    2. Lol that’s not even a Lululemon hair tie for that price. 🤣 save your money for a worth it-hair tie

    3. Typical social climbers! Yuck! 11:07 & 11:33

    4. Sinong t@ng@ naman bibili nyan? Afford ko yan pero mga taong hindi lang gumagamit ng utak o TH magpakasosyal ang bibili nyan. Same quality lang sa tig 150 pesos na scrunchie pero magtatapon ka ng 1000+ hahahhaa 🤣 it's jlnot giving sosyal vibes, it's giving uto uto vibes, girl

    5. True. Pero that’s legit tubong lugaw halata

    6. @12:50 I came from a well-to-do background, lalo na sa side ng mom ko. But I won't buy that ugly scrunchie either lol. I'd rather just donate that money straight up! Our long time kasambahay knits way better looking and good quality of scrunchies, which I love wearing.
      Si smiley penoys obvious naman na 🤡 yan. Rage bait is a meal or meals for that person.

    7. Duh? Kahit sino kaya bumili ng ganyan ate. Hindi deserve ng founder kumita sa ganyang business. Sa ibang totoong local nalang. Napaka impokrita mo.

      Delete
    8. i can afford that as well, but I am not going to buy that. pag sinuot mo yan di naman malalaman ng mga to na tig 2k yan. daming magagandang ganyan sa quiapo at divisoria. gawa ba sa ginto ang tela nya? di bale na. yung 2k ko maraming mabibiling bagay.

      Delete
    9. I sure can afford that. but why buy that if it's the same scrunchie sa shoppee and does the same thing?? utak mo ha

      Delete
    10. Gurl I can buy a set or 2 but I would rather buy the 50 pesos scrunchies sa bangketa ang give livelihood sa totoong gumagawa at nagbebenta nito. Laking insult ng $1 donation sa ₱2000/pc price.

      Delete
    11. Andami niyan sa divisoria Ati. Ginamit mo pa bahay kubo na brand name. Hindi bagay sa tinda mo. Try again!

      Delete
    12. Afford ko nman and yet this is still insulting. Like, kung gusto ko tlaga makatulong sa Pinas by buying local goods, eh punta and buy directly na lng ako sa mismong source than buying this sh*t bahay kubo store. Nakatulong pa ako sa turismo ng lugar nila.

      Delete
    13. 12:29 and 12:50 idol. May gumagamit p b scrunchie ngaun? Naaalala k dati free lng yan pg bumili ka shampoo at 30 pesos lng isa

      Delete
    14. Free lang yan o 5 piso

      Delete

    1. Kahit designer pa yan, a piece of cloth at elastic band. Kahit ikaw makakagawa niyan. Gamitin ang brain cells, sayang naman.

      Delete
    2. So kung Chanel yan bibilhin mo kahit nasa 5-8k ang price? I mean what’s the point kung isisipin naman ng ibang tao na nabili mo yan sa Divisoria? Ang sakit lang sa dibdib di ba? Hehe

      Delete
    3. At 1:58 meron talagang hair accessories ang mga luxury brands meron nga simpleng headband na 15k ang price. Ang difference lang made of silk ung headband at printed logo sa mismong tela siya.

      Delete
    4. I bought lots of it because i can afford.

      Delete
    5. sobrang mura nyan sa Amazon or Shein, wholesale pa and velvet and silk at marami na for under $10

      Delete
    6. 1:58am believe me kung chanel yan basta may CC na logo may uto-utong bibili kahit 20k

      Delete
  3. Paano nakakalusot ang ganyan? Tsaka dapat ipagbawal yang mga tradisyonal na pangalan na related sa ph. Ano yan bahay kubo? Ano kunek? Parang masabi lang na unique or something. Nakakasira sa image ng mga Pilipino.

    1. Actually I did a quick search about her business. Nabasa ko sa About tungkol sa kung pano nag start business niya. She was clearly using her roots to promote her business. She’s Fil-British based in NY.

    2. Pano nasira image ng pilipino nyan?

      Delete
    3. 8:21 Bahay Kubo pangalan eh tapos overpriced. Parang abusado mga Pilipino sa pera.

    2. Made up of good quality silk but still overpriced

    4. According to the product description: The color material for the gold colored scrunchies was mixed with gold dust; platinum for the silver colored scrunchie; ivory for thw white one; and copper for the brown/copper colored scrunchie. As such and because of the intricate and painstaking effort in the design and production which is hand made by art courtesans in China and Southeast Asia they come up with these products that will satisfy the upper fashonistas around the world.

    1. 11:38 if LV ok lang na mahal kasi luxury brand name.

    2. 12:22 remove that brand name and makikita mo n their products re really not worth it. ✌️✌️

  8. Yung gamit na gamit niya ang Filipino culture and the local groups pero ang donation is P50 from a P2,000 worth item na mabebenta? I'd rather buy directly from a local artisan.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Ah, so ito pala yung meme na nakita ko sa page sa FB na may may mga nagfi-flex ng sanrio na pantali sa buhok. Hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  10. anong meron bakit mahal?? serious question.. if its from well known luxury brand maintindihan ko pa kasi you are buying the brand name. eh ito hindi naman kilalang brand so it must be the materials used.

  11. Kung namamahalan kayo, obviously you’re not the target market. Though nothing special sa tinda nya, might as well, sell it sa international market mas magkaka chance sha.

    1. But if you look at the bigger picture, it's not an issue of whether you can afford it or not. She's obviously selling it to rich people under the pretense na it's promoting Filipino culture and at the same time helping local communities/NGOs in the Philippines when the reality is singkwenta pesos lang naman ang mapupunta sa donasyon for every item na mabebenta. Pero if yung raw materials naman ay galing mismo dito sa atin at yung mga worker ay Pinoy at kumikita sila ng tama, then walang problema.

    2. This 1:38. Yan talaga ang point bg karamihan.

    3. 1:38 THIS!!!

    4. Sp sino ba target nya since she used the name BAHAY KUBO to promote her brand? Alam kya nya na bahay kubo means simpleng bahay - a nipa hut actually - where low class Phil citizens lived? How can you connect that to her overly expensive items na di naman kilala? DTI should look at this matter seriously.

  12. I understand if its handmade medyo mataas presyo. But these scrunchies?? Hala, taz bahay kubo ang brand eme ? Wala sanang bumili sayo!

    1. Correct its just a scrunchies!!! Tpos 50 pesos lang ang donation out of 2k!? Im really not a target market if this bs dahil hndi ako st*pida

      Delete
  13. Funny that they are saying na target market is “rich” pero gamit na gamit ang “bahay kubo” which is associated with a simple pinoy life haha! How contradicting! Pinagkakitaan ang kultura at ginagawang uto uto ang tao. Palitan na lang ng “forbes mansion” lol kung yun talaga target niyo.. Ginamit pa bahay kubo

  14. Pwede ata yan isanla eh

  15. Yan ang tawag sa free economy. Di naman yan needs para mag reklamo kayong overpriced, so kung may money to burn ka why not. If wala mag divi ka nalang. Walang pilitan.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Paanong target market is mayaman kung hindi pa naman kilala ang brand. Yun LV and the likes ganun ang presyo kasi kilala na at made in Europe na malaki ang sahod.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hindi nama kasi kayo ang market nila, bakit kayo nagrereklamo? Sa Divisoria kayo pumunta!

    ReplyDelete
  18. What's weird is... this company is based in the US. So di ko magets kung bakit g na g yung mga pinoy content creators, dahil mahal??? If it was because of using "bahay kubo", sure. Kung yun sana ang pinuputak ng butsi. But the target market is US, bakit nagrereak mga pinoy T_T hindi nyo naman sure how much they have to pay for taxes, etc. Isa pa, strategy din talaga yung mahalan ang price ng isang murang item para magkaron ng premium feels/exclusivity kuno—kasi meron talagang market/people na ganyan ang trip.

    ReplyDelete
  19. if it is Hermes or LV, Van Cleef or Tiffany you have no problem parting with your money to buy their overpriced products yet if an unknown does it you are suddenly outrage.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Catering to the higher class mga Alta. Kung me social climber, ito naman under the pretense na nag papadown to earth sila to use locally made/sourced item na mukhang cheap only but ridiculously priced since their target market can afford.

  22. Sana ganyan din kayo manindigan laban sa mga kurakot sa gobyerno.
    Hindi ko sinasabi na okay lang magbenta ng ganyang kamahal na pantali ng buhok.
    Ang sakin lang, sana ganyang energy at dedication din ang meron ang mga commenters dito laban sa tiwaling gobyerno.

    1. Auntie naman, tsismisan site kasi ito. Some people would rather talk about showbiz instead of politics. Ibigay mo na samen yun. Kung sagad sa buto talaga yang pagiging rebolusyonaryo mo, ilagay mo sa tamang lugar yang paninindigan mo. Sumali ka sa mga grupo o alyansa against the government, sumama ka sa mga rally at protesta. Gawin mo kung anong gusto mo at hindi ka namin pipigilan. Pero yang ganyang energy at dedication mo, walang lugar dito yan.

    2. Teh, naligaw ka ata. May meeting daw kayo sa labas ng EDSA shrine. Bakit di ka umattend?

    3. Mag protesta ka dun sa malacañang tungkol sa kurakot na gobyerno. huwag dito sa chismis site.

  23. Big deal ba yan? E kung bet niya na ganyan ang presyo e di bahala siya sa buhay nya. Kaloka lahat na lang issue sa mga Di maka afford.
