PART 2 | FOREIGNER NA NAGTITINDA NA LANG NGAYON NG EMPANADA, TINULUNGAN NI IDOL!
00:33.8
I stay here for good because I had a job offer. That's why I need the resident visa so that I can work.
00:40.6
But we have a problem though. We have to talk to the immigration and see if that's possible.
00:44.9
Kailangan niya pong i-update ang kanyang visa. Kailangan po yung kanyang fines and penalties are settled.
00:51.6
Tomorrow morning, someone will accompany you to the immigration office
00:56.0
and to which we will be...
00:59.0
I will be talking to immigration lawyer which will be paid by me after that consideration that
01:04.7
after paying your fines and penalties, if you can stay here, if the immigration can give you a visa
01:10.1
since you are a productive member already of Filipino society because you're not begging,
01:16.3
you're not getting any benefits from the government.
01:21.2
Yeah, because you're working.
01:22.4
Sometimes they offer me ayuda, so-called, but this is an offering. I do not have to accept, but...
01:29.8
You're not a baggage to the Filipino people.
01:32.8
In fact, you are being, like I said, being a productive member of society by selling empanada
01:38.0
and you're making money out of that and that's how you survive and we appreciate that.
01:42.6
And maybe you're qualified to stay here and I don't know what kind of visa the Philippine government
01:46.8
through the immigration will be able to give you.
01:49.5
And we're doing that because of Ms. Carrie who's been very kind in showing the Filipino hospitality.
01:59.0
That, I would say, Philippines are a nice country, basically.
02:04.3
Not only the women and the mentality and...
02:09.8
How many orders do you have now?
02:11.1
She doesn't have any orders. How many days?
02:12.2
I have online orders.
02:13.5
Online orders for the moment.
02:15.4
So, right now, for the moment, how much money do you have in your bank?
02:18.0
I still have money in my TikTok shop.
02:21.6
How much money do you have?
02:22.7
I have around 3,000 to 4,000.
02:26.4
But I still have money in my bank one month before I get it.
02:31.4
So, how do you survive? What kind of food do you eat?
02:33.7
Empanada every day, morning, afternoon, and evening?
02:38.0
Did you eat lunch already?
02:40.8
Yeah, yeah. I did already.
02:42.5
What did you eat for lunch?
02:44.9
How about last night, dinner?
02:47.3
What was your dinner?
02:49.2
I think it was sopaw.
02:51.6
But she only eats instant food.
02:53.5
Oh, that's very healthy.
02:54.2
Some times. Not always.
02:56.5
She doesn't have an option to cook.
03:00.2
I do not have a cooking section.
03:01.8
Ayaw niya ata kasi baka masunog daw po yung pinitirad niya.
03:05.8
So, you're buying food.
03:06.8
So, where do you get the money to buy for your food every day, morning, lunch, and evening?
03:12.0
Selling empanada.
03:14.9
Yeah, some ano po, sa benta ng empanada.
03:17.8
Okay, let me see your wallet.
03:20.7
Wallet reveal. Is that okay?
03:25.1
It's not so much.
03:25.9
It's not so much.
03:31.0
Just for to survive.
03:32.6
Yes, for to survive.
03:35.8
This one is not valid.
03:38.0
Some people writing on the bills.
03:40.5
One, two, three, four, five.
03:47.5
It's mine already.
03:52.3
How you gonna survive?
03:53.3
How you gonna survive?
03:57.5
This is mine already.
03:58.5
Sir, I'm just kidding.
04:05.4
We're going to swap.
04:12.3
Minimum can pay the jeepney at home.
04:17.5
I'll give you ten.
04:19.6
This is for your pocket money.
04:21.8
And then tomorrow, we'll get a company to immigration.
04:24.3
We'll pay for your...
04:26.5
And then if everything goes well with immigration,
04:29.0
I'll pay in advance one year for your rental in your apartment.
04:34.5
Oh, this is two-five only.
04:38.5
So I have to talk with my landlady.
04:40.5
We'll talk with the landlady.
04:41.5
We'll take care of everything you need.
04:44.0
I have her because...
04:45.0
Electricity, water, and oil.
04:46.0
I need to pay then in advance by GCash.
04:51.0
She have a GCash.
04:52.0
I don't have GCash.
04:53.0
No, I'll pay cash.
04:56.0
I'll pay for one year advance.
04:58.5
But first, we have to settle your problem with the immigration.
05:01.5
If the immigration said, we can't help him,
05:03.5
we have to send him back to Germany, then there's no point me...
05:06.5
I'm not a criminal.
05:07.5
I know. I know that, sir.
05:08.5
I didn't say you're a criminal, but I know that.
05:09.5
But first, it depends on the immigration what they'll say.
05:12.5
We'll do our best to make sure, convincing them that to allow you to stay here and have a job.
05:18.5
That's what I'll do for you because of her.
05:21.5
My wife will come back.
05:23.5
You don't have a wife.
05:24.5
You're still praying that your wife will come back to you?
05:26.5
It's a hope only.
05:28.0
Hope dies at last.
05:29.0
Are you not looking somewhere?
05:30.0
You might look in the wrong way.
05:39.0
I'll take good care of you.
05:40.0
Like I said, we'll get you a good apartment.
05:42.0
Maybe not that apartment we're staying now.
05:44.0
We'll get you a better apartment.
05:46.0
We'll set it up and then I'll pay one year in advance
05:49.0
and then set you up for a business that would make good money for you.
05:53.0
And what kind of business would that be?
05:55.0
Where you can stay here and you can survive
05:57.0
and you can live a normal life.
05:59.0
Well, Carrie knows that I'm also an artist.
06:02.0
You're an artist?
06:04.0
I thought you said you wanted to have a food stand.
06:08.0
She wants a physical store for the empanada.
06:10.0
Good. For the empanada.
06:11.0
And this is good for the...
06:12.0
We have some people...
06:14.0
You know some people, they want to resell.
06:16.0
Maybe we can set you up like an empanada bakery store.
06:21.0
You have an oven, you know, and what else?
06:26.0
Kitchen, stuff like that.
06:28.0
Yeah, it's also enough.
06:30.0
And she's going to help you.
06:31.0
And you're going to have your own people.
06:33.0
And I mean for space for me that I can create also.
06:43.0
That will all be possible.
06:44.0
But first things first, we need to take care of your problem with the immigration.
06:48.0
That's the first step.
06:50.0
And the secondary thing...
06:52.0
Can you see that, sir?
06:59.0
The hernia inguinal.
07:04.0
I didn't want to scare you.
07:05.0
Sorry to the doctor.
07:08.0
I wanted to show the art craft.
07:11.0
What are you trying to show me?
07:14.0
Yeah, sure, sure.
07:15.0
I have here some drawings.
07:16.0
Oh, these are the drawings.
07:18.0
These are my designs because I make...
07:27.0
Unlike you see the emojis in Facebook and other way, in internet, I create my own
07:36.0
ones and they're looking like pins, you can wear it.
07:48.5
This would be on the side, but primarily would be the store, you know, selling empanadas.
07:54.0
And then on the side, you'll be doing this, which will be an additional income.
08:00.0
That was my idea.
08:01.0
That's why I wanted to show you that.
08:04.0
But this is good though.
08:05.0
I really appreciate that.
08:06.0
No, this is beautiful.
08:07.0
This is wonderful.
08:08.0
This is done by you?
08:10.0
How much do you sell something like this?
08:12.0
This is size A2, maybe 3,000.
08:15.0
Depends on the picture, what is inside.
08:18.0
How about if you were...
08:19.0
Come here, Sherry.
08:20.0
How about if you make a frame of my stuff?
08:22.0
This is not a piece.
08:23.0
It's here in the...
08:27.0
Anyway, I'm just joking.
08:28.0
So ngayon, tutulungan natin si ate sa anong bago?
08:31.0
Siyempre si ate tulungan natin kasi matulungin siya.
08:36.0
Matulungan natin.
08:42.0
Third year college.
08:43.0
Anong inaaral mo?
08:44.0
Mechanical engineer po.
08:55.0
Thank you so much.
08:57.0
Can I give you ten?
08:58.0
I'll give you another...
09:03.0
I'll give you five.
09:09.0
Thank you so much, Senator.
09:12.0
How about you have a request?
09:13.0
You had a request.
09:14.0
What's your request?
09:15.0
Can we take picture of the wall?
09:19.0
Come closer, sir.
09:25.0
So, thank you, sir.
09:27.0
Thank you, ma'am.
09:28.0
I have to thank you, sir.
09:30.0
And I wish you all the best every year.
09:31.0
We'll see you again.
09:32.0
We'll update na lang po.
09:38.0
Sir Marco, how are you, sir?
09:53.0
So, I know that you're a brother since the last time you went to the program, and
09:56.1
you were able to talk to Senator Rafi.
09:59.6
And how do you feel right now, sir?
10:00.6
I feel fine, first that, and greetings to all.
10:03.7
You can see me in the TV.
10:07.2
I was really surprised at Senator Rafi Tull for receiving my request, and that he decided
10:15.6
also to help me as he can, because I'm not like other foreigners.
10:22.0
I'm not homesick.
10:23.0
I do not have any duties there in my country what I have to do
10:27.1
because everything what I have is here in the Philippines.
10:30.0
So for that, I'm very, very happy to stay here with you and with Carrie.
10:34.7
And yeah, let's roll on with the empanadas and cookies.
10:39.0
And of course, si Ma'am Carrie naman, ma'am,
10:40.7
kumusta kayo simula nung nakasama niyo si Sir Strumpy doon at na-meet niyo si Senator?
10:46.4
Okay naman po. Sobrang grateful po ako nung nakita ko rin po si Senator Rafi Tuls
10:51.2
at pinaunlakan niya po kami ni Sir Marcos Trump
10:54.2
na hindi po namin in-expect na talagang blessings talaga na dumarating ngayon kay Tatay Empanada.
11:00.3
You mentioned that you were married with a Filipina?
11:03.5
I'm still married with a Filipina, yeah.
11:05.4
When was the last time you talked to her and the last time you saw her, Sir?
11:09.5
The last time I saw her yesterday at the court in Manila
11:13.0
because we had a hearing there yesterday
11:15.1
but because of the fiscal, the fiscal was not available
11:19.5
so we shifted the hearing.
11:21.2
During the next trial in June, she filed an annulment.
11:25.3
If she can succeed with the annulment, I don't know.
11:28.5
It still depends on the Lord and on the judge.
11:31.5
Before the empanada business, Sir, what was your first job?
11:35.0
I'm creating upcraft. I make pins and buttons and creating magnets.
11:41.5
So you sell those?
11:44.3
Nagkita ko siya sa kahabaan ng San Joaquin sa Pasig kung saan nagtitinda po siya nung empanada and yung cookies niya.
11:49.7
Then napukaw talaga yung attention ko sa kanya.
11:52.7
Matagal natin daw nakikita siya doon ng mga tita ko.
11:55.2
Then nung nakita ko siya, bumili ako sa kanya ng isa.
11:58.6
Nung una, tobrang na soft-hearted na talaga ako sa kanya nung nakita ko siya.
12:02.2
Tapos nung nakausap ko pa siya at nalaman ko yung life niya, talagang grabe, sobrang naawa ako.
12:07.3
Like yung sa mga sitwasyon niya, nang nangyari.
12:09.6
Kaya ayun, tinry ko siyang videohan, baka sakaling ma-discover
12:12.9
kasi hindi naman talaga ako totally madaming followers sa TikTok.
12:16.2
Ito lang lately lang talaga na biglang nag-boom yung video niya.
12:19.7
Kaya ayun, nagtuloy-tuloy na po.
12:21.5
Now sir, going back to the first time that you met Ma'am Carrie, how was it?
12:26.0
Did you expect that through her video, you went viral and a lot of people noticed your story?
12:32.0
When Carrie came and she asked me to, she wanted to take a video from while I'm selling empanada and so,
12:39.0
I said, yeah, I was agree because it only can help to sell something more.
12:43.7
I was thinking then, okay, this is good for the business.
12:47.6
Let's talk about the empanada itself.
12:49.7
Can you tell us, Ma'am, what are the flavors, Ma'am, of your empanadas?
12:53.6
We have five flavors of empanada.
12:55.6
First is yung classic chicken, second, ham and cheese, third, classic tuna, spicy chicken, and spicy tuna.
13:02.7
Wow, ang dami. Parang nakakam ako bigla.
13:04.8
From my experience about selling, it's almost two years I'm selling empanada now.
13:09.3
So I have to assure the quality also to the customer because I'm the salesman.
13:13.1
So for that, I have a little bit responsibility also regarding the customer.
13:17.8
Ngayon, Ma'am, dito sa pagbebibigay.
13:19.7
Nagbebenta niyo ng empanada, Ma'am, bilang kayo yung supplier.
13:22.9
Dati na rin kayo nagbebenta, Ma'am, ng empanada or you just started it because of Sir Marco
13:27.8
para masuportan, matulungan din siya?
13:30.0
Actually, hindi talaga kami nagbebenta.
13:32.5
Pero may background kami when it comes to baking shop.
13:35.4
Kasi yung grandfather ko is may-ari siya ng bake shop before, nung nabubuhay pa siya.
13:41.1
So, kumbaga, talagang happy niyo rin, Ma'am, ang mag-bake?
13:44.3
Pag-usapan natin yung bentahan. Magkano, Ma'am, ang isang peraso ng empanada?
13:49.7
And, syempre, since si Sir yung nagbebenta, syempre may commission siya.
13:53.3
Magkano rin ang kumbaga commission ni Sir sa kanyang pagbebenta?
13:57.0
Ang benta po namin ng empanada ngayon is 25 pesos.
14:01.0
So, binabenta namin siya through online orders like TikTok.
14:04.3
So, tinaasan namin siya ng 5 pesos kasi dati 20 siya.
14:07.3
Kasi unlucky po ng commission or cut ni TikTok.
14:10.4
Ang hatian po namin ni Tatay sa online is 50-50 kasi para mapaikot yung puhunan.
14:16.8
Kapag kasi hindi napaikot, hindi mag-work out yung...
14:20.3
So, ayun, nagkahari kami through HAFA.
14:23.8
Sobrang thankful din ako kasi nakilala ko din siya.
14:27.1
And, ang dami ko rin natutunang mga bagong lesson.
14:30.7
Kasi minsan ina-advise sa niya din ako.
14:32.2
Kasi sa age is, mas matanda siya sa akin.
14:34.5
So, mas may nalalaman pa akong mga...
14:36.8
Di ko pa nalalaman sa mga advice na sinasabi niya.
14:42.5
Hopefully, the empanada and cookies will expand more and manifest that.
14:49.7
We need to sell the cookies nationwide.
14:51.7
We just have to figure out how we do it with the best transportation, delivery, and so on.
14:57.3
We are really looking forward, sir.
14:59.3
Sir Rafi is here to support you with your business with Ma'am Carrie.
15:03.3
Tulad ngayon, ma'am, as per Sir Rafi naman, eh, hanap kayo ng shop na parang hindi na siya lalayo-layo pa.
15:08.6
Doon lang siya sa shop niya and tumatanda na rin si sir.
15:11.6
So, that's one thing.
15:13.1
And second, sir, is of course, we will process your immigration, visa, your penalties and fines.
15:19.3
We are overstaying now in here, the Philippines.
15:21.3
And we will accompany you to the immigration.
15:23.9
The fees, the penalties, Sir Rafi will be the one to pay for that, sir.
15:28.1
Another request was regarding your health, the surgery.
15:33.7
So, we will also assist you with that, sir.
15:47.6
Sir Marco, we are now finally here.
15:49.1
The immigration, if we have here, Ma'am Dana Sandoval, he will be the one to assist us, sir, to all your concerns.
15:55.1
Yes, today, maaayos na natin ang kanyang visa, so ma-update na ang kanyang stay.
15:59.9
Thankfully po, sa tulong din ng ating mga staff, of course, ng inyong pong programa, matutulungan na po siya upang ma-update ang kanyang visa.
16:07.1
And from there, meron tayong mga options kung ano ang pwede niyang kunin para manatili siya ng mas matagal dito sa Pilipinas.
16:14.1
Nabanggit niya kanina doon sa pag-uusap natin na siya ay inaalok ng trabaho ng isang company here in the Philippines, which is owned by a Filipino-German, kanyang kalahik.
16:24.1
So, I think magiging magandang tulong ito sa kanya, maaari siyang isponsoran for a work visa noong kampanyang iyon upang makapanatili siya dito ng matagal.
16:33.1
There's also an option na mag-retire siya dito if he chooses to get retiree's visa, which is issued naman by the Philippine Retirement Authority.
16:42.1
Siguro, depende iyon sa magugustuhan.
16:44.1
Kung ano ang nais niyang mode ng pananatili dito ng mas matagal.
16:49.1
Pero definitely, aalalayan natin siya all the way para makuha niya po yung visa niya at yung inaasam-asam niya na maayos na po na stay niya dito sa Pilipinas.
16:58.1
I will go along with the working visa.
17:01.1
I know that I have to renew it every couple of years.
17:05.1
And I go along with that because for my part, my consideration is the most secure visa,
17:14.1
I can get because I'm sure that I get a job.
17:17.1
And even if it's not that company, I have many other companies where I applied for.
17:24.1
They have me in their database like Concentrix or other BPO.
17:29.1
They like to have my abilities to put it.
17:31.1
The chance to get a job here is not a problem.
17:34.1
But without resident visa or working visa, it is a problem only.
17:38.1
I hope you enjoy your prolonged stay here in the Philippines.
17:42.1
That finally your visa problems have been resolved.
17:45.1
And we are moving forward to apply for a better visa for you so you can stay here longer in the Philippines.
17:52.1
I'm very happy that you chose the Philippines as your new home.
17:56.1
I think you're really one of the foreign nations who have really loved the Philippines.
18:01.1
And we're very happy to welcome you here because we can feel the love.
18:04.1
And I think you really deserve to stay here longer, to be with your friends, to be with your family here in the Philippines.
18:12.1
Thank you very much.
18:16.1
Thank you so much.
18:20.1
Thank you very much.
18:35.1
We finally paid your overstaying.
18:37.1
All your fees are already paid with the help of Senator Rapi Tulfo.
18:42.1
So, you already have your passport right now and what are you feeling right now, sir?
18:47.8
I feel overwhelmed. My joy is endless and it's here in my heart.
18:54.4
Again, sir, this is just the beginning. Our next step is to apply you your working visa and then we need to follow up, check up, operations, and of course, as premise basis senator, your business with Ma'am Carrie.
19:12.1
Thank you very much.
19:42.1
Only when I'm sit or sleep, then I don't have that pain.
19:45.8
When did that started?
19:47.2
I think it was one or two years ago. I've been helping a friend to bring his motorcycle into the house inside and I was on the back part and I lifted it up and maybe that's the cause that I have that.
20:03.4
Have you had a consultation before with a doctor?
20:08.7
Last year, I was in San Francisco.
20:12.1
I went to the Skyline Hospital. There's a specialist for gastroenterology problems.
20:20.5
He recommended me to make an ultrasound of the whole abdomen, a blood test, and something.
20:28.5
But lack of budget for this because I do not have that much income from selling empanadas so I could not realize it yet.
20:38.2
And so, now I try it again.
20:40.1
What we're gonna do right now is...
20:42.1
We'll have to do some blood tests, some series of x-rays and ultrasound to check, okay, if that is really an hernia, alright, and then I'll have to do some physical examination also for me to check.
21:12.9
What kind of results do you expect?
21:16.9
This is your results.
21:18.3
You have a very good blood sugar control.
21:20.3
You have very good uric acid.
21:22.3
Your kidneys are good, cholesterol, liver... Very good.
21:26.2
Your coagulation studies are good meaning to say you don't have any problems with blood.
21:31.1
Although you have a very, very mild anemia, okay, which is acceptable for your age.
21:36.8
You don't have any UTI, no hypertension as well.
21:41.1
Your chest x-ray says...
21:41.4
Your chest x-ray says...
21:42.0
It says you have a little bit of lead in your right side of your lungs.
21:46.2
For now, we'll have to concentrate on treating your pneumonia.
21:50.9
