37You're not done yet.
03:38It's okay, love.
03:39I'm sorry, I'm going home.
03:40Okay, time's up now, guys.
03:42The one who ate the most rice is Mark.
03:47I think Kevin is still enjoying it.
03:49He's like tied to us.
03:51He's tied to the table.
03:55Here's our winner, Mark.
03:57Here's the trophy.
03:59Of course, Kevin didn't eat all the rice.
04:01He has a consolation prize.
04:03Because he ate one cup of rice,
04:05he ate more gravy.
04:07According to Christian and Rika's budget meals,
04:09chicken bites with rice
04:11and high with rice for only P35.
04:13Rika and Christian ate
04:15400 to 500 cups of rice per day.
04:17Or equivalent to 50 kilos of rice.
04:19That's why it was already sold out
04:21at 3 p.m. yesterday.
04:23Try your chicken bites first,
04:25Rika and Christian.
04:27Mmm!
04:29It's so good!
04:31It's so good!
04:33It's so good!
04:36Christian,
04:38your gravy is so good.
04:40Mark and Kevin are right.
04:42Your gravy is not salty.
04:44Your chicken is tender.
04:46Tender, tender, tender.
04:48And their breading
04:50is not too thick.
04:52This is my favorite, Shanghai.
04:54It has sauce.
04:56It's so good.
04:58If you bite like that,
05:00your mouth will be full.
05:02Because it has a lot of meat.
05:05It smells so good.
05:07It's sizzling.
05:09I can't see the rice.
05:11I won.
05:13This is P50.
05:15This is P100.
05:17Try this katsu.
05:19Mmm!
05:21It's so tender.
05:23This is their fried chicken.
05:25P30.
05:27Chicken again!
05:29Mmm!
05:31It's so good.
05:33This type of business should be successful.
05:39Rice is life, but rice is business
05:41for Rika and her fiancé, Christian.
05:43They earn P70,000
05:45every month.
05:47They earned P100,000
05:49that they saved
05:51from their full-time jobs back then.
05:53This includes arranging their jobs
05:55so that they can serve more people.
05:57And in just two months,
05:59Rika and Christian
06:02started their own restaurant.
06:04Because of the quality and cheap food,
06:06some bloggers recommend
06:08the food that Christian and Rika eat.
06:10We use social media
06:12like TikTok and Facebook.
06:14We have videos that
06:16have a million views.
06:18We also receive
06:20online orders on Facebook.
06:22Rika and Christian
06:24also received a lot of help
06:26from their family and people around them.
06:28Because of being passionate
06:31about their business,
06:33they are able to save
06:35for their wedding.
06:37They also have a house.
06:39We need to be patient.
06:41We don't always earn a lot.
06:43There are times
06:45when expenses
06:47come out
06:49or not yet.
06:51We should have
06:53a good quality service
06:55to our customers.
06:57We should love our customers
06:59Even simple rice
07:01can make a difference
07:03to the eyes of others.

07:07and save
