90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way couple Brandan Denuccio and Mary Demasu-ay have a new business in the Philippines amid growing financial difficulties.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way couple Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay are getting married soon with the hopes of Brandan being able to legally work in the Philippines after their wedding. Brandan, 23, and Mary, also 23, have been quite a controversial couple on the reality TV show. Brandan and Mary’s 24/7 video calls were the talk of the season, with Mary’s jealousy and insecurities infuriating fans. The couple also didn’t have jobs, as Brandan was fired from multiple roles because of his commitment to Mary’s video calls. Mary couldn’t even continue her college studies because of Brandan being jealous.
Three months after Brandan moved to the Philippines, Mary revealed she was pregnant. They broke Mary’s grandparents’ rules by doing so, and Brandan’s lackadaisical approach toward life has been making Mary unhappy. Mary complained she was doing all the chores since she found out she was pregnant, while Brandan woke up late and played video games. According to Mary, Brandan changed, but not for the better. Amidst all this, Brandan proposes to Mary while their future remains unknown.
Mary & Brandan Opened A Grocery Store Outside Her House
In 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5, episode 13, Mary revealed that she and Brandan opened a store outside her house two months ago. Mary was selling groceries, snacks, etc., at the store. Mary came up with the idea because her grandmother owned a similar store when Mary was young. The customers were kids coming from the nearby school. Mary and Brandan visited a local variety store, or sari-sari store, as it’s called in the Philippines, to buy chips and candies with other items to stock their own store with.
Mary & Brandan Are $1,098 In Debt
Mary borrowed money from her friends so she could open her shop and buy the products. It was a lot of pressure for Mary and Brandan to make the business profitable. For instance, Mary and Brandan picked up items worth 470 Philippine Pesos ($8.60) and wished to sell them at 500 Philippine Pesos ($9.16) to make a profit of $0.56. Brandan wondered if they could charge more. Mary explained how the customers could always go to a store where they could get the item for cheap and stop buying from Mary’s store entirely. They had borrowed a total of 60,000 Philippine Pesos ($1098) from her friends.
Mary & Brandan Are Selling Bracelets On Instagram
Brandan and Mary were aiming to earn 1000 Philippine Pesos ($18) per month. Mary hated that Brandan wasn’t helping her out at the store. She wanted Brandan to wake up early and help at the store because customers were walking away when there was no one there. Brandan complained that his having a language barrier was making it difficult for him to cater to customers. Since Brandan was not a citizen of the Philippines, he wasn’t able to work legally in the country. Brandan started dreading their financial situation even more now because they had a baby on the way.
Brandan may have been looking for jobs, but the couple seems to be relying on their 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fame to make money. Brandan and Mary have Cameo accounts, and they have been selling bracelets via an online shop and trying to get their international followers to buy local Filipino snacks. There have been rumors that Brandan and Mary have been reportedly fired from the show. So, in that case, their reality TV career may have ended. It will be interesting to see how the couple puts their entrepreneurial minds to use to make their business a success.
