00:00Who doesn't know the gossipy housewives of Pepito and Elsa?
00:07You don't want to admit it, you're getting old.
00:10But in TV and movies, they are usually the housewives.
00:16In real life, she is the owner.
00:21Please welcome, Ate Mosang.
00:24Ate Mosang, our business is so grand.
00:28Ate Mosang, in your beauty and in this show,
00:31I feel like I'm in a motocycle store.
00:33I'm not like you.
00:35Hey, it's not like that.
00:36It's just branding.
00:37Mascara.

00:41Yes.
00:42What is the inspiration of your name?
00:43Actually, the name of my child is Elijah Sepia.
00:48So we named him Lseps.
00:50Is he alone?
00:51Yes, he's my only child.
00:53I'm a single mother.
00:54By nature.

01:00Okay.
01:01How old is he?
01:02He's now 27 years old.
01:04He's already graduated.
01:05He's already working.
01:07Does he like to cook?
01:08No, he likes to eat.
01:10If you see him in person, you can tell from his body.
01:13He's really big.
01:14I hope we can be together next time.
01:16My family is big and likes to eat.
01:19We have a term there.
01:20What?
01:21Happy size.
01:22Yes.
01:23Happy size.
01:24Yes, why not.
01:25I remember that.
01:27In the millennium.
01:28Happy size.
01:29Happy size.
01:30If you're not fat, you're happy size.
01:31That's right.
01:32It's still happy.
01:33It's not a negative bias.
01:35Yes, that's right.
01:36How long have you been in this business?
01:38If you include all the hardships we've been through,
01:41it's been 14 years.
01:4314.
01:44So how did you start?
01:46In this work?
01:48Or in the showbiz?
01:49In the showbiz.
01:50I started college.
01:51I was about 19 years old.
01:52In the theater.
01:53In the theater.
01:54How did you start?
01:55The character of Mosang is a simple explanation.
01:58She's Mosang Kapitbahay.
02:00Created by Wende Rama.
02:01The late Wende Rama.
02:03Oh, Drek Wende.
02:04So before Marites was formed.
02:07Yes.
02:08Mosang is the original.
02:10That's great.
02:12So your neighbor, Tengal,
02:14who's always knocking on your door,
02:16before ordering food,
02:18she's always knocking on your door.
02:19I shouldn't have called you Kapitbahay.
02:22I should have called you Mosang.
02:23Mosang.
02:24Years.
02:25So 25 years.
02:26But how many years in,
02:29before you were able to save to start this?
02:31Did you really work hard
02:33to be able to save
02:35and start this business?
02:36No.
02:37My mother also likes to cook.
02:40We used to have a karenderia,
02:42in Antonio Rivera.
02:44This building is a backup plan for myself.
02:48Because of course, I'm a single mother.
02:51And then I told myself,
02:53when I earned a good income
02:55from a commercial,
02:57I said, where will I bring the money?
02:59My mom told me,
03:01if you want to succeed,
03:03when you cook,
03:05look for an important dish
03:07that only you have.
03:09Only you.
03:10Like your niche.
03:11Yes.
03:12Like a signature dish.
03:13What is that?
03:14The food board came in.
03:16The food board.
03:17I have someone at home,
03:19here in Bago Bantay,
03:20that I told her,
03:21just find me a dish
03:23that we can present.
03:26As a specialty.
03:27Yes.
03:28She said, okay.
03:29She went there and said,
03:30this in Taytay,
03:32this is famous,
03:33this is called Budbod.
03:34So when this Holy Grail came in,
03:37Budbod,
03:39how much did you earn?
03:41What?
03:45Just an idea.
03:46Estimate.
03:47Estimate.
03:48Tell me when you reach 50,000.
03:50Wow.
03:52From 250 pesos a day.
03:54Yes.
03:55It will be 50,000.
03:56That's a long time.
03:58Did you have a lot of refs?
04:02Back then?
04:03Yes.
04:04When I started?
04:05Yes.
04:06In the store?

04:12when I had a ref,
04:13we were already in college.
04:14But even then,
04:16my brother didn't have a ref.
04:17Really?
04:18We didn't have a ref.
04:19We didn't have a television,
04:20we just watched from our neighbor's house.
04:22You see,
