I’m a bit sad this is her last on your channel sir, I see it so unique that you’re actually guiding her through towards her journey to a bright future..🙏🙏❤❤❤
Many names for her channel comes to mind such has her name and life or Mountain Life . Life in the Mountains. How ever because of her age she will have to leave the comments off. Let’s be honest a lot of nut jobs out there. I have seen some comments on other channels that I could not believe people would say even knowing the person on the channel is of age. But with all honest many guys will even say things they shouldn’t to the guys as well about the girls they see in the video.
Yes Dane. I hear you and appreciate you noticing the cyber tough guys on my channel. We structured a team, including both her parents, to manage the comment section. Angel agreed to stay off the comment section until she has PROPER guidance
@Q Adventures From my understanding because of her age YT wont allow comments I think. Sad to say but trusting is not easy on line many will say what they think others wish to hear or better yet offer to send money but for the most part not all really want to send money to help it is only for what will they get in return .
Great Job 👍🙏Enjoy your videos and information you share with us. Ideas 💡 for her channel name- Journey of Angel Gel, Princess Gel’s Journey, Gel’s Mountain High Life . Best of luck 🍀Gel with your channel!!
“Angel’s Village Life, Filipina Angel, A Filipina Girl,

** Happy Birthday to Angel!🥳 **
You are still exhibiting perverted behaviors and inappropriate thirst for young girls. You are Asian Jeffrey Epstein. Let’s boycott this guy from grooming and exploiting Asian girls (children)
My submissions for the channel name are ‘Layang Sukla’ (Goddess of Beauty) and ‘Angel of the Visayas’. A very fitting conclusion to this adventure Derek, looking forward to the next stop on your travels.✌
@Q Adventures Name sounds good, but in my opinion the name should include “Philippines” somewhere. It helps with Youtube’s search engine and will attract 10 times the views. Maybe, Gel’s Philippines or something…
Does your channel cover more of this particular place? I want to see more of it. Sorry, i discovered your channel yesterday so haven’t had the opportunity to check all your videos yet. Got me curious.
That’s ok. Thank you for your support. I put an emphasis on indigenous natural surroundings. Recently, my resources are more solid so I started pursuing philanthropy. I don’t do touristy stuff. If I do, it’s very rare and I have to find it fascinating enough
When my child is old enough to use internet i will put restrictions on how much time he stares at his phone and what he looks at to make sure he does not neglect outdoor and physical actvities along with studies and learning not watching tik tok facebook ig and other nonsense all day. I realize internet is now new to this family and they want to enjoy it but hopefully they will all not be glued to their phone as i see in this video all the time like so many western and richer kids. Also hope they not give out the wifi password to every kid in the baranguy and have them hanging around gels house all the time wasting every ones time and bandwidth better to open internet shop pisonets there and charge nieghbors for the use of their wifi use.
I’m pleased about your very non-exploitative approach to your subjects, and in fact giving back way more than you gained and setting things up for success to grow after you’re out of the picture. Very unique and forward-thinking.
I’m 100% ALL IN! and ahead of ya, been watching both long vids of Gel multiple times all day not skipping ads and will do the same on your girls channel and Gel’s. Gel is going to be a star as long as she sticks with it and stays consistent. Peace! and thanks for bringing us along.
Gel is very special for sure but the real rockstars are her parents that made her what she is, the province is full of very special humble children and they are all a part of the community of very humble and gracious people, I am so impressed with the Philippines and the province culture and cannot wait to visit
Your being able to step back from a series of videos that practically guarantee a high viewer count speaks highly of you.
While I loved the series on Gel, it was not enough to get me to subscribe.
Your decision to step back and give her a ready made audience gained my subscription
No, no. No bye bye. Pls stay tuned for updates on her own channel. You can support her by watching her channel. Help her become greatness so her family can help their own community, create jobs and such
It’s appropriate to move on… for her and her family… there are too many freaks in the world, to bring too much attention to them..she’s so innocent and naive about the world.. I would never put her location on the web…
I follow your adventures and I would like to commend you for all the charities that you are doing within your community. I hope that your stay there will be successful and will give you happiness! I will follow GEL when she’s ready and hope that she’ll be successful also without sacrificing her studies. PLEASE BE A GOOD MENTOR to her and I pray for all things that is good to come your name.
Everything seems to be moving pretty fast, hope she can handle all this new found attention, she’s from very humble and sheltered background. I hope people in the family don’t have too high of financial expectations, YouTube audience is a very finicky one.
Gel will only create content 1 day out of the week as she is a 12 year old student
Everything else will be handled by a team of adults that is already in place
“All good things must come to an end.” But this isn’t the end for Angel, it’s only the beginning. Anyone “hating” on a 12yo girl’s channel needs to seek professional help for THEIR mental illnesses. I wish this little lady all the best in the future, and thank you Q for bringing us this delightful lady.
Q’s Angel. Davao Angel. Thank you for all you’ve done to enlighten this sweet girl. My favorite artist is Shania Soeganda Yan. She lives entirely on her YouTube and other online videos. Hope Angel can find the same/similar success.
Q Adventure’s you and your side kick are a good couple and thank you for sharing for the premier of Jel on her birthday and nice of you of helping her start her channel we help a few people like that nd it feel’s so good to know that were able to help people who are eager to start their channel God bless and keep it goin’
A star is born, or a little monster? As we know attention for girls/women could be like a drug. I hope she doesn’t change her disposition a few years down the road. She has a lot of learning, it’s good to have a mentor.
She’s 12. Kids are cruel. Need to watch any social media she has to make sure her “friends” aren’t making negative comments she may see. It’s tough for adults. I personally wouldn’t designate anyone to get a “cut” of her earnings. Kids there are pretty good about turning over money to their parents. Don’t want her treated like a cash cow if the channel gets bigger. She should have an account that puts money for her future. It needs to be fun for her. I hope for the best but seen a number of kids not handle the attention well. Be careful. I’m not sure that excluding her from your channel is a great idea either. She’ll get exposure on your channel. She could potentially get backlash locally or at school. That kind of gradual exposure is good because she’d get prepped for what it will be like when she has a channel. Once she has a channel that makes money the family is likely not going to want her to stop. Just my opinion. My first trip to the RP was in 1985 and I’ve got lots of family over there. I just don’t want her to get quiet and introverted like some other kids I’ve seen on YouTube.
@candy man I love you man!!! All these are great points and we have covered most of them. However, some of your points I have overlooked. I will do a print screen so I can go over them with Gel and family. I love subs like yourself
@Q Adventures Companies I’ve worked for have done lots with influencers and ad revenue. Doing it right is important. An ability to receive direct donations and packages is a good thing. She brings people into her family life to show day to day activities and people will help. Watchers feel like a member of the family. They will definitely send money for home improvements and things to make life easier. Heck I’ve sent multiple packages, money, etc. I’ve seen guys buy land and build people houses because they saw them on a Youtube channel. I’ve seen inappropriate things sent in packages but opening packages on camera is important. Just need an adult there at all times. Eventually the family is going to have some type of emergency. Having the ability for direct help will be critically important since families over there have to pay medical costs before services are provided.
@Q Adventures yea sorry man….I got molested by a family friend when I was a kid and I have a daughter around her age so I guess you can say I’m emotionally scarred. Especially when theirs a huge economic disparity between the 2 parties.
@cantcornerthedorner wow… I’m sorry about your past and I understand your fatherly instinct. I am also a father, but my boy is going on 18. We are in a different world in the Philippines. Goodness exists here. Just pure, honest goodness. Give me a chance.🙏
I am impressed with your judgement in stepping away from continuing to have her on your channel…good decision. Once she starts her channel she will do her own thing but two channels that I might suggest that she could look at for some inspiration are “beautiful life with joan and aimee” and “peter white”. Many/most of their videos just show daily life without much commentary…if she does some in this style it might provide her some relief from the pressure to have clever commentary in every video.
“Come chill with Gel” … “Come along with Gel” … “Come Adventure with Gel” ………. maybe one of Gels first series is learning to swim 🤔 …. Great job Q and Ai
Gel deserves her Privacy, for she is under age, She can share her own Channel and be a happy child growing into adulthood. You can never get this opportunity in Vietnam, Philippines is a democratic Country we have freedom of Speech and 90% Christian as an Asian Country. Our country was base on the U.S.A. influence and since we were colonized by the United States that’s why our English language is Americanize and westernized compared to other Asian Countries! Sometimes I think foreigners take advantage of our people thinking we are too naive because of our open minded, hospitable, friendly easy going nature, but not all Filipinos are like that, We are aware of what the foreigners intentions are, but some have a purpose.🇵🇭
Province life with an AnGel, or Spend a day with an AnGel. I think you are doing this correctly Please have AI monitor her channel as she is a very young girl who looks a little older. I think you can make it so post have to be approved before they show or you can put key words in that keep them from posting until approved.
Yes Stan. All that has been mitigated. Ai, both her parents, and some of her school staffs will be involved full time while I continue to mentor her from afar and be fully involved if it’s called for
name of her channel I suggest “ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL” because soon she will start to fly in life and her videos will show her progress in every aspect. Her new channel will propel her rise to celebrity status and I hope she will remain sweet, caring and humble despite success. This project will primarily benefit Angel’s family but who knows it might also benefit other families in the mountain village.
That’s beautiful, Bon. I will continue to mentor her through and through. She WILL definitely help her community as she is already sharing her internet service with her schoolmates for free. Her reasoning was my channel supporters blessed her with it and she needs to share the blessing. I teared up

Great job brother u did to show us about her, i eish u and to them the best in life, so proud to have a kind of human being like u, Angel n her family will be protected by PRIME CREATOR, ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, As well your family, u are an amazing person, keep doing it as i told u before, u will be reward from above🙏😇💙
Thank you. Very heart felt. Once Angel reaches success in her channel, I will feel rewarded. Meanwhile, I have other kids and young adults that need a boost also
The old story of give fish eat for a day, teach to fish eat for life, this gift of Independence you give to Gel is worth far more than any amount of money 🙏👍
@Q Adventures Something I realised many years ago is philanthropy doesn’t have to be done with money (sure it’s easier with money), giving your time to help or teach is a form of philanthropy, I give my time to mentor young it professionals and create open source software that many people benefit from, but if everyone used one of their skills or abilities (just like you are) to help others the world would be a better place without needing a lot of money to get there 👍
Channel comes out hopefully you will put the name of her channel so we will be able to find her. And hopefully help her Channel grow. Videos you did on her just helped my thirteen-year-old daughter grow up and see what’s important thank you
Ooohhh… that brought a tear to my eyes know it helped your teen. I also brought my son here for the summer when he was 10 and he went home humbled. The Philippines has that kind of affect on kids
@Q Adventures I’m planning on visiting at the end of the year and bringing my daughter with me considering moving out there. I’m hoping she comes back to the US with a completely different view of life and what’s really important in life
Derek, first of all, thank you for introducing Gel and her family. You two do some amazing work. Some thoughts. The amazing Gel got the way she is without any real outside help or influence. Never is this more illustrated than in the way she was communicating (in her own special way) to you and trying so hard to get everything right and for your approval. Example: she would say something like, ” I can share you here. I can share you the place.” Or: ” It is a little bit of far. Do you want to go there?”
It is these little miscues that make her appear vulnerable and that are so endearing to her viewers. She doesn’t have to be perfect. She needs to be allowed to make these little ‘mistakes’. On this concern, you show a lot of foresight by deciding to step back and letting her progress and grow at her own pace.
When you two start to build the intro to her channel, please take some clips from your first video encounter with Gel. These will help tell her story in the most special way; as you first saw her. And these will be encounters that everyone can re-live each time they sign in.
For instance (and apart from the ones already mentioned), these gems: “Do you want to go to the garden? I’ll show you.”
And when you first step out of the trees–on the way to her garden–she simply says in her own understated way, “Look at the view”. Then this incredible mountain and garden scene–that you captured so well–unfolds before us.
When you ask her why she thinks people from our country go to the Philippines, she once again nails it: ” I think to enjoy and visit the beautiful view”.
These kinds of observations show that she has been insulated and shaped by her own community. Once she starts to produce her own content, I feel certain that she will prove this over and again.
This is what we all recognize has made her such a terrific find and a gift to all of us. She is not at all, worldly, and doesn’t need to trend in that direction. I think we have all seen instances of a precocious child (young entertainer, child actor) being leveraged as a ‘small adult’ . This NEVER works.
So when you start thinking about a name for her channel and the (so important) intro, it could focus on these themes:
“Danao Dreaming, one girls journey”, “Gel’s Philippine garden in the sky”, “Gel’s Mountain…I’ll show you”, These are the kinds of themes that can explain someone like her and keep her grounded.
The perfect ending to the intro could be no better than her invitation to you–you were asking about those mountains–(and to each of her viewers) to come back: “Maybe next time you can explore, there. I know that place.”
All you said is relevant and a gold mine. Where are you? If you are local, may I buy you a meal to get more insight from you? If you are afar, can you send me a message via messenger? I would love to share a conversation as I am not perfect. Only doing my best. But your input include some that I have overlooked and you can help a lot with your input. Check and balance
Shorts on YouTube and TikTok are amazing drivers for new subscribers. Utilise existing footage. In terms of not uploading the story with Anthony, a rising tide lifts all boats
Derek,
on the subject of paying the entrance fees for the pool, look at it this way; at a minimum you helped a local operator of a swimming pool with some revenue since I didn’t see anyone there besides Gel’s party.
In this video Angel did not model the new clothes that she got but it’s okay, I’ll survive. And that brings me ideas for Gel’s channel. Have her get some new outfits from time to time and just show it off on her channel, nothing that is inappropriate but girls love to just talk about and fuss about the clothes that they get. She could have Thousands of 12 year old girl subscribers in no time. Before you know it she’ll have Asian teen age fashion companies sponsoring Gel and paying her to wear their latest lines. Derek, you know that these girls who have make-up channels (a little older than Gel, I get that) are raking in big bucks. A little low in depth to you and I but not to 12 year old girls.
This has been a stunningly great 3 part video series and it seems that you have handled helping and encouraging Gel in starting her own channel extremely well and smart. You’ve also been very generous and big hearted in out reach. I have enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you and I also thank Ai for what has been her part in it.
You done did well 🙂
@WindmillChef that was extensive and constructive input. I really appreciate it. I am working hard to preserve her innocence and not expose her to the western culture too much. She’s only 12 so I’ve encouraged her and her parents to keep from make ups and dying her hair. My comments of her videos, I would say a good 90% of the audience fell in love with her from a sibling, parents and grandparents perspective. Her innocence and intelligence. Also her way of speech. Once we get into makeup and modeling clothes, viewers tend to sexualize the host and that’s not the path I want Gel to go down.
Mountain princess .. hahaha 😂 also I would like to suggest if you’re viewers start now you could do something special for the whole community this coming Christmas. Would be nice to see the village have a community well or something that would benefit the village. Thank you for the wonderful videos sincerely Daniel Adkins
Angel comes from a family that is living pretty good, they make money from their farms, they own cars and they have plenty of food to eat. It’s the poor people in the city who are suffering.
Although I disagree with your observation, I do agree with you that there are worst. Angel’s family does have a business that often have 1 peso margins for the banana chips, 4 pesos per kilo for bananas, etc. Despite the low margins, they create jobs for the young man with clef that you see in the video who would otherwise have no opportunities.
For me… it’s not about what someone has or lack, I stumbled across Angel by accident and learned that her potential is great. So I stop in to assist with a few necessities and mentor her to be independent so she and her family can further contribute to their community. I like to intervene when I meet people with the desire to help themselves
Hey, he should have that wood checked for poison, the United States will not let the Chinese Plywood into the U S. Please Have it checked if you can. THanks Doug
We haven’t decided yet. I will make an update video in the next few days as I am going back home from bohol now and expecting her to visit this weekend
Too complicated in the beginning for her to explain her channel name. Although beautiful, I want to have something easy for her to say and people will recognize right away
Shes such a sweet girl, I have no doubt people are going to absolutely adore her I know I do, I sincerely wish her all the best and even tho it is a bit belated now a very happy birthday. Also the best of luck to her with her channel, I promise to tune in once she gets everything up and running.
https://youtu.be/PeZ-rJqTwkw ,, your kind heart and generosity for this marvelous young lady reminds me of my feelings for the Philippine nation . The country is beautiful the poverty is heartbreaking the people are salt of the earth,, this song is also president Duterte’s favorite song for his country . Bless your kindness 🕊️🙏
Sir Derek, thank to you for helping Gel, (she’s super intelligent) also i like to credit her parents for her upbringing, they doing such a wonderful job, God bless you all…
You based that on 1 video? Did you see the very 1st person I helped was a young filipino male? I just gave a male a scooter and guarantee is tuition and boarding until he graduates? I just helped a Russian National recovering from alcoholism with developing his business in the Philippines? Sad…
Hello Derek, I just discovered your channel today and by chance I was fortunate enough to catch the Gel saga at the beginning when she charmed her way into everyone’s hearts while she guided you to the family garden in the mountains. I saw eexactly what you saw and was instantly charmed as well. Gel is an amazing young girl. Of course I had to immediately bing watch the rest to see how her birthday went and was really sad to see how it all ended with you having to back away from her, although I respect why you dcided to and appreciate the explanation. At least Ai can continue to work with her a bit more and I’m sure you’ll be present in the background on that. I hope when she comes to visit Ai that you and Ai are able to make her understand how good the content can be tell her story there on the mountain. Not from the point of view of “Look how poor life is here and how hard” but rather from the perspective how good and nice the people are in spite of that and how they are able to find ways to make a decent enough life with what they have. There is loads of untapped content potential there as most of what I see on other channels about the Phillipeans is about how cheaply foreigners can live there and how male foreigners can score a young beautiful wife because so many woman there are so desperate to tap into a better life. That content has it’s place and done right isn’t too bad but there is so, so much more that I don’t see anyone really touching. I’m also reaching out to you in comments here (I hope you read your comments) because I was really bothered by the plastic friends and the bullying aspect of Gel’s storey. I would like someone to point out to Gel that the bullies are really projecting their own felings onto Gel when they say those things. The look at her and her best qualities and think “what would hurt my feelings if I were her and someone said mean things to me?” So when they say she’s ugly it really means they think she’s pretty, when they say she’s fat it really means they think she’s slender, when they say she’s stupid they really think she’s smart which should be obvious to Gel because of all the people who are nice to her so they can copy of her and the fact she’s averaging around 94%, that’s a straight A student here in the US. Also when they say she’s poor, her bullies are likely just as poor as her but Gel is rich in ways they would never understand. The way Gel is rich iss in all the ways that she charmed you in that first video, with her respect, her, thoughtfulness, her kindness etc. She’s spiritually rich and that’s a richness nobody can take away from her. It would be so wonderful if you and Ai could help her become a YouTube sensation I too see the potential and imagine the wonderful transformmmation that could make in her family’s life and in her own life for knowing she was able to do that for her family. So please teach her as well as you can. Even though you have to remove yourself from her as far as your own content there will be grat blessings for you and Ai in the future if you can help Gel be what both you and I think she can be. Oh and my idea for Gel’s channel name is either Angelic Perspective or even just Angelic.
I read every word, Mark. I appreciate that you see my vision with such precision. Gel and her family cam by yesterday to make some contents with Ai and I was working effortlessly with her father to get her channel up and all the precautionary steps that I felt mandatory. We are just about 70% done but they had to leave this afternoon. I also have a subscriber who is a web developer who reached out offering to donate his expertise in his rightful field. I have a scheduled call with him in about 48 hrs to go over ideas.
In regards to Gel, I will always be in her life as a mentor. She has a heart of gold and pursue philanthropy at her young age.
In regards to the bullying and stuff… we do guide her but she’s 12 at the end of the day. She will always have things to be self conscious or insecure about. But I feel he have it well monitored and continue to mentor and give her proper guidance.
I love subscribers like yourself to take time out of your day to be so concise… I am grateful 🙏🫶😊
@Q Adventures I’m glad to hear the things you say in your reply, Gel in my opinion is a rare treasure in this world (although I’m sure many other undiscovered similar treasures exist in this world) in that her innocense is unspoiled by the realities more worldly people like ourselves are all too aware of, unfortunately. It gives me comfort to know that you and Ai will continue to be working closely with her well into the future to help protect her and to help her family know how to protect her. After seeing how the relatively mild bullying she experiences at school effects her it sends a cold chill down my spine to think of what the types of things trolls and haters say in comments might do to her. As far as the bullies go, I do realize that being so young and innocent she will always have things to be self concious about, or at least for a long time until she becomes older. I merely try to offer up a tool that helped me when I was young and had to suffer the taunts of bullies. It always bothered me that why would these people say such mean things unless there was something to it. It’s easy to ignore when you’re real friends and family tell you nice things because you expect them to be nce to you. No parent is ever going to tell their child “sorry dear but I hate to break it to you, you are ugly.” So when they tell you you’re not it’s easy to think they’re just saying that because they love you. In my own case it helped a lot to remove the sting from the bullies words when someone explained to me that they were really just picking the words that they felt would hurt them if they were me. That’s all I’ll say on the subject though, now that I know you an Ai will be watching over her a long time to come. I’ll share one last thing with you. I’m 63 and living on disability, as such here in the US life is a struggle on the limited income I get from Social Security Disability Insurance. This led me to start looking into other places to live where my money might go farther and of course that led me to videos about the Philippines. So I’ve been seeing a lot of the typical content coming out about that part of the world and much of it is very disturbing. The poverty, the way women there basically sell themselves to try to get a better life and the foreigners and yes even YouTubers who try to capitalize on all that for either their own personal desires or to promote their channels. Yet I also see there is a lot about the Philippines that is good and beautiful and equally worthy of being brought to the world’s attention. So it is good to know that there are people like you there who see the good things too and try to promote that as well. Alas I will likely never make it to the Phillipines because while I could live more affordably there I doubt I could handle the climate and maintain my health with the health issues I have. Otherwise I might consider coming there and becoming a YouTuber myself to also promote the good things there. I don’t know what your religious beliefs are but I pray God blesses you for the good works you’re attempting to do there. Sorry for the long reply but if you get to know much about me you’ll know such long replies are practically my signature. 😀
Please don’t apologize. Your words are warming to hear. I do what I do because I care and I hope I make a small dent in the goodness of humanity. You take time to share, the least I can do is read and respond
Just discovered you and and Gel and am amazed at how lovable you both are! I have a possible girlfriend in the Davao city area and am hoping to fly there, and meet her soon. I watch at least 15 YouTube videos on the wonders of the Phillipines and the beautiful, friendly people there, every day! I hope to meet you, and Gel someday, you are on my bucket list!
Thanks very much for helping this good family. I wish them all the best in the future and Gel specially, Thanks also for the guidance you are providing including the warnings that they have to be aware of towards the start of her channel, this is good advice for novice or new Vloggers.
I want a Filipina like Ai you are so fortunate Derek, I can’t believe how I spent my entire life putting up with American women, I’ve been disappointed all my life with them they are so selfish and ungrateful its disgusting, I’ve been single for around 30 years after my wife abandoned me with two children and now that they are all grown up its my turn, I’m going to prepare myself for a visit to the Philippines hopefully next year
The sooner, the better. Similarly, I raised my son since he was 3. After his mother and I became cordial again, my son wanted to live with her at age 16. So I jumped over to the Philippines the 1st opportunity exist
Derek, absolutely honor the way you are setting up and mentoring this absolutely adorable Angel and family! Keep up the great paying it forward attitude! Looking forward to helping hit the record o Gels channel!!
Well done for introducing this amazing girl to the world, we’ve all fallen in love with her! And also for bringing a little bit of happiness to her family and the community too. You absolutely did the right thing by quietly backing away and letting Gel do her thing her way, her channel will fly for definite.
What a treat for the children. You are very kind and are to be congratulated for all you are doing for that little Angel! Didn’t see your girlfriends link?
I would love to visit, the Fillipinos are such beautiful, kind and friendly people, and you do a great job of showing this. Thank you for being such a perfect host. You have great content. Keep fighting the good fight.

I’m a bit sad this is her last on your channel sir, I see it so unique that you’re actually guiding her through towards her journey to a bright future..🙏🙏❤❤❤
Yes. But I will continue to help her in the background and others could use similar help to push their personal life to the next level
@Q Adventures I know I’m late but what about angel of the mountain, great videos. Much love from the Caribbean ❤❤❤
She’s pretty.
Angel is such a sweet girl. Thank you for the video

Thank you Jesse
Oh, her name is Angel. “Gel”

Mountain Princess
Angel in the clouds
Oh. I like that… I will forward it to her
Sad to hear about the bullying,hope it doesn’t get worse out of jealousy when she starts her own channel.
No. She has the huge network of support now. All the adults at the dinner with the pig are her teachers and school officials
Kids will be kids.
Mountain Jel….
I did cake and ice cream day for 2 different schools. Up to 6th grade..
To make it catchy for new viewers the name should be different eg. Non innocent Angel or Naughty Angel
Thanks. But I really want to keep the integrity of her image

Oh!!! I’m gonna put a twist on yours if that’s ok. Mountain Angel’s Diary
@Q Adventures Mountain Angel’s Diary is pretty Good😃
I like that one!
Then it’s decided… if it’s not already taken
People like you & I give me hope for the future. May you have many happy days & adventures together.
🙏we already have our next adventure coming. We are just taking a few days to ourselves
You are still exhibiting perverted behaviors and inappropriate thirst for young girls. You are Asian Jeffrey Epstein. Let’s boycott this guy from grooming and exploiting Asian girls (children)
Great video, really appreciate your channel, how about the name (Gem of the Philippines) for Gel’s channel name😎
That’s also excellent. Thank you. I’ll send over to Gel
My submissions for the channel name are ‘Layang Sukla’ (Goddess of Beauty) and ‘Angel of the Visayas’. A very fitting conclusion to this adventure Derek, looking forward to the next stop on your travels.✌
Angel of the Visayas is great and fitting. I’ll send it off to Gel. Salamat kaayo
@Q Adventures Name sounds good, but in my opinion the name should include “Philippines” somewhere. It helps with Youtube’s search engine and will attract 10 times the views. Maybe, Gel’s Philippines or something…
Gellin’ with Gel would be my name suggestion.
She’s a cutie ❤️
A simple life with Jille
Gel. A great place to learn to swim.
😎❤️
What is your girlfriend name and channel
I have a link on the video description to make things easier. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ClKFZNULYfw
6:04 “no more…. what??”
“No more bashing, I’m here”
@Q Adventures aaah
GelGirl
Beautiful country,,and beautiful people ❤️
Too lovely
A suggestion, I found nothing on YouTube. How does Filipina Angel sound.
Sounds great!!! I’ll pass it on to Angel
I don’t see the link to your Girlfriend’s channel.
GROWING WITH GIL ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
“Going Native with Gil” …..🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great Content brother. Keep the 🔥 content coming. Have a prosperous day
❤️🙏🫶
I look forward to subscribing to Gel’s new channel. I wish her much success!
Thank you for another great video and good luck to gel. I’m sure she will make good content with such a great person and family looking after her. 😊
Does your channel cover more of this particular place? I want to see more of it. Sorry, i discovered your channel yesterday so haven’t had the opportunity to check all your videos yet. Got me curious.
That’s ok. Thank you for your support. I put an emphasis on indigenous natural surroundings. Recently, my resources are more solid so I started pursuing philanthropy. I don’t do touristy stuff. If I do, it’s very rare and I have to find it fascinating enough
Are children able to have monetized channels? I would think the channels adsense would have to be setup in an adults name, i could be wrong though.
We have the logistics down. Please follow prompt to support her channel if you are able
Gel, the Mountain Bell. You have a great sense of ethics.
Thank you. Helps me sleep like a baby at night
❤🎉
Thanks!
Thank you Paul. Very generous of you
Love what you are doing. Keep up the great work. I think Jel will be a star. Keep us updated.
Of course
Sorry to hear this.
Please stay tuned to get updates to Gel’s channel and you can continue to follow her story from her perspective
I like the name Mountain Angel the best, I think people will be able to tell the difference between Gel and other channels.
I agree. The other channel only has 53 or so subscribers and doesn’t look active
Thats a nice pool!
Wow, Derek! That pool is amazing. It looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere.
Literally, it was
When my child is old enough to use internet i will put restrictions on how much time he stares at his phone and what he looks at to make sure he does not neglect outdoor and physical actvities along with studies and learning not watching tik tok facebook ig and other nonsense all day. I realize internet is now new to this family and they want to enjoy it but hopefully they will all not be glued to their phone as i see in this video all the time like so many western and richer kids. Also hope they not give out the wifi password to every kid in the baranguy and have them hanging around gels house all the time wasting every ones time and bandwidth better to open internet shop pisonets there and charge nieghbors for the use of their wifi use.
I realize that. The family had made commitments to me so I may keep my commitments to them
Great video Derek & Ai. My suggestion for Gel’s channel is simple: Gel’s Life
Love it. ❤️
Hello Brother Derek!!! Keep up the great content!!!
Angel of the Mountains 🇵🇭
Love it. I think we are leaning towards a derivative of that
Happy extended birthday celebration angel 😇
I’m pleased about your very non-exploitative approach to your subjects, and in fact giving back way more than you gained and setting things up for success to grow after you’re out of the picture. Very unique and forward-thinking.
🙏thank you kindly. I also have the privilege of very supportive subscribers to assist along the way. Thank you
That’s really special that the kids tried to contribute, that is amazing.
I am almost a yr in and still in awe every day
Hey Derek about teach her brother to so they could make or talk about their lives in school and home.
Everyone is involved. The brother, sister, both parents, some friends and even school staff. An LLC will be set up to manage everything in due time
I’m 100% ALL IN! and ahead of ya, been watching both long vids of Gel multiple times all day not skipping ads and will do the same on your girls channel and Gel’s. Gel is going to be a star as long as she sticks with it and stays consistent. Peace! and thanks for bringing us along.
Consistency is key. Thank you 🙏
will be looking forward to her show
Gels view,,,,, a cool name for her show
Absolutely 😎
Gel is very special for sure but the real rockstars are her parents that made her what she is, the province is full of very special humble children and they are all a part of the community of very humble and gracious people, I am so impressed with the Philippines and the province culture and cannot wait to visit
And the Philippines will welcome you. I also agree with the parents kudos
Your being able to step back from a series of videos that practically guarantee a high viewer count speaks highly of you.
While I loved the series on Gel, it was not enough to get me to subscribe.
Your decision to step back and give her a ready made audience gained my subscription
This is also what earned my sub.
Wow!!! You just made me emotional with your validation that I did the right thing. Thank you
Thank you🙏
Voice of an Angel. Catchy, and easy to remember.
Love it. Great points
What is your wife’s channel?
https://m.youtube.com/@PhilippineswithAi
Bye bye Angel Jill! God bless you!
No, no. No bye bye. Pls stay tuned for updates on her own channel. You can support her by watching her channel. Help her become greatness so her family can help their own community, create jobs and such
It’s appropriate to move on… for her and her family… there are too many freaks in the world, to bring too much attention to them..she’s so innocent and naive about the world.. I would never put her location on the web…
Thank you. Necessary precautions are taken
How about Jahl’s Mountain. 😀 Sorry, I don’t know how to spell her name.
No worries . I got you. I will send it to her to decide
Mountain Angel: Gel’s Journey
Just an idea. Hey, you have given me an idea. Working on something to share with you later.
I look forward to it
I follow your adventures and I would like to commend you for all the charities that you are doing within your community. I hope that your stay there will be successful and will give you happiness! I will follow GEL when she’s ready and hope that she’ll be successful also without sacrificing her studies. PLEASE BE A GOOD MENTOR to her and I pray for all things that is good to come your name.
I promise to do my best. Thank you.
How about An-Gel
Love it. Will send to Gel to decide. Thank you
what about “Gels World in the Philippines”
Everything seems to be moving pretty fast, hope she can handle all this new found attention, she’s from very humble and sheltered background. I hope people in the family don’t have too high of financial expectations, YouTube audience is a very finicky one.
Gel will only create content 1 day out of the week as she is a 12 year old student
Everything else will be handled by a team of adults that is already in place
And a good time was had by all. Enjoyed seeing everyone having a great time. Thank you!
Thank you for supporting my channel to make this event possible 🙏
“All good things must come to an end.” But this isn’t the end for Angel, it’s only the beginning. Anyone “hating” on a 12yo girl’s channel needs to seek professional help for THEIR mental illnesses. I wish this little lady all the best in the future, and thank you Q for bringing us this delightful lady.
You said it best. I HAD to choose diplomatic words, but I agree with you.
It will be a sin for me not to help when I know I can
Can we name the channel: an-GEL-lic being- a heavenly mountain paradise.
what’s the difference between your hate and someone elses? you should get that plank removed from your eye
“Jelling with Gel” or “Jell with Gel” would be a really great name for her channel imo.
Beautiful location and pool.
Big pool. Didn’t feel crowded
How about Jill La Pina for a name.
How about Mountain An-Jill
Thank You and Your girlfriend
🙏 thank YOU!!!
A girl on the mountain.
Up on the hills
Awesome 👌
😊👍🙏❤️
God Bless your good hearts forever. Thank you. “Mountain Life with Gel”
Ooo.. that’s a good one. Thank you
angel of the mountain
Nice… love it
Q’s Angel. Davao Angel. Thank you for all you’ve done to enlighten this sweet girl. My favorite artist is Shania Soeganda Yan. She lives entirely on her YouTube and other online videos. Hope Angel can find the same/similar success.
With your participation, I have no doubt she will.
I think it’s great what you did for Gel and getting her started on her journey to doing her own vlogging. You’re a good man.
Thank you. It going to be a long journey but it makes me feel good
✌🏽Mountain Jewel Jel✌🏽
“With an Angel’s Eyes” is one of my suggestion for her YouTube channel.🌹
OMG!!! that is so appropriate and fitting. Her eyes are so mesmerizing with childlike cuteness
Terrible in my opinion its too long…
Q Adventure’s you and your side kick are a good couple and thank you for sharing for the premier of Jel on her birthday and nice of you of helping her start her channel we help a few people like that nd it feel’s so good to know that were able to help people who are eager to start their channel God bless and keep it goin’
Thank you Anhar. Good to have support from your own peers🙏❤️
A star is born, or a little monster? As we know attention for girls/women could be like a drug. I hope she doesn’t change her disposition a few years down the road. She has a lot of learning, it’s good to have a mentor.
We have appointed 12 adults to oversee the process. The team will grow as needed. I will remain a mentor from afar for an unbiased observation
@Q Adventures What makes me choose the Philippines over Thailand to visit is the people. I wish everyone on the team wisdom!
What is ai channel I would like to see her and Jill
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ClKFZNULYfw&t=11s
Nice video .
She’s 12. Kids are cruel. Need to watch any social media she has to make sure her “friends” aren’t making negative comments she may see. It’s tough for adults. I personally wouldn’t designate anyone to get a “cut” of her earnings. Kids there are pretty good about turning over money to their parents. Don’t want her treated like a cash cow if the channel gets bigger. She should have an account that puts money for her future. It needs to be fun for her. I hope for the best but seen a number of kids not handle the attention well. Be careful. I’m not sure that excluding her from your channel is a great idea either. She’ll get exposure on your channel. She could potentially get backlash locally or at school. That kind of gradual exposure is good because she’d get prepped for what it will be like when she has a channel. Once she has a channel that makes money the family is likely not going to want her to stop. Just my opinion. My first trip to the RP was in 1985 and I’ve got lots of family over there. I just don’t want her to get quiet and introverted like some other kids I’ve seen on YouTube.
@candy man I love you man!!! All these are great points and we have covered most of them. However, some of your points I have overlooked. I will do a print screen so I can go over them with Gel and family. I love subs like yourself
@Q Adventures Companies I’ve worked for have done lots with influencers and ad revenue. Doing it right is important. An ability to receive direct donations and packages is a good thing. She brings people into her family life to show day to day activities and people will help. Watchers feel like a member of the family. They will definitely send money for home improvements and things to make life easier. Heck I’ve sent multiple packages, money, etc. I’ve seen guys buy land and build people houses because they saw them on a Youtube channel. I’ve seen inappropriate things sent in packages but opening packages on camera is important. Just need an adult there at all times. Eventually the family is going to have some type of emergency. Having the ability for direct help will be critically important since families over there have to pay medical costs before services are provided.
the movement going strong
Yeah. Growing. We going to Bohol Friday to spread some blessings there
Jelling with Gel
🤘❤️👍
i like that you said protect her from cyber bulling and perverts because goddamn a lot of them on the internet
Yep. You know. You have a channel
@Q Adventures I have this and another one that’s monitize. On this channel I make money from patreon because YouTube didn’t want to monetize this one.
Gel’s Journey
❤️🤘
She already has a subscriber in me😊 just waiting for the name and chance to push the button.😊
🙏👍❤️❤️❤️
she can name it (Just Gelling )
Nice. Easy to remember
Angel of the Mountains 🤩🤩🤩
I hope this is legit and not some R kelly shit
You tune in and find out. Sorry you came from a world that something like that even crosses your mind😔
@Q Adventures yea sorry man….I got molested by a family friend when I was a kid and I have a daughter around her age so I guess you can say I’m emotionally scarred. Especially when theirs a huge economic disparity between the 2 parties.
@cantcornerthedorner wow… I’m sorry about your past and I understand your fatherly instinct. I am also a father, but my boy is going on 18. We are in a different world in the Philippines. Goodness exists here. Just pure, honest goodness. Give me a chance.🙏
I am impressed with your judgement in stepping away from continuing to have her on your channel…good decision. Once she starts her channel she will do her own thing but two channels that I might suggest that she could look at for some inspiration are “beautiful life with joan and aimee” and “peter white”. Many/most of their videos just show daily life without much commentary…if she does some in this style it might provide her some relief from the pressure to have clever commentary in every video.
Great point
“Lifted up by Angel” Not mine… taken from the John Farnham song “Angels”
Philippine AnGEL
Danao AnGEL
“Come chill with Gel” … “Come along with Gel” … “Come Adventure with Gel” ………. maybe one of Gels first series is learning to swim 🤔 …. Great job Q and Ai
This is gold. “Come Chill With Gel is catchy and casual
@Q Adventures glad to help your Lil’ Protegé ….and I’ll Sub & Like every chance I get
Gel angel
Kudos to you Derek for sharing this technology with Gel. This could be a life changing venture for her.
We are hoping so. No just for Gel, but the entire community
Thanks for helping her grow she’s amazingly beautiful ❤
She’s a gem. I will do my best to not let her nor the community down
just have her name it “Just Gel”
Thank you Bigg Gooooogggg!!!
You should really blur out that private info on that white board.
There’s nothing private. It’s just my calendar and payment options for my walk-in customers
Mountian angel Gel
That was exactly what I was leaning towards. I think we will get that set up tonight when I visit to deliver an SD card
@Q Adventures Another person you guys should check out is The Filipina Pea. She has 200000 subscribers. How did you meet Ai? I enjoy her content.
Gel deserves her Privacy, for she is under age, She can share her own Channel and be a happy child growing into adulthood. You can never get this opportunity in Vietnam, Philippines is a democratic Country we have freedom of Speech and 90% Christian as an Asian Country. Our country was base on the U.S.A. influence and since we were colonized by the United States that’s why our English language is Americanize and westernized compared to other Asian Countries! Sometimes I think foreigners take advantage of our people thinking we are too naive because of our open minded, hospitable, friendly easy going nature, but not all Filipinos are like that, We are aware of what the foreigners intentions are, but some have a purpose.🇵🇭
All great points
You have a pretty princess beside you.
Indeed, I do
“The Filipina Angel” ?
Ooohh… I like that. Let me forward it to Gel to decide
Another great video thanks for update
Thank you for the support
Province life with an AnGel, or Spend a day with an AnGel. I think you are doing this correctly Please have AI monitor her channel as she is a very young girl who looks a little older. I think you can make it so post have to be approved before they show or you can put key words in that keep them from posting until approved.
Yes Stan. All that has been mitigated. Ai, both her parents, and some of her school staffs will be involved full time while I continue to mentor her from afar and be fully involved if it’s called for
I was invited by angel but i didn’t come because i am to busy helping my mom bake
Next time
Princess in paradise…
name of her channel I suggest “ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL” because soon she will start to fly in life and her videos will show her progress in every aspect. Her new channel will propel her rise to celebrity status and I hope she will remain sweet, caring and humble despite success. This project will primarily benefit Angel’s family but who knows it might also benefit other families in the mountain village.
That’s beautiful, Bon. I will continue to mentor her through and through. She WILL definitely help her community as she is already sharing her internet service with her schoolmates for free. Her reasoning was my channel supporters blessed her with it and she needs to share the blessing. I teared up
@Q Adventures Wow !
growth of an angel ……………..true angel ……………..story of an angel ………..angels story……………………angel on earth……………..gel the angel………………..angels grow in the mountains ……….gels wings ………..anGEL…………….ANGEL …….ANGELS STORY………………..GEL THE ANGEL ………………..GEL THE GEM ……………….GELS DESIRES …………angel gets her wings …………..gel the humble girl ………….gels smile…….mountainGel……………..
🙏all great!!! Thank you. Will forward to Gel
the day she hits 1k subs i will donate 1k dollars to her channel for her hard work and comittment to her channel
That is very kind of you. Do you wish to stay private or may we show public gratitude?
@Q Adventures public is fine
Possible channel name: Gel’s Journeys
Great job brother u did to show us about her, i eish u and to them the best in life, so proud to have a kind of human being like u, Angel n her family will be protected by PRIME CREATOR, ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, As well your family, u are an amazing person, keep doing it as i told u before, u will be reward from above🙏😇💙
Thank you. Very heart felt. Once Angel reaches success in her channel, I will feel rewarded. Meanwhile, I have other kids and young adults that need a boost also
@Q Adventures ofc we will support her as most as we can, she deserved to live better, GOD be with all of u🙏😇💙
Sana naging channel niya matagumpay Hindi ako nagkaroon ng swerte sa pagpapapanood ng mga tao sa aming video Pagpalain ng Diyos ang iyong pamilya.
I 100% guarantee it
Gel In The Jungle
The old story of give fish eat for a day, teach to fish eat for life, this gift of Independence you give to Gel is worth far more than any amount of money 🙏👍
Thank you. And I will continue to guide and mentor her from afar
@Q Adventures Something I realised many years ago is philanthropy doesn’t have to be done with money (sure it’s easier with money), giving your time to help or teach is a form of philanthropy, I give my time to mentor young it professionals and create open source software that many people benefit from, but if everyone used one of their skills or abilities (just like you are) to help others the world would be a better place without needing a lot of money to get there 👍
Two ideas for Angels channel name….
Angel on the mountain….or
Angel of Danao
Derek,
Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime. 😁
Below is the name for her channel,
I have thought about..; 👍
Chilling with Gel in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Precisely my goal. I am only targeting the younger generation that has motivation to help themselves
Channel comes out hopefully you will put the name of her channel so we will be able to find her. And hopefully help her Channel grow. Videos you did on her just helped my thirteen-year-old daughter grow up and see what’s important thank you
Yes. Of course. I will announce and put a link of the description so it will be easy
Ooohhh… that brought a tear to my eyes know it helped your teen. I also brought my son here for the summer when he was 10 and he went home humbled. The Philippines has that kind of affect on kids
@Q Adventures I’m planning on visiting at the end of the year and bringing my daughter with me considering moving out there. I’m hoping she comes back to the US with a completely different view of life and what’s really important in life
That’s good. I encourage it
i was very impressed with the father who takes part and has fun with the kids i don’t see that to often there
We get along so well as he is a man child like I. He relates to the kids and play in the pool like a kid. Good man
Channel name…. Pure Angel?
I love it
Thru the eyes of gel
I love it 😀
Gel Chanel name Mountain life?
Derek, first of all, thank you for introducing Gel and her family. You two do some amazing work. Some thoughts. The amazing Gel got the way she is without any real outside help or influence. Never is this more illustrated than in the way she was communicating (in her own special way) to you and trying so hard to get everything right and for your approval. Example: she would say something like, ” I can share you here. I can share you the place.” Or: ” It is a little bit of far. Do you want to go there?”
It is these little miscues that make her appear vulnerable and that are so endearing to her viewers. She doesn’t have to be perfect. She needs to be allowed to make these little ‘mistakes’. On this concern, you show a lot of foresight by deciding to step back and letting her progress and grow at her own pace.
When you two start to build the intro to her channel, please take some clips from your first video encounter with Gel. These will help tell her story in the most special way; as you first saw her. And these will be encounters that everyone can re-live each time they sign in.
For instance (and apart from the ones already mentioned), these gems: “Do you want to go to the garden? I’ll show you.”
And when you first step out of the trees–on the way to her garden–she simply says in her own understated way, “Look at the view”. Then this incredible mountain and garden scene–that you captured so well–unfolds before us.
When you ask her why she thinks people from our country go to the Philippines, she once again nails it: ” I think to enjoy and visit the beautiful view”.
These kinds of observations show that she has been insulated and shaped by her own community. Once she starts to produce her own content, I feel certain that she will prove this over and again.
This is what we all recognize has made her such a terrific find and a gift to all of us. She is not at all, worldly, and doesn’t need to trend in that direction. I think we have all seen instances of a precocious child (young entertainer, child actor) being leveraged as a ‘small adult’ . This NEVER works.
So when you start thinking about a name for her channel and the (so important) intro, it could focus on these themes:
“Danao Dreaming, one girls journey”, “Gel’s Philippine garden in the sky”, “Gel’s Mountain…I’ll show you”, These are the kinds of themes that can explain someone like her and keep her grounded.
The perfect ending to the intro could be no better than her invitation to you–you were asking about those mountains–(and to each of her viewers) to come back: “Maybe next time you can explore, there. I know that place.”
All you said is relevant and a gold mine. Where are you? If you are local, may I buy you a meal to get more insight from you? If you are afar, can you send me a message via messenger? I would love to share a conversation as I am not perfect. Only doing my best. But your input include some that I have overlooked and you can help a lot with your input. Check and balance
Hi Derek. Do you have e-mail?
it’s moments like this that make us miss our childhood, I like how the Philippines and South Korea have a high standard when it comes to swimwear
I am so proud that this series touched so many people
Shorts on YouTube and TikTok are amazing drivers for new subscribers. Utilise existing footage. In terms of not uploading the story with Anthony, a rising tide lifts all boats
Thank you. I will do that
Many good names on here….I like …”Pinay Angel”.
As do I. 😊
Touched by an Angel
you might want to check your board behind you it has stuff you wouldnt want to get away from you.
Nothing important on that board. Just my contact info for my clients, ways of payment and inventory schedule. I appreciate you pointing it out though
@Q Adventures O
Channel name for Angel (GEL WITH GEL)
Very impressive and pretty Angel.. You did a greate job in mentoring her..
Can You Share Angel Instagram Account
Derek,
on the subject of paying the entrance fees for the pool, look at it this way; at a minimum you helped a local operator of a swimming pool with some revenue since I didn’t see anyone there besides Gel’s party.
In this video Angel did not model the new clothes that she got but it’s okay, I’ll survive. And that brings me ideas for Gel’s channel. Have her get some new outfits from time to time and just show it off on her channel, nothing that is inappropriate but girls love to just talk about and fuss about the clothes that they get. She could have Thousands of 12 year old girl subscribers in no time. Before you know it she’ll have Asian teen age fashion companies sponsoring Gel and paying her to wear their latest lines. Derek, you know that these girls who have make-up channels (a little older than Gel, I get that) are raking in big bucks. A little low in depth to you and I but not to 12 year old girls.
This has been a stunningly great 3 part video series and it seems that you have handled helping and encouraging Gel in starting her own channel extremely well and smart. You’ve also been very generous and big hearted in out reach. I have enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you and I also thank Ai for what has been her part in it.
You done did well 🙂
@WindmillChef that was extensive and constructive input. I really appreciate it. I am working hard to preserve her innocence and not expose her to the western culture too much. She’s only 12 so I’ve encouraged her and her parents to keep from make ups and dying her hair. My comments of her videos, I would say a good 90% of the audience fell in love with her from a sibling, parents and grandparents perspective. Her innocence and intelligence. Also her way of speech. Once we get into makeup and modeling clothes, viewers tend to sexualize the host and that’s not the path I want Gel to go down.
Mountain princess .. hahaha 😂 also I would like to suggest if you’re viewers start now you could do something special for the whole community this coming Christmas. Would be nice to see the village have a community well or something that would benefit the village. Thank you for the wonderful videos sincerely Daniel Adkins
Great suggestion, Daniel. Let’s see what we can do
What a wonderful idea. Thank you again for the simple things in life many don’t pay attention to .
I’ve gained a lot of wisdom with this small series. She is, indeed, an angel
How about “Banana Gel” for her channel name
How about The Filipina Angel
It’s great!!!😍
The pool at 12.22 is amazing…may I ask where is this location ?
I couldn’t find the name while I was there
@Q Adventuresno worries but what town is it near ? Do you know the province ?
Angel comes from a family that is living pretty good, they make money from their farms, they own cars and they have plenty of food to eat. It’s the poor people in the city who are suffering.
Although I disagree with your observation, I do agree with you that there are worst. Angel’s family does have a business that often have 1 peso margins for the banana chips, 4 pesos per kilo for bananas, etc. Despite the low margins, they create jobs for the young man with clef that you see in the video who would otherwise have no opportunities.
For me… it’s not about what someone has or lack, I stumbled across Angel by accident and learned that her potential is great. So I stop in to assist with a few necessities and mentor her to be independent so she and her family can further contribute to their community. I like to intervene when I meet people with the desire to help themselves
GELS ADVENTURES
Simple, easy to remember and appropriate. Love it
Make her as a vlogger so that she will have income
That’s what we are doing. Please tune in for updates of her channel release mid July
You are a good man, God bless you
Humanity is awesome. I am just contributing a small part
Her Chanel should be “Angel of the mountains”
Excellent. We have decided something along that line. Please stay tuned for updates
How about “Gel’s journey “
Love it. Will pass it on to her
You are such a good man.. God bless you
Humanity is good. I am just trying to earn my place
Name her channel, “Angel’s Wings”
Why didn’t you figure that out, you’re giving her wings with her own channel.
😊🙏🫶 I played a small part in this community effort
See if ” Angel’s Wings” IA available, ask her if she likes it.❤😂🎉😊
Angel’s Heavenly Vlog💛God bless you sir for all you do in helping Gel, Its my first time to comment on your channel.
I really appreciate you showing support by chiming in. It helps my channel a plenty🙏
@Q Adventures God bless you and your’s.
An angel is like a spirit perhaps spirit of the mountains for a name for Gels channel
Love it. Will pass it on for Gel to decide
Hey, he should have that wood checked for poison, the United States will not let the Chinese Plywood into the U S. Please Have it checked if you can. THanks Doug
I’ll pass on that info to Anthony. Good looking out
What is the name of her Channel
We haven’t decided yet. I will make an update video in the next few days as I am going back home from bohol now and expecting her to visit this weekend
You are a good person
I’m doing my best😇🫶
Angles in the mountains
🫶🙏❤️
There is no cuter, polite little girl in all history. Her father and mother are a great example of great, loving parents. God bless them all. 💥
Keep us posted on the name for her channel.
Absolutely. I’m expecting her family to come over this weekend and we will have an update
I guess this is My first time to watch a long vlog. I admire Gel and you. Thank you for helping her, and other pinoy. More power on your chanel
Thank you for your support
Chill with Jill
Excellent. Thank you
AN-GEL-ICA
( Philippina from heaven)
Too complicated in the beginning for her to explain her channel name. Although beautiful, I want to have something easy for her to say and people will recognize right away
Shes such a sweet girl, I have no doubt people are going to absolutely adore her I know I do, I sincerely wish her all the best and even tho it is a bit belated now a very happy birthday. Also the best of luck to her with her channel, I promise to tune in once she gets everything up and running.

https://youtu.be/PeZ-rJqTwkw ,, your kind heart and generosity for this marvelous young lady reminds me of my feelings for the Philippine nation . The country is beautiful the poverty is heartbreaking the people are salt of the earth,, this song is also president Duterte’s favorite song for his country . Bless your kindness 🕊️🙏
She’s adorable, I would love to teach Gel to swim!
@Q Adventures I would love to even just help out with buying Gel a nice new bathing suit
That is so nice to help the young people out
Hoping they can take directions and become independent
Gels channels name ‘a hidden angel’
Whats is I channel name
We’ll be deciding in the next day or 2. Please stay tuned
Sir Derek, thank to you for helping Gel, (she’s super intelligent) also i like to credit her parents for her upbringing, they doing such a wonderful job, God bless you all…
The parents are great. I’m learning a lot from them
You based that on 1 video? Did you see the very 1st person I helped was a young filipino male? I just gave a male a scooter and guarantee is tuition and boarding until he graduates? I just helped a Russian National recovering from alcoholism with developing his business in the Philippines? Sad…
You 2 are angels yourself!!
Thank you Greg. Please support Gel’s upcoming channel to be released mid July. Stay tuned for updates
Passing the baton. Gel will succeed.
It’s coming… 🫶🙏
@Q Adventures once again, you did well. You’re a good guy, bro.
Trynna keep a little of the balance😊. Thank you for the compliment
what is Gels channel? No link !!
We are still working on it. Please be patient and I will update everyone with a proper link. Please stay tuned🫶🙏
Hello Derek, I just discovered your channel today and by chance I was fortunate enough to catch the Gel saga at the beginning when she charmed her way into everyone’s hearts while she guided you to the family garden in the mountains. I saw eexactly what you saw and was instantly charmed as well. Gel is an amazing young girl. Of course I had to immediately bing watch the rest to see how her birthday went and was really sad to see how it all ended with you having to back away from her, although I respect why you dcided to and appreciate the explanation. At least Ai can continue to work with her a bit more and I’m sure you’ll be present in the background on that. I hope when she comes to visit Ai that you and Ai are able to make her understand how good the content can be tell her story there on the mountain. Not from the point of view of “Look how poor life is here and how hard” but rather from the perspective how good and nice the people are in spite of that and how they are able to find ways to make a decent enough life with what they have. There is loads of untapped content potential there as most of what I see on other channels about the Phillipeans is about how cheaply foreigners can live there and how male foreigners can score a young beautiful wife because so many woman there are so desperate to tap into a better life. That content has it’s place and done right isn’t too bad but there is so, so much more that I don’t see anyone really touching. I’m also reaching out to you in comments here (I hope you read your comments) because I was really bothered by the plastic friends and the bullying aspect of Gel’s storey. I would like someone to point out to Gel that the bullies are really projecting their own felings onto Gel when they say those things. The look at her and her best qualities and think “what would hurt my feelings if I were her and someone said mean things to me?” So when they say she’s ugly it really means they think she’s pretty, when they say she’s fat it really means they think she’s slender, when they say she’s stupid they really think she’s smart which should be obvious to Gel because of all the people who are nice to her so they can copy of her and the fact she’s averaging around 94%, that’s a straight A student here in the US. Also when they say she’s poor, her bullies are likely just as poor as her but Gel is rich in ways they would never understand. The way Gel is rich iss in all the ways that she charmed you in that first video, with her respect, her, thoughtfulness, her kindness etc. She’s spiritually rich and that’s a richness nobody can take away from her. It would be so wonderful if you and Ai could help her become a YouTube sensation I too see the potential and imagine the wonderful transformmmation that could make in her family’s life and in her own life for knowing she was able to do that for her family. So please teach her as well as you can. Even though you have to remove yourself from her as far as your own content there will be grat blessings for you and Ai in the future if you can help Gel be what both you and I think she can be. Oh and my idea for Gel’s channel name is either Angelic Perspective or even just Angelic.
I read every word, Mark. I appreciate that you see my vision with such precision. Gel and her family cam by yesterday to make some contents with Ai and I was working effortlessly with her father to get her channel up and all the precautionary steps that I felt mandatory. We are just about 70% done but they had to leave this afternoon. I also have a subscriber who is a web developer who reached out offering to donate his expertise in his rightful field. I have a scheduled call with him in about 48 hrs to go over ideas.
In regards to Gel, I will always be in her life as a mentor. She has a heart of gold and pursue philanthropy at her young age.
In regards to the bullying and stuff… we do guide her but she’s 12 at the end of the day. She will always have things to be self conscious or insecure about. But I feel he have it well monitored and continue to mentor and give her proper guidance.
I love subscribers like yourself to take time out of your day to be so concise… I am grateful 🙏🫶😊
@Q Adventures I’m glad to hear the things you say in your reply, Gel in my opinion is a rare treasure in this world (although I’m sure many other undiscovered similar treasures exist in this world) in that her innocense is unspoiled by the realities more worldly people like ourselves are all too aware of, unfortunately. It gives me comfort to know that you and Ai will continue to be working closely with her well into the future to help protect her and to help her family know how to protect her. After seeing how the relatively mild bullying she experiences at school effects her it sends a cold chill down my spine to think of what the types of things trolls and haters say in comments might do to her. As far as the bullies go, I do realize that being so young and innocent she will always have things to be self concious about, or at least for a long time until she becomes older. I merely try to offer up a tool that helped me when I was young and had to suffer the taunts of bullies. It always bothered me that why would these people say such mean things unless there was something to it. It’s easy to ignore when you’re real friends and family tell you nice things because you expect them to be nce to you. No parent is ever going to tell their child “sorry dear but I hate to break it to you, you are ugly.” So when they tell you you’re not it’s easy to think they’re just saying that because they love you. In my own case it helped a lot to remove the sting from the bullies words when someone explained to me that they were really just picking the words that they felt would hurt them if they were me. That’s all I’ll say on the subject though, now that I know you an Ai will be watching over her a long time to come. I’ll share one last thing with you. I’m 63 and living on disability, as such here in the US life is a struggle on the limited income I get from Social Security Disability Insurance. This led me to start looking into other places to live where my money might go farther and of course that led me to videos about the Philippines. So I’ve been seeing a lot of the typical content coming out about that part of the world and much of it is very disturbing. The poverty, the way women there basically sell themselves to try to get a better life and the foreigners and yes even YouTubers who try to capitalize on all that for either their own personal desires or to promote their channels. Yet I also see there is a lot about the Philippines that is good and beautiful and equally worthy of being brought to the world’s attention. So it is good to know that there are people like you there who see the good things too and try to promote that as well. Alas I will likely never make it to the Phillipines because while I could live more affordably there I doubt I could handle the climate and maintain my health with the health issues I have. Otherwise I might consider coming there and becoming a YouTuber myself to also promote the good things there. I don’t know what your religious beliefs are but I pray God blesses you for the good works you’re attempting to do there. Sorry for the long reply but if you get to know much about me you’ll know such long replies are practically my signature. 😀
Please don’t apologize. Your words are warming to hear. I do what I do because I care and I hope I make a small dent in the goodness of humanity. You take time to share, the least I can do is read and respond
Just discovered you and and Gel and am amazed at how lovable you both are! I have a possible girlfriend in the Davao city area and am hoping to fly there, and meet her soon. I watch at least 15 YouTube videos on the wonders of the Phillipines and the beautiful, friendly people there, every day! I hope to meet you, and Gel someday, you are on my bucket list!

I want a Filipina like Ai you are so fortunate Derek, I can’t believe how I spent my entire life putting up with American women, I’ve been disappointed all my life with them they are so selfish and ungrateful its disgusting, I’ve been single for around 30 years after my wife abandoned me with two children and now that they are all grown up its my turn, I’m going to prepare myself for a visit to the Philippines hopefully next year
The sooner, the better. Similarly, I raised my son since he was 3. After his mother and I became cordial again, my son wanted to live with her at age 16. So I jumped over to the Philippines the 1st opportunity exist
Derek, absolutely honor the way you are setting up and mentoring this absolutely adorable Angel and family! Keep up the great paying it forward attitude! Looking forward to helping hit the record o Gels channel!!
That brings tears…. thank you for taking part
Well done for introducing this amazing girl to the world, we’ve all fallen in love with her! And also for bringing a little bit of happiness to her family and the community too. You absolutely did the right thing by quietly backing away and letting Gel do her thing her way, her channel will fly for definite.
Those words mean the world to me as I am always chasing the right thing.
