A heartwarming video that tells the intertwined
story of family and success is making waves online.
The video, aptly titled Grandma’s Little Angel, tells the story of Kassie and her
grandmother Linda who used to run her own local chocolate shop in Lipa, Batangas.
After Lola Linda’s business closes down, Kassie continues the dream for her
beloved grandmother who has instilled in her the love for chocolate-making and
the passion to pursue her dreams.
The heartwarming video’s
emotionally powerful storytelling is courtesy of award-winning Filipino
director and cinematographer Dan Villegas. Villegas’ impressive portfolio
includes Cinemalaya entry Mayohan, and blockbuster hits like The Breakup Playlist, English Only, Please,
Bride for Rent and She’s the One.
“The first time I heard the concept
for Grandma’s Little Angel, I was excited to shoot it. Everyone
has a Lola, or someone they love, so
this is highly relatable,” he said. “I want the viewers to feel lucky that
there are people who love them, and that they should tell their loved ones how
appreciated and cherished they are.”
The video emphasizes a key aspect of success for
many entrepreneurial and hardworking Filipinos who persevere despite the
challenges—that it is best shared with people who inspired that success.
When it comes to running a business, most
Filipinos are fueled, not by their personal desire for fame, power and wealth,
but by their passion to give a better life for their loved ones, particularly
their families. Ask a Filipino entrepreneur, and you’ll likely hear a story about
their desire to let their parents or children experience a more comfortable
life. Or a story about how they want to fulfill a dream for their loved ones
who inspired them.
