00:00After the birth of Bear Month,
00:02a lot of people are preparing for Christmas.
00:05Decorations are being decorated, especially the Christmas tree.
00:09Ta-da!
00:13It's that time of the year again!
00:16Some celebrities are not missing out,
00:18like Nasanya Lopez.
00:20We'll see what our Christmas tree will be wearing.
00:26You can also decorate your Christmas tree
00:28because we still get to see a lot of different things.
00:31Gabby Garcia.
00:32Last year, we went for a Paskong Pinoy theme.
00:36This year, we went for a pink tree.
00:38Now, this is a romantic tree.
00:40Romantic three?
00:41Yes, romantic tree!
00:43Bebe!
00:46And Bea Alonso.
00:48Since Christmas is in the air,
00:51if we're just talking about decorations and Christmas tree,
00:54Faye and Anne's entry is simple and unique.
01:04Faye and Anne's family is promoting a new Christmas tree.
01:09The tree is out because they only have wood.
01:15Tito Poggies Woodworks offers different wood projects.
01:20They're also making bed frames,
01:23Christmas decors,
01:25and Christmas trees for Bermond's Day.
01:28They also have candle holders.
01:30We followed that so that the designs can be added.
01:34They also have different sizes of Christmas trees.
01:37These can look the same.
01:39They can also have different designs.
01:41Our Christmas tree starts from 2 feet to 10 feet.
01:48Usually, the order is 6 feet, 6, 7, 8.
01:54They say it's aesthetic, modern,
01:57and new to their eyes.
02:00They also say it's easy to decorate and trim.
02:03After Christmas,
02:04what others do is put plants in their garden.
02:10Faye and Anne first met when they were selling plants.
02:14During the pandemic,
02:16we were selling plants.
02:20Someone ordered a Christmas tree,
02:22so we copied the design that he wanted.
02:26To complete their products,
02:28they need to be able to wake up,
02:30and the father of the family will take care of it.
02:33Nicanor is Tito Poggie No. 1,
02:36and Robert is Tito Poggie No. 2.
02:39My father didn't have a job at the time,
02:43so we offered him a job.
02:48He learned how to work as a carpenter.
02:51The same goes for Anne's father.
02:54He was the one who started it, Tito Poggie.
02:58When they were able to make a sample Christmas tree,
03:00they posted it online to introduce their products.
03:05Since a lot of people were inquiring,
03:08we posted it.
03:10When the Bermond's started,
03:12there were a lot of inquiries and orders.
03:15But throughout the year,
03:17there were people who were making non-Christmas trees.
03:23Robert measures the wood he will use.
03:27He also makes a base
03:29to attach a layer of wood.
03:31To get the shape of the Christmas tree,
03:34Robert puts a string to make a pattern.
03:37He also cleans the wood
03:40to make sure the materials are clean.
03:43At first, we had a hard time with manpower.
03:47Our challenge here is the location.
03:50It's not outside the road.
03:52Since the item is big,
03:54we had a hard time with the options we could offer them.
03:58We all carry pallets.
04:03Because their family is so helpful,
04:05they are able to complete their orders.
04:08After a lot of hard work,
04:10they now have a wooden Christmas tree.
04:13The good thing about the business
04:16is that they only charge a small amount.
04:20We only charge a small amount
04:22because we require a down payment
04:24for the orders.
04:26That's what I do to get the materials.
04:30For our own money,
04:32it's around Php 5,000 to Php 10,000.
04:35That's why there's a down payment.
04:37We also secure the cancellation policy.
04:40It's hard when their items are done
04:43and the clients' minds change.
04:46The family uses a customized Christmas tree
04:49to get the hearts of their customers.
04:52In terms of design,
04:54it depends on the client's design.
04:58There are also circles.
05:00That's one of our new designs.
05:02It's like a cake style,
05:04like a Christmas village.
05:06That's why their Christmas tree
05:08is called Merry Hatid Twing Vermans.
05:11We earned Php 250,000 to Php 300,000
05:14during the whole verman season.
05:16We did a big thing.
05:18It's not just for us.
05:20It's for our family.
05:22Now that Tito Pogi's family
05:24is getting a lot of looks,
05:26the ladies like me
05:28won't give up.
05:30This is a Christmas tree
05:32that Tito Pogi is making.
05:34This is made of wood.
05:37These are paluchinas.
05:39I didn't know
05:41that this could be a Christmas tree.
05:43Tito Pogi, teach me.
05:45I'll make it.
05:47This is the base.
05:51This is a spang.
05:53We use this.
05:55I'm getting dizzy.
05:57I don't want to get dizzy.
06:00Wow!
06:02This is like DIY.
06:04You can do this at home.
06:06Let's put
06:08our Christmas decorations.
06:10This is nice.
06:12You just need to place it.
06:14The Christmas tree is beautiful.
06:16What's nice about this is
06:18that it's durable.
06:20It's not expensive.
06:22This is very practical.
06:24Hi! Christmas is over.
06:26Can I stand in your house?
06:28Change the decorations here.
06:30If Tito Pogi can do it,
06:32I can do it too.
06:34You can do it too.
06:36Aside from helping,
06:38this is the secret
06:40that made Nafe and Anne's business stronger.
06:42Communication is important.
06:44Not only for us,
06:46but also for our family.
06:48If we don't talk
06:50about a project,
06:52we won't be able
06:54to do everything
06:56that our clients want us to do.
06:58You need to have a strong heart,
07:00be hardworking,
07:02and be persistent.
07:04Be consistent.
07:06Nowadays,
07:08everything is hard.
07:10You have to sacrifice a lot.
07:12Eventually,
07:14you'll get the fruit of your labor.
07:16When Christmas comes,
07:18it's not only about preparing,
07:20but also about taking care of yourself.
07:22Because if you eat well,
07:24even a simple tree
07:26can start a wonderful life.
