  • Great work! The delay may be a blessing. Good opportunity to build his mental and physical strength, as well as get the ball rolling with Social Security issues.
    He is looking better already.😊

  • Maybe prepare high calorie drinks. Drinks or shakes are the easiest way to put many calories in your body. Easier to digest too.

  • he is definitely doing much better, and mentally alert which is a very good thing. My heart goes out to this man, my way of looking at the situation is a little bit different than other people’s, I believe. Yes he did overstay his visa. But he had some very serious problems that happened, instead of judging anyone we first need to take everything into consideration, I just hope he can get back home to get the care he needs, and then returned to the Philippines to live the rest of his days out in a peaceful life. My hat goes off to that young lady who is taking care of Ken she is definitely a very good person. And I just wanted to put that out there God be with you young lady you deserve that you are a decent and kind human being,

    • I concur with you. He had the worst vovid lockdown requirements due to his age, the scams and falling off a bridge. That’s a lot for a, then, 77 or 78 yr old

  • His green card has expired. There’s a residency requirement to keep a green card. But he should be able to get his social security. I remember there’s a social security office in Manila.

    • Much bteer than when we 1st met, in my opinion. We’ll wait for the lab results and decide on the next health move

  • If you can get a confirmation to the US Social Security Administration that Ken is alive, they should pay his pension backdated to when it was suspended, I think that is the most important thing for Ken so that he is financially better off

    • @David Payne Ken has worked and lived in the US and paid US pension contributions, his pension has been suspended by the SSA because Ken has been unable to confirm he is still living due to his ill health

    • ​@davidpayne8413 US, he hasn’t lived in the UK for 34yrs. He has US social security payments He will also be entitled to a reduced UK state pension based on the time he worked in the UK before going to live in the US 34yrs ago,

  • We need a entire Ken series. Keep with him
    * i want you to understand how much this series is affecting your viewers. We really want to thank you.

  • I pray that he is fit to fly and it would be great if a YouTuber in England can update us on Ken when he’s gets back.. He seemed to really enjoy that bacon.

  • Thank God for people like you. My belief in the human race, needs restoration. I understand the hospital phobia. I don’t go to funerals.

    • @DS-xg9kf  spoken like a true athiest. Blaming GOD for the actions of every demonic possessed person creating he’ll on earth. Free will allows people to choose good or evil. Don’t blame GOD for the choices of the human race.

    • Joe Biden graduated law school and has served the American People for more than 4 decades including 2 terms as vice President and now as President .. He hasn’t been impeached , never gone bankrupt or conned the public and banks and taxpayers out of millions … Now , what is your accomplishment in life ??? Making stupid comments ????? Trolling ??? Pretending to be intelligent ??? Ya I thought so …..

    • Hey, he is a Welsh guy. Coal miner’s breed. Trench diggers. Where I live in Flanders, the WWI war cemeteries are full with young Welsh lads who went over the top.

  • Watching him eat, he doesn’t look so shaky anymore. Good to see him strengthening up. He appears more lucid too

    • Initially, Ken looked to me like a man who had given up, was resigned to his fate…..I think knowing that someone cares is almost as good a tonic as the better diet!!!

  • I thought they changed the SS benefits policy. If you are not a U.S. Citizen, you’re no longer eligible for SS benefits once you’re outside the U.S. but I could be wrong.

    • Only if you get SSI you can only be out of country for 30 days after that your SSI payments stop, SSDI and retirement social security you can live overseas for as long as you like, SSI is a gift from the government we’re SSDI and retirement social security you paid into and have the number of years you paid to qualify for those benefits, SSDI is just like retirement social security you have the number of years to qualify only you got sick or hurt before you reached retirement age, so the government feels you earned those benefits unlike SSI is a gift, you get if you become sick or hurt with out the proper number of years contributing to the social security system

  • Oh dear….I have just returned from the Philippines, I could have shoved Ken in my suitcase😂
    All joking apart it’s a very kind thing you are doing for him…well done.
    I do my bit to help the people in need when I’m in the Philippines. ❤

  • He’s looking a lot better physically and mentally. That’s great to see. Happy and relieved to hear your updates each time seeing Kens improving. Thanks for the regular updates. The smells of hospitals make me feel nauseous 🤢

  • The work required to correct/sort the overstay visa situation cannot possibly cost 100,000 pesos, its punishment, a way of making money for the PH government.

    • If you break the law, and it IS the law, then you pay the price, or penalty as Immigration term it, I was surprised that it wasn’t more to be honest, no country takes kindly to a foreigner abusing their status as a “guest”

  • Well done guys and thanks for helping him, I truly hope he can get home without to much hassle as feel hes story doent all ring true. But the main thing is to get him home

  • We all thank you for the help your giving Ken. This should be a wake up call to the older guys moving to the Philippines.

  • jrc visa very expensive do your research anything jrc visa can do you can do yourself ,it might take a little longer , but you will save a butt load of cash , they wanted $280 CAD to get me a 3500p visa extension….any one overstaying do not sweat it , all can be payed on your way out at the airport …all is costs is the arrears and 500p fine

  • Some channels are for entertainment purposes. You and your channel is making a difference. Thank you for stepping up for another and enriching Ken’s life.

  • Youre an amazing man brother. Im the same way as you at hospitals i get bad anxiety, so i know what youre talking about. If we had people like you throughout the world, we would all be in a bettet place. Thank you!

    • Respect to Derrick to speak up about his not feeling comfortable in a hospital. Many people cannot stand it. Also a reason why children often don’t visit their own parents in care centers.

  • Derek you are doing a great job organizing everything possible for ken. We can see what you’re made of. Compassion for other human beings is exactly what this crazy world needs! Thank You Derek and Ai

  • yes now plenty of vegetables and fruit and maybe some potatoes, the Welsh like lamb, he is looking much better i think maybe you have saved his life, but i don’t see him returning back there once he gets here, i know your not stupid but just to remind you to book for help i/e wheel chair to and from the plane when booking his ticket

    • We ALL are, that’s why I stopped wearing a watch, watching that second hand tick methodically around and around, knowing that every second that passed was one less second less to live…..kinda depressing.@House building in Mindanao

  • hi just noticed on two different occasions rats were running about maybe after kens bacon or tired of rice morning lunch dinner

    • Rats ???? Never been to Asia I guess. That was the house gecko. Every house has it. And you don’t kill it. Gecko’s hunt the critters.
      At night you hear their eh-oh eh-oh. Can drive you nuts 😅

    • Yeah they’re exceptionally noisy little buggers considering their diminutive size, apparently when they kick up a fuss it’s a sign you’re going to have a visitor!!!!@Wouter Gijs

  • The social security Administration sends a letter to the recipient of the social security benefits every year. The reason of the letter is to make sure that the recipient is still alive. If Ken did not respond in a timely manner, the benefits will be canceled and the benefit recipient will be considered dead.
    Ken needs to call the USA embassy in Manila and talk to the social security office in the Embassy. They will help him resolve the situation.
    God bless

  • DO NOT rely on the British Embassy/CG. Their main purpose is to further British (zionist) interests overseas and to sell weapons. If you lose your passport, you can get an emergency travel document but otherwise steer well clear. Worked for the FCO for over 25 years. Hope Ken gets home okay

  • Fantastic Derrick keep up the good work helping Ken
    Hope things are speeding up to get him back to UK. .

  • Has he got a UK passport? he won’t be allowed in the country without one .Even with a UK passport he will NOT be admitted to a British hospital on arrival. He will need to reestablish residence first, then register with a GP. Only emergency treatment will be available in the meantime at A+E departments (ER) where he would’ be triaged and sent away unless he has very serious illness that requires immediate admissions to hospital. Any ongoing chronic conditions will be addressed in a follow-up appointment with a GP. He won’t have a GP so no such referral can be made.
    He currently has no rights to medical treatment in the UK

  • Old Ken just wants his $998,28😂😂😂 awsome dude be must have some family or old friends will be good to hear from a family member or a friend of his to tell us a little bit about Ken.

  • Derek went outside of Hospital to have a Smoke🚬🚬👍 I see computer is working, was it bad RAM? God Bless Derek and Ai

  • God Bless you for helping this man. Glad you got JRC involved. I have heard they are the best. I pray it out works out for this man and he can get the help he needs and get well.

  • Many many people do late overstay paperwork. It gets done eventually. Time and money.. Go here to there.. Need 20 copies of this and that . yes a pain to get finished. Pay fine and all is ok eventually. Good luck.. You’ll all get it done. Some people are very knowledgeable on these things.. Now you will have this knowledge for future help.

  • Good Job Derek, get some Proteine shake for Ken, he will be strong in no time.Hohoho it is almost Christmas🎉🎉🎉

  • Applaud you big time. Healthchecks and fatten our welsh buddy up, in parrallel check on any visa constraints. Its the right approach

  • I’m a nutritionist :
    I can give vital details to improve Ken’s eyesight and muscle build up: he definitely has sarcopenia, and I’d like to elaborate on how best to I create his muscle synthesis; how can we connect ?

  • bro i love how you are helping this senior citizen much respect on a second note everytime i see your maganda girlfriend i wonder how you landed her hope not drugged her haha just joking brother

  • Ken looks much better and stronger. I wish I could help but I am unemployed myself. So I don’t have the means. But I am happy to see that he is progressing in the right direction.

  • I don’t know who J.R. exactly is, but if I ever have an immigration-related issue, that’s the guy/gal I will call. Thanks, J.R.

  • Yes, indeed Ken is in much more better shape. Very good update video and seems to be very optimistic. Every case is different and i hope he will be in the UK soon. You deserve my Sub Q , thank for helping him out. 🤓 ❤ 👍👍🙏👁

  • Ai gave up her favorite bacon for Ken shows how sweet she is. Ken has majorly overstayed and I Hope JRC can help as he is in a mess. All of your efforts are a godsend. I also pray that enough people can cut thru the bureaucracy and just get him on the plane. The Q community is with you Derek and Ai as Bernadetta is an Angel taking him in

  • Thank you for being so involved with helping Ken not only with getting him home but with maintaining his health. 💒🙏Blessings and prayers for a smooth transition😇💕

  • Sorry I go overseas I have insurance and a 2nd plan with your money 💵 don’t rely on anyone. South East Asia is full of people like this you can’t help every expat who has screwed up overseas 😢 !

  • Thank u very much for your kindness to help ken in his situation….pls. tell to those people who give food for ken to pls. give him a viand w/ soup like NILAGANG BABOY or TINOLANG MANOK w/c has a lot of nutrition than the one his eating at this video..he is 79 yrs old he need more soft food because he can’t bite well.

  • I’m glad it’s going to take over a month because Mr Kim needs to gain some weight away..Plus these thing’s take time..Good Luck with everything and as always Bless you and everyone that’s helping Mr.Ken❤🙏🏽👍🏽

  • Sorry to say that this guy seems like a low functioning sociopath. He’ll be in trouble again soon

    • Ken? i’m sure he is not terrorizing the streets of Cebu after dark.

    • @BrandSolutions  Not all sociopaths are violent criminals. Many low functioning sociopaths rush headlong into things without a plan. Seems like this guy was a misfit in his home country. More than likely, he had no friends there as well. This is the result of transplanting someone with a personality disorder to an entirely different culture. Low functioning sociopaths make poor expats.

  • Maybe you should help those homeless foreigners in the Philippines . Seen one from another blogger homeless foreigner from Australia but that never tried to help him.

    • @darlingdenez116 not to be mean but maybe the blogger that made the video on him should use the money from the video and help him. That is quite a common practice on YouTube where vloggers make content on the less fortunate and make money on the content but do not try to help the actual people who earned them the money. That’s why Derek is different because he actually helps the people better their situation but he cannot possibly help everyone.

  • The love care and bacon are visible in this video he is looking talking and smiling better- blessings to all who helped and especially you Sir and Bernadette

  • What are fees and penalties that Ken has to pay for the visa overstay penalties?
    I may be able to cover some of the costs since the exchange rate of the peso versus the USD is very easy for me in the us send a portion to help cover the fees and costs of the overstay penalty fees.
    Let me know if you need the help .
    From an average person who cares in America

    • @vrose6372 I think he said in the video the fees are over 100K pesos but they are trying to work out an arrangement and from what I know about Derek he won’t ask anyone for money. Although he appreciates everything everyone does nomatter how big or small I’ve never seen him ask. His PayPal info is linked and if you want to contribute and if you want your donation to go to ken you can just request that if you decide to donate.

  • Don’t worry Derek, we do understand there are a lot of unexpected and complicated stuff to face.
    Even if Ken looks a bit relieved and less worried, we still can see sadness and anxiety in his eyes.
    But he feels secured with you, more confident, and greatful. Thank you Derek and all the people helping you.

  • Just got back from Incheon early am. It’s good to hear Ken is getting closer to his much needed goal. You are a Godsend to him, and so many more.❤

  • We thank you for helping Ken if I can doing anything my end can pick him up at airport I’m live in wales near Cardiff if helps Ken regards nick

  • man i feel for this man you go out of your way to help i wondering who should be bashing u may god bless you man hope he gets through u have no control over the the situation

  • It’s never simple in the Philippines. It’s hard to believe that a person can’t just pay the late fees for overstay, and that they just keep you. Bernadette should have already gotten fruits and vegetables I would think, but maybe she needs a list. Good effort on Q’s part as he can only do with what he has to work with. Again PH is overly complicated on simplest things

    • I think the problem is the late fees are more than 100K pesos also Bernadette may not have money for fruits and vegetable don’t forget Ken has no income for now and if Derek gave her money and said it was for meat protein in their culture they are quite literal and she will probably only use those funds for what he said they are for.

    • I know about Ken’s $0 funds. And yes, in the Philippines you have to spell it out as there is not a lot of critical thinking there. And I thought he was only 3 months behind, 100k is an outrage.I would of taken a deportation as they may blacklist him anyway

  • Derek…I would first like to humbly aplogize for asking you “Why only girls?” a couple months ago…this video dispels all previous assumptions I had about your motives…you didn’t have to do this for this man but you took your time and resources to change his fate…so hard to find this level of magnanimity in a world where “I” and “Me” always comes first…big ups to what you do and thank you for letting this man head into his twilight with a sense of hope and dignity…👍👍👍 (Diamond Bar, CA reppin)

    • @dennisbyun big shoutout to you my friend for the apology, it’s one thing to look back and have a different opinion or realise you misread a situation in the past but something that’s hard to find today is people who come back and acknowl;edge it publicly. In my opinion a very stand up thing to do, so shout out to you my friend.

    • If you watch his very first video, Derek talks about, how he wanted to do some philanthropic work while in the Philippines

  • Brother YOU ARE AMAZING!
    what you are doing is NO SIMPLE TASK.
    Thanks for your kindness towards this older gentleman. GOD BLESS YOU & EVERYONE HELPING HIM ❤

  • I think that the one there in the PI that can expedite things is Congressman Ralph Tulfo. He has the most connections to get things done in a shorter timeframe. Just ask anyone there about him.

  • Very happy to hear so many people are helping Ken, still a long road ahead of course but things looked
    really bleak when we saw him in the first video, Ken definitely looks and I’m sure feels much better and
    he certainly enjoyed the heck out of that bacon 🙂 I have to respectfully disagree with you though when you told Ken not to thank you as nothing has been done yet, on the contrary you’ve done so much already !
    It was good to see Ken smile ! Let’s hope things move along faster than anticipated.

  • Thanks for the update and for taking care of him. Do update us with the results of the his tests at the hosptial.

  • Contact made yet with US Emvassy SS regarding his back benifits? That may be of huge help to him!

    Get some ENSURE cans of dietary supplement. Its fast acting nourishment.

  • I feel you brother, I don’t feel comfortable being in those areas. Hell any where with mass public puts me in a high stress feeling. Will pray for the situation, much praise to you for your patient’s and understanding.

  • You are doing a great job Derek, protein is exactly what Ken needs. I have spent the last 14 years working in aged care and learnt that the use of oral nutrition supplements can be a valuable addition to the nutritional management of an older person who is malnourished.

    One product that is easily available at Watsons, Lazada etc. is “Ensure Adult Powder Drink Supplement ”, a high-quality protein milk with Omega-3 and fatty acids, plus vitamins and antioxidants. This is probably the quickest way to get Ken to improve his health and body weight, maintain muscle mass, improve his immune system and digestion.

  • If Ken worked in the US, he contributed to a retirement plan thru his employer. Maybe a 401-K or similar plan. He may be owed some funds there.

  • Hola amigo, hope you and your girl are both doing well. Ken looks so much better thanks to you. He looks happier and looks hopeful. I’m really glad you ran in to him and decided to step in and help him. Was good to see an update on Ken, I’ve been thinking about him. Gracias amigo 🙏

  • Your an Angel God Bless you, but I don’t think ken takes it seriously enough that going back to UK there a long time process to get his $$ cus he messed it up the 1st time, then he want to go back to the to the phillapines, ken needs reality check 😇🙏

  • Your Doing a Great Job helping Him SSI stuff is a Nightmare I had to help my mom with it aswell and I’m a young guy like you aswell and its the run around here in the Uk and USA aswell So I feel Your pain Its gonna be a month or so until stuff gets fixed there like you say its a # game in the philippines way slower system then we use to haha… Thanks, For Everything Your Doing For Ken with helping him get fed the foods he needs and his medical needs..

  • Second time I saw this guy’s story, and it was a while back. I’m glad someone is really trying to do something, and not just doing this for views ….good job kababayan

  • New subscriber here. Salute to you, your wife and everyone else who are unselfishly helping Ken in the best way you could. More power to you and in everything you do! Take care of yourselves as well!

  • Really sad how older people are taken advantage of here when they are most vulnerable. So happy you helped this guy get on his way home and safe 🙏.

  • Derek you are a star, thank you so much for helping Ken, just to see him eating is great he has a lot of weight to put back on. I knew there would be a lot more to organise for him, and it would take a longer time due to all the red tape you have to go through. If he can get his American social security back he will be independent financially as they owe him money, pay his fine for overstaying his visa and cover his own air fare etc. He can give Bernadette money to, seeing as she has been feeding him, and allowing him to stay with her, and she has little money but kindness to have taken him in.
    Thank you to the people involved in getting him a medical check up, this will help to allow him to fly maybe some of is medical issues can be looked at while still in the Phillipines.
    The money he has in the UK will support him over there, London is expensive for accomodation, which he will require while getting medical attention which you can’t just get unless immediately, unless you are an emergency case generally.

  • Nice to see of the update of Ken. I’ve watched the couple of your past vlogs of him, very sad situation he’d gone through. It made me think how lucky most of us are. But life can be tough for others…no home, no food, no family, no friends, ending up in juvenile delinquents home to have a roof and food for himself (it’s beyond most people’s threshold limits)…bending some rules of a home for juvenile delinquents institution to accommodate a helpless soul isn’t that bad. It would not happen in the UK, but in the Philippines it does, that’s amazing flexibility the did. Never mind of the bowl of rice on and on and forever eating rice for a brit. It great Bernadette was there, so kind of her to accommodate him regardless. Who will do such acts without guarantee of down payment deposit these days? His case seemed so complicated, but you are a blessing to him to have given your time to take his burden. Not many have the heart and enduring patience to go through it for another person. May God bless you for taking your time to help him. I hope he will be able to get his social security pension, it will make a change to his dire condition in the Philippines. I’ve seen also your vlogs on other places / neighbouring sites near Dumaguete, really good. 👍

  • Did you remove my comment? Took me a long time to type that in and i don’t have another copy to repost for raffy tulfo or elsewhere. I was not asking for money i was only asking for advice because i have a similar situation to Ken.
    I included my email address is that why you deleted my comment?

  • Actually Derick, Ken is right to express his gratitude and thanking you for everything you’re doing to help him. The first step of his health status being checked is very important.

  • Regarding his social scurity, if he doesn’t fill out a SSA form 7612, his social security benefits will be suspended. That’s what happened to may father in law. He never received the form and his benefits stopped. My ather in law lives in the Philipiines and we had to contact the SSA through the US Embassy to get the form. Since there is a SSA office in the US Embassy, we just mailed it to the SSA address within the US Embassy. Once he fills out this form, he should get what is owed to him by SSA.

  • You are an absolute legend for helping Ken and the world needs more amazing people like you that go out of their way to help people who are doing it tough.

  • Thanks for helping my fellow citizen ,I live Philippines and it’s tough to survive with no money ,the people are very kind and generous,people will always help you here which is a great thing ,thanks again

  • Great 👌 Stuff Derek. All he needs now is some Black Pudding to build him up more. TY🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  • You re such an amazing person for helping Ken like that. God bless you😗 perfect timing. Now Ken needs to be updated always to keep his health maintain.

  • For JRC to step in and help pro bono shows their a class act. I will use them when I arrive early next year. Derek your a good man to help Ken. 👍

    • I will tell JR’s story. He came from nothing also and made himself to who he is now. He hasn’t forgotten his people and his community. It was a privilege to meet him for the 1st time.

    • Thanks to the support I get from my YouTube community. None of this is possible without my viewers and supporters.

  • All I can truthfully say to this guy and his girlfriend. Congratulations to you both for being truthful humans being your actions says it all. Ps. Make sure you taking him over the line.
    Thank you 🙏 both again

    • thank you for your validation. we are doing our best. but at the same time, human life and health is top priority.

  • The TV show Get smart had Agent Q
    The YT channel Q Adventures has Angel Q
    Derick, I hope your kindness brings you 1000 fold in good karma 🤞Ken is looking a lot better and importantly much happier

    • thank you Dave. On the contrary, I felt that I am not deserving of the success I have experienced in my life, being a dropout of high school sophomore year. I am just sharing my blessings and passing on the love

  • HE IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER AND VERY ENGAGING IN THE CONVERSATION, WOW, HOW CAN THIS GO ON FOR SUCH A LONG TIME , HE WAS ALMOST READY TO CROAKED, HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE MAN TOO, GOD IS GOOD TO GOOD PEOPLE, THANK YOU DEREK.

  • You are doing a Wonderful thing for Ken. And JRC is Great also. I will give Them all of My Visa Business in the future because of Their kindness to Ken. Tank You Again for having such a Kind Heart to Help Others.

  • If you think the UK are going to help they won’t help 6 month wait for hospital and many UK people homeless but if you’re illegal immigrate you will get free bed and breakfast true fact

  • I m glad you’re helping Ken with his enormous problems, hope everything goes well with him, more power to your channel and more subscribers

    • as i understand it, the pension is actively depositing to his UK bank account that he doesn’t have access to abroad. I have never been to the UK nor do i have any interest so i really don’t understand their system

  • Just get on the phone with Social security in the US and have him talk to them. That should be efficient enough to get his money started back up again. He has to give them his personal info and they will ask him many questions. But if he answers everything correctly he should have his income restarted. Good looking out Q. ✌🏻

  • Does any major newspaper in Manila and/or London have this story❓ It seems to be very newsworthy… It might apply just the right local international pressures to expedite the process ‼️

    • We need that!!! If you have any connections to bring attention to this, we need the help. I am just a little overwhelmed with running around solve Ken’s situations

    • We are doing all me can with so many supporters jumping on board. At the end of the day, human life and health is priorty.
