MANILA, Philippines — A 21-year-old woman in Isabela revealed that she’s earning P65,000 to P90,000 a month by selling ice. 

As seen on the GMA program “Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho,” Jodielyn Ugalde said that she and her family started doing “yelo” only for their eatery until the people around them started to buy ice from them. 

“Nagsimula kaming magtinda ng yelo dahil sa karinderya namin. Imbes na bumili kami sa iba ng yelo, kami na lang ang gumagawa,” Jodielyn said. 

“Dati, hiniram lang namin ‘yung freezer sa tito ko. May mga paisa-isang bumibili sa amin hanggang sa dumami sila nang dumami!” she added. 

Now, Jodielyn and her family are supplying ice to different markets and are earning P65,000 to P90,000 per month. 

“Hindi namin inaasahan! Nagkaroon na kami ng mga suki. Halos araw-araw na kami nauubusan ng yelo!

“Ngayon, nag-susupply na kami sa mga bagsakan at public market. Ang minimum na naide-deliver namin araw-araw is nasa 350 hanggang 500 piraso ng yelo.

“Kada buwan, nasa 65,000 pesos hanggang 90,000 pesos ang kinikita namin! Dahil sa pagbebenta namin ng yelo, nakakapag-aral ‘yung mga kapatid ko. Nabibili na namin ‘yung mga gusto namin. Hindi na kami nagugutom dahil may pambili na kami ng grocery kada linggo.”

Jodielyn claimed that she’s now the “Yelo Queen” of Isabela.

“Vina-vlog ko na rin ngayon ‘yung tungkol sa business namin. Hindi ko naman po inaasahan na magva-viral. May mga nagko-comment na po sa akin na, ‘CEO ba kayo ng yelo? Yelo Queen ka ba?’,” she said.
