When Your Sari-Sari Store Tindera is a Korean.. | TRABAHO EP. 1

Hey guys! I know that you've all have been waiting for this series from the teaser video! As I've mentioned, this is a series I've been preparing for in the last few months--TRABAHO. 🇵🇭🇰🇷
Though there is no clear history, sari-sari stores were believed to have started back during the Spanish period or when the Philippines-Chinese trade began. Even so, sari-sari stores were an integral part of the Filipino culture and economy and will continue to be so.
Sari-sari stores are everywhere in the country, in rural and urban areas, and provide Filipino families a source of income for their daily needs. It’s a staple in every neighborhood. “Sari” translates to “variety” and so if you need a household good quickly, just walk a few houses down and you can buy whatever you need at a sari-sari store. It was also where the titas talk about the latest news or the titos would hang out, or where the children come to rest after playing. Sari-sari stores, in many ways, represented a sense of community.
In the first episode I try to be a SARI SARI store TINDERA for a day. Check out the episode to see what I have to share with you guys. 🙌 I really hope you guys enjoy it.
What job should I try next?

Really loved this video! Took me back to my childhood when I was still living in Cavite where I would always go to sari-sari stores to buy different kinds of chips and candies. The realization that everything's slowly shifting online hit me hard. There IS something really special about having human interaction when buying from a sari-sari. Thanks, Jessica for this series! Can't wait for more!!! Would love to see you as a Jollibee crew for an episode ☺ More power to you!

I'm a Filipino and I was taking our culture for granted. I wasn't really fond of the toxic filipino culture. But after binge watching Jessica's vlogs, I learned to appreciate the positive and beautiful side of things. This new series is awesome and it highlights one of the modern heroes of our day, the frontliner sari sari store "ate". I really believe Jessica will be on the "Most Influencial People in Asia" list someday. I admire you and everything you stand for! Hope we see each other someday since we are literally neighbors and just a few blocks away. :)

[@rggiii5089]

Ganda ng series :) This series captures the different aspect of Filipino Culture. Halos lahat ng ibang YT videos about Filipino Culture are about Language, Food, History, and tourist destination. Pero yung Trabaho ng mga ordinaryong Pinoy katulad ng Tindera sa Sari-Sari store o Karibderya, Barker at Driver ng Jeep o Tricycle, Taga-deliver ng Tubig, Kargador sa Palengke. These are also part of our Culture and we engage with them on a day to day basis. They are essential to the society. Excited na ako sa Next Episode. Sana ma try niyo maging assistant ng Jeepney Driver. "Oh Cubao Cubao Cubao!", "Pakiabot po ng Bayad. Saan eto? Ilan?" Hahaha

[@herbertraton3479]

Jessica's reaction is really cute. the way she said Libre and she's getting better and better in her tagalog.

"Sari-sari store gives a sense of community". Very good phrase P.S i never skip an ad, i dont know if that helps but will not skip in all of your video ✌✌

[@BeLIEveInTy]

This pilot episode is great~ I love how everything is carefully planned, and as usual, there's always useful information like how a vlog should be. The best part of this episode is how honest the ate/manang was with the change, especially how we're learning more with the culture. There's so much to learn, real life is just a blown up school where we're in charge of what we want to learn. I give this 10 gumamelas out of 10. Congratulations, Jessica and to your whole team~~~ Suggestion for future episodes that you might want to consider, but its completely fine if its not feasible: -If given the chance, can you please do farming strawberries in La Trinidad or in Baguio City? -Cooking/Making chicharon (Either Carabao or pig) in some factory -Karinderyahan

Additional info, sari-sari store was built to cater to the poor and give retail option since most grocery stores are far, items are in high prices and can only be bought in bulk.

[@PamelaCRosel]

I never knew watching someone sell in a sari-sari store would be so fun! I remember also selling in my tita's sari-sari store whenever she needs to buy products for the sari-sari store. I remember panicking whenever I cannot find the product they buy or when I did not know the product hehe.😚

Jessica I admire that you are willing to tackle any job no matter how big or small unlike other Filipinos who tend to be choosy in the kind of work they are willing to do. That is true of the Koreans I've seen here in the States especially the first generations. Even if they could hardly speak English but their perseverance and hard work persist.

[@Ilaya593]

Jesssicaaaaaa! This video was a great way to start your "Trabaho" series! I was glued from start to finish. I shared in your excitement, panic, pride, desperation, etc. & other emotions you were going through. Yes, my heart goes out to those sari-sari stores that are an integral part of every barangay. I loved the way you interacted with the owner and her customers. You are very respectful, humorous, humble, and have this overall pleasant disposition. So sad that South Korea is having a terrible time with the pandemic. Infections are soaring through the roof! Wish your family is safe! 🧡

I certainly agree when you said that "Sari sari stores represented a sense of community." We owned a sari sari store when I was young, and I've seen people just drop by to get some stuff while enjoying a simple "chika". It can be a Al Fresco bar or chilling place to a tambayan or a place to chill until it's closing time. I miss that for sure.

[@alistairt7544]

Man, I miss going to my neighbourhood's sari-sari store and bakery. My mom would ask me to buy pan de sal, soft drinks, sometimes vinegar, soy sauce, and patis lol I loved buying chips and pancit canton when I was a kid. I'll make sure to stop by at one the next time I visit the Philippines. Loved the nostalgia 🥰

I like this video of you working as a sari-sari store vendor. I feel your panic whenever there is a huge amount of customers at the store especially buying multiple items one by one and it’s a bit confusing to familiarize the price of each items. At the end of the day it’s exhausting but it’s a rewarding and good experience for you that you’re able to adopt the culture in the Philippines. See you on your next episode like this. Stay safe and take care. 😊

[@AbsIni]

Thank you for this video, Jess. I grew up with us having a sari-sari store and I think this helps me sharpen my math skills. Hehehe.. I don't have trouble with my math operations in schools coz I get to apply it everyday in our store. My parents were able to send me to a private school because of it. The income from the store is really a big help to our finances back then. But then, I was not always happy to have our store back then coz I get to tend the store instead of playing outside with my friends or hang oit with my friends when I was in highschool. Imagine being a kid not able to play outside coz I have to be tending the store. Huhuhu.. But looking back it also was very fun coz, I can eat anything I want without paying it.. Hahaha.. Salamat, Nay for the free food and the skill I get tending the store although I may not have appreciated it that time. I got shocked with the prices if the cigarettes. I remember Marlboro cost only 1 Peso and Winston was 75 Centavos when I tend or store back then and the government was not strict then on who buy cigarettes. Anyway, the price of these cigarettes are bcoz of the Sin Tax which is used to finance various government projects.

It really is an eye-opener. Sana makita din kita in person,love you ate Jessica! Continue inspiring others and spreading love and positivity through your videos.

It's so adorable how you keep on counting in filipino when it'll be easier to do it in english. Looking forward for the episode of this series 😁

Jessica excellently captured what it means to live and thrive in a FIlipino community :> there's nowhere in the world where people become close-knit because a more intimate kind of exchanging goods. definitely unique to us. and to all sari sair owners, you all the bomb!!!!

I grew up with my grandparents who has a Sari-Sari Store in Bacolod. So nostalgic! Thank you for this video. 💕

I really loved and enjoyed watching this video, because my family has our own sari sari store and never have I taught that foreigners like you will survive all the pressure and roles of being a tindera, because I experience it myself but I'm just happy how you look so local and natural.. I'm looking forward to more of your contents ate Jessica and by the way I'm a huge fan of you so I really appreciate what you done Ate and you deserve all the love and support ate Jess, Stay safe po palagi.. Fighting..!
