No pandemic could stop seasoned singers Juris and Sitti from securing an extra income for their family particularly during the health crisis.
In the recent episode of "Magandang Buhay" -- where the two seated as guests -- they talked about their new endeavor, trying their hands in the online food business.
Sitti has been delivering Bacolod-style homemade chorizo through her Klim’s Chorizo, while Juris sells cookies, soft bread rolls, banana choco loaf, choco loaf, and other homemade goodies at her Made by Juris.
According to Sitti, her small food business started when they were able to sell the first three kilos of chorizo.
"Hindi ko akalain na mabebenta namin 'yon. So ngayon nasa mga 60 kilos kami of pork every week. So kapag nare-realize ko 'yung journey namin from that small beginning na ngayon ay mayroon kaming matatawag na negosyo, nakakakuha ako ng inspirasyon doon na hindi natitigil ng pandemic ang lahat ng creative processes or lahat ng creation na puwedeng magawa," she shared. "Kahit sa paligid natin parang wala, pero mayroon at mayroon tayong magagawa."
Juris said her latest endeavor was something that just fell into places.
"Kasi it's (baking) something that I enjoy doing. 'Yung husband ko in-encourage niya rin ako na go ahead. Kasi hindi ako negosyante. I don't know anything about it. 'Yung husband ko, marunong siya doon. So 'yung part ng preparasyon, ako lahat 'yon," she said, adding how hands-on she is that she even designed their logo and printed it as well.
"Pati ang costing ako na… tapos research research. Parang wow kaya ko, may napasaya ka rin."
But more than anything, she likes the fact that it was also a way for her kids to bond with her.
