00:00It's so hot, it's so hot.
00:02It's so hot.
00:04Dear businessmen, so that your heads won't get hotter,
00:08let's draw a strong vacation this summer.
00:13This is a resort in Batangas.
00:15You can rent it alone.
00:21This is the place where online personalities,
00:24like Baninay and Mon, get together.
00:26Online personalities, like Baninay and Mon.
00:31It has a Bali vibe because there are a lot of plants here.
00:35I really like the plants here,
00:37because it's like they're hiding you from them.
00:40We want the plants to stop appearing on your face.
00:43But before this amazing resort is built,
00:47Baninay and Mon went through a bitter experience.
00:51What I saved for this resort,
00:54I lost it.
00:55It's like a hole.
00:59At the start,
01:00I scammed almost P700,000.
01:08But they went through everything and accessed it.
01:17Dear businessmen, welcome to our resort!
01:20Let's go!
01:22There are two to seven people who can fit here.
01:25You can rent this place from P3,499 to P5,999,
01:32depending on the day and the duration of your stay.
01:35We have a receiving area.
01:37It's a dining area.
01:38It's a dining area.
01:39We have an outdoor kitchen here,
01:42because some people like to grill.
01:45We have a grill there.
01:47In the middle of the resort,
01:49there's a pool and jacuzzi.
01:50The rooms are cabin-style.
01:52This is our first bed.
01:54It can accommodate up to three packs.
01:59There's a queen-size bed inside.
02:01Electric fan.
02:02You can also charge your phone.
02:05We're here at our bonfire area.
02:12The vibes here are so good.
02:14True.
02:15What am I doing?
02:17Marshmallow.
02:18Oh, that's great.
02:19What am I doing?
02:20You're opening the key.
02:23But their favorite part of the resort is the view deck.
02:26I really wanted to show you the whole area when you stay here.
02:33The whole area.
02:35So, this is our view deck.
02:38You can see that you don't have any neighbors here.
02:41The houses are so far from each other.
02:43They say that Cebuans love to design.
02:46When you come in, you'll see our living room.
02:49We designed all of this.
02:51We bought the furniture.
02:53We have two artistic kitchens.
02:56The interior, all of that.
02:58The art, the designs, all of that.
03:01There are also things you can do here.
03:03We also have games and books
03:07that you can play here when you're bored.
03:10Aside from video games, you can watch Netflix and chill.
03:13They plan to have their own vacation.
03:16This business started when we came to Batangas.
03:20Because they're from Batangas.
03:22Their family sells land.
03:25So, we were able to buy it.
03:26Our business started because we love to staycation, vacation,
03:31and our family loves to swim.
03:33At first, it was just us.
03:35Then, eventually, we said,
03:37It's a waste of time if there's no room to rent.
03:41There's no one to stay.
03:42I said,
03:43It would be nice if we could earn money using this.
03:49They spent P700,000 in capital,
03:52but they ran out of budget.
03:55I'm doing this before my birthday.
03:57Because I thought I would swim on my birthday.
04:01Now, I'm going to swim with a nice cowboy.
04:04I'm going to cry.
04:08There are verandas and hammocks.
04:12So, there's nothing.
04:14I was scammed.
04:15I didn't finish that P700,000.
04:18I trusted the wrong person.
04:20The contractor that I saw online.
04:24So, it shouldn't be like that.
04:26You should really double-check.
04:28They promised us,
04:29That P700,000,
04:30for two to three months,
04:32the frame and pool will be finished.
04:36So, nothing happened.
04:37It's too good to be true.
04:38Maybe that's why we were scammed.
04:41The price shouldn't be like that.
04:44Like the plants surrounding their resort,
04:47Banina Yatbon chose to run out of money again.
04:50We've been saving for a long time.
04:52It ended up costing us P2,000,000.
04:55Including the land,
04:57the pool,
04:58the landscape.
05:00They took one step at a time
05:02to build their dream resort.
05:04Step by step.
05:05This first,
05:06then the pool,
05:07then the landscape,
05:09then the nice furniture.
05:11You don't have to spend a lot.
05:14Because their resort is less than a year old,
05:16they don't have an ROI,
05:18or Return On Investment.
05:20But somehow,
05:22we're able to recover from the expenses.
05:24She's able to sustain herself.
05:26We don't have any expenses.
05:28Even the improvements in the resort,
05:31came from the income of the resort.
05:33They used the advantage of being content creators
05:36to promote their business.
05:38We know how to market it.
05:40Because even before,
05:42Bond didn't have a resort like this.
05:44We also promote other Airbnbs,
05:47staycations.
05:48So we know how to attract people
05:52to come and visit.
05:55In business,
05:56it's important to have a strong support system.
05:59This is just her.
06:01Actually,
06:02all of this,
06:03I'm just a support system.
06:05She's everything.
06:06Eventually,
06:07we decided to partner up.
06:09Because we're partners in life.
06:11That's how it is.
06:12We also do business.
06:13So she bought the land next door.
06:15As partners in real life,
06:17they also face problems in business.
06:20I think the biggest disadvantage,
06:23because we also became different in business,
06:27is the communication.
06:28Because she likes something,
06:30I like something else.
06:31So this time,
06:32when she went to the resort,
06:33she took over everything.
06:35Maybe it's just hard.
06:37I just feel like,
06:38if your business partner is not that close,
06:41you won't get along.
06:42Because we're partners in life,
06:44we don't get along.
06:45Aside from being business partners,
06:47you should also choose your co-workers.
06:50My biggest lesson is,
06:51don't just rely 100%
06:54on building a business
06:57that you want to run.
06:59You should be the one
07:00who knows everything.
07:02I didn't expect that
07:03there's someone like that
07:04who will fool you.
07:06Be hands-on.
07:07You really need to know
07:08what to do.
07:09What you can do,
07:11you did it.
07:12Let's go!
07:13Until the business,
07:14no man is an island.
07:16Just make sure
07:17you're surrounded by the right people.
07:21I hope you enjoyed.
07:22And we're going to sleep now.
07:24Good night.
07:25Oh, wrong.
07:26We're not, we're not.
07:28We have a guest.
07:29We have a guest.
07:30We really have a guest.
07:31We're just cleaning here.
07:33They kicked us out.
07:58You
