In some ways I feel sorry for these children, they are growing up in age where everything is changing so rapidly but already they are being indoctrinated into the belief that a life in the west will bring wealth and happiness when sadly for many the opposite is true. Not only does familiarity of our surroundings breed contempt but so too is the heart treacherous and as you said ‘we all want something we cannot have’. It’s nice that you a trying to re-educate them about the false appeal of a western lifestyle and also the naivety of trusting strangers, something that maybe the parents are guilty of too. I hope to visit the Philippines one day but I’m going to try and learn some Tagalog first before I head out. Big fan of the channel and all you are doing to help these families, best wishes to you all from the UK.
@S everything you said are valid. I am particularly appreciative of comments like yours. I get constructive feedback and not just all positive “yes man” comments. I still have so much room to improve while trying to be respective to the local culture no matter how far from the truth they are as I know it. I must maintain that balance and learn from them before berating them with a bunch of western beliefs that may or may not be applicable to them. I am going back on Saturday to learn more from the family
I can relate to this lovely girl when i was at her age Derek.. I stay in province before and experience a lot of things , living in province is enjoyable than the city, you can do what ever you want…
Yes Eddy. I will go back in a few days to learn more from her parents. I hope to fund her birthday and give her something special. But nothing will happen unless the parents give the ok
Awesome vlog with awesome people. It is great to see there is always one person in front and one person at the back to make sure you are safe and taken care of 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 …
That’s what I thought about USA before that I thought nobody works in America but dang you have to work to stay alive😂😂😂..Excellent advices Sir.. Thank you for your kindness to the Filipino’s..
I first time watch you on donating plywood a family living upstairs . And now this . Yes you are right there are a few bad apples in the world . I am glad you warn her . By the way ; not sure if you know what is going on here in the united states . We are in a silent civil war between left wing and right wing . Trump owns CNN now . My state iowa launches the campaign of all runners in the president races . I have already subscribe to you . I will follow your utube for a while .
not a war between left wing and right wing – but TRUTH AND LIES, Democracy vs. Fascism, creating and destruction, helping those who need help and the wealthy and powerful, cruelty and empathy. But, yea, the right wing agains the left wing nonsense.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful trip to the mountain and the story of the young lady. Also props to you for reminding and teaching them that not every stranger is kind. You never know what’s up with peeps these days.
I did. Even offered them full concealment. I just know this is a long play. Have to show my face in the community more to assure them I am not an undercover po po
@Q Adventuresyep, definitely tread lightly over there on that subject, it will take time for them to trust giving you information. I used to have 3 mills, one of them cnc in my garage years ago. Had 3d files and blueprints for all that stuff since its legal in America to make your own firearms. Good luck finding what youre looking for. 👍
Derek, I don’t know where to start. I’m so glad you went off track and followed Jil on this journey. She’s an incredibly brave and intelligent little girl. I’m so glad you offered to pay for the store item. I was on my way to Danio when I was there to visit the adventure park, but whether didn’t permit. Anywhere in the United States this would have been taboo, but you understand the filipino culture there and with your adventurous spirit help enlighten your audience. I like your format on exploring the filipinos. Please tell Jil who I am and and want to wish her a happy birthday. Yes I’m also from the LA area like you Derek. I’m going to help make her birthday special by donating some money towards her computer. I’ll look for a PayPal link on your page after writing this. I hope to see you at her birthday celebration. Nice work Derek Somari
I just subscribed and enjoyed this video the most of what I’ve seen on your channel. I made a small contribution and hope you have enough to get her a laptop. She is very charming, respectful, and smart and her English is very good. I hope you do more videos like these.
Thank you Ben. Small and in mass is my hopes. I would rather accomplish $1-5 from 100 people than $100 from 1 person because I don’t ever want to inconvene someone
Wow! she’ll love it Sir! I’m so excited to see her on her birthday party with a great and very kind vlogger….Sir Q adventure Filipinos will love and support you!
That’s how I feel. I’m an American who married a Filipina, adopted her son, and love my nieces and nephew to pieces. I also care for a child living in poverty through a charity called Compassion International. You can find lots of Filipino children who need sponsors there. One of the happiest days is when I receive a letter from my sponsor child. 💗
I have every intention to. I received a few donations on her behalf and I like to document it to assure my subscribers that 100% of their donations goes towards the cause
I miss living in our province when I was a kid with lots of coconut tree that we harvest every 3 months. Aside on coconut we also have different types of veggies to eat and survive.
Wow!!! Next time you come through cebu and need a scooter rental, pls give me the opportunity to be your provider. I don’t have deposit requirements and I don’t have milage nor geographical requirements.
@PiKL Media I’m here in davao province… it’s so wonderful to see the respect to elders practiced as a common daily routine. I’m not used to it myself… but the few times, little ones are around me. I’ve been given the honor… and inner joy was overwhelming to say the least since I’m an old man who lives alone…
what you think about us (filipina)teenage girls in a rural areas were innocent but if you tried to molest them,surely you will experience thier brutality.
YouTubers like yourself that take the time to show us the best of the Philippines . I hope your subscribers at least donate $20 to make Gel’s birthday a great one. She has a lot to contribute to her community in the future. I know I’ll be sending my donation.
Because we can sale our house for half a million and leave the states and come to pinoy and buy land for $10,000 usd and build a big custom house for $40,000- usd and live off the money that’s left for life….
Derek another great video, the young girl who was showing you around was doing an incredible job. I really hope that you can help her.get what she needs, as far as the phone, thanks Gordon
Yes Gordon. I will start with giving her a nice birthday party, then internet, then laptop so she can share with her siblings. The phone is not quite a necessity or I don’t see it as an item that would help her with school
I did… gel was just waking up and parents a bit busy. I just updated them of the support we received, have them schedule internet installation for next Wednesday, and decided on how to go about the bday party next week. I’ll be editing the video tomorrow for upload
That young lady has very good english and assuming rural public school learning. She just put L.A. Unified School District into shame. She got a bright future.
All the money in the world, billions of dollars to give to Ukraine and our school systems are among the worst in the first world. Why do we keep voting for the people we vote for???
Derek Thank you for sharing the simple and beautiful family life of these lovely Filipinos. Angel’s English is so beautiful to hear. Do some more videos with her so we can hear her lovely voice and see more or their life. It is so impressive how caring and considerate she is.
@Q Adventures will be looking forward to that video, will be amazing. too bad your buddy won’t be able to attend since he’ll be going back home. Again, what an Amazing girl, super smart, respectful, eloquent and list goes on. she’s an Angel. Peace! P.S. also for her to know and understand “needs” and “wants”, i was amazed! most adults don’t even understand that concept. She’s gonna do well in life.
@Elton Randolph it’s entirely up to you… as you know, computers come in all prices based on processor and memory. Feel free to make a donation within hour comfort and we will work with that
@Oliver Ortiz if it’s ok with you, I will buy it from the states and have my friend bring it to me when he visits early July. Despite carrying the same brand, electronics here are, by far, inferior and super costly. But I will inform her verbally on her birthday proper as her school break will start soon. With other donations and my personal resources, I will also set the family up with an internet plan and teach her to start a Youtube channel herself so she can be self sufficient with my mentorship in the background
More than that. We’ll do a bday dinner on Thursday as time is more restrictive from her school. Then we will have a full bday party at a local resort with a pool with her friends on Saturday
You should keep in touch with this young girl, so you could be a Western big brother, to watch out for her, to make sure she stays safe, as she has her whole life ahead of her, to experience joy. Young girls need a men whose only objective is protecting them & friendship, not romance, void of selfishness
Thank you Sir Derek for building up Angels’ confidence and teaching her that it’s okay to make mistakes in her English speaking skills. She is a shy girl and sweet girl but she was able to manage to talk to you and guide you along the way. Thanks for exploring our place. There are a lot of stories to tell about the province’s life. And by the way, I can still redeem when she told me that it’s her dream to travel to a foreign country to have a greener pasture for her family. ❤
Brave young lady to be willing to practice her English and let you record it. Good for her, and your words of encouragement to her, she will remember for a very long time. Good for you!
What positive encouragement from Grumpy Old Dude… 😊😁
Thank you for the support. I just finished visiting her family and a few more videos of her to come.
Sup Bruno!!! Yes, adopting her crossed my mind real quick, but I didn’t want to be that foreign prick that plants ideas of separating biological families and stuff
Hey Derek just be careful showing the street where the girl and her family live plus they don’t have any neighbors next to them just them. And look at all your comments on this show. 90% of them are men and you never know what they are capable are. Or some them might be in Philippine. You know some of them might be nasty men. You know what I’m talking about.
@Q Adventures Derek see how some of these guys asking for her laptop account so they can send her money. Crazy ah. Don’t give any of these guy asking you for the little girls fb account or her parents fb account. Just tell them to send the money to you. Don’t give them any information about the girl and her family stay.
I have not and I will not. I respond to all my comments and have not noticed a direct contact request. Don’t be concerned, Stevie. I am being very cautious and I went back up there today and spoke with the father. They family read the comments as well and advising Gel along the way
ceci est la vidéo la plus rafraichissante que j ai pu voir depuis longtemps .ces enfants sont merveilleux. Un exemple de gentillesse et de politesse pour notre jeunesse.thank you
There will be a few more videos of Gel to show her progress. I will also teach her how to create a blog with her parents monitoring her safety. I hope you continue to follow the progress and subscribe to HER channel when it’s up. We will teach her how to make her own money, safely, so she can be independent and also help her brother and sister
@Q Adventures i ho to panglao. I havé à german women friend who live here since more years. But very thank i appreciate your help.for me its a big disco very of philippine
A lot of vietnam war movies was filmed in our country ,coppola’s apocalypse now, oliver stone’s platoon, hamburger hill, born on the fourth of july starring tom cruise and many more, they said because its the semilar topography with vietnam, notice how easy it is for the children to walk on the trail wearing only flip-flops.
@Q Adventures what im driving at sir is more serious, maybe the biggest reason why more than 50 thousand US soldiers died in the vietnam war was unfamiliarity with the terrain, the heat, the sorroundings.
I think its president Ramos in late 199? , who ordret gun faktury closed. Maybe still few gun manifactors still in danao. Maybe u can google the storie?
I will. But I prefer to have the locals perspective. More interested in how they got into it and how they are dealing with it after being illegal. The laws and policies can be Google by anyone. I am more fascinated by direct history and culture
Thank you for an awsome video! I would love to visit some little remote Philippino village like this, but I I have no idea where to go, and how to get there. Do you have any recomendations and advice?
These neighborhoods are all over, even in the middle of the big cities like Manila and cebu. It’s just your choice of mountain or ocean. Wherever you land in the Philippines, look at Google maps, pick your mountain or ocean and just go. You will certainly come to a neighborhood like this and stop. It’s much easier on 2 wheels. If you are reliant on transportation provided by someone else, it’s difficult and more likely to be taken advantage of
@Q Adventures Thank you for your answer! I tried before and went to the Philippines but did not se much outside the big cities. I did not know where to go, how to do it and what were safe or not. Unfortanently I do not drive motorcycle, and I would not manage it any better in rural roads in the Philippines.
Wanted to meet the friendliest people I could find when visiting some little rural village.
@daniel Nor if you have WhatsApp or messenger, please message me via my usa number +1-626-626-6347. I feel that I can help you or at least steer you in the right direction. Message me so we can schedule a voice conversation
Damn right! I want to escape the USA & move right there on that very mountain in a shack with these type of beautiful people. I want to marry Gels Mother and I haven’t even seen her yet. You Sir, are very polite and kind to these beautiful children. What a wonderful experience. I simply must GTF outa here (USA/NorCal).
It’s ok for this young lady to dream of coming to the land of many opportunities 🇺🇸 that she doesn’t have there. Just like foreigners going to Philippines for opportunities to find love
“Let her dream”
I agree 100%. There are risks in everything we do in life. Although nothing is guaranteed in life, risks can be mitigated and reduced. Opportunities are in the west and every young mind should be expanded
The beauty of the Philippines unlike it’s neighboring countries, friendlier & able to speak English.
And they have a wide & nice farm but I think they can learn more from the highlands of the Cordilleras in the northern Philippines & see how Igorots cultivate & farm in the mountainous provinces because its amazing how a minority group farms in a mountainous area able to supply a big percentage of vegetables in markets around the country even in big supermarkets & almost every farmer have their own personal delivery trucks. And I think these farm is already enough to support & elevate their economic living condition if they learn more ways/technic in farming & be more profitable.
There are more obstacles than what meets the eyes. 1 small example is that the family doesn’t own that land. Even if they had the capital for such an operation, I wouldn’t think it’s wise to spend capital to operate on a land you don’t have claim to
@Q Adventures I get it but it’s what some folks also do in the Cordilleras, they rent their neighbors property/farm who’s owners are out of town or have a different line of job/business & as I said w/ know how & hardwork of the folks in that region most are doing well unless Gel’s family really have a very high & not reasonable rent on that property probably not wise & worth it but looking at the farm they surely can be more profitable like investing in some plastic coverings for greenhouse like what you see they do in the strawberry fields in La Trinidad, Benguet. Buy some natural fertilizers like dried animal manure, learn to compost-their surroundings have plenty of biodegradables & Plant fast-growing crops/leafy vegetables like pechay, cabbage, wombok etc. that can give them a monthly or every two months income & I don’t even think they have much competition in that area as most there doesn’t know or not into vegetable or flower farming. this is just my humble tip & yes they can look at all this & more if you help them have a Wifi connection, w/ that I admire & appreciate you sir whatever help you extended to the family.👍
Wow!! August just around the corner. If you want to make an immediate contribution, I have 2 links in the description section of the video. Here is the PayPal link, in case
If you want to drop off tangible items, feel free to reach out to me via any methods listed on my channel’s description page.
If you want to visit the family directly… although the community is safe for the family to welcome guests, it is not my place to decide on their behalf. The family does read the comment section and I will leave the decision to them
17:42 Yes, filipinas really seem to be, from the young age, be caring and nurturing and kind. Thats why so many fall in love in the Philippines, because thats not normal in the west.
If she doesnt know what to work, she could study nursery, because this is a job that will always be in demand, not matter if AI or not, and also the people getting older. In my european country a foreign person who wants to work as a nurse here, has a 100% job guarantee if she can master the language.
She also absolutely has the smarts to make it in Cebu, with her english, in the BPO industry – and support her family, without the need of other activities like those in this region. I am sure, because of the big families, every family is involved in the gunmaking someone, if its the uncle, the cousin, or whatever.
You are absolutely correct. I have encouraged the family to read all comments on this video and have arranged for the family to have internet installed coming Thursday so they can read such valuable feedbacks like yours
while in Germany in the 70’s I learned that a kilometer was around 5/8 of a mile. I used an online calculator to give you the right answer though 100 kilometers is 62.137 miles. I just remember it is close to 5/8 of a mile. Just trying to be helpful. Keep up the good videos, I decided to subscribe.
I agree with the others that Jil or Gel which ever it is is an amazing ambassador for the Pilipino people. She is very open and very intelligent. And as you said, she speaks impressive english. I am currently talking with a lady not far from my age 54, me 71, that lives in Gusa CDO. I am currently getting my property ready to sell here in Arizona, and plan to move there. It was originally my plan to retire there years ago, but sometimes things get in the way.
Better late than never George. My guest, John, is also from AZ, Chandler to be precise. He’s doing a 4 month tour here and having a blast. Good luck with the home sale
I see people comment about adopting her and I thought it was joke but they seem to be half serious? Do people adopt kids who have good happy families? 😢
No. I read it as a figurative speech as to how adorable she is. Adoption is very difficult in the Philippines even at the Orphanage so for 1 in a happy biological family, it is next to impossible
She goes above and beyond by sitting at a store to put coins in a wifi vending machine to buy internet by the minutes to watch western programming and emulate the conversations on the programming. I am making sure the family has home internet to stimulate her and her siblings access to education
I get what you mean, but your words can easily be misinterpreted and allow narrow minded people the opportunity to pounce as Gel is a minor. As for adults though, this is typical mountain and/or provide attitude. They are less exposed to tourists and maintain their culture and traditions very well
That is more than generous, Jeff. If you happen to fly into Cebu, please stop by and I will make you a coffee. If you also need accommodation and/or scooter rental, I also provide.
@Q Adventures i unfortunately will not be in cebu but definitely appreciate the offer. I am going to Davao. Can’t wait to explore and hopefully have adventures such as that one. Thank you for creating such great content.
@Q Adventures honestly, when her face lit up when you talked about returning it brought joy to my heart and a smile on my face. I am looking forward to the return video and I hope she has a memorable day!
I went back yesterday, Jeff. I went early and felt bad that she was just waking on my arrival. But I delivered some good news to her family and will be uploading the video later if time permits
Donation sent for this anGEL’s birthday! You simply must film this event! She is just the sweetest young lady ever and I will be looking forward to seeing her reaction. She deserves to have all of her dreams come true! I’ve added a subscription to your channel as I would like to continue learning about these wonderful people. New addition to the bucket list is to visit there someday.
It’s just a few days away. I hope I will not disappoint. I will be uploading update video on Gel in about 2 hours if you would like to tune in to that. Every second you watch of my videos, helps grow my channel and allow me the opportunity to find people like Gel to showcase
i seldom to comment on any vloggers but you get my attention because your such a good and kindly hearted man.God bless to your journey in the philippines.
Thank you for making the effort, Arnold. It means a lot to me. I am here to stay and have a scooter rental business that is set up to give back to the local community
I’ve been planning to visit the Philippines for some time and visit some of the vloggers I follow. If I make it over there, I think I’ll hire her as a tour guide. Communication skills are great and she knows the region and the culture very well. This is the first video from your site that I’ve seen, I liked and subscribed.
Thank you Robert. I am quite new to the youtube platform so my earlier videos, I studder and other stuff that might not be ideal. I beg your pardon in advance. But just FYI, I do provide room rental as well as scooter rentals if you need that in Lapu-Lapu. It’ll contribute to further my philanthropy work here if you take advantage of any of my resources
she said, “are you tired”, he said, “no im not”…then she said, “say if your tired”…then later he said, “i apologize for getting your name wrong”…she said, “thats fine, you can call me anything you want”…so cute, she’s amazing…how can u not like or love this young girl.
@Q Adventures >>> u should ask her if she had to choose between a macbook and a windows laptop…then hopefully u have enough donation to buy either one with solid specs…and also ask the size of the screen that she desire too…lets give her the best birthday party ever…btw, the scene at 26:17, after she crossed the log and turned around…she held her hand out to you and ask u if u needed help as you were about to cross over the log…she sheems to be watching out for your safety throughout the video.
Swerte ng batang ito….daming nag-donate para sa kanya!…deserve nya iyon dahil nakita ng tao lalo na mga foreigner na may inosenteng pangarap ang batang ito….na makarating sa AMERICA!
Truely amazing young lady one of best videos I’ve ever viewed on YouTube can’t wait for her birthday tone captured by your self she deserves her wishes in life that where just dreams but with help will happen I’m certain.
she is amazing and the children are so wonderful full of kindness and gratitude and they stole my heart years ago when I visited the country and I look forward to returning.
The camera man go to Philippine to look for a wife😂😂now he don’t wanna live😂😂, she said she wanna come to U.S, I hope one day she get to come visit, her future look like she can be a model
The ppl in the Philippines prove that poverty is no excuse the type of person you are. In America, ppl make excuses for violence and crime based on their finances. These hard worker would come to America with nothing and almost certainly excel.
These kids remind me a lot of myself when I was their age. I used to walk around the entire city where I lived by myself and go on 5-8 hour adventures anywhere and everywhere. To this day I’m surprised nobody stopped me and call the police. Imagine seeing a six-year-old boy walking around Texas like that, that was me. lol
I lived in Central Pennsylvania when I was a kid and still do, but we were just like you……made our own adventures everyday, all day gone and our parents didn’t have to be concerned for our welfare, they kinda knew that we were ok.
I was driving down the mountain this very day in pitch dark. There were 5 or 5 yr old female children walking by themselves. It’s a different world here in modern days. Safety still exist in this world
You need more viewers to get more donations for the family internet and help building a better life for Jil or Gel family and friends and others poorer families needs and poverty life .
@tiger bear I am doing it out of my own resources anyway despite my YouTube community. Although supporting my channel does allow.me to help more people and expand my philanthropy work, I don’t ask. The option is just there. She will be well equipped to have her own channel and safety briefing by mid July. I hope she can get your subscription
I just found your channel. What a delightful young lady Gel is. Subscribed with all the bells. I live in North Idaho panhandle and contemplating perhaps a trial to the Philippines. Met some Filipinas at the local flea market yesterday and I’m getting all the info about what I need to do to make it happen.
Yes Anthar. Parts are moving in the background. In only a few days since I posted, there is already a community that formed in the background to ensure she will have a bright future
So where is this at im American moving to Manila one way not going back they don’t understand how bad things are becoming in America not as nice as that beautiful view 👀🦋🗾
I am from Los Angeles, CA. My 1 way took place back in July. So I feel your pain. This is up in the mountains of Danao, Cebu province. Infamous for gunmakers.
@Q Adventures as u living there i would like to talk to u for specisl request in order to help a filipine lady that i know she needs a lot of help, let me know how can i contact u, i appreciate a lot in advance..💙😇
She’s a charm indeed!!! Watched the whole video. I can’t wait for June 8 bday celebration, wish i could be of help, she deserves so much more. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Greetings from Montreal canada.. i felt sorry for the guy with cleft palate condition if there’s only a chance we could help him i will be willing also to sponsor some for his operation. I don’t skip adds in support to your vlog.
@Maffeo pls don’t feel sorry for him. He’s always jolly when I see him. He is also living a more content and productive life than most of us in the west (from my observation). I also have a subscriber who informed me of NGO’s and charitable organizations that would do this operation for free. I haven’t spoke to the young man about it and haven’t researched the charities yet so I don’t have anything intelligent to say about it as of now
Just you watching my content is helping a great deal and I am grateful for you not skipping ads😇🙏
Memorable and special to HER standard, yes. I also need to keep a realistic balance to not set unrealistic expectations. I know that’s the most boring answer but I also need to protect her reality. 😊
No. But I will be gifting her an older gopro and I have a subscriber who purchased a laptop and iPhone for her. Just waiting for shipment and I will mentor her to showcase her mountain community and culture. I think it’s a goldmine. But it is also up to her and family to decide whether they want to pursue it and weigh the pros and cons, especially in safety
Q, thanks for replying to my comment, that’s awesome someone donated to assist Jil in improving her education!!!! As I watch this continuing story I want and am going to also assist her both financially and educationally!!!!! I’m disabled now after working various powerplants in my career, this just hit me so much!!!!!! Does the Family or you have a mailing address for sending gifts?
I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your incredible video featuring an authentic situation involving a young, innocent Filipino child. It truly showcases the innate innocence and purity of these children. I was particularly captivated by how the child demonstrated a remarkable understanding of distinguishing between needs and wants, showcasing a level of intelligence beyond her years.
Furthermore, I greatly appreciate the moral lessons you conveyed through this video, emphasising that not all foreigners are necessarily kind. It’s a valuable reminder that teaches us to be discerning and cautious in our interactions. As a result of this impactful content, I’ve decided to subscribe to your channel.
Keep up the fantastic work! I look forward to more thought-provoking videos from you in the future.
She still far away, but a few subscribers and I have thongs in the works. I still want to help her maintain a form of normalcy and stability. It’s probably not good for a young girl to grow dependencies
Such a beautiful and sweet young lady. You’re right she does speak English very well. I think many Filipino’s worry about speaking English a foreigner because they think they’re judging them on how they speak it, but they aren’t. Foreigners know it’s not their 1st language and don’t expect them to be perfect at it. From all the videos I’ve seen, not once has a foreigner corrected any of them on their English, as long as you understand WHAT they are saying, then HOW they say it doesn’t matter. The best way to learn English is to speak it with a natural English speaker and not be embarrassed to make mistakes.
I get a kick out of hearing people on a tropical island saying it’s cold. After being in Alaska for 3 years and North Dakota for 4, and seeing -60F temps, it can’t get cold enough there.
Hahha. 25°c is already considered cold to most filipinos. And about filipinos being embarrassed to speak english. Its mostly because of other filipinos who are more fluent with english and can talk in a spontaneous manner. We have a shaming culture and good pinoy english speakers are grammar nazis.
Edit: and apparently average filipinos tend to think that having fluent english is a sign of high intellegence, which i disagree, so you will be called stupid if you speak english confidently but have a grammar and tenses of a developing toddler.
@Vash Razul It’s sad about grammar nazi’s. Me personally, I care about WHAT someone is saying, if I understand them, then HOW they say it doesn’t matter. If I don’t understand I can ask politely if they can repeat it. There are BILLIONS of people that speak English, it shouldn’t be a mark of societal standing or intelligence, like you said even a toddler can speak English.
I have visited a number of countries and concur with you if this was in the USA or, in fact, an “interview”.
However… this was a spontaneous moment that occurred up in the deep mountain region with a tight niche community infamous for gunmakers with only 1 road in and out. The girl offered a tour of her family farm with the blessing of the family member. There was a decent group of others and I kept my respectful distance even when she extended her hands to me while crossing that log, I declined her hand in help.
I might be off, but countries similar to the Philippines, we don’t have the same problems we do back in the states. And anyone going up there with bad intentions will suffer major consequences within 200 meters. We had 3 separate groups of men approach us within 10 minutes to vet us while standing in front of Gel’s store to have a beer and cigarette. It is the adult auntie that gave us the right of passage before being left along by the men
You’ve just discovered a gem. This girl is so adorable. Very kind and caring but not shy. Definitely raised very well by her parents. I hope she creates her own channel. People are gonna love her.
Most Filipinos are fluent in Tagalog and a local dialect. Most can communicate in English with difficulty ( it feels like having a “nosebleed”). If having difficulty communicating with one person …do it in a group together so they help each other and can come up with the right words or phrases. ❤❤❤❤
When we were growing up, we thought anything made in the US was gold. That young lady is doing well in her English btw and thanks for showing the countrysides.
I seen this video and channel recomended from another youtuber, Angel is a kind amazing girl . When she mentions her dreams of wanting a Iphone to help her with her school prodjects and knowing the needs and wants got me realizing how truly Americans are spoiled . I wish Angel Happy Birthday and thank you for what your planning for whats gonna be a memery that she will never forget. You are a good man
For those people who are not too familiar with Filipino’s and their culture, Gel is a natural and sweet example of their caring ways…this is why so many western men go there to marry their ladies…cheers🍷🇨🇦🇵🇭
Thanks for taking us on this adventure. It’s very beautiful. Jil is a wonderful young girl, I’m very impressed. I hope she had a wonderful birthday. She is so bright I hope they can afford to keep her in school all the way through university. Salamt po Derik
Don’t worry Stan. Things are happening in the background. The only reason why she wouldn’t do university will be her and her family’s choice (and I don’t see that happening)
Are you oppose to collecting a few things and sending a Balikbayan Box? Not weight limit but it does cost about $150 shipping from the states. We need used but good condition clothes and shoes more than candy. Candies are accessible here and shipping might melt certain candies
What a beautiful intelligent young lady. I thank one reason these children are such good kids is the hard work and responsibility they face ‘ it creates character.
Philippine grading system as i remember. She has a 94 average. Shes an A student
74 or lower= F
75-79= B-
80-84= B
85-89= B+
90-94= A
95-99= A+
i dont remember a 100. im sure thats because i averaged around 76😅
Gel is absolutely precious and Derek, you are great around these kids.
Derek this is my first video of yours that I watch and it is fantastic, it should be a hit. It showcased Philippines province life more intimately than any other video I have watched while the long walk showed incredible beauty in nature.
Thank you
Man this vedieo was too damn long Po .& boring sorry to be real about it kuya so ill skip sub for now ill check out your other vedieos to see if this is just a one time deal . 😊 God Bless & Mabuhay always P/s i guess im just use to a more quality vlog like Kumander Daot or becoming Philliphino .
i dont know why anyone would edit the video any shorter…the video content and lenght was great and amazing…i had no issues with the lenght…matter of act, i wanted more…theres so much value going on in this video…sorry u cannot identify.
@MrVikingsfootball09 to each thier own my friend that’s why they make chocolate & vanilla . It wasn’t put together well . If you want to see fascinating informative great vedieos that leave you wanting more . Check out Kumander Daot look thru some of his vedieos especially the gold mines in the mountains . It national geographic good Kuya . You will see what I’m talking about !!! Mabuhay always my friend
ive watched this video several times…watch closely and it seems like she can sense you are falling behind a bit and can hear u breathing…thats why she continues to ask u if your tired? aer u sure u want to go there? be careful…especially with the “are you tired”?
at the 16:35 mark, it looks like u are falling behind a bit and she’s looking at u…she probably could sense that you are tired and can hear u breathing hard…the reason why she asked you “are u tired”
OMG!!! great observation. Being there, I sense the same. The part where she reached out her hand across the log on the river, she sense my balance was off. But I didn’t accept her offer to keep a respectful distance
Lol, you are sounding tired like I would have been if I had been hiking with them, lol. They were right in being concerned about you. Hope there are no snakes in that part of the Philippines.
Laptops are better for the kids for schooling than a desktop because the kids and take the laptops to school or coffee shops for the WiFi, Most filipinos do not have internet at home!!
@Q Adventures That makes sense, A phone for when she needs to look up things at school would be good, But that all depends on the Donations, Great work what you are doing, Filipinos are amazing People!!
They are. And I had 1 subscriber who purchased the iPhone AND the laptop already. My friend in CA has already received it and will bring it to me 1st week of July
Your voice is too loud compared to the voices of other people, is there a way you can even out the sound? Especially with headphones on it’s a bit much.
I’m planning on my first visit to the Philippines soon, seeing if I want to go long term. I’ve been watching several vloggers from both expats and locals, so this video popped into my feed. Such a gorgeous area, and I was sad you didn’t find your original goal, but it turned out even better. Such a smart and sweet for guide. I’ll check out your channel.
Thank you my friend for sharing this moving vlog, it reassures me that in the next 2 years we will be moving to the most wonderful country and share the rest of my life with my wonderful filipino family..the young girl is so cute and kind, not like the children in our own country.. I have found in my many visits to iloilo and the Philippines that no matter where you go, the children have respect for their elders..but seeing Jel on your vlog ,she is an inspiration to every teenager in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thankyou for sharing your experience with us ..regards Tim and Jn from UK 🇬🇧
What these kids did is actually dangerous. Going in a secluded dense grassy area with a total stranger just all by themselves without the supervision of their adult relatives. And this looks like a pedo video.
Coming from USA myself, I agree 100%. This is. Different world. Try coming to this part of the world with bad intentions, no one will get 1 block ahead before all the farmers and neighbors come out with bamboo sticks and machetes
The reason they don’t sell alcohol probably is because it costs too much for them, so it isn’t worth it to them to sell it. It’s what we in the states might call a loss leader.
Brilliant child angel, as a neighbor i am really happy for her and thank you for the support you give to her family. Our house is only a walking distance from there house angel and her siblings go to our house to research and making projects. More powers bro. Her family is very generous also. Hope you continue helping people
Dude I think that Girl is cute but too young for you, Yes Bisaya People are approachable eventhough some haven’t meet foreigners before, you look like Asian but born in U.S.A. it is in our DNA to be polite and hospitable!
*_This is some of the best content on the Philippines I’ve seen to date! I’m so done with the U.S, Brother!_*
*_Lolz!_*
*_This looks like the area I visited when I was over there in 2018. I went to Tandag City in Surigao Del Sur, on the Southern most island, Mindanao. Tandag City is right on the east coast of Mindanao! It faces outward to the open Pacific Ocean! Anyway, when you trek inland just seven to ten minutes, it looks just like this! Beautiful, Tropical, Exotic JUNGLE!_*
*_One of the reasons I’d Love to return there is I’ve always been a Big Martial Arts enthusiast and nerd! They have an art they train over there in the Southern regions of Mindanao known as “Kun Tao”. I’d thoroughly enjoy going back to Mindanao and playing FMA’s one day! That’s short for (F)ilipino (M)artial (A)rts_*
*_~Did I mention how I’m so done with the U.S?_*
*_Lolz!_*
🇵🇭♥️🥋😎
Happy birthday Angel from London, England. I just wanted to say that your English accent sounds much nicer than my English accent.
I have sent a little gift to you via Derek for your birthday.
If intentions are good you are safe in these places ,Just don’t be naïve to think that no adults or their parents are not watching these kids ．Filipinos bond together when done harm.
These two trying to get sum guns, you dont have to make excuses to obtain guns in the philippines, theyre pretty much useless if got one just dont use it coz you dont wanna end up in prison in the Philippines, if you havent been to hell, its the prison in the Philippines.
great video bro, i dig that you moved there, hopefully God’s will i will also be moving there next year..and ill start vlogging. You got my sub brotha.
It would be awesome to get high speed Internet up there…and a few computers… and that will open doors that might otherwise not be aware of.. .. I’m sure that their isolation from everyday news will be an eye opening experience… but they must be aware oh the wickedness that also exists. And that is prevalent
Yes. But from what i see. Her life is already better than most people. Nature+family+no stress = a very contented life for me. Ah just add wifi its very cheap.
It would be illegal for me to do it as I am not a charity organization. Also, gofundme doesn’t work in the PI. someone there has to do it on their behalf and other logistical things that are very sensitive
The whole time she was just so kind and concerned of everyone’s safety; it shows how Filipino children are raised in the Philippines. I wish a major tv network see and show how amazing the kid is.
@Q Adventures With your help. It’s great you’re showing her the way. Her channel will do well. Doesn’t have to be anything flashy just simple village and family life in the Phil’s. Maybe Americans can learn something about family values from a Philippine 👼
100% agreed. I saw a “goldmine” of content up there. And she articulates well. That’s where the idea came from. SHE and her community should benefit from that goldmine I have discovered in the form of so many content and not an “outsider” that is me
@Q Adventures In the birthday video when her dad was hugging her It was a tear jerker and I’m a “tough guy” I think he was just so proud of her. She is a special girl it’s going to be nice to watch her grow up and see what happens in her life. Thanks for helping us to see the world needs more Angels .
And that opportunity is coming mid July as Gel will have her own channel. Please tune in for updates and support her channel and I will be in the background as support and mentorship
Been to Philippines twice. The most awesome people. Makes you realize what you have. My small annual social security income would house and feed a family of 8-10. Jill is a typical Filipino. Sweet, cute, shy, but smart. Love the culture! FAMILY!
i has live in philippines 3 year and 4 time, and i hate phillys, lot lot better and beauty girls live thailand i move to live thailand 10 year before and lot better country live than phillippine. thai have lot better kind,care,sweet,beauty,and smart than philippine girls, and not lie and thief so much than philippines have, all womans lie,scam,thief,hookers. philippines have best beauty at young girl but ower 30y no thanks uglys. thai have better, 50y old woman looking 18 y young beauty all life.
i think the vlogger is the one should apologize to her for iniating a conversation with her without speaking a little bit of her language. he is in her country so speak atleast a little bit of her language.
She has such lovely, gentle eyes, I hope she takes the advice to heart and can learn to avoid the dark side of people before it unfold, she deserves the best🙏
@Q AdventuresSounds great, I’m sure I or we will need it, never having been there before. Closer to time. You will hear from me. Also, I want to contribute something to help her or her family. Like you mentioned. Thanks for reaching out.
Yes. Did you notice Gel and the other girl greeted Grandpa, bowed and put their forehead to his hand? Very respectful, and they must see him every day..
Filipinos are such happy people, always laughing!! Even my ex gf here in the states was always laughing and making jokes and having fun. And she’s soooo cute! She really does have perfect English. I often wonder how they speak so wonderfully.
AnGEL is sweet, kind, soft-spoken, thoughtful, and respectful.
I noticed how she and her sister greeted their Grandpa by putting their forehead to his hand. So nice!
I Love the lilt in her voice when she says “yes.”
American women should take lessons from AnGEL!
One of the reason why filipinos are so kind especially in the provinces, is because they are cultivated by beautiful nature. If you have a beautiful nature, it makes you smile, pure and natural
Apologizing is their culture. They even do it to each other in Tagalog or their provincial language. Teaching them out of it is not recommended. To them, this is almost as if you are shaming them, which is not something you should do. Just a little Filipino advice for you. Yes, very polite kids.
@Q Adventures they are also too polite to tell you when you do. Learn the language and culture and you will fit in and be appreciated. Filipinos are wonderful people who can teach us all about humility.
I wasn’t aware of this law and thank you for pointing that out. In this case, I was on the family’s property and was surrounded by her family including her grandfather that was working on the farm
Sure did!!! And I am on my last video of the series so I can mentor her to begin her own channel to reap the benefits. Anymore I do for my own channel will perhaps cross the line to exploitation
Gel is such a captivating beautiful young lady. I wish our Western young people had the grace to respect others as does beautiful Gel. (Grant, Melbourne Australia)
Hey Derek, what amazing work and contribution. ‘Gel’ is a great find and so happy to see that she’s getting help. Let’s stay in touch – rather I shall stay in touch with you and some time later this year, I may go over to the Philippines to meet you. I really hope to do a little bit to add to your philanthropy whenever possible. You truly are God-sent to Gel and her family, as well as to the Philippines. I live in India and shall connect soon. God speed!
Excellent my friend. India is just a short flight away. I try my very best to accommodate, meet and respond to all my subscribers. Please reach out to me via messenger. Being from India, you can probably valuable input on the young man with clef whom I am determined to help. But I don’t know much about it medically and resourcefully
“not good” but also not neccesarely a false representation tho. To me his talking seems really thoughtful throughout. But perhaps I just don’t have that sensitive ears.
@Bernadette Neudorf Or maybe you don’t have any respect for women, despite having a female name. It isn’t a matter of hearing, just simple respect. If you don’t have that, well…
31:45 Aaaw! I’m melting… —> Watching a Youtube-Video of this length entirely is perhaps the biggest indicator for it’s great quality. Grade 1.0 for Mr. Derek (ref. Philippine Rating System)
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I have to admit I’m hooked. Being from the Jersey Shore in the states I cannot tell you how different and refreshing it was to have an in-depth unscripted natural look at this culture as if I was truly there myself. Great job to everyone in the video and especially to the star herself. When I come across videos like this it truly restores my faith in humanity. For anyone who watches the entire video if you don’t get anything else from it at least take these two valuable lessons. 1 Not all heroes where capes and 2 not all superstars live in Hollywood. Great job and I cannot wait for the next episode.
I was surprised on how this girl talks at her young age she can be able to communicate with foreigners . So adorable girl. She has her own way of learning things and that’s for me was a sign that she would excel and to achieve her goals in life. A little more practice and she wil be good talking in English .
Hi, am from Danao City..gun making is still active in the area both legal and illegal..to witness gunmaking you need somebody as contact person or guide..it is a secretive industry.
If you know anybody as a guide or direct maker, please let me know. I am very interested in meeting one. I just want to understand the traditional way of making them, the culture, the evolution and such. Please reach out to me via whatsapp or messenger
I uploaded the bday video. I hope you are proud. Taking them out for dinner is not practical because the closest restaurant is 45 minutes down a narrow mountain, only the immediate family can enjoy, and 1hr back up hill drive.
wow it puts us to shame in the West when our youth are grafiteeing and looting stores and can barely speak their own language. These people have so little but dont complain. are happy and have wonderful manners
You lived in Los Angeles. (the armpit of the United States) THAT explains why you think the USA is a crowded polluted place to leave. I have news for you. once you leave L.A / Southern Calif, and other big cities. the other 75 % of the country is smog free, traffic free, crowd free with beautiful scenery and peaceful easy living. But you’re like most Southern Californians. So wrapped up in your own bubble that you’re ignorant of those facts.
Angel is just like her name and had Great English and so sweet. The banana chips is a Great idea and my Mom used to make Banana Bread out of ripe ones and my sisters loved Fronen ones covered in chocolate sauce,, my fav is Banana Yogurt
The girl is very beautiful. I would like to have such a daughter. Note to the operator: the video camera constantly focused the operator’s gaze on the girl’s butt, this is not good, it was very noticeable. These children are very trusting and open, you can’t go to the forest or somewhere else with unfamiliar men. Such a journey can end sadly.
I was pointed out to me. I sincerely apologize as it wasn’t my intention. I was hyper focused on the slippery terrain and my breath as you can hear it on the video. Elevation was high and I am a tobacco consumer
The kids family education in the Philippines are amazingly good, in the West is very difficult to find well behaved and educated children like that young lady.
greetings from coastal Goa … you had a wonderful experience led by the adorable young lass, and her friendly lil group. You are blessed to be among their midst and enjoying such a blissful experience. I have a lot of lovely online friends in the Philippines radiating positive vibes. New subscriber here … got to watch Gel’s birthday video.
Thanks to English movies, I also became fluent when kids just keep watching, English school subjects dont work so much its more on noun prounoun, short sentences.
She was a treat here – very good at her tour and obviously proud of their little slice in the PI. Hope she gets the “celebrity” that she’s shooting for one day, good for her!!
The true beauty of the Philippines is the kindness and caring of the Filipino people. Derek, I think you are a good man and I would hope to be the same if I am fortunate enough to one day be able to visit the Philippines
OMG I remember people being like this in the United States. That’s been over 60 years ago. Can you believe the difference how much time has changed. These kids take me back to the old ways of the united states when children were responsible respectful and reasonable. Wow love this vlog. I hope this little girl get everything she hopes for in life..but I don’t think she realizes how lucky she is not to be exposed to the united states.
Amen Brother. I do miss those days. What an effed up world we live in. I could go to the store and buy a pack of smokes or a little bottle of joy juice for the lady next door, no it’s highly illegal. But, if you want to changer their sexes, rock on. God is coming for us.
Believe me, tennis are not the best option to walk over there. A pair of sandals are the best. When walking with my asawa’s lands in Bohol, I fell down many times with my tennis; sandals were the only and the best option.
She will be a part of my life now as I am mentoring her to create her own channel. Would love it if you can subscribe to HER channel coming mid July. Please stay tuned for updates
He apologized for not speaking English well. I stopped him to clarify that I was the guest in his country. So it’s not his obligation to speak english to me and I didn’t want him to constantly apologize. I wanted him to take his time and speak as he was accommodating me and I understood him
@Q Adventures If you want to show her scum, as one vlogger wrote said take her to the center of Manila and she can see the s**thole that America has become. Some dreams are better off left as dreams.
Nice video, but i don’t understand why that girl want a I-phone while there are many other mobiles that are cheaper and sometimes even better. By the way did you know that USA not have any official language, and when you talk about America you talk about the continent and that USA is a part of it. Sorry i am Dutch and we are know to be very direct and sometimes seen as rude. But your contents are very nice. I am part Asian and born in Jakarta but living in the Netherlands.
@Chochi To America means North, Mid and South of America. Call it what you want but they own only the states and nothing around it. and Canada, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and many more are part of America and if i go to Thailand i go to Asia but Thailand is not Asia, its only a part of it. Just like the USA is part of America.
@Gino _58_NL I’m not sure I understood your comment, but it is simple. Somebody one day woke up and gave the USA the name America and people kept repeating it and here we are. Doesn’t mean that it has to make sense to others. Again, when people talk about “America”, they mean the USA, nothing else.
@Chochi To It’s true. I do know when we say Americans, we mean people from USA. This applies to people from USA, who consider themselves Americans. Like a short-form for the people of the United States of America.
Be careful exposing this girl and her loc, there is a lot of pido..s on here. A little girl should not accept gifts from strangers especially foreigners because it can lead a girl to bad things in life.
Thus far, I am the only person going up there. Secondly, it is a very small mountain community notorious for gunmakers and only 1 way in and out 45 minutes up the mountain, thirdly, her youtube channel will be managed by her parents and a team of adults including her school staff. She will only be the content creator. I assure you every possible precautions are taken and I am pleased that I have subscribers like yourself that cares
Omg this was the greatest video I’ve seen in a very long time. This little girl is the sweetest and to see all the other kids seem so curious to the camera too. What a peaceful place. I hope kids like Jill get a opportunity to follow there dreams and fulfill them with there efforts. Thank you soo much for sharing
My pleasure. Things are in motion to help the community kids. Gel will have her own channel mid July with a team of adults, including her parents and some school staff and myself serving as a mentor. Please stay tuned for updates and support Gel’s channel
What happened to the gun makers? That’s the real reason you went bush wasn’t it ? Or was it?
Not sure about illegal gun makers but there’s a lot of foreigners go to the Philippines with devious motives regarding YOUNG girls.
Statistically speaking you guys were bound to show up it was just a matter of time. Not sure what you were expecting but the video contains more than “young girls” for instance, her aunt, her grandfather, her brother who is in high school and many other people. You are exactly the kind of person that will destroy these kids ideas of people in the world.
This tour was one of the most insightful trips I have ever experienced in which young Filipinos share their dreams and hopes with such candour. The mountain gardens of these country people are as close to Eden as most of us will ever journey. Well done vlog.
..truly lovely people and the pleasant natural surroundings, I felt very lucky to find this video. Shame that you can’t walk with your “nikies”, which are outdoor shoes, but they can easily walk and climb with just sandals , it may be mostly practice.
At what point, anywhere in this video, did you see or hear ANYTHING sexual??? The Philippines community and those who has visited and have an understanding of the Philippines saw goodness of this video.
I don’t even know you but I can say with 100% certainty… You are part of the problem. The fact that he even left your stupid comment up shows he’s more of a tolerant person than myself. Being a normal person and a father to five kids I cannot even figure out what you saw in that video to leave such a comment. Please carry on and continue trolling.
Adventures guys, Derek, I would really like to know if you made it to her birthday, and if you were able to video that and share it here on yt, thanks!!!
The Philippines youth absolutely taught the way of family and GOD UNLIKE IN THE STATES, WHERE KIDS ARE DISRESPECTFUL AND, RUDE CARRYING WEAPONS 24/7😢THIS IS WHY I CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO CEBU
I suggest editing the closed captions, instead of bothering with the text overlays. I think most people watch with closed captions, but the auto-generated ones are less than great. The best vloggers all edit their CC, go check.
She’s adorable, such a cute kid. I love how happy everyone is in the Philippines, and so friendly too. I look forward to going back in a few months and love the place.
This young lady speaks better English than my co-workers. I was in Subic Bay about 100 years ago, and all I ever saw of the country was Ologapoo City. Don’t remember how to spell it. I’d almost prefer her NOT to have wi-fi and be exposed to all the garbage on it.
Thanks to English movies, I also became fluent when im young, just keep watching, English school subjects dont work so much its more on noun prounoun, short sentences.
I just found your channel. I’m going to go back to the beginning and see if I can learn a little bit about you. I’ve been married to a Filipina for 51 years
You should not be there. Trying to film people engaged in illegal activity puts them and their families at risk. Don’t come bumbling in like a baby in a forest, from Minnesota no less.
@Q Adventures Good luck with your blog. Lupita is almost done cooking. Thanks for chatting, we will chat again I’m sure. One thing I have noticed. In the videos of the few bloggers I follow, the “poor” people are the most humble happy and giving of all. From the Phils, to Columbia…Thailand and others, that seems to be a common denominator. Poor is truly rich.
@Q Adventures absolutely, I think you finding Gel instead of your original idea was a blessing. Just think, you never know where it can lead. Maybe some day she can cure something. She is a bright soul and her family is amazing. I will follow her as well. You did good. Thank you.
Yeah. Her family just arrived at my home now. Taking them to the mall so Gel can create some content for her channel. Mountain girl in the city… treating them to the cinema for the 1st time
Derek, I came across this video of yours w/Gel, I loved it! Maybe sometime later I can help contribute a little unto your channel. I have a soft spot in my heart for this Country, that I got to enjoy often when in the US Navy in later 60s and early 70s. I already sponsor through Compassion International three Philippine girls all in different locations there, however hope to help you later to continue showing the Philippine children. God Bless You & your channel – Danny
Thank you Danny. Your best contribution is to continue watching my videos and perhaps share my videos with family and friends. I will make a video soon to discuss my full game plan with my philanthropy work here
i’m very happy for discovering your channel today brother .. i love nature and specially seeing kindly people because it defines no barriers in between no matter what nationality and country we came from …❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@Q Adventures I’m watching the videos as we speak. She’s going to be a huge YouTuber she just doesn’t know it yet. As long as she’s willing to work. She’s an awesome kid
edgardofrancisco4075 was SPOT ON , I am repiting his comment: … You’ve just discovered a gem. This girl is so adorable. Very kind and caring but not shy. Definitely raised very well by her parents. I HOPE SHE CREATES HER OWN CHANEL hope she creates her own channel. People are gonna love her.
Your question is pretty vague and difficult to answer. There are big building supplies companies everywhere. Are you inquiring to build for yourself? Where in the Philippines? Etc. You can file your business with SEC but is it going to be an LLC, S Corp, C Corp, etc?
@Q Adventures Yes. I can purchase materials, and hire men. I’m serious. I am a electrician in early retirement due to health issues. Did that answer your question? I’ll do my own research, thank you.
Not sure about paid tours as she is only 12 and have lots of school obligations but definitely having her own channel. Please support her channel with your subscription. @MountainAngelDiaries contents coming soon
HELLO, i SEND BOXES FULL OF TOYS CLOTHES AND SNACKS AND SEND TO THE PHILLPINES ALL YEAR. i DO ALL THIS OUT OF MY POCKET WITH NO HELP AND WOULD LIKE TO SEND BOXES TO THE KIDS AND FAMILY OF GEL. IF YOU HAVE THERE PHYSICAL ADDRES AND NUMBER TO CANTACT THEM OR BETTER YET A FACEBOOK i CAN CORRISPOND WITH THEM. i WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE START A YOUTUBE BLOG.
As much as your offer seems like a nice gesture I don’t think any responsible vlogger would ever share personal details about the people in their videos with outsiders in order to both respect their privacy and for obvious safety concerns. I do think they are working with Gel and her family to setup a YouTube channel and a way to accept monetary and physical donations so stay tuned.
So humbling. Smart ,passionate, polite children. Love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you and Filipino people. Hope to retire in the Philippines in 1 year after 40 years at American Airlines. North Carolina USA 🇺🇸
I love it there. The girl is very smart. I was born in the P.I. My parents took me to Hawaii under 2 years old. I havent yet returned. I will soon one day return and meet all my family there.
most of those counterfeit guns are extremely dangerous and after they’ve been touched up you can tell its fake until it explodes in your hand. They end up in western markets and are made of very poor materials (for guns)
You are so fortunate that Jill is so well -mannered and very accommodating to accommodate your personal needs in vlogging , most esp in looking for a gun maker.
Nice the first part doing laundry..Typical garbage all around..They just toss the small single use laundry packs on the ground..
But the girl giving you the tour is adorable and very smart and polite.
Love this girl, so adorable and her english is pretty good. She making an effort. I like your boy, dedicated Red Horse drinkster. He a gentleman and a scholar 🙂
You can tell that little baby is going far… She’s smart…. she’s pushing helsef to better herself…awesome…..😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Wish my 13 yo would get off that ps5
Awesome video…thank you…..there are still good people left….I loved the way you warned her to be careful….same thing I tell my son everyday….not to trust everyone
Last time I checked,Jels links were NOT working!!! Was going to donate to her channel but links did NOT turn blue and were NOT working! Thought you should know!
Thank you very much. We will look into it as soon we can. Meanwhile… you still can copy the url and paste to new tab to get same result despite not being a direct blue link. It happened to me before I monetize and I suspect YouTube has something to do with it
Such a sweet, intelligent and beautiful young girl. Her english is amazing and her excitement of being with you to practice it was delightful. Imagine understanding the difference between “wants” and “needs” at her age!!
I would love to experience such carefree life experiences. Are there no harmful insects in the jungle or trail paths? Even in the northern Sweden you have to be careful about that
I am sure there are, but I didn’t see anything that is a potential harm. On Gel’s channel, @MountainAngelDiaries, she made a jungle trekking video with her father. The father made a mention of people eating snakes up there so I think the snake population is limited because of that
I just wanna say i super appreciate how you helped the girl get comfortable talking to you. filipino students are pretty much familiar with the english language, as far as reading and writing are concerned. but like you said, what’s missing is the opportunity to use it in an actual conversation. i am totally amazed with the girl’s confidence. everything starts from willingness to muster enough confidence to try, and she did real well. and for sure her experience with you boosted it more. i can feel from just watching this video. how they had so much fun using the language with you. they’d definitely practice more so that next time they’ll gonna be able to do better. here’s a sub to support you.
@sirztv thank you for your support. Gel also has her own channel now and only 20 hrs from monetization. Please also give her some support @MountainAngelDiaries🙏
i just watched a walking tour of isla puting bato i think was the name,so sad to see the people survive there or rather exist,ramshackle houses,living over sewage water,these kids/families got it made.
There’s a video on her channel @mountainangeldiaries of where their parents met. They used to live on top of tombs in a cemetery. What they have now is what they made for themselves, in my humbled observations
everytime i get on the phone for a customer service thru ebay/amazon/walmart i end up getting routed to the phillipines,after i am done i always make it a point to ask if they have a college degree,and most do,and i inform them that with a college degree they can join the u.s.military and earn u.s.citizenship thru their enlisting in the u.s.army;i dont know if it applies to the other branches,but this would help her fulfill her dream of getting to america.
During the pandemic all the kids were doing “modules” on their phones, no phone, no “modules” – or they had to do on paper and many schools couldn’t afford the printing costs.
She also has her own channel featuring her community and mountain lifestyle very fascinating stuff. Please subscribe to her channel as well @MountainAngelDiaries 🙏
Jill is a very beautiful girl, I can’t believe that she is such a busy child, she is really very kind, caring and smart. Derek, thank you for explaining to Jill to be careful with strangers, foreigners, and thank you for explaining the “sorry” thing to the boy. I only saw this movie partially, but I think you are a good man, I assure you that I will watch the movie again from beginning to end. A great man met wonderful children. Greetings to Jil and her family and friends, and greetings to Derek, Józef from Poland.❤
You can see that she is a very smart, pretty and nice person, it is worth helping such people, may life not be spoiled, thank you for your answer and warm greetings
Just amazing. Just wonder if Gel know America rule her country from 1898 till 1948. And set up their government. In only 50 yrs change The Philippines forever.
Her expressions are gentle and not harsh as in most Americans. She’s really a cute kid, and they’re all really nice people. I wish the USA was more like that.
How about doing something really great and contacting one of the many NGOs in the Philippines to get that boy with the cleft palate a free operation? Operation Smile. Operation New Face, to name just two.
What a gem of a child (smart, very kind, caring and maganda of course).
Dereck, you are an oustanding person and a very talented vlogger (topics, style of filming and video quality)
Big up! Maraming salamat po! 🌺☀❤from 🗼
@Q Adventures You are indeed my friend! It was such a pleasure to come accross your channel and video!
Take care always and carry on being such a great person. Merci!
This is the best video of the kids being kids, after the birthdays videos they changed. It’s like you broke the Enterprise’s directive and the innocent’s is gone. You left the Westernized culture because it’s awful but westerners who go there are bringing it to them and eventually the Philippines will lose it’s charm. This video captured something it brought me back to my childhood, the rest not so much because you began teaching how to be you and how to be a content creator. I think you should live with them and let them teach you instead of you teaching them. It’s not to say you can’t make their lives better by helping them build a better place to sleep. cook,etc.. If it were me? I’d help them make ecosystem’s within their natural ecosystem. Meaning tiering ponds, ponds that will filter water and yet is sustainable having fish and maybe prawns in there. Leave the West behind, it would suck for the Philippines to become a California.
I’m from Brazil and I’m an ambassador. I watch a lot of videos from the Philippines, such a rich country with such a poor population.
The greatest wealth is to have had a guide like JIL, may God enlighten her with many blessings, health, peace, prosperity and long life.
I’m sure she’ll be very successful with the vlog she creates.
Ambassador Celso
Wow!!! I have the attention of an ambassador. I am do grateful.
If I may ask for a small favor, Ambassador Celso, please share my video with your network of people. I would love to gain some viewership so I may contribute to humanity in greater scale. I would also love to visit Brazil in 2024
I hope this young girl reads this comment. You live in a paradise, please don’t ever consider moving to any large city in the United States, these cities are the most dangerous cities on earth. The violent crime against law abiding citizens is rampant and out of control. It’s literally a thirdworld murderhole and a miserable place to try to live. Your quality of life in rural Philippines is far far superior.
You are right I nso many ways. But society back home is living in denial and still get angered by my comments specifically for Los Angeles, where I’m from
@Q Adventures we are just 40 miles north of Atlanta, which is bad bad bad! Btw my wife is from Zamboanga City and just recently returned from her yearly trip to PI. I haven’t been in a few years. But I’m dying to get back!
To your perverted eyes, yes, I agree. To the locals, government officials and ambassadors, I get praises that matters. So why does your opinion matter again?
I would like to see this brilliant young girl get the 1st class education that she obviously deserves. She is definitely a credit to the family that raised her.
What a lovely little 😇 angel
If you record the gun makers, and the government sees your video, don’t you think the government would arrest the gun makers, and your video would be the evidence used against them?
You shouldn’t tell them not to apologize. That is the culture. That is in fact the culture in many parts of the world. It is not a bad thing to say you’re sorry…don’t try to change the good things about the cultures of the world. Let them be!
I am from the Pacific Region where I’ve lived and worked for many years until I moved to Europe. Working in Africa, I have noticed a similar respect from certain cultures in many countries there. It is heartwarming.
Courtesy and respect is something we are losing / have lost in the States. 🙏🏼😔
@alexandercox421 understood. From my training and career in sales, old habits are hard ro change and I often don’t even take notice, it’s so second nature
Derek I am totally impressed with you and your sincerity in wanting to help this girl and her family. I never give money to beggars, but will feed them no problem. This is the exception and I will gladly make a donation to help you purchase a computer for her.
John… let me please stop you. She has already received an iPhone and laptop shortly after this video was posted. She has since started her very successful channel from the donations that rolled in. She and her family has since been independent from me
Beauty of the Philippines 
Channels
Dating
Mountain community hmmmm interesting
Tell me what you think after.
Scotty boy needs to go for a little trip around there soon
@prairie dog man I need a scooter so I can get to these places
Can’t wait… 😂
Greetings from Barcelona Spain!
Thank you for the support❤️🙏
Great interview 👏🏿
Yes. I was in danger of wanting to adopt her
@Q Adventures she’s very smart
She is…
👍👍👍
@Q Adventures thanks new subscriber love the province vids
Thank you for the support brother🙏
She’s worried about you being tired, she’s so caring.
We all hear your heavy breathing. Don’t forget to work on your health always.
@Sal thank you Sal. I will join the gym 🏋️♂️
100km is too much 😂
Yeah. For us, the margin is not there. For them, it means the next meal
Just started wacthing
Hit the 👍🏻 likes
Thank you Derek……my pleasure, hope you make it back in 1 piece.
I am least worried in the phils
In some ways I feel sorry for these children, they are growing up in age where everything is changing so rapidly but already they are being indoctrinated into the belief that a life in the west will bring wealth and happiness when sadly for many the opposite is true. Not only does familiarity of our surroundings breed contempt but so too is the heart treacherous and as you said ‘we all want something we cannot have’. It’s nice that you a trying to re-educate them about the false appeal of a western lifestyle and also the naivety of trusting strangers, something that maybe the parents are guilty of too. I hope to visit the Philippines one day but I’m going to try and learn some Tagalog first before I head out. Big fan of the channel and all you are doing to help these families, best wishes to you all from the UK.
@S everything you said are valid. I am particularly appreciative of comments like yours. I get constructive feedback and not just all positive “yes man” comments. I still have so much room to improve while trying to be respective to the local culture no matter how far from the truth they are as I know it. I must maintain that balance and learn from them before berating them with a bunch of western beliefs that may or may not be applicable to them. I am going back on Saturday to learn more from the family
I can relate to this lovely girl when i was at her age Derek.. I stay in province before and experience a lot of things , living in province is enjoyable than the city, you can do what ever you want…
I agree. It’s small town there. Everyone knows all the neighbors and it’s not as many danger as it is in the city
@Q Adventures very true…,,
@Q Adventures how is the city dangerous? What happens if me (foreigner) walks around
I wanna go to her birthday too, I’m go juggle for the kids, I can teach Jill how to juggle, she can be a juggling stars😁😁
Will help you out here Derek 🙂
Thanks Doug. I received it. 100% of it and more will go towards the family
The next Filipina pea
@Tyron Roderick yeah!
I love everything about this video.
Thank you Stan. It means so much to me
One of your BEST video I have seen, one I wished I could have been on. She was a wonderful young lady. And the kids wanted to be a part of it.
What a compliment Eddy. I am particularly proud of this 1
I hope your able to attend her birthday celebration, I will be looking forward to it.
Yes Eddy. I will go back in a few days to learn more from her parents. I hope to fund her birthday and give her something special. But nothing will happen unless the parents give the ok
What a cutie. She’s adorable. I love the people of the provinces.
Yes. I would be her God father in a heartneat
Great video. Wonderful young lady. would love too seem them prosper. Maybe purchasi that land instead of renting it.
That’s logical, but not feasible for them. She IS wonderful, well spoken and a lovely daughter figure
@Q Adventures Just curious. How much does land cost there. Maybe use the land they rent as an example.
Awesome vlog with awesome people. It is great to see there is always one person in front and one person at the back to make sure you are safe and taken care of 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 …
It’s amazing Tommy. 😊
Sweet girl speaks pretty good English tell her happy birthday 🎂 😊
I will. I encouraged her to view this video’s comment section
Awesome experience
Great video
Fantastic video my friend. Real Phils. Thank you.
As real as it gets. I am particularly proud of this 1. Thank you for your support
That’s what I thought about USA before that I thought nobody works in America but dang you have to work to stay alive😂😂😂..Excellent advices Sir.. Thank you for your kindness to the Filipino’s..
I am only contributing to a society I live in. Thank you for being supportive of my channel
I first time watch you on donating plywood a family living upstairs . And now this . Yes you are right there are a few bad apples in the world . I am glad you warn her . By the way ; not sure if you know what is going on here in the united states . We are in a silent civil war between left wing and right wing . Trump owns CNN now . My state iowa launches the campaign of all runners in the president races . I have already subscribe to you . I will follow your utube for a while .
not a war between left wing and right wing – but TRUTH AND LIES, Democracy vs. Fascism, creating and destruction, helping those who need help and the wealthy and powerful, cruelty and empathy. But, yea, the right wing agains the left wing nonsense.
Thank you JW, for your support. And no, I don’t turn on the news, especially politics
cant wate to see the d/day party i hope you get her the iphone 14 or better a samsung s23 or a fold 4
That is very thoughtful
@Q Adventures where in the u,k are you from m8
I’m not from the UK. born in Vietnam to Chinese parents and raised in Los Angeles, CA
@Q Adventures cool well am from glasgow scotlad m8 i hope to be back in mandaue this dec 2023 might be nice to meet up if poss
They always smile. Happy and contented.
They are
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful trip to the mountain and the story of the young lady. Also props to you for reminding and teaching them that not every stranger is kind. You never know what’s up with peeps these days.
Yes. I am also a father after all
It didnt surprise me that no one would give you information about the gun makers but thats a good source for machinists.
Yes Timmy. But I am very committed to chasing this content. I will not give up
@Q Adventures you may want to approach them without the camera when asking about it. 😁👍
I did. Even offered them full concealment. I just know this is a long play. Have to show my face in the community more to assure them I am not an undercover po po
@Q Adventuresyep, definitely tread lightly over there on that subject, it will take time for them to trust giving you information. I used to have 3 mills, one of them cnc in my garage years ago. Had 3d files and blueprints for all that stuff since its legal in America to make your own firearms. Good luck finding what youre looking for. 👍
very beautiful thanks for showing us
thank you for the respect you afforded them and your simple wisdom for that teenager
Yes. Respect is all I have for this community
Derek, I don’t know where to start. I’m so glad you went off track and followed Jil on this journey. She’s an incredibly brave and intelligent little girl. I’m so glad you offered to pay for the store item. I was on my way to Danio when I was there to visit the adventure park, but whether didn’t permit. Anywhere in the United States this would have been taboo, but you understand the filipino culture there and with your adventurous spirit help enlighten your audience. I like your format on exploring the filipinos. Please tell Jil who I am and and want to wish her a happy birthday. Yes I’m also from the LA area like you Derek. I’m going to help make her birthday special by donating some money towards her computer. I’ll look for a PayPal link on your page after writing this. I hope to see you at her birthday celebration. Nice work Derek Somari
Thank you and I confirm receipt. I am so very curious and want to understand but at the same time keep a respectful distance
@Q Adventures thanks for the confirmation because that name didn’t match “Derek “
@East Oakland World Traveler yeah. been in sales all my life. Derek works much better than Hung Quach with clients 😜
I just subscribed and enjoyed this video the most of what I’ve seen on your channel. I made a small contribution and hope you have enough to get her a laptop. She is very charming, respectful, and smart and her English is very good. I hope you do more videos like these.
Thank you Ben. Small and in mass is my hopes. I would rather accomplish $1-5 from 100 people than $100 from 1 person because I don’t ever want to inconvene someone
I can buy both i phone and latop for her if you wish for her birthday
Leaving for work now. Chat later. Serious about sending funds but I want her to get her iphone and laptop.
Yes. That will also work. Very generous of you. Reach out to me via Whatsapp or messenger. Both registered to my usa number. +1-626-626-6347
@tom chew thank you sir for your kindness and generosity. What a wonderful gift that will change her life
Indeed😊
Wow! she’ll love it Sir! I’m so excited to see her on her birthday party with a great and very kind vlogger….Sir Q adventure Filipinos will love and support you!
Are you ever charmed, in a platonic way, by any Filipino men? Like if they were generous , kind, ect?
Way too young for that bro. I was charmed in a father daughter way
Filipino men?
that was truly an adventure! your guides handled you with expert kindness,, unaware of the gifts they had given you…your cup runuth over!
Love you for all the supportive words brah!!!
Did you make it back there?
Not yet. Will do so this Saturday when it’s convenient for the parents. I didn’t want to intrude in their schedule
@Q Adventures sorry Derek , I sent that before the end. Looking forward to seeing the video after the 8th.
No apologies… I just likebto respond to every comment as my following is still small and manageable
She said to you numerous times be careful, I cannot help but admire that caring nature.
Imagine the number of times said off camera… she’s a sweetheart 😊
Filipino children are so damned adorable. I wish I could protect them all.
That’s very kind of you to say
That’s how I feel. I’m an American who married a Filipina, adopted her son, and love my nieces and nephew to pieces. I also care for a child living in poverty through a charity called Compassion International. You can find lots of Filipino children who need sponsors there. One of the happiest days is when I receive a letter from my sponsor child. 💗
@Thomas DeWittthanks Thomas
That is the most adorable, polite and impressive young lady ever…
I agree 100%
@Q Adventures I could listen to her say “Yes” all day, along with her cute facial expressions
@Q Adventures Is the party tomorrow, June 1st, or next Thursday, June 8th?
Almost Filipino Kids of Her Age know How to Respect their Elders even Strangers !
country life
You have to take a video on her birthday
I have every intention to. I received a few donations on her behalf and I like to document it to assure my subscribers that 100% of their donations goes towards the cause
@Q Adventures Where should the donation be sent to?
I have a PayPal link for donations in the description section of the video
Too bad she wasn’t mic’d up. Hard to hear most of her when she’s walking ahead of you
Sorry. It was unplanned and I tried to repeat everything she said to the mic. I also wanted to keep a respectful distance as I am a stranger
I miss living in our province when I was a kid with lots of coconut tree that we harvest every 3 months. Aside on coconut we also have different types of veggies to eat and survive.
Living off the land. Love it
Gel is such a sweetheart. 🙂
Just darling
I go to the Philippines every six months for a month at a time, the people the are amazing, the food is really good,
Wow!!! Next time you come through cebu and need a scooter rental, pls give me the opportunity to be your provider. I don’t have deposit requirements and I don’t have milage nor geographical requirements.
Frame at 28 minutes …response of respect and greetings to grandfather is so amazing … I feel warm inside everytime I see this…
Yes. I still have lots to learn
Beautiful moment.
@PiKL Media I’m here in davao province… it’s so wonderful to see the respect to elders practiced as a common daily routine. I’m not used to it myself… but the few times, little ones are around me. I’ve been given the honor… and inner joy was overwhelming to say the least since I’m an old man who lives alone…
For a hundred bucks, she’ll probably go with you to the nearest (love) motel😊 !
A paedophile just pops out of nowhere😅
They exists
what you think about us (filipina)teenage girls in a rural areas were innocent but if you tried to molest them,surely you will experience thier brutality.
Pervert!
you’re disturbing dude!! wtf
Paradise in the mountains, even falling over is enjoyable!
Got that straight. It was fun and funny at the same time when my fat and old ass fell🤣
Derek you have to adopt this girl
In a heartbeat if the situation calls for it. But I don’t want to be the “outsider” who comes to a foreign country and separate families
If asked to be a God parent, I will accept in a heartbeat
YouTubers like yourself that take the time to show us the best of the Philippines . I hope your subscribers at least donate $20 to make Gel’s birthday a great one. She has a lot to contribute to her community in the future. I know I’ll be sending my donation.
She was raised well. So responsible and intelligent
@Q Adventures is that your correct PayPal address
Those palm trees are just gorgeous
Serene
Because we can sale our house for half a million and leave the states and come to pinoy and buy land for $10,000 usd and build a big custom house for $40,000- usd and live off the money that’s left for life….
Exact logic why such a huge expat community here
Derek another great video, the young girl who was showing you around was doing an incredible job. I really hope that you can help her.get what she needs, as far as the phone, thanks Gordon
Yes Gordon. I will start with giving her a nice birthday party, then internet, then laptop so she can share with her siblings. The phone is not quite a necessity or I don’t see it as an item that would help her with school
Is the party today? If so, I will donate.
@Q Adventures Okay. I will make my donation on Friday.
Thank you for being so thoughtful
@Q Adventures Did you go today? If so, how did it go?
I did… gel was just waking up and parents a bit busy. I just updated them of the support we received, have them schedule internet installation for next Wednesday, and decided on how to go about the bday party next week. I’ll be editing the video tomorrow for upload
@Q Adventures make it Live bro!
That young lady has very good english and assuming rural public school learning. She just put L.A. Unified School District into shame. She got a bright future.
Yes Ron. We have a few supporters on board to stimulate he education a little
She scores in the 90’s! A A
LA Unified is a joke. Baltimore didn’t have a single high school student that could Read at level or do basic Math.
All the money in the world, billions of dollars to give to Ukraine and our school systems are among the worst in the first world. Why do we keep voting for the people we vote for???
Derek Thank you for sharing the simple and beautiful family life of these lovely Filipinos. Angel’s English is so beautiful to hear. Do some more videos with her so we can hear her lovely voice and see more or their life. It is so impressive how caring and considerate she is.
Yes. I will be going back there on Saturday, if weather is permitting
Thanks. Great natural environment tour. Love it. Amazing kids as well.
That girl is Amazing! I hope she has an amazing b-day, she deserves it!🎉 🎂 Happy early bday! Peace!
Thank you for such positive wishes. I will be going back to plan with her parents a nice b-day
@Q Adventures will be looking forward to that video, will be amazing. too bad your buddy won’t be able to attend since he’ll be going back home. Again, what an Amazing girl, super smart, respectful, eloquent and list goes on. she’s an Angel. Peace! P.S. also for her to know and understand “needs” and “wants”, i was amazed! most adults don’t even understand that concept. She’s gonna do well in life.
I’ll donate towards the computer. How much will it cost?
@Elton Randolph it’s entirely up to you… as you know, computers come in all prices based on processor and memory. Feel free to make a donation within hour comfort and we will work with that
She’s the best I wish all the girls are like that in phillipines
a hundred % in a rural and mountainous areas..shy and innocent.
@zaragosa Olga jane unspoiled. 😁
Love it!
How do I donate towards her laptop?
Donation sent!!!
@Oliver Ortiz Receipt confirmed. That was a very generous donation. Thank you very much for your kindness 🙏
@Q Adventures love helping a good student in need
Hopefully you can give it to her on her birthday
@Oliver Ortiz if it’s ok with you, I will buy it from the states and have my friend bring it to me when he visits early July. Despite carrying the same brand, electronics here are, by far, inferior and super costly. But I will inform her verbally on her birthday proper as her school break will start soon. With other donations and my personal resources, I will also set the family up with an internet plan and teach her to start a Youtube channel herself so she can be self sufficient with my mentorship in the background
@Q Adventures sounds good
I’m from Los Angeles too
I live in Azusa
Look forward to seeing more videos ✌🏻
How can i donate for gel and lap top.?
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=22UU6PNDQLGKC&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD
This same link is also listed on the description of the video
@Q Adventures thanks man. When will the birthday party video get posted.?
Her bday is on June 8 so maybe June 9
How are donations made.?
The PayPal link is listed in the description section of the video. Here it is again…
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=22UU6PNDQLGKC&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD
sweet girl and so kind.
Super girl
SHE CAN BE A GOOD TOUR GUIDE AND VERY CARING.
Yes. But I see more than a tour guide in her. Let’s see where it goes
GET HER A BIRTHDAY CAKE
More than that. We’ll do a bday dinner on Thursday as time is more restrictive from her school. Then we will have a full bday party at a local resort with a pool with her friends on Saturday
@Q Adventures I’m sure she’ll enjoy that and make her very happy she’s really a nice person to guide you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO OF JILL ENTERTAINING YOU
She’s the princess daughter I never had the privilege of having
You should keep in touch with this young girl, so you could be a Western big brother, to watch out for her, to make sure she stays safe, as she has her whole life ahead of her, to experience joy. Young girls need a men whose only objective is protecting them & friendship, not romance, void of selfishness
Yes. I will be going back there this morning to meet her parents in hopes of getting a deeper understanding of their situation
@Q Adventures I appreciate you being an honorable gentleman
I’m doing my best, Brian. I am really grateful for supportive subscribers like yourself who gives me the encouragement
@Q Adventures yes I’m a new subscriber thank you for your quality content
The donation is pouring to a little girl 👧 .
Beautiful place and beautiful people!
16:46 LOL! Q (Gel) : “Are you tired?” A : “No, I am not!”
Hahaha!!! Thank you for seeing the humor. She’s so nurturing and my fat butt was trying to keep up
“fat butt” : Wheezing fat butt is what they would think of me. Thanks for the great shots! That was beautiful country.
Donation sent for this young lady to get a laptop
Thank you for your generosity, Ron🙏
Thank you Sir Derek for building up Angels’ confidence and teaching her that it’s okay to make mistakes in her English speaking skills. She is a shy girl and sweet girl but she was able to manage to talk to you and guide you along the way. Thanks for exploring our place. There are a lot of stories to tell about the province’s life. And by the way, I can still redeem when she told me that it’s her dream to travel to a foreign country to have a greener pasture for her family. ❤
She’s a sweetheart
She super smart very nice personality, she gonna have a famous life
Brave young lady to be willing to practice her English and let you record it. Good for her, and your words of encouragement to her, she will remember for a very long time. Good for you!
What positive encouragement from Grumpy Old Dude… 😊😁
Thank you for the support. I just finished visiting her family and a few more videos of her to come.
Great video, bro. “Gel” is such a sweetheart. If I had a daughter, I wish she was just like “Gel”.
BTW, this is Bruno. Greetings from the USA.
Sup Bruno!!! Yes, adopting her crossed my mind real quick, but I didn’t want to be that foreign prick that plants ideas of separating biological families and stuff
@Q Adventures I understand, bro. 👍
Very nice, still would have loved to see the gun people. Good kids though. Thanks!!
Gun people coming. Made lots of progress. Close to negotiating some safety concerns for them
Sari-sari means a variety of, an assortment, a mixture of different things.
Always wondered what it meant. Thank you for enlightening me
Napaka-ganda mo iha, mag-ingat ka hindi lahat ng makakaharap mo o lalapit sayo banyaga man o kapwa pilipino ay malinis ang intensyon.
That’s very nice of you to say. I agree with you❤️
Hey Derek just be careful showing the street where the girl and her family live plus they don’t have any neighbors next to them just them. And look at all your comments on this show. 90% of them are men and you never know what they are capable are. Or some them might be in Philippine. You know some of them might be nasty men. You know what I’m talking about.
Yes I do. Thank you for pointing it out
@Q Adventures Derek see how some of these guys asking for her laptop account so they can send her money. Crazy ah. Don’t give any of these guy asking you for the little girls fb account or her parents fb account. Just tell them to send the money to you. Don’t give them any information about the girl and her family stay.
I have not and I will not. I respond to all my comments and have not noticed a direct contact request. Don’t be concerned, Stevie. I am being very cautious and I went back up there today and spoke with the father. They family read the comments as well and advising Gel along the way
So great you’re teaching her how to MARKET and do PRESENTATION! LOL … LOL … LOL !!! Great humor!
I didn’t realize I did. Not sure if you’re being Sarcastic
@Q Adventures not at all. You’ll helping her how to describe better, how to say it right in English, and have a humorous.
ceci est la vidéo la plus rafraichissante que j ai pu voir depuis longtemps .ces enfants sont merveilleux. Un exemple de gentillesse et de politesse pour notre jeunesse.thank you
Yes. I will also made a video when her iPhone and laptop arrive to show her reaction of the gift
There will be a few more videos of Gel to show her progress. I will also teach her how to create a blog with her parents monitoring her safety. I hope you continue to follow the progress and subscribe to HER channel when it’s up. We will teach her how to make her own money, safely, so she can be independent and also help her brother and sister
If you are flying into Cebu, Jeff, I provide room and scooter rental. If I can help you make your trip better, I will be more than happy to assist
@Q Adventures i ho to panglao. I havé à german women friend who live here since more years. But very thank i appreciate your help.for me its a big disco very of philippine
@Q Adventures i think you are a very good person whit a beautiful soul
Such a wonderful young sweet Girl! And a very nice video!🎉
Thank you 🙏. I really appreciate the encouragement
A lot of vietnam war movies was filmed in our country ,coppola’s apocalypse now, oliver stone’s platoon, hamburger hill, born on the fourth of july starring tom cruise and many more, they said because its the semilar topography with vietnam, notice how easy it is for the children to walk on the trail wearing only flip-flops.
It wasn’t easy for me but I get what you are saying
@Q Adventures what im driving at sir is more serious, maybe the biggest reason why more than 50 thousand US soldiers died in the vietnam war was unfamiliarity with the terrain, the heat, the sorroundings.
You may not know but showing kids like this and asking for donations is against the law in the philippines. Many have done it before. Be careful
Thank you. I just realized, after you pointing it out, that by my typed words can be viewed as “asking”
David Bond should not see this young and beautiful angel with his wholesome harem nonsense 😭😭😭 i hope he doesn’t watch your videos 🤣
Thank you for the support, my friend.
I think its president Ramos in late 199? , who ordret gun faktury closed. Maybe still few gun manifactors still in danao. Maybe u can google the storie?
I will. But I prefer to have the locals perspective. More interested in how they got into it and how they are dealing with it after being illegal. The laws and policies can be Google by anyone. I am more fascinated by direct history and culture
@Q Adventures ok, but then u have to ask and switch off ur camera?
We’ll conceal their face either with blur or hats, bandanas, and sunglasses
@Q Adventures just emagen , more then 10.000 people, suddentlig no more work? President now buy guns abrod.
New sub here
Thank you. Much love
Thank you for an awsome video! I would love to visit some little remote Philippino village like this, but I I have no idea where to go, and how to get there. Do you have any recomendations and advice?
These neighborhoods are all over, even in the middle of the big cities like Manila and cebu. It’s just your choice of mountain or ocean. Wherever you land in the Philippines, look at Google maps, pick your mountain or ocean and just go. You will certainly come to a neighborhood like this and stop. It’s much easier on 2 wheels. If you are reliant on transportation provided by someone else, it’s difficult and more likely to be taken advantage of
@Q Adventures Thank you for your answer! I tried before and went to the Philippines but did not se much outside the big cities. I did not know where to go, how to do it and what were safe or not. Unfortanently I do not drive motorcycle, and I would not manage it any better in rural roads in the Philippines.
Wanted to meet the friendliest people I could find when visiting some little rural village.
@daniel Nor if you have WhatsApp or messenger, please message me via my usa number +1-626-626-6347. I feel that I can help you or at least steer you in the right direction. Message me so we can schedule a voice conversation
That was fun and made me teary eyed, sir
I’m looking forward to the birthday
party now!
🙏just visited the family today. Bday in the works
@Q Adventures Oh that’s great
I’ll add you to my rotation of
expat channels.. salamat!
Damn right! I want to escape the USA & move right there on that very mountain in a shack with these type of beautiful people. I want to marry Gels Mother and I haven’t even seen her yet. You Sir, are very polite and kind to these beautiful children. What a wonderful experience. I simply must GTF outa here (USA/NorCal).
Asap
It’s ok for this young lady to dream of coming to the land of many opportunities 🇺🇸 that she doesn’t have there. Just like foreigners going to Philippines for opportunities to find love
“Let her dream”
I agree 100%. There are risks in everything we do in life. Although nothing is guaranteed in life, risks can be mitigated and reduced. Opportunities are in the west and every young mind should be expanded
The beauty of the Philippines unlike it’s neighboring countries, friendlier & able to speak English.
And they have a wide & nice farm but I think they can learn more from the highlands of the Cordilleras in the northern Philippines & see how Igorots cultivate & farm in the mountainous provinces because its amazing how a minority group farms in a mountainous area able to supply a big percentage of vegetables in markets around the country even in big supermarkets & almost every farmer have their own personal delivery trucks. And I think these farm is already enough to support & elevate their economic living condition if they learn more ways/technic in farming & be more profitable.
There are more obstacles than what meets the eyes. 1 small example is that the family doesn’t own that land. Even if they had the capital for such an operation, I wouldn’t think it’s wise to spend capital to operate on a land you don’t have claim to
@Q Adventures I get it but it’s what some folks also do in the Cordilleras, they rent their neighbors property/farm who’s owners are out of town or have a different line of job/business & as I said w/ know how & hardwork of the folks in that region most are doing well unless Gel’s family really have a very high & not reasonable rent on that property probably not wise & worth it but looking at the farm they surely can be more profitable like investing in some plastic coverings for greenhouse like what you see they do in the strawberry fields in La Trinidad, Benguet. Buy some natural fertilizers like dried animal manure, learn to compost-their surroundings have plenty of biodegradables & Plant fast-growing crops/leafy vegetables like pechay, cabbage, wombok etc. that can give them a monthly or every two months income & I don’t even think they have much competition in that area as most there doesn’t know or not into vegetable or flower farming. this is just my humble tip & yes they can look at all this & more if you help them have a Wifi connection, w/ that I admire & appreciate you sir whatever help you extended to the family.👍
How can we donate to her?. I’m visiting in august and woulda Iike to link up and possibly to visit her family and give some donation.
Wow!! August just around the corner. If you want to make an immediate contribution, I have 2 links in the description section of the video. Here is the PayPal link, in case
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=22UU6PNDQLGKC&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD
If you want to drop off tangible items, feel free to reach out to me via any methods listed on my channel’s description page.
If you want to visit the family directly… although the community is safe for the family to welcome guests, it is not my place to decide on their behalf. The family does read the comment section and I will leave the decision to them
Thank you for your support of my channel
@Q Adventures just donated. Thank you brother.
17:42 Yes, filipinas really seem to be, from the young age, be caring and nurturing and kind. Thats why so many fall in love in the Philippines, because thats not normal in the west.
If she doesnt know what to work, she could study nursery, because this is a job that will always be in demand, not matter if AI or not, and also the people getting older. In my european country a foreign person who wants to work as a nurse here, has a 100% job guarantee if she can master the language.
She also absolutely has the smarts to make it in Cebu, with her english, in the BPO industry – and support her family, without the need of other activities like those in this region. I am sure, because of the big families, every family is involved in the gunmaking someone, if its the uncle, the cousin, or whatever.
You are absolutely correct. I have encouraged the family to read all comments on this video and have arranged for the family to have internet installed coming Thursday so they can read such valuable feedbacks like yours
Gun making if illegal 🙄 should not be sought out even if to interview. Be careful. Good video however.
while in Germany in the 70’s I learned that a kilometer was around 5/8 of a mile. I used an online calculator to give you the right answer though 100 kilometers is 62.137 miles. I just remember it is close to 5/8 of a mile. Just trying to be helpful. Keep up the good videos, I decided to subscribe.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity, George. I hope to continue to make good videos to keep you proud
Very sweet and intelegent girl
100%
I agree with the others that Jil or Gel which ever it is is an amazing ambassador for the Pilipino people. She is very open and very intelligent. And as you said, she speaks impressive english. I am currently talking with a lady not far from my age 54, me 71, that lives in Gusa CDO. I am currently getting my property ready to sell here in Arizona, and plan to move there. It was originally my plan to retire there years ago, but sometimes things get in the way.
Better late than never George. My guest, John, is also from AZ, Chandler to be precise. He’s doing a 4 month tour here and having a blast. Good luck with the home sale
@Q Adventures I am in the northeastern part near a small town, but it is 15 miles of dirt road to town, it is quiet and peacfull out here off grid.
Im confused abouf her age because she looks young but acts mature 😂 hope she does good in school 👍
That’s why she’s so charming
I see people comment about adopting her and I thought it was joke but they seem to be half serious? Do people adopt kids who have good happy families? 😢
No. I read it as a figurative speech as to how adorable she is. Adoption is very difficult in the Philippines even at the Orphanage so for 1 in a happy biological family, it is next to impossible
where is this nice place?
Danao city in the cebu province
She is so adorable ❤.. It’s amazing her english is so good being from the Providence….❤❤❤❤
She goes above and beyond by sitting at a store to put coins in a wifi vending machine to buy internet by the minutes to watch western programming and emulate the conversations on the programming. I am making sure the family has home internet to stimulate her and her siblings access to education
That is the kind of wife I want to find, not so young but them at kind of attitude. Love it!!!!
I get what you mean, but your words can easily be misinterpreted and allow narrow minded people the opportunity to pounce as Gel is a minor. As for adults though, this is typical mountain and/or provide attitude. They are less exposed to tourists and maintain their culture and traditions very well
Ok I am sorry
I was just trying to look out. No worries bro
Dudes wearing a knit hat in the Philippines. WTF?
It’s the Philippines. Dude does what he wants to do. He a 1st timer so cut him some slack😊
That kindness is exactly why I am looking forward to my trip to the Philippines. Hope my small contribution helps her birthday be special.
That is more than generous, Jeff. If you happen to fly into Cebu, please stop by and I will make you a coffee. If you also need accommodation and/or scooter rental, I also provide.
@Q Adventures i unfortunately will not be in cebu but definitely appreciate the offer. I am going to Davao. Can’t wait to explore and hopefully have adventures such as that one. Thank you for creating such great content.
Excellent… Davao is great. Thank you for supporting and watching my channel, Jeff. I am grateful
@Q Adventures honestly, when her face lit up when you talked about returning it brought joy to my heart and a smile on my face. I am looking forward to the return video and I hope she has a memorable day!
I went back yesterday, Jeff. I went early and felt bad that she was just waking on my arrival. But I delivered some good news to her family and will be uploading the video later if time permits
Is there a way to send $ to help gel’s family for her birthday?
Yes. There is a PayPal link in the Description section underneath every video… here it is again
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=22UU6PNDQLGKC&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD
Adorable ❤
Donation sent for this anGEL’s birthday! You simply must film this event! She is just the sweetest young lady ever and I will be looking forward to seeing her reaction. She deserves to have all of her dreams come true! I’ve added a subscription to your channel as I would like to continue learning about these wonderful people. New addition to the bucket list is to visit there someday.
Thank you for the support, Michael
Yes. I will document both her celebration as her bday proper is on a school night
she’s so cute!
Absolutely adorable 😊
Such a lovely girl, and so are the rest of the kids. She looks like my niece 😊 This reminds of of my childhood.
She’s great Joey
She holds the conversation in English like a champ. I’d be good for the first 5 mins and all my vocabulary would ran out 😅
Hope she gets the opportunity to further her education. She has all the potential and ambition to succeed.
Thank you Joey. I’m pretty involved with the family now. We’ll have internet installed for her on Wednesday and I will document other progress
@Q Adventures
I;m so excited for what gonna be happen on her birthday…that is why i subscribed in your channel!
It’s just a few days away. I hope I will not disappoint. I will be uploading update video on Gel in about 2 hours if you would like to tune in to that. Every second you watch of my videos, helps grow my channel and allow me the opportunity to find people like Gel to showcase
i seldom to comment on any vloggers but you get my attention because your such a good and kindly hearted man.God bless to your journey in the philippines.
Thank you for making the effort, Arnold. It means a lot to me. I am here to stay and have a scooter rental business that is set up to give back to the local community
I’ve been planning to visit the Philippines for some time and visit some of the vloggers I follow. If I make it over there, I think I’ll hire her as a tour guide. Communication skills are great and she knows the region and the culture very well. This is the first video from your site that I’ve seen, I liked and subscribed.
Thank you Robert. I am quite new to the youtube platform so my earlier videos, I studder and other stuff that might not be ideal. I beg your pardon in advance. But just FYI, I do provide room rental as well as scooter rentals if you need that in Lapu-Lapu. It’ll contribute to further my philanthropy work here if you take advantage of any of my resources
she said, “are you tired”, he said, “no im not”…then she said, “say if your tired”…then later he said, “i apologize for getting your name wrong”…she said, “thats fine, you can call me anything you want”…so cute, she’s amazing…how can u not like or love this young girl.
After reading your comment, I went back on the vid and dang… I saw it from your perspective
@Q Adventures >>> u should ask her if she had to choose between a macbook and a windows laptop…then hopefully u have enough donation to buy either one with solid specs…and also ask the size of the screen that she desire too…lets give her the best birthday party ever…btw, the scene at 26:17, after she crossed the log and turned around…she held her hand out to you and ask u if u needed help as you were about to cross over the log…she sheems to be watching out for your safety throughout the video.
I’ll try again watching tomorrow but not impressed!
I hope you do a video of the birthday party. 🙂
I wouldn’t cheat my viewers out of that😜
This is how we welcome visitors “The Philippines”
We all have much to learn from the locals
Hello Q Adventures you don’t mind me asking are you Phil-am or other asian like Vietmerasian ah did you find what your looking for Thank’s for sharing
I am an open book. Yes, I was born in Vietnam to Chinese parents. And although I have not found what I am seeking, I am on the right path
@Q Adventures Like they said if your patience it’s not impossible God bless
i hear panting and catching ur breath 😊 nice video
thats why shes always asking him if he’s tired, are u sure u want to go there, are u ok, etc…
Ok… ok… time to quit smoking.
Swerte ng batang ito….daming nag-donate para sa kanya!…deserve nya iyon dahil nakita ng tao lalo na mga foreigner na may inosenteng pangarap ang batang ito….na makarating sa AMERICA!
What a sweetheart 😊 donated 20$ via PayPal. I hope her Birthday is a great one 🤓
You’ll see in a few hrs
Is there a place I can message you privately? Don’t want Gel to see 😉
If I haven’t responded to this… my contacts are listed in my description page
Waiting on the update on her birthday party. She was so exciting while talking about it.. 🎉🎉
Coming… 😊 the video is uploading and the internet service in the Philippines not the fastest
Truely amazing young lady one of best videos I’ve ever viewed on YouTube can’t wait for her birthday tone captured by your self she deserves her wishes in life that where just dreams but with help will happen I’m certain.
It’s coming in less than 24 hrs
she is amazing and the children are so wonderful full of kindness and gratitude and they stole my heart years ago when I visited the country and I look forward to returning.
found the pedo
Bro please film something for her bday. She’s a good girl, I can tell.
For sure!!! We’ll do it twice!!! Check out my most recent update of her. Just uploaded 2 hrs ago
That little girl is an Angel very cool
Properly named right?
The Philippines are raising such kind and compassionate children. That’s a wonderful thing to see.
They are special people for sure. Much like the U. S. used to have a lot more of.
@deon cole better to be safe than sorry 🙌
The camera man go to Philippine to look for a wife😂😂now he don’t wanna live😂😂, she said she wanna come to U.S, I hope one day she get to come visit, her future look like she can be a model
The ppl in the Philippines prove that poverty is no excuse the type of person you are. In America, ppl make excuses for violence and crime based on their finances. These hard worker would come to America with nothing and almost certainly excel.
Within the Pacific Rim, you’ll find such friendly people.
These kids remind me a lot of myself when I was their age. I used to walk around the entire city where I lived by myself and go on 5-8 hour adventures anywhere and everywhere. To this day I’m surprised nobody stopped me and call the police. Imagine seeing a six-year-old boy walking around Texas like that, that was me. lol
I lived in Central Pennsylvania when I was a kid and still do, but we were just like you……made our own adventures everyday, all day gone and our parents didn’t have to be concerned for our welfare, they kinda knew that we were ok.
I was driving down the mountain this very day in pitch dark. There were 5 or 5 yr old female children walking by themselves. It’s a different world here in modern days. Safety still exist in this world
This still exist here
You need more viewers to get more donations for the family internet and help building a better life for Jil or Gel family and friends and others poorer families needs and poverty life .
@tiger bear I am doing it out of my own resources anyway despite my YouTube community. Although supporting my channel does allow.me to help more people and expand my philanthropy work, I don’t ask. The option is just there. She will be well equipped to have her own channel and safety briefing by mid July. I hope she can get your subscription
Maybe her dad or mom sign up for her channels if she is not legal age yet ?
I just found your channel. What a delightful young lady Gel is. Subscribed with all the bells. I live in North Idaho panhandle and contemplating perhaps a trial to the Philippines. Met some Filipinas at the local flea market yesterday and I’m getting all the info about what I need to do to make it happen.
You just need to know your destination and get your flight. No visa requirements for 1st 30 days
This girl that you vlog is a special smart person she will be someday a special smart women more than you ever think guarann tee it
Yes Anthar. Parts are moving in the background. In only a few days since I posted, there is already a community that formed in the background to ensure she will have a bright future
Lucky you didn’t get bitten by a big snake
Amazingly… for all my “off the beaten path” journeys, NEVER encountered an animal. Crazy
So where is this at im American moving to Manila one way not going back they don’t understand how bad things are becoming in America not as nice as that beautiful view 👀🦋🗾
I am from Los Angeles, CA. My 1 way took place back in July. So I feel your pain. This is up in the mountains of Danao, Cebu province. Infamous for gunmakers.
Hi bro, i love this video n that people, those kids are so kind, love it, nice greetings to Gel, she is so besutiful too n have pretty family❤
Absolutely beautiful family. 😊😁
@Q Adventures yes absolutlely i love the things u doing for filipino people, Blessings for u from above🙏🙏😇💙
@Q Adventures as u living there i would like to talk to u for specisl request in order to help a filipine lady that i know she needs a lot of help, let me know how can i contact u, i appreciate a lot in advance..💙😇
I have all my contact info listed on my description page, my friend
She’s a charm indeed!!! Watched the whole video. I can’t wait for June 8 bday celebration, wish i could be of help, she deserves so much more. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Just you watching my channel is a huge help!!! Thank you for your support. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!
@Q Adventures oi oi oi 😅
You shouldn’t correct people’s English unless they ask you.
Thank you for expressing your opinion. It’s valued
Such a nice hike with beautiful tour guides❤️ #countrysideisbeautiful
Greetings from Montreal canada.. i felt sorry for the guy with cleft palate condition if there’s only a chance we could help him i will be willing also to sponsor some for his operation. I don’t skip adds in support to your vlog.
@Maffeo pls don’t feel sorry for him. He’s always jolly when I see him. He is also living a more content and productive life than most of us in the west (from my observation). I also have a subscriber who informed me of NGO’s and charitable organizations that would do this operation for free. I haven’t spoke to the young man about it and haven’t researched the charities yet so I don’t have anything intelligent to say about it as of now
Just you watching my content is helping a great deal and I am grateful for you not skipping ads😇🙏
@Q Adventures good when that happens that would surely be a life changing for him with his great smile, just keep updated.thanks
Contribution to Gel’s BD present. She is adorable.
Super THANKS to you!!!
@Q Adventures bro you should make that birthday memorable and special
Memorable and special to HER standard, yes. I also need to keep a realistic balance to not set unrealistic expectations. I know that’s the most boring answer but I also need to protect her reality. 😊
@Q Adventures thanks for that 👌 God bless
@Q AdventuresIf I donate funds, would it go towards hor iphone and laptop for her and her brother?
What a sweetheart
Derrick, does Jil have a YouTube? I thought that she said something of the sort in your video?
No. But I will be gifting her an older gopro and I have a subscriber who purchased a laptop and iPhone for her. Just waiting for shipment and I will mentor her to showcase her mountain community and culture. I think it’s a goldmine. But it is also up to her and family to decide whether they want to pursue it and weigh the pros and cons, especially in safety
Q, thanks for replying to my comment, that’s awesome someone donated to assist Jil in improving her education!!!! As I watch this continuing story I want and am going to also assist her both financially and educationally!!!!! I’m disabled now after working various powerplants in my career, this just hit me so much!!!!!! Does the Family or you have a mailing address for sending gifts?
What a sweet girl!
The sweetest
😢Very smart beautiful young lady. I know she will make her family proud of her.❤
Yes. I also offered to mentor her. Thank you for your kind encouragement
Dear Q Adventures,
I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your incredible video featuring an authentic situation involving a young, innocent Filipino child. It truly showcases the innate innocence and purity of these children. I was particularly captivated by how the child demonstrated a remarkable understanding of distinguishing between needs and wants, showcasing a level of intelligence beyond her years.
Furthermore, I greatly appreciate the moral lessons you conveyed through this video, emphasising that not all foreigners are necessarily kind. It’s a valuable reminder that teaches us to be discerning and cautious in our interactions. As a result of this impactful content, I’ve decided to subscribe to your channel.
Keep up the fantastic work! I look forward to more thought-provoking videos from you in the future.
Best regards! 💯❤💥👍
You did it!!! You brought tears to my eyes. I was particularly proud of this video and it was spontaneous. But your words…. THANK YOU!!!
@Q Adventures 💖
If I were to choose, I choose iPhone, I’m waiting for iPhones 15 pro max, I have iPhone all my life.
I am now a new Sub wonderful Video that young lady is very smart and her Family I bet are very proud of her .
Extremely…
She (Gel) is a smart young business girl. I hope she’ll go to college & university!
She still far away, but a few subscribers and I have thongs in the works. I still want to help her maintain a form of normalcy and stability. It’s probably not good for a young girl to grow dependencies
@Q Adventures And her siblings may get envious and resentful
These kids dreams of more comfortable life by going to the U.S.A. & other countries, too. Let’s hope they go back home when they make it big.
Illegal gun makers are everywhere, even in Cebu… you just don’t hear about it…
You’re doing God’s work here man… Sent you a few bucks, I hope it helps towards Angel’s education…
I know… but getting them to talk to me on camera is the trick.
By you watching my contents already helps a great deal. But I am grateful for your generosity
Wow. What an extremely beautiful video. She so adorable and smart. Great job Derek!
Thank you!!! She is a star😊
Such a beautiful and sweet young lady. You’re right she does speak English very well. I think many Filipino’s worry about speaking English a foreigner because they think they’re judging them on how they speak it, but they aren’t. Foreigners know it’s not their 1st language and don’t expect them to be perfect at it. From all the videos I’ve seen, not once has a foreigner corrected any of them on their English, as long as you understand WHAT they are saying, then HOW they say it doesn’t matter. The best way to learn English is to speak it with a natural English speaker and not be embarrassed to make mistakes.
I get a kick out of hearing people on a tropical island saying it’s cold. After being in Alaska for 3 years and North Dakota for 4, and seeing -60F temps, it can’t get cold enough there.
Hahha. 25°c is already considered cold to most filipinos. And about filipinos being embarrassed to speak english. Its mostly because of other filipinos who are more fluent with english and can talk in a spontaneous manner. We have a shaming culture and good pinoy english speakers are grammar nazis.
Edit: and apparently average filipinos tend to think that having fluent english is a sign of high intellegence, which i disagree, so you will be called stupid if you speak english confidently but have a grammar and tenses of a developing toddler.
@Vash Razul It’s sad about grammar nazi’s. Me personally, I care about WHAT someone is saying, if I understand them, then HOW they say it doesn’t matter. If I don’t understand I can ask politely if they can repeat it. There are BILLIONS of people that speak English, it shouldn’t be a mark of societal standing or intelligence, like you said even a toddler can speak English.
somethings off with interviewing a child, i guess the adults English wasn’t ( I Just wanna to listen to you?) i couldn’t watch it all
I have visited a number of countries and concur with you if this was in the USA or, in fact, an “interview”.
However… this was a spontaneous moment that occurred up in the deep mountain region with a tight niche community infamous for gunmakers with only 1 road in and out. The girl offered a tour of her family farm with the blessing of the family member. There was a decent group of others and I kept my respectful distance even when she extended her hands to me while crossing that log, I declined her hand in help.
I might be off, but countries similar to the Philippines, we don’t have the same problems we do back in the states. And anyone going up there with bad intentions will suffer major consequences within 200 meters. We had 3 separate groups of men approach us within 10 minutes to vet us while standing in front of Gel’s store to have a beer and cigarette. It is the adult auntie that gave us the right of passage before being left along by the men
You’ve just discovered a gem. This girl is so adorable. Very kind and caring but not shy. Definitely raised very well by her parents. I hope she creates her own channel. People are gonna love her.
Well said. No one is self-made , and it starts as a child. GEL is a role model for others. Love this❤
So king and sweet! That’s the type of person that makes people want to have kids.
If she was 10 to 15 years older.Wow!
If I was the father I’d tell these perverted guys get lost or get buried
Most Filipinos are fluent in Tagalog and a local dialect. Most can communicate in English with difficulty ( it feels like having a “nosebleed”). If having difficulty communicating with one person …do it in a group together so they help each other and can come up with the right words or phrases. ❤❤❤❤
When we were growing up, we thought anything made in the US was gold. That young lady is doing well in her English btw and thanks for showing the countrysides.
My pleasure 🙏😇
That is before import liberalisation law
Charming little girl. Here in the USA we take so much for granted. Thank you for sharing this video.
It was my privilege to have the opportunity. Thank you for the supportive words and encouragement
I seen this video and channel recomended from another youtuber, Angel is a kind amazing girl . When she mentions her dreams of wanting a Iphone to help her with her school prodjects and knowing the needs and wants got me realizing how truly Americans are spoiled . I wish Angel Happy Birthday and thank you for what your planning for whats gonna be a memery that she will never forget. You are a good man
Thank you for the support, David. May I ask who the vlogger that recommended?
For those people who are not too familiar with Filipino’s and their culture, Gel is a natural and sweet example of their caring ways…this is why so many western men go there to marry their ladies…cheers🍷🇨🇦🇵🇭
She’s a beautiful human being with lots of potential ❤️
Thanks for taking us on this adventure. It’s very beautiful. Jil is a wonderful young girl, I’m very impressed. I hope she had a wonderful birthday. She is so bright I hope they can afford to keep her in school all the way through university. Salamt po Derik
Don’t worry Stan. Things are happening in the background. The only reason why she wouldn’t do university will be her and her family’s choice (and I don’t see that happening)
My dad is from there nice family how can I send some candy and clothes for them
Are you oppose to collecting a few things and sending a Balikbayan Box? Not weight limit but it does cost about $150 shipping from the states. We need used but good condition clothes and shoes more than candy. Candies are accessible here and shipping might melt certain candies
Look after the innocent kids ,
The least I can do
Shouldn’t be drinking alcohol around the kids , im surprised that you didn’t ask your mate not to drink😡
Some families in Europe drink wine with every meal.
His friend had one beer. Lighten up.
Thank you for chiming in. 11 yr old with a clever to a pig and this man worry about 1 drink??? It’s a different world…
Your lil guide is adorable. Above average English too..
BTW, where exactly is that location? I’ve no idea??🤔
She’s amazing. The location is up in the labyrinth of Danao mountains in cebu province
Bit curious how old this young lady is,, her age might surprise you
She’s turning 12
What a beautiful intelligent young lady. I thank one reason these children are such good kids is the hard work and responsibility they face ‘ it creates character.
Absolutely. For the short time I spent with the parents, my impression was that she and her siblings had good leadership
When she said shes top student in her class, was anyone really surprised?
I sure wasn’t. She carries herself well
Philippine grading system as i remember. She has a 94 average. Shes an A student
74 or lower= F
75-79= B-
80-84= B
85-89= B+
90-94= A
95-99= A+
i dont remember a 100. im sure thats because i averaged around 76😅
You’re too funny to throw that in at the end. I love it😊❤️
You do good work brother
Gel is absolutely precious and Derek, you are great around these kids.
Derek this is my first video of yours that I watch and it is fantastic, it should be a hit. It showcased Philippines province life more intimately than any other video I have watched while the long walk showed incredible beauty in nature.
Thank you
I have to credit Gel in this. She’s the gem and needs to be recognized
GEL US is a mess why you leave the paradise 😂
She’s too young to grasp. Grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Man this vedieo was too damn long Po .& boring sorry to be real about it kuya so ill skip sub for now ill check out your other vedieos to see if this is just a one time deal . 😊 God Bless & Mabuhay always P/s i guess im just use to a more quality vlog like Kumander Daot or becoming Philliphino .
i dont know why anyone would edit the video any shorter…the video content and lenght was great and amazing…i had no issues with the lenght…matter of act, i wanted more…theres so much value going on in this video…sorry u cannot identify.
@MrVikingsfootball09 to each thier own my friend that’s why they make chocolate & vanilla . It wasn’t put together well . If you want to see fascinating informative great vedieos that leave you wanting more . Check out Kumander Daot look thru some of his vedieos especially the gold mines in the mountains . It national geographic good Kuya . You will see what I’m talking about !!! Mabuhay always my friend
ive watched this video several times…watch closely and it seems like she can sense you are falling behind a bit and can hear u breathing…thats why she continues to ask u if your tired? aer u sure u want to go there? be careful…especially with the “are you tired”?
at the 16:35 mark, it looks like u are falling behind a bit and she’s looking at u…she probably could sense that you are tired and can hear u breathing hard…the reason why she asked you “are u tired”
OMG!!! great observation. Being there, I sense the same. The part where she reached out her hand across the log on the river, she sense my balance was off. But I didn’t accept her offer to keep a respectful distance
JILL IS GORGEOUS INSIDE AND OUT, WHAT A CREDIT TO HER COUNTRY
The village is very beautiful out there and the young lady speaks English very well. Would love to visit the place one day.
Damn, that girl is impressive. All those kids are.
gel iphone is just a name haha 😂
Let a little girl have ambition dawg. She DID say it’s a want and not a need yeah?
Lol, you are sounding tired like I would have been if I had been hiking with them, lol. They were right in being concerned about you. Hope there are no snakes in that part of the Philippines.
High elevation brother. That’s my excuse and I am standing by it🤣
She is adorable. Here in the USA one would have to search long and diligently to find a child this approachable.
It’s a different world…😊
Wait a mint bro, its much better f u make the kid Surprise for her bd 🎉! 🤷🏻♂️
I appreciate that. It’s hard to make surprises to a small and close nitch family and I am a newcomer.
Laptops are better for the kids for schooling than a desktop because the kids and take the laptops to school or coffee shops for the WiFi, Most filipinos do not have internet at home!!
I am setting the family up with home internet tomorrow. I am just concerned that a laptop is easier to be stolen or dropped
@Q Adventures That makes sense, A phone for when she needs to look up things at school would be good, But that all depends on the Donations, Great work what you are doing, Filipinos are amazing People!!
They are. And I had 1 subscriber who purchased the iPhone AND the laptop already. My friend in CA has already received it and will bring it to me 1st week of July
@Q Adventures Wow that is amazing to hear, You have alot of great people helping, Amazing work!!
Your voice is too loud compared to the voices of other people, is there a way you can even out the sound? Especially with headphones on it’s a bit much.
I apologize. It’s cultural with my voice. I will invest in better equipment going foward
She is a sweetheart! All of those kids are so loveable.
With a little support and guidance she will become a very successful person she is as shiny star
100% agreed. She will have her own channel with great content by mid July. I will keep everyone posted
I’m planning on my first visit to the Philippines soon, seeing if I want to go long term. I’ve been watching several vloggers from both expats and locals, so this video popped into my feed. Such a gorgeous area, and I was sad you didn’t find your original goal, but it turned out even better. Such a smart and sweet for guide. I’ll check out your channel.
What original goal??? LOL… This angel is God sent and once in a lifetime. My original goal will be there 10 yrs from now
@Q Adventures Haha. The original goal being the reason y’all trekked up the mountain seeking to meet a traditional craftsman.
Thank you my friend for sharing this moving vlog, it reassures me that in the next 2 years we will be moving to the most wonderful country and share the rest of my life with my wonderful filipino family..the young girl is so cute and kind, not like the children in our own country.. I have found in my many visits to iloilo and the Philippines that no matter where you go, the children have respect for their elders..but seeing Jel on your vlog ,she is an inspiration to every teenager in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thankyou for sharing your experience with us ..regards Tim and Jn from UK 🇬🇧
Your words are heartfelt. Thank you for the encouragement
Wow , what a excellent video , very special Derrick , warms my heart, on you meeting so many special children !!!
It blew my mind❤️
Did she say she is 8? I can’t believe her English is so good at her age.
No. She’s 12 today and we are celebrating after her school
5:10 what a beautiful girl
Omg she is such a cute sweetheart
She’s amazing. Am getting ready to go celebrate her bday as we speak. Will upload the video tomorrow
You go to their country and like the ugly American you become intrusive. You can’t even ask about gunmaking in the US BECAUSE OF THE SECOND Amendment.
She’s so compassionate and also business minded 👍👍👍
Yeah. She got me with a free bag of banana chips for 5 freaken pesos and got me hooked
What these kids did is actually dangerous. Going in a secluded dense grassy area with a total stranger just all by themselves without the supervision of their adult relatives. And this looks like a pedo video.
Coming from USA myself, I agree 100%. This is. Different world. Try coming to this part of the world with bad intentions, no one will get 1 block ahead before all the farmers and neighbors come out with bamboo sticks and machetes
She is going to be successful in life.💯👍❤
Come over to her channel mid July. I will keep all updated
Cool!🍾
Beautiful, charming young lady. The filipino people are so nice.
I came here from Redondo bro. Thanks for the support, neighbor
The reason they don’t sell alcohol probably is because it costs too much for them, so it isn’t worth it to them to sell it. It’s what we in the states might call a loss leader.
Brilliant child angel, as a neighbor i am really happy for her and thank you for the support you give to her family. Our house is only a walking distance from there house angel and her siblings go to our house to research and making projects. More powers bro. Her family is very generous also. Hope you continue helping people
Thank you. I will not stop
I havent seen you in person but maybe today. In Angels birthday, 🙂
I’m sitting here waiting for the lechon bro.
@Q Adventures Ahh.. okey ill go there later bro .. 🙂
Kuya Anthony is there also bro?
she is so beautiful she is so nice..
I concur
Don’t talk to much about gun maker in that area find them secretly
Good looking out. 👌
Dude I think that Girl is cute but too young for you, Yes Bisaya People are approachable eventhough some haven’t meet foreigners before, you look like Asian but born in U.S.A. it is in our DNA to be polite and hospitable!
She’s turning 12 today, so yes. Not everything in the Philippines is about “hooking up” bro. And I agree with you
*_This is some of the best content on the Philippines I’ve seen to date! I’m so done with the U.S, Brother!_*
*_Lolz!_*
*_This looks like the area I visited when I was over there in 2018. I went to Tandag City in Surigao Del Sur, on the Southern most island, Mindanao. Tandag City is right on the east coast of Mindanao! It faces outward to the open Pacific Ocean! Anyway, when you trek inland just seven to ten minutes, it looks just like this! Beautiful, Tropical, Exotic JUNGLE!_*
*_One of the reasons I’d Love to return there is I’ve always been a Big Martial Arts enthusiast and nerd! They have an art they train over there in the Southern regions of Mindanao known as “Kun Tao”. I’d thoroughly enjoy going back to Mindanao and playing FMA’s one day! That’s short for (F)ilipino (M)artial (A)rts_*
*_~Did I mention how I’m so done with the U.S?_*
*_Lolz!_*
🇵🇭♥️🥋😎
The Philippines will welcome you like it did me
wow, I love the innocence. It is beautiful. When this girl grows up she will be a diamond in the rough. I hope she keeps herself pure.
We are set up as a community to make sure of that
@Q Adventures amen and amen. I hope so with all my heart.
Happy birthday Gel !! 🥳🥳
Wow!!! You remembered. I’ll do my best on her bday video. Upload in the morning
Happy birthday Angel from London, England. I just wanted to say that your English accent sounds much nicer than my English accent.
I have sent a little gift to you via Derek for your birthday.
She’s clothes shopping on Sunday as we will continue her bday on Saturday
I love British accents. But I also find it amusing when you drop letters out. : “Bri-ish”!
Greetings from California USA
If intentions are good you are safe in these places ,Just don’t be naïve to think that no adults or their parents are not watching these kids ．Filipinos bond together when done harm.
Amen!!! And the road is 1 way in and out with lots of farmers with machetes in a city known for guns on top of that
These two trying to get sum guns, you dont have to make excuses to obtain guns in the philippines, theyre pretty much useless if got one just dont use it coz you dont wanna end up in prison in the Philippines, if you havent been to hell, its the prison in the Philippines.
You’re funny
@Q Adventures not as funny when you ended up inside the prison there..
great video bro, i dig that you moved there, hopefully God’s will i will also be moving there next year..and ill start vlogging. You got my sub brotha.
For sure!!! Look me up if you decide to come over to Cebu
@Q Adventures Thanks brotha for sure, thats your contact in whatsapp so for sure., stay safe and keep doing great things D
This Girl is just adorable and very smart. Not to mention a face for print!
I would much rather eat the fruit and vegetables they grow … I’m sure they are not laced with pesticides.
Ants still crawling on the exterior
These kids understand the meaning of having to work..and have responsibilities and respect..the parents should be proud …
Are you tired ? You foreigner .. you can’t keep up.. lol
The mountain area is stunning …
Total peace
It would be awesome to get high speed Internet up there…and a few computers… and that will open doors that might otherwise not be aware of.. .. I’m sure that their isolation from everyday news will be an eye opening experience… but they must be aware oh the wickedness that also exists. And that is prevalent
On it
Amazing how fresh and green everything is…
She needs both… iPhone and laptop…😊
On it pronto
Wow, so beautiful there, and the locals are so kind and friendly
Gel speaks so well and articulate
Beautiful child.
Very intelligent girl. Pray she have a better life sooner than later. She is so adorable.
Things are in motion. She will have her own channel by mid July. Hope you can subscribe and support her channel. Will keep you all informed
Yes. But from what i see. Her life is already better than most people. Nature+family+no stress = a very contented life for me. Ah just add wifi its very cheap.
Start a go fund or something
It would be illegal for me to do it as I am not a charity organization. Also, gofundme doesn’t work in the PI. someone there has to do it on their behalf and other logistical things that are very sensitive
she is pretty
My future God daughter ❤️
What an amazing young lady, thanks for this awesome video.
I was there in February and this video makes me want to go back.
You should have never left.. 😊😁
Jk, the Philippines will always welcome you back
100 km equal 62 miles
Thank you for that. I didn’t have access to Google up in the mountains and I’m not the type of Chinese man that is good with math😁
Gel is adorable.
The whole time she was just so kind and concerned of everyone’s safety; it shows how Filipino children are raised in the Philippines. I wish a major tv network see and show how amazing the kid is.
I’m pitching it bro. I was fortunate enough to have a few guests in my home at worked in Hollywood in different capacities. I’m pitching it
small eating Ahaha
Great job guy’s, we all have to protect and give the kids advice about strangers, hats off to you my friend
Nice thing about a small mountain community is that even the teachers and school staff are involved
@qadventures why are there 2 comments did someone clone my YouTube account?
I DID see 2 identical comments from you. I am tech stupid so I can’t answer your clone question
New sub, bro
Thank you for the subscription. I am grateful
Such great video she is so cute
The daughter figure I never had😇
Maybe it is not something they have to worry about, but how do they secure their produce at night?
Honor system work so well in these small communities
Very smart girl
Good future coming her way
@Q Adventures With your help. It’s great you’re showing her the way. Her channel will do well. Doesn’t have to be anything flashy just simple village and family life in the Phil’s. Maybe Americans can learn something about family values from a Philippine 👼
100% agreed. I saw a “goldmine” of content up there. And she articulates well. That’s where the idea came from. SHE and her community should benefit from that goldmine I have discovered in the form of so many content and not an “outsider” that is me
@Q Adventures In the birthday video when her dad was hugging her It was a tear jerker and I’m a “tough guy” I think he was just so proud of her. She is a special girl it’s going to be nice to watch her grow up and see what happens in her life. Thanks for helping us to see the world needs more Angels .
And that opportunity is coming mid July as Gel will have her own channel. Please tune in for updates and support her channel and I will be in the background as support and mentorship
Jill is eloquent. I hope she gets good education and be a leader one day. Much love from a Fil-Am ..killa KalifornicationZzz Southbay 310
Redondo here!!! We have good plan in place for Gel. She will have her channel up by mid July and hope to gain your support
hahaha.. Carson here but a SPHS Alumni
Nosso que menina muito Bonita!.
🙏❤️ Mucha gracias
Been to Philippines twice. The most awesome people. Makes you realize what you have. My small annual social security income would house and feed a family of 8-10. Jill is a typical Filipino. Sweet, cute, shy, but smart. Love the culture! FAMILY!
i has live in philippines 3 year and 4 time, and i hate phillys, lot lot better and beauty girls live thailand i move to live thailand 10 year before and lot better country live than phillippine. thai have lot better kind,care,sweet,beauty,and smart than philippine girls, and not lie and thief so much than philippines have, all womans lie,scam,thief,hookers. philippines have best beauty at young girl but ower 30y no thanks uglys. thai have better, 50y old woman looking 18 y young beauty all life.
i think the vlogger is the one should apologize to her for iniating a conversation with her without speaking a little bit of her language. he is in her country so speak atleast a little bit of her language.
She has such lovely, gentle eyes, I hope she takes the advice to heart and can learn to avoid the dark side of people before it unfold, she deserves the best🙏
She is a perfect human being, yet she is still very self conscious. The curse of being a tween. We will do our best to guide and mentor her
Gel has the intelligence annd character of a future Medical Doctor 👍🇵🇭
The world is the limit for this child
She is so kind always telling him to be careful I love the Philippines 🇵🇭 my wife is pinoy we are going on 6 years married
She has a great and very mature sole
So innocent and sweet. I Love the view, love the country. I plan to go there before to long. Thanks for the videos.
My pleasure Cowboy. If you want any kind of support group upon arrival, I am also very involved in a beautiful expat group
@Q AdventuresSounds great, I’m sure I or we will need it, never having been there before. Closer to time. You will hear from me. Also, I want to contribute something to help her or her family. Like you mentioned. Thanks for reaching out.
Great video! I’m :30 minutes in, and I think this was a perfect opportunity to show how wonderful and inviting the people are. Thanks for sharing.
Man she is like the template of a of a humble beautiful young lady.
She should offer etiquette class right???😊
@Q Adventures I think she will naturally influence her friends. Sometimes the phone can be a problem.
How adorable and so much respect this little girl is so awesome, I wish American kids were this respectful
Yes. Did you notice Gel and the other girl greeted Grandpa, bowed and put their forehead to his hand? Very respectful, and they must see him every day..
I brought my son here when he was 10 for the 3 months of his summer vacation. He went home a humbled kid
Gel is not out of breath.
Ok. Ok. I’m old and fat. I get it
..🤣
Is there cobras there?
Haven’t seen 1 and never asked. Maybe I should…
Filipinos are such happy people, always laughing!! Even my ex gf here in the states was always laughing and making jokes and having fun. And she’s soooo cute! She really does have perfect English. I often wonder how they speak so wonderfully.
It’s a select few that goes above and beyond. Gel is one of them😊
🍌
AnGEL is sweet, kind, soft-spoken, thoughtful, and respectful.
I noticed how she and her sister greeted their Grandpa by putting their forehead to his hand. So nice!
I Love the lilt in her voice when she says “yes.”
American women should take lessons from AnGEL!
Love it. I’ll tell Angel to give etiquette class🤣
One of the reason why filipinos are so kind especially in the provinces, is because they are cultivated by beautiful nature. If you have a beautiful nature, it makes you smile, pure and natural
I subscribe to that
reminded me of my wife’s place in the mountains of Negros….
Apologizing is their culture. They even do it to each other in Tagalog or their provincial language. Teaching them out of it is not recommended. To them, this is almost as if you are shaming them, which is not something you should do. Just a little Filipino advice for you. Yes, very polite kids.
That brought a different perspective. I just realized that I’ve imposed my western culture on her. Thank you for the enlightenment
@Q Adventures they are also too polite to tell you when you do. Learn the language and culture and you will fit in and be appreciated. Filipinos are wonderful people who can teach us all about humility.
Very impressive young lady. Beautiful landscape. Beautiful people.
Too beautiful having the privilege to be there
After checking the law I discovered I could not even walk with the grandkids of my wife unless the parent was with them.
I wasn’t aware of this law and thank you for pointing that out. In this case, I was on the family’s property and was surrounded by her family including her grandfather that was working on the farm
Surely you found a diamond in the haystack
Sure did!!! And I am on my last video of the series so I can mentor her to begin her own channel to reap the benefits. Anymore I do for my own channel will perhaps cross the line to exploitation
Gel is such a captivating beautiful young lady. I wish our Western young people had the grace to respect others as does beautiful Gel. (Grant, Melbourne Australia)
Yes. She is rhe most adorable
Hello Gel from Maine U.S.A.
What gem. She is absolutely gorgeous.
I am a white man from Canada and I married a Pina , I am so happy , these people are so incredibly inspiring to me !! I LOVE YOU Filipinos!!!!!!!!
I love to hear Gel say Yes she is so cute reminds me of my grandkids😂😂
Her “yes” is so distinct
She is so sweet.
I expressed to her parents that I desire to have the privilege of being her God Father 1 day in the future
🤣 16:45 Are you tired? Hahaha
Elevation man… thin air…😁 that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it🤣
Hey Derek, what amazing work and contribution. ‘Gel’ is a great find and so happy to see that she’s getting help. Let’s stay in touch – rather I shall stay in touch with you and some time later this year, I may go over to the Philippines to meet you. I really hope to do a little bit to add to your philanthropy whenever possible. You truly are God-sent to Gel and her family, as well as to the Philippines. I live in India and shall connect soon. God speed!
Excellent my friend. India is just a short flight away. I try my very best to accommodate, meet and respond to all my subscribers. Please reach out to me via messenger. Being from India, you can probably valuable input on the young man with clef whom I am determined to help. But I don’t know much about it medically and resourcefully
Curse words around women are not a cert good representation of the US. Otherwise a great video.
Thank you for that. I will be more self aware and contain it
@Q Adventures Thank you. That’s says a lot. I watched some of your other videos and I appreciate what you do there.
“not good” but also not neccesarely a false representation tho. To me his talking seems really thoughtful throughout. But perhaps I just don’t have that sensitive ears.
@Bernadette Neudorf Or maybe you don’t have any respect for women, despite having a female name. It isn’t a matter of hearing, just simple respect. If you don’t have that, well…
@armedhippie nah, I dont think so. I didnt mean to offend you.
What a interesting little village. Gotta love those bootlegg gun runners. Doing what they can to survive and take care of there own.
That’s exactly what I am curious to ask. But I stumbled across this little angel instead
Sweet girl.
Let’s buy Gel an IPhone.
Quite a back yard. Nice kid
Backyard like this doesn’t call for Xbox or whatever tech
Panoramic views
By accident. I am new to this so I am dabbling. Thanks for pointing it out. Next time I slow it down a tad to get even better panoramic
31:45 Aaaw! I’m melting… —> Watching a Youtube-Video of this length entirely is perhaps the biggest indicator for it’s great quality. Grade 1.0 for Mr. Derek (ref. Philippine Rating System)
You got me tearing. I am so proud of this video
You are so blessed! This trip was awesome .
God sent me an Angel
How likely is it to run into a cobra in that jungle? I would be worried about that.
My fingers always crossed
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I have to admit I’m hooked. Being from the Jersey Shore in the states I cannot tell you how different and refreshing it was to have an in-depth unscripted natural look at this culture as if I was truly there myself. Great job to everyone in the video and especially to the star herself. When I come across videos like this it truly restores my faith in humanity. For anyone who watches the entire video if you don’t get anything else from it at least take these two valuable lessons. 1 Not all heroes where capes and 2 not all superstars live in Hollywood. Great job and I cannot wait for the next episode.
@Brand Solutions thank you for such kind words😊🙏
I was surprised on how this girl talks at her young age she can be able to communicate with foreigners . So adorable girl. She has her own way of learning things and that’s for me was a sign that she would excel and to achieve her goals in life. A little more practice and she wil be good talking in English .
She’s great and not shy. I think that’s what makes her so loveable
Hi, am from Danao City..gun making is still active in the area both legal and illegal..to witness gunmaking you need somebody as contact person or guide..it is a secretive industry.
If you know anybody as a guide or direct maker, please let me know. I am very interested in meeting one. I just want to understand the traditional way of making them, the culture, the evolution and such. Please reach out to me via whatsapp or messenger
You should take the whole family out for her Birthday.
I uploaded the bday video. I hope you are proud. Taking them out for dinner is not practical because the closest restaurant is 45 minutes down a narrow mountain, only the immediate family can enjoy, and 1hr back up hill drive.
wow it puts us to shame in the West when our youth are grafiteeing and looting stores and can barely speak their own language. These people have so little but dont complain. are happy and have wonderful manners
Wow!!! You are so right
American english is not proper lol
A natural charmer, and so smart. Glad to see how kind and patient you guys were with her.
When a gem is found, you take proper care😊
WOW i hope she gets all the help she needs
We have a team. And it will grow as needed
angel has to make her own you tube channel she is so kind and humble she will have millions of subscribers
It’s in the works. I have 2 more recent videos with such updates
@Q Adventures good job , how was her bday party did you go
Yes. I am the initiator. Pls watch Angel’s 24 minute insight on Ai’s channel.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ClKFZNULYfw&t=11s
Awwww what a little sweetie eh. So kind and her English is amazing. I love the Philippine people they’re so kind. ♥️💯🇨🇦
She is and they are❤️🙏
You lived in Los Angeles. (the armpit of the United States) THAT explains why you think the USA is a crowded polluted place to leave. I have news for you. once you leave L.A / Southern Calif, and other big cities. the other 75 % of the country is smog free, traffic free, crowd free with beautiful scenery and peaceful easy living. But you’re like most Southern Californians. So wrapped up in your own bubble that you’re ignorant of those facts.
A very nice beautiful filipina young lady can explain to the foreign tourist thanks
Angel is just like her name and had Great English and so sweet. The banana chips is a Great idea and my Mom used to make Banana Bread out of ripe ones and my sisters loved Fronen ones covered in chocolate sauce,, my fav is Banana Yogurt
So sweet. Thank you for the input
what is her channel? ill follow!
We haven’t came up with the name yet. Please stay tuned
@Q Adventures will do
Teach her how to have her own Youtube channel, this is a good video!
Yes. It’s in the works. Her channel name will be announced next week and her channel will be live.in mid July
She doesn’t know how good she has it. We may have more things then they do but what they have is 10 times better!
That’s wisdom from you
The girl is very beautiful. I would like to have such a daughter. Note to the operator: the video camera constantly focused the operator’s gaze on the girl’s butt, this is not good, it was very noticeable. These children are very trusting and open, you can’t go to the forest or somewhere else with unfamiliar men. Such a journey can end sadly.
I was pointed out to me. I sincerely apologize as it wasn’t my intention. I was hyper focused on the slippery terrain and my breath as you can hear it on the video. Elevation was high and I am a tobacco consumer
SO Great place and great kids! Thanks for the Vlog!
My pleasure 🫶
These kids understand the meaning of having to work..and have responsibilities and respect..the parents should be proud …
I dont think they want any one to know this.
The kids family education in the Philippines are amazingly good, in the West is very difficult to find well behaved and educated children like that young lady.
Amen🙏
dont trust easily
We made sure to put a solid barrier for her channel
Oi tudo bem amiga! vamos conversar SOBRE NATUREZA E VIDA! Deus abençoe muito mais! Chegou a nossa vez!
mucha gracias. ciao
What a beautiful and intelligent child Angel is.
😢
Beautiful video, hello from USA Arizona
Nice. My guest now is from Phoenix
SALAMAT🌏🏡
Why don’t ignorant westerners learn the correct pronunciation for Danao
Drongos whom give westerners a bad name.
local here, todays price of babana is considered expensive and the current problem of some farmer are banana thief bwahahah some get killed unnotice😂
Thank you for the informative feedback.
my birthday is in June.😁😁😁😁
@Q Adventures does she have a youtube channel.
Not yet. Coming in mid July. Pls stay tuned. We are working diligently
@Q Adventures Thank you. they are so friendly and i wish every country was like thsi.
@Q Adventures I live in Indiana by the way
greetings from coastal Goa … you had a wonderful experience led by the adorable young lass, and her friendly lil group. You are blessed to be among their midst and enjoying such a blissful experience. I have a lot of lovely online friends in the Philippines radiating positive vibes. New subscriber here … got to watch Gel’s birthday video.
Cute, smart, outgoing and great English, she has a bright future in front of her. Excellent video.
Thank you. Please stay tuned for updates on her personal channel. Appreciate every support we can get for her
Thanks to English movies, I also became fluent when kids just keep watching, English school subjects dont work so much its more on noun prounoun, short sentences.
Such a wonderful and enjoyable video of a magical place with amazing people. I’m jealous of how wonderful this day is for you.
Be jealous, my friend. I was do blessed to have found Gel and the community by accident
god dayum!.. i want to napalm this paradise so bad!
I just stumbled across this video, it’s creepy giving a pedo vibe
She was a treat here – very good at her tour and obviously proud of their little slice in the PI. Hope she gets the “celebrity” that she’s shooting for one day, good for her!!
🙏please tune in for updates and support her channel
@Q Adventures I like gel . I am a mechanical engineer. Can I get to know her.
No
Does the area always stay so beautiful and green all year
Gel is so sweet and beautiful
It does. It’s tropical and rain pretty much every month. Just more constant in some months over others
Drink hemlock
Don’t ruin such a beautiful girl with communist cellphone or computers
WTF?!?!?
People come to the Philippines because of the peace and tranquility of the Philippines.
That’s what I came for
The true beauty of the Philippines is the kindness and caring of the Filipino people. Derek, I think you are a good man and I would hope to be the same if I am fortunate enough to one day be able to visit the Philippines
It’s the only matter of priority. If you want it enough, you will make it here and your life will change for the better.
very natural…
OMG I remember people being like this in the United States. That’s been over 60 years ago. Can you believe the difference how much time has changed. These kids take me back to the old ways of the united states when children were responsible respectful and reasonable. Wow love this vlog. I hope this little girl get everything she hopes for in life..but I don’t think she realizes how lucky she is not to be exposed to the united states.
Every media in USA is HYPER SEXUALIZED The Americans are desensitized and welcome the hyper sexualization
Amen Brother. I do miss those days. What an effed up world we live in. I could go to the store and buy a pack of smokes or a little bottle of joy juice for the lady next door, no it’s highly illegal. But, if you want to changer their sexes, rock on. God is coming for us.
😘😘😘😘
Kind of weird seeing well behaved children; unlike here in the U.S..
Shocking!!! They DO exist!!!🤣🫶
Believe me, tennis are not the best option to walk over there. A pair of sandals are the best. When walking with my asawa’s lands in Bohol, I fell down many times with my tennis; sandals were the only and the best option.
I’m heading back to Bohol now. I’ll take your advice
Gel’s English is better than most American girls her age. Beautiful people, beautiful place.
Shes a beautiful girl. Nice of you to encourage her.
She will be a part of my life now as I am mentoring her to create her own channel. Would love it if you can subscribe to HER channel coming mid July. Please stay tuned for updates
Those kids are so precious and so kind
I was so fortunate and privileged to meet such beautiful and kind hearted kids
23:42 what did they say that made him go “STOP STOP STOP, COME HERE”
He apologized for not speaking English well. I stopped him to clarify that I was the guest in his country. So it’s not his obligation to speak english to me and I didn’t want him to constantly apologize. I wanted him to take his time and speak as he was accommodating me and I understood him
HOW OLD’S SHE?
Only 12
She could fall into that hole!
It’s there playground and backyard. These kids are savvy
How old is she?
Just turned 12. I have her bday party on vid (both of them). Check it out
She is an angel💖
She was properly named by her father
Happy Birthday Gel!!! Gel is so adorable and caring for others. She will be very happy if she can go to U.S.
If that is her wish when she gets older, I will help her accomplish that goal
@Q Adventures If you want to show her scum, as one vlogger wrote said take her to the center of Manila and she can see the s**thole that America has become. Some dreams are better off left as dreams.
@Q Adventures She’s a very lovely girl! How old is she?
Yes, beautiful people, beautiful village… God bless you
Thank you 🙏🫶
Nice video, but i don’t understand why that girl want a I-phone while there are many other mobiles that are cheaper and sometimes even better. By the way did you know that USA not have any official language, and when you talk about America you talk about the continent and that USA is a part of it. Sorry i am Dutch and we are know to be very direct and sometimes seen as rude. But your contents are very nice. I am part Asian and born in Jakarta but living in the Netherlands.
@Chochi To America means North, Mid and South of America. Call it what you want but they own only the states and nothing around it. and Canada, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and many more are part of America and if i go to Thailand i go to Asia but Thailand is not Asia, its only a part of it. Just like the USA is part of America.
@Gino _58_NL I’m not sure I understood your comment, but it is simple. Somebody one day woke up and gave the USA the name America and people kept repeating it and here we are. Doesn’t mean that it has to make sense to others. Again, when people talk about “America”, they mean the USA, nothing else.
@Chochi To It’s true. I do know when we say Americans, we mean people from USA. This applies to people from USA, who consider themselves Americans. Like a short-form for the people of the United States of America.
Yes. We all breathe the same air
Be careful exposing this girl and her loc, there is a lot of pido..s on here. A little girl should not accept gifts from strangers especially foreigners because it can lead a girl to bad things in life.
Thus far, I am the only person going up there. Secondly, it is a very small mountain community notorious for gunmakers and only 1 way in and out 45 minutes up the mountain, thirdly, her youtube channel will be managed by her parents and a team of adults including her school staff. She will only be the content creator. I assure you every possible precautions are taken and I am pleased that I have subscribers like yourself that cares
Hope this helps get a comp for the kids
Thank you Luke. It will
Amazing girl
I agree. I am hoping she builds enough confidence to realize her own potential
Omg this was the greatest video I’ve seen in a very long time. This little girl is the sweetest and to see all the other kids seem so curious to the camera too. What a peaceful place. I hope kids like Jill get a opportunity to follow there dreams and fulfill them with there efforts. Thank you soo much for sharing
My pleasure. Things are in motion to help the community kids. Gel will have her own channel mid July with a team of adults, including her parents and some school staff and myself serving as a mentor. Please stay tuned for updates and support Gel’s channel
Yeah. Me too. Sadly most of this rural kids marry early even by filipino standards. Or have a family of their own not married
31:06 for the next minute or so is sooooo beautiful to see. She is so precious and kind, what an absolute Angel.
My birthday is May 26 too!!!! Omg
She is an absolute Angel
What happened to the gun makers? That’s the real reason you went bush wasn’t it ? Or was it?
Not sure about illegal gun makers but there’s a lot of foreigners go to the Philippines with devious motives regarding YOUNG girls.
See my body of work before you insinuate
Statistically speaking you guys were bound to show up it was just a matter of time. Not sure what you were expecting but the video contains more than “young girls” for instance, her aunt, her grandfather, her brother who is in high school and many other people. You are exactly the kind of person that will destroy these kids ideas of people in the world.
Is your school project to wait for a shitty phone to take 2 hours to turn on???
What??? Referencing iPhone quality, I presume?
She so cute & smart, I love this video.. Beautiful mountains nice garden…
you are an excellent communicator bro
Thank you, royramos8221. I am new at this and trying to level up each time
This tour was one of the most insightful trips I have ever experienced in which young Filipinos share their dreams and hopes with such candour. The mountain gardens of these country people are as close to Eden as most of us will ever journey. Well done vlog.
Thank you kindly. 🙏
i love you gel
Cakep anjirr ceweknya jadi pengen
..truly lovely people and the pleasant natural surroundings, I felt very lucky to find this video. Shame that you can’t walk with your “nikies”, which are outdoor shoes, but they can easily walk and climb with just sandals , it may be mostly practice.
I’m too spoiled😊
@Q Adventures exactly, we are all here in the us
Government must regulate this pedophelia
At what point, anywhere in this video, did you see or hear ANYTHING sexual??? The Philippines community and those who has visited and have an understanding of the Philippines saw goodness of this video.
I don’t even know you but I can say with 100% certainty… You are part of the problem. The fact that he even left your stupid comment up shows he’s more of a tolerant person than myself. Being a normal person and a father to five kids I cannot even figure out what you saw in that video to leave such a comment. Please carry on and continue trolling.
Adventures guys, Derek, I would really like to know if you made it to her birthday, and if you were able to video that and share it here on yt, thanks!!!
Yes. Both her parties. Please watch them, they are both great. To see the joy of this innocent little 😇
Very cute and so innocent little girl nice conversation and my best wishes for successful bright future to her..
Are you tired? Made me laugh. 🙂
I was laughing at myself inside at the shape I was in
You took me back there! Thanks!
Happy birthday Gel!!
Shes a blessing
No argument there😊
The Philippines youth absolutely taught the way of family and GOD UNLIKE IN THE STATES, WHERE KIDS ARE DISRESPECTFUL AND, RUDE CARRYING WEAPONS 24/7😢THIS IS WHY I CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO CEBU
You look me up when you get here. I am also very active in the expat support community
Wow amazing beautiful places and smart kids 😍 have fun and safe
Thank you. God bless
She is cute and smart 💕💕
Like a daughter I never had
SWEETY PRINCESS ♥
Such a intelligent, kind, charismatic and beautiful young lady!! I wish her all the best that life can offer her!!
You do the coolest things when I’m not there. 😂
This is what it’s all about, my friend.
I didn’t know you were into stuff like this, John
So humble a joy to watch .
Thank you kindly
Great video my man. Such lovely kind people.😀👍🏾
Thank you kindly. Please enjoy my other great contents
Seriously I would’ve already passed out from all the walking, she’s not even breathing heavy.
It’s her backyard. She’s acclimated 😇🫶
@Q Adventures saw the whole series, thank you bro for helping her out, gotta admit it did bring a tear to my eye for all you’re doing for her.
She is very smart and her English is very good👍👍I hope she have a beautiful life growing up👍👍👍
I suggest editing the closed captions, instead of bothering with the text overlays. I think most people watch with closed captions, but the auto-generated ones are less than great. The best vloggers all edit their CC, go check.
Thank you for the suggestion 🙏
She’s adorable, such a cute kid. I love how happy everyone is in the Philippines, and so friendly too. I look forward to going back in a few months and love the place.
If you need to rent a scooter in cebu, please keep me in mind. Thank you kindly…🙏😊
@Q Adventures will do 👍
Hey, I just subscribed and liked your video and I’m in Minnesota Saint , Paul I like your video already
Hey… thank you. My subscriber and friend in that video also from MN. 🙏
Gel is so Caring – Kind – and pretty and really into English speaking and her wish is to go to U.S.A. ( Take Care Gel and Stay Safe)
Yes. She will have her channel mid July. I hope you can stay tuned for updates and support her channel so she can be independent. 🙏
This young lady speaks better English than my co-workers. I was in Subic Bay about 100 years ago, and all I ever saw of the country was Ologapoo City. Don’t remember how to spell it. I’d almost prefer her NOT to have wi-fi and be exposed to all the garbage on it.
Thanks to English movies, I also became fluent when im young, just keep watching, English school subjects dont work so much its more on noun prounoun, short sentences.
You learn what the teachers teach. If the teachers teach incorrectly, unfortunately, you learn incorrectly
She’s charming your pants off
You seem like a nice fellow. I think it would be good not to use the f word around the kids.
I didn’t realize I did. I will be more aware going forward. Thank you for pointing that out
@Q Adventures ❤️🙏
I just found your channel. I’m going to go back to the beginning and see if I can learn a little bit about you. I’ve been married to a Filipina for 51 years
Congratulations on your marital Bliss. Please do watch my earlier videos so you know more of me 🙏
Wow that’s beautiful place
Excellent community also
She is not shy but reserved. It is good approach I think.
Be honest, you were tired. 😅
😞 yes I was…😞 Elevation isn’t a joke
I like her already. 😍
Much to like
Super cute girl ! ❤❤❤
So innocent, caring and childlike 😊
You should not be there. Trying to film people engaged in illegal activity puts them and their families at risk. Don’t come bumbling in like a baby in a forest, from Minnesota no less.
Where should I be?
andre is a good big brother 👍🏻
He is. Very mature and aware of his surroundings for his age also
Bt.full video(s) and interaction with Jil (..&fam..&friends) ,,Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 🙏 thanks for appreciating my content
Brave young lady😂
Linux is your friend.
We got here something beginners and go from there
What a cool kid. Good video. Just found you in travel videos. Following, good content.
@Q Adventures Good luck with your blog. Lupita is almost done cooking. Thanks for chatting, we will chat again I’m sure. One thing I have noticed. In the videos of the few bloggers I follow, the “poor” people are the most humble happy and giving of all. From the Phils, to Columbia…Thailand and others, that seems to be a common denominator. Poor is truly rich.
Correct observation. Money gets people suspicious, become woke and Karens also exist in the phils
@Q Adventures absolutely, I think you finding Gel instead of your original idea was a blessing. Just think, you never know where it can lead. Maybe some day she can cure something. She is a bright soul and her family is amazing. I will follow her as well. You did good. Thank you.
Yeah. Her family just arrived at my home now. Taking them to the mall so Gel can create some content for her channel. Mountain girl in the city… treating them to the cinema for the 1st time
Derek, I came across this video of yours w/Gel, I loved it! Maybe sometime later I can help contribute a little unto your channel. I have a soft spot in my heart for this Country, that I got to enjoy often when in the US Navy in later 60s and early 70s. I already sponsor through Compassion International three Philippine girls all in different locations there, however hope to help you later to continue showing the Philippine children. God Bless You & your channel – Danny
Thank you Danny. Your best contribution is to continue watching my videos and perhaps share my videos with family and friends. I will make a video soon to discuss my full game plan with my philanthropy work here
She’s adorable !! ❤
Please support her upcoming channel. Stay tuned for updates
Wondering how much is her $ share
Sad…
She is absolutely a princess … lets hope that the western culture does not corrupt their way of life
Please stay tuned for updates on her upcoming channel Mid July and you can follow her progress. Perhaps even give her inputs
She is real “Filipina girl” . maraming salamat brother Derek
Brilliant kid
Please support her upcoming channel to be released mid July. Stay tuned for updates
smart kid, lets encourage her and support her
Thank you. Her channel is coming….😊
This girl is so adorable.
She is… and she will have her own channel coming mid July. Please tune in to show her some support!!!🫶
She is a real ordinary people and smart. Please support her for what she “needs” and not “wants”🙏
Nope. No spoiling
If she ever gets a laptop, OpenOffice is the way to go instead of MS Office
beautiful and smart kid
Philippine people show that poverty is no excuse for bad manners and criminal behaviors
That’s the draw.
Liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you for your support 🙏
i’m very happy for discovering your channel today brother .. i love nature and specially seeing kindly people because it defines no barriers in between no matter what nationality and country we came from …❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m glad you found me. We all breathe the same air at the end of the day
so beautiful girl 🙄😳🥺😘🥰🙏🏾😇
Gel is such a sweetheart. I love the way she says Yes! Hope you can help her achieve some of her dreams 🙏
The ball started rolling!!! Momentum is picking up as we have already came up with her own channel name
@Q Adventures I’m watching the videos as we speak. She’s going to be a huge YouTuber she just doesn’t know it yet. As long as she’s willing to work. She’s an awesome kid
edgardofrancisco4075 was SPOT ON , I am repiting his comment: … You’ve just discovered a gem. This girl is so adorable. Very kind and caring but not shy. Definitely raised very well by her parents. I HOPE SHE CREATES HER OWN CHANEL hope she creates her own channel. People are gonna love her.
We ARE helping her create a channel. No vid uploads yet, but working on it. @mountainangeldiaries
Valuntary donation s goest to this Philippine family or the Video creators ?

💚💚💚💚
Sir, how can I purchase materials for a house and start a business there, seriously. 26:26
Your question is pretty vague and difficult to answer. There are big building supplies companies everywhere. Are you inquiring to build for yourself? Where in the Philippines? Etc. You can file your business with SEC but is it going to be an LLC, S Corp, C Corp, etc?
@Q Adventures Yes. I can purchase materials, and hire men. I’m serious. I am a electrician in early retirement due to health issues. Did that answer your question? I’ll do my own research, thank you.
The little mountain Angel
I would suggest that MOUNTAIN ANGEL is perfect for the little girls blog. The abbreviation for Mountain Angel Diaries is MAD. Not advisable.
“MAD” is just over thinking it. She’ll be ok
Great kids all.❤
What an amazing surprise that was!
This is amazing..wow..beyond her age
She’s amazing 🫶
NEED A NEW CARPET ,Cant they find the money lol
Hello 👋
👋 thank you for your support of my channel
@Q Adventures my pleasure 😊
You should definitely help her start a channel talking about the land and maybe giving paid tours
Not sure about paid tours as she is only 12 and have lots of school obligations but definitely having her own channel. Please support her channel with your subscription. @MountainAngelDiaries contents coming soon
@Q Adventures hopefully donations
Nice intro video I just subscribed thanks for channel info!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELLO, i SEND BOXES FULL OF TOYS CLOTHES AND SNACKS AND SEND TO THE PHILLPINES ALL YEAR. i DO ALL THIS OUT OF MY POCKET WITH NO HELP AND WOULD LIKE TO SEND BOXES TO THE KIDS AND FAMILY OF GEL. IF YOU HAVE THERE PHYSICAL ADDRES AND NUMBER TO CANTACT THEM OR BETTER YET A FACEBOOK i CAN CORRISPOND WITH THEM. i WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE START A YOUTUBE BLOG.
As much as your offer seems like a nice gesture I don’t think any responsible vlogger would ever share personal details about the people in their videos with outsiders in order to both respect their privacy and for obvious safety concerns. I do think they are working with Gel and her family to setup a YouTube channel and a way to accept monetary and physical donations so stay tuned.
that’s really a good advice bro.
I try…
New subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦. Beautiful people
Thank you for tuning in and supporting my channel🫶🙏
So humbling. Smart ,passionate, polite children. Love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you and Filipino people. Hope to retire in the Philippines in 1 year after 40 years at American Airlines. North Carolina USA 🇺🇸
Oh cool. We just had 1 of your colleagues who retired from United as our house guest. Thank you for gracing my channel with your blessings🙏
Very smart litlle girl….Adorable💯❤
Please give her some support by subscribing to her channel. @MountainAngelDiaries she will have content on her channel within the next few days
I love it there. The girl is very smart. I was born in the P.I. My parents took me to Hawaii under 2 years old. I havent yet returned. I will soon one day return and meet all my family there.
Yes. It’s humbling here. Come back and embrace the culture where you were born🫶
Beautiful nature! nice people..!!!
i loved watching this vlog gel is a great girl their whole community is awesome good luck for her youtube 👍
She has her own channel now Paul. Please tune in and help her channel grow https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-MN0oZZuXcY
@Q Adventuressubscribed👍
most of those counterfeit guns are extremely dangerous and after they’ve been touched up you can tell its fake until it explodes in your hand. They end up in western markets and are made of very poor materials (for guns)
Thanks!
@RedBart 🫶🙏
Super cute. Wish her well
You are so fortunate that Jill is so well -mannered and very accommodating to accommodate your personal needs in vlogging , most esp in looking for a gun maker.
Yes. We were so lucky as non of it was planned. Now, Gel had her own channel and on the path to success
Nice the first part doing laundry..Typical garbage all around..They just toss the small single use laundry packs on the ground..
But the girl giving you the tour is adorable and very smart and polite.
Love this girl, so adorable and her english is pretty good. She making an effort. I like your boy, dedicated Red Horse drinkster. He a gentleman and a scholar 🙂
Gel has her own channel now, please support her @MountainAngelDiaries
You should see how dedicated my boy is. Went home and immediately started selling his life belongings so he can come back
@Q Adventures He is truly a dedicated gentleman and a scholar, more power to him and to you. Will you feature other kids in need?
Lidala
Filipina🎉
I hope she becomes president of her beautiful country one day 😊
And she has all the potential. Please show her some support on her very own channel that was recently released. @MountainAngelDiaries
She’ll be creating her own content now so she can earn a means to support her family and community
А сколько ей лет ?
12
where is that maybe I can get a tour too. well mannered kids
Sorry. No tours
@Q Adventures understood 😂
@Newperspective thank you for understanding
Yes she is a young sweet girl needs your guidance and assistance. 👏🙌👍
Yes. She has her own channel now @MountainAngelDiaries please go over and show her some support🙏
@Q Adventures thanks for your updates Derek. I will keep an eye on her new channel. I already subscribed on all 3 of your channels. 😊👍
You can tell that little baby is going far… She’s smart…. she’s pushing helsef to better herself…awesome…..😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Wish my 13 yo would get off that ps5
I brought my son to the Philippines when he was 10. He went home after 2 and half month a humbled kid. It’s the visualization
Money doesn’t make you happy..it facilitates things…but she has the life I want…just need a lake and a fishing rod😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is the ultimate peace😊
Awesome video…thank you…..there are still good people left….I loved the way you warned her to be careful….same thing I tell my son everyday….not to trust everyone
Live lagi mandi donk🙏🙏
Great job.
Very wonderful tour of the mountain farm. Thanks Gel and family.
What you will do for this young girl. Is to buy her a camera and help her open a YouTube channel. Put her through.
Already done. Please tune into her channel @MountainAngelDiaries
Gel is the daughter that I never had! So humble,caring and intelligent! With your help she will go very far! I just LOVE her! Thanks for helping her!
I feel similarly about Gel. The daughter I wished for. I think that’s her draw
Last time I checked,Jels links were NOT working!!! Was going to donate to her channel but links did NOT turn blue and were NOT working! Thought you should know!
Thank you very much. We will look into it as soon we can. Meanwhile… you still can copy the url and paste to new tab to get same result despite not being a direct blue link. It happened to me before I monetize and I suspect YouTube has something to do with it
Angel should have a yt channel 👍
She does now. @MountainAngelDiaries
Check in out and show her some support🙏
I love how friendly and happy they all seem to be
They are genuine
@Q Adventures Yes I’ve met people like that in my travels/ ministry. People who haven’t been poisoned by current society
Bless your ❤️
Most of the kids in the Philippines are very respectful to their elders its part of the culture
💯% agreed and that’s why I chose to live here. People ate so respectful and positive.
Such a sweet, intelligent and beautiful young girl. Her english is amazing and her excitement of being with you to practice it was delightful. Imagine understanding the difference between “wants” and “needs” at her age!!
She also has her own channel now and would appreciate every support and viewership. @MountainAngelDiaries 🙏
Nice meeting you yesterday @ the meet up.
Gr8 Worꓘ. 🔥🔥
Thx a Ton for the Post.
Yew Rocꓘ 🎸 Rock🎸
Pleasure was mine. Great chat
I would love to experience such carefree life experiences. Are there no harmful insects in the jungle or trail paths? Even in the northern Sweden you have to be careful about that
I am sure there are, but I didn’t see anything that is a potential harm. On Gel’s channel, @MountainAngelDiaries, she made a jungle trekking video with her father. The father made a mention of people eating snakes up there so I think the snake population is limited because of that
I just wanna say i super appreciate how you helped the girl get comfortable talking to you. filipino students are pretty much familiar with the english language, as far as reading and writing are concerned. but like you said, what’s missing is the opportunity to use it in an actual conversation. i am totally amazed with the girl’s confidence. everything starts from willingness to muster enough confidence to try, and she did real well. and for sure her experience with you boosted it more. i can feel from just watching this video. how they had so much fun using the language with you. they’d definitely practice more so that next time they’ll gonna be able to do better. here’s a sub to support you.
@sirztv thank you for your support. Gel also has her own channel now and only 20 hrs from monetization. Please also give her some support @MountainAngelDiaries🙏
Gel is very good kid I wish she doing well and believe she will have a very good future waiting for her, thank for share the video…Q
I am grateful you tuned in🙏
You are just there just to get clicks
Really?
❤❤❤nice 🎉❤
when i saw the banana tree with dead leaves she said cadaba i think she meant cataba worms cuz they eat foilage
i love fried eggplant
i pay 21 bucs a mth wifi in macon ga-lol;100mbs
Yeah. Likewise in Lapu-Lapu. But very restrictive up in the mountains where infrastructure doesn’t exist
amazing to even know they got wifi way up there out of the city
The options are extremely limited
i just watched a walking tour of isla puting bato i think was the name,so sad to see the people survive there or rather exist,ramshackle houses,living over sewage water,these kids/families got it made.
There’s a video on her channel @mountainangeldiaries of where their parents met. They used to live on top of tombs in a cemetery. What they have now is what they made for themselves, in my humbled observations
everytime i get on the phone for a customer service thru ebay/amazon/walmart i end up getting routed to the phillipines,after i am done i always make it a point to ask if they have a college degree,and most do,and i inform them that with a college degree they can join the u.s.military and earn u.s.citizenship thru their enlisting in the u.s.army;i dont know if it applies to the other branches,but this would help her fulfill her dream of getting to america.
Is that true? Can they enlist even with no ties to the US?
During the pandemic all the kids were doing “modules” on their phones, no phone, no “modules” – or they had to do on paper and many schools couldn’t afford the printing costs.
Absolutely. Lots of kids’ grades dropped significantly due to this. No access to technology, no grades. Some kids even got held back
I agree not all foreigners are good . Underage filipina girls should not trust all foreigners. Always travel in groups like you do now.
God!!!! What an amazing girl..Warm…friendly…full of feelings…God bless her…
She also has her own channel featuring her community and mountain lifestyle very fascinating stuff. Please subscribe to her channel as well @MountainAngelDiaries 🙏
They are very polite and kind.
Oh! She has the same birthday as me. June 8th
They are… she also has her own channel now, @MountainAngelDiaries. Please show her some support. Especially she is your bday twin😁
welcome brasil, =brazil <-)
The way Gel points at things or makes gestures has such an elegance to it
Wow… another thing that I didn’t notice until now
I can tell you that your Country looks like hawaii which is part of the u s
Bro where you from you could past for a Local from Hawaii.
From LA brah. I’ve been told that quite a few times. But never been to HI
Jill is a very beautiful girl, I can’t believe that she is such a busy child, she is really very kind, caring and smart. Derek, thank you for explaining to Jill to be careful with strangers, foreigners, and thank you for explaining the “sorry” thing to the boy. I only saw this movie partially, but I think you are a good man, I assure you that I will watch the movie again from beginning to end. A great man met wonderful children. Greetings to Jil and her family and friends, and greetings to Derek, Józef from Poland.❤
Thank you Josef. I have since helped her build her own channel and it is going very successfully
You can see that she is a very smart, pretty and nice person, it is worth helping such people, may life not be spoiled, thank you for your answer and warm greetings
Just amazing. Just wonder if Gel know America rule her country from 1898 till 1948. And set up their government. In only 50 yrs change The Philippines forever.
I’m sure she studied it in history class. Whether she retained the info or not. Is a different story
*what is her channel?*
@MountainAngelDiaries 🙏
You talk too much.
Ok jack…
That was a very good video I enjoyed Listen to it. She was such a Sweetheart
She also has her own channel now, @MountainAngelDiaries. Please support her channel
@Q Adventures hello there
Her expressions are gentle and not harsh as in most Americans. She’s really a cute kid, and they’re all really nice people. I wish the USA was more like that.
True feminism
She’s not being sarcastic you dolt. She’s being sweet and sincere.
Dolt??? Ok…
She has many qualities, caring, smart, pretty, wise, so unlike American girls.
She is, indeed, an Angel
Why do you lump all American girls into one type of person? Everyone is different. There are good and bad, even in the Philippines.
How about doing something really great and contacting one of the many NGOs in the Philippines to get that boy with the cleft palate a free operation? Operation Smile. Operation New Face, to name just two.
I conducted a separate video on Jesus and have attempted many attempts to contact the very organizations you have mentioned without success
What a gem of a child (smart, very kind, caring and maganda of course).
Dereck, you are an oustanding person and a very talented vlogger (topics, style of filming and video quality)
Big up! Maraming salamat po! 🌺☀❤from 🗼
Oh wow!!! Never been referred to as “talented” before. Thank you kindly…
@Q Adventures You are indeed my friend! It was such a pleasure to come accross your channel and video!
Take care always and carry on being such a great person. Merci!
Such amazing people
Now that is a good place that I can live in
That property is huge!
Yeah. Come chinese dude bought it and granted them safe passage, apparently
@Q Adventuresthat’s interesting.
This is the best video of the kids being kids, after the birthdays videos they changed. It’s like you broke the Enterprise’s directive and the innocent’s is gone. You left the Westernized culture because it’s awful but westerners who go there are bringing it to them and eventually the Philippines will lose it’s charm. This video captured something it brought me back to my childhood, the rest not so much because you began teaching how to be you and how to be a content creator. I think you should live with them and let them teach you instead of you teaching them. It’s not to say you can’t make their lives better by helping them build a better place to sleep. cook,etc.. If it were me? I’d help them make ecosystem’s within their natural ecosystem. Meaning tiering ponds, ponds that will filter water and yet is sustainable having fish and maybe prawns in there. Leave the West behind, it would suck for the Philippines to become a California.
Oh man…. that’s a great perspective. In hindsight, you are correct. I will be speaking on this on my livestream momentarily
I’m from Brazil and I’m an ambassador. I watch a lot of videos from the Philippines, such a rich country with such a poor population.
The greatest wealth is to have had a guide like JIL, may God enlighten her with many blessings, health, peace, prosperity and long life.
I’m sure she’ll be very successful with the vlog she creates.
Ambassador Celso
Wow!!! I have the attention of an ambassador. I am do grateful.
If I may ask for a small favor, Ambassador Celso, please share my video with your network of people. I would love to gain some viewership so I may contribute to humanity in greater scale. I would also love to visit Brazil in 2024
I hope this young girl reads this comment. You live in a paradise, please don’t ever consider moving to any large city in the United States, these cities are the most dangerous cities on earth. The violent crime against law abiding citizens is rampant and out of control. It’s literally a thirdworld murderhole and a miserable place to try to live. Your quality of life in rural Philippines is far far superior.
You are right I nso many ways. But society back home is living in denial and still get angered by my comments specifically for Los Angeles, where I’m from
@Q Adventures we are just 40 miles north of Atlanta, which is bad bad bad! Btw my wife is from Zamboanga City and just recently returned from her yearly trip to PI. I haven’t been in a few years. But I’m dying to get back!
@tonysouthdakotah6774 sounds like next time you decide to come back, it should be permanent
She’s really outgoing adorable ❤
So lovely
Omg this video is great !! She is a wonderful person!
These dudes should stop perving on young young girls it looks really bad 👎
To your perverted eyes, yes, I agree. To the locals, government officials and ambassadors, I get praises that matters. So why does your opinion matter again?
She will grow to gorgeous!!!
Wonderful, such sweet and genuine children!
Plus the beautiful surroundings.
I would like to see this brilliant young girl get the 1st class education that she obviously deserves. She is definitely a credit to the family that raised her.
What a lovely little 😇 angel
If you record the gun makers, and the government sees your video, don’t you think the government would arrest the gun makers, and your video would be the evidence used against them?
I was going to conceal their identity and mask their voice… precautions would have been taken
You shouldn’t tell them not to apologize. That is the culture. That is in fact the culture in many parts of the world. It is not a bad thing to say you’re sorry…don’t try to change the good things about the cultures of the world. Let them be!
It didn’t occur ro me at the time. Coming from a sales background, “I’m sorry” shows weakness, uncertainty, etc. But you have a good point. 🙏
I am from the Pacific Region where I’ve lived and worked for many years until I moved to Europe. Working in Africa, I have noticed a similar respect from certain cultures in many countries there. It is heartwarming.
Courtesy and respect is something we are losing / have lost in the States. 🙏🏼😔
@alexandercox421 understood. From my training and career in sales, old habits are hard ro change and I often don’t even take notice, it’s so second nature
i bet he is a child predator !
Derek I am totally impressed with you and your sincerity in wanting to help this girl and her family. I never give money to beggars, but will feed them no problem. This is the exception and I will gladly make a donation to help you purchase a computer for her.
John… let me please stop you. She has already received an iPhone and laptop shortly after this video was posted. She has since started her very successful channel from the donations that rolled in. She and her family has since been independent from me
