  • 6 billion people on planet earth. That’s 6 billion azz holes and 6 billion opinions. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

  • Well i guess the expats wanna see girls the prettier the better thats what i learned from watching this. Honestly your a great guy supporting the local community. ๐Ÿ˜Šโค

  • Very nice Derek. I must admit, i never thought the family would make it to Manila on their own and get a surgery.

    They seemed dazed snd confused. You pulled it off๐ŸŽ‰

  • Whoever does something successful, even if it is good for the community, will have haters. especially on the Internet. So negative comments and accusations you get from people who never do anything for others themselves. With such sayings they only excuse their own selfishness.
    Give a damn on such busybodies.
    Just keep on doing what you do in your way โ€ฆ.don’t apologize !๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ช

  • Most of us appreciate you are trying to help others, and are willing to assist where we can. So keep up the good work. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

  • No need to second guess Derek and Ai, they are as genuine and generous as it gets. Keep doing the work that brings happiness to your community!!

  • Derek! This temujinkhan as the name suggests, expects filipinas to wear a burkha on the beach!! He needs to be reminded that the Philippines is a Christian state, not the KSA!!!!

  • The way I see it is there are always negative people and they tend to see something wrong in things. Don’t let their negativity affect your content. When you were giving the college student a laptop and the others gifts from viewers you inserted a live disclaimer about your interaction with young females. Most of us do not have an inkling you would do anything unethical. I guess my point is resist letting a small minority of negative people ruin a touching moment again.

  • You just keep being you Derek and Ai as your Good people with kind and true Hearts with the purest of intentions even whe it doesn’t work out you keep trying in helping empower Filipinos as clearly evidenced by the growing crew. choosing to help the younger ones is a long haul process filled with mix of joys and sorrows but anyone who has followed you clearly know you go way above and beyond. oh and the pics weren’t provocative at all as there are many Filipina channels showing off allot more skin and playing to that angle and you have never gone in that direction, otherwise we’d see Ai in front of the camera in a bikini not taking tasteful pictures of young ladies in regular shorts and tops ๐Ÿ‘™..

  • Husband speaking age 81 plus. Last week I was just walking around our aria . A young man jogging and he comes up to me and asks, can you give me some advise? Wow, about what – he said anything. Ok. He was 21, in an apt. with his brother and works at a Ins. company. I said. donโ€™t smoke, drink or do any drugs and donโ€™t rush into anything like marriage. He said thanks and continued jogging.

  • Skyler..๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฅฐ happy happy news. Thank you 2 !! You all are doing a great work helping young ppl. More uoung girls then boys are in need of help. Thats just facts ! She WAS used and abused !! Thats what scammers do and it hit hard when your only 13 ! Keep on…your just doing good ! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

    I recommend following Derek, of
    Q Adventures. Because he and his Wife Ai do the difficult journey of running a business and helping others in need. As an entrepreneur, Derek goes out of his way to help others that are willing to help themselves that are less fortunate and/or absolutely stuck, feeling no Hope…. Or they just do not have what it takes, by themselves to create the opportunity to break free from true poverty/the cycle. This is where Derek and Ai make the effort themselves, with the help from viewers, to break that cycle. To help with education, jobs, entrepreneurship, certain personal issues, fixing Homes to keep the elements away, and other help that is truly needed. Everything they do is with Open Eyes, Hope, Faith, From Their Heart, and most importantly…, their believe.

    Derek and Ai, keep up the phenomenal work You do. I have not missed any of Your vlogs since I have been following You.

  • Having a Youtube-channel means you’ll get a ton of “shit”. It’s part of it, for anyone who does it. You can choose to fight it or talk about it, but please, just ignore it. Block people who don’t contribute to the good vibe you guys have and the work you do. It’s YOUR channel, treat it like your house.

  • You’re a good man Derek.
    I’ve watched all your videos from your beginning, but I rarely ever comment.
    Never, not one time – Never, have I seen nor heard anything negative, provocative nor in poor taste at your channel.
    Don’t worry about the negative.
    Keep doing what you’re doing, – and enjoy your life there.

  • Derek, Hasham’s comment is correct. There are the few that understand the thumb nail hook concept. Others see it as something to attack.

    Even though we only want the positive outlook. We need to see and read the dark side of the minds of certain people. Because there is a certain perspective from others that show their true colours. On the flip side of those negative commenters, it might show something we really don’t see or notice from an innocent perspective. There is always that perv. perspectives we don’t always realize…..

  • So happy to hear the news about Skylar – thank you so much Derek and Ai – so grateful for what you did for him. You most likely saved his life. Hope we can see the newest help – I have a niece named Carmella.

  • Derek, I have followed you from close to the start. I have always seen a very decent man with a lovely partner (Ai), looking after his own business at the same time building and making things better for his community. A very generous man 100%. Love your work. Please do not waste time on the trolls. Not worth the effort, brother. JIM

  • Listen, Derek, Brother in life, there will always be critics who will question someone’s intentions, don’t focus on how others view your intentions, you don’t have to answer to the critics, focus on all the good that you are doing, your reward will NEVER come from the critics, it will come from the feeling that just comes from doing the right thing! When you engage the critics, when you acknowledge them, then they bask in your misplaced attention; focus on doing what you are doing, and answer to your own conscience.

  • Have you considered applying for Philipino citizenship…maybe dual citizenship?
    Stay true to yourself, Bro. That’s why I subscribed and “Liked” ALL your videos I watched. You don’t need to justify yourself to hater.

    • Thank you Kavi. I am a permanent resident due to my business ownership and creating jobs for locals. Citizenship is next to impossible as I have no birth or cultural ties to the Philippines

  • By the way, when people focus on things like that, by questioning your intentions they try to mask or hide the intentions & inventions of their own corrupted minds and thoughts, don’t get sucked into that trap.

  • You are doing a great service to the community there Dereck who are generally poor, which have brighten the lives of the people of those you helpedโ€ฆ. We need more people like you in this worldโ€ฆโ€ฆ

  • ๐Ÿ‘ keep it real guy, we know what happens out there on the internet. Any body can post shit and get away with it. I know your heart and what you have been doing for the past two years. Having an open eyes and a soft heart. We see it.

  • Ur actions will always speak louder than any of the negative words or things said about u…its absolutely undeniable when we watch ur videos…i pray for u guys continual determination & drive too always make a positive difference in changing so many lives for the better

    u were definitely built to handle this work my man!!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

  • Its too bad people have to defend their good works and their ways of advertising or carrying out their good deeds. Yet people who put on excuse me, crap, people say yea good stuff sock it to them. Sorry you have to deal with this stuff. Take care.

  • When you get an uncalled for comment, just keep the reply simple..
    “”” THAT WAS AN INTERESTING COMMENT>>>>> THANKYOU FOR STOPPING BY””””

    Maybe the commenter was from Iran…
    One those dudes who wears the funny fluffy hats and has a big beard..
    I watch them all and throw in a thumbs up mate..

    Enjoy the weekend Bro..
    (From CDO)..

  • Can you please do a video telling the process to move to the Philippines for an American? This will help me and other people too I am sure. Also the process to start a business in the Philippines

  • Some people just look for something wrong with everything and if you search you will find. Also a lot people see your videos and think about situations with an American mind. I love your videos.

  • Use those haters as a measure of your success, the more haters you get the more successful YOU are. Trolls don’t go to small and insignificant channels, because all they want is attention and bigger channels is where they will get it, so having trolls means your channel is important and a success. Many of those leaving negative comments are doing so because they’re not happy in their own life and don’t want to see others happy, so they try to bring everyone else down, then they don’t have to put in the work to lift themselves up, when others lives are just as bad.

    So many are offended now-a-days by everything, ignore them, no one has to cater to their feelings, everyone is different and will have a different perspective, you can’t cater to everyone. If something bothers them, they can choose to get away from it and not try to force THEIR views onto others. I’ve stopped watching most ex-pat vloggers, it’s all the same thing over and over, the click bait thumbnails/titles (Such as sexual content/innuendos), and many now being sponsored by dating sites that are over run with scammers, which makes them just as guilty of scamming too because they are promoting it. I don’t watch those walking tour channels either because all they do is walk through impoverished areas, videoing those people without any interaction, and make money off those people’s despair. I watch yours because you do interact with the people and let’s us see the other side of those people, not just the poverty. Keep doing what you do and I’ll keep watching. I hope you and Ai have a wonderful day Boss.

  • Congratulations Derek and Ai, if you are getting Haters, you have risen to another level and please remember a dislike gives you the same amount of $$$ as a like does! ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  • Derek– people will say what they want. Your intentions are honest and transparent so nothing to regret. As for running a business, I have ran 3, sometimes you make calculated risks and the results come up short. That is life all in all but to be successful you have to sometimes take those chances. I appreciate what you do for the Philippines which is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people. Keep up the awesome work! Owen from South Carolina.

  • Derek, both you and Ai are always doing the best for the community and certain individuals, keep up the great work, I salute you both๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

    People, please donโ€™t forget to click the thumbs up (it helps the algorithm to get to a wider audience) and allow the ads to runโ€ฆ read the comments whilst theyโ€™re on, itโ€™s as easy as that๐Ÿ˜Š

  • Thanks for the update and keep doing what you’re doing. You are a kind and helpful person and deserve our support.

  • I’m one of the ones who hasn’t been watching as much. Not for any bad reason just having computer problems that mess with the internet connection. I’ve been getting a taste of what Philippines internet is like. lol I always enjoy your videos and will definitely do a marathon of the ones I missed when I get the issues straightened out. Don’t mind the haters. Their mind is stuck in western mentality.

  • Derek and Ai, pls do not worry about what folks say about anything you do my friend, as you have done a thousand times MORE than anyone, it is your life and your business, and you run and operate it as you wish.

  • Derek, thank you for addressing my concern. I want to reiterate that I never meant any hate or disrespect. I really appreciate your work, and itโ€™s clear to see the positive impact itโ€™s having. Iโ€™m sure that impact will only continue to grow.

    That said, I want to apologize if my comment came across as hateful or negative in any way, as that was never my intention. I’ve often encountered news about child abuse and similar disheartening cases, which has made me sensitive to these words. However, I understand and agree with you that perceptions vary, and you shouldnโ€™t feel restricted in your title choices based on how others might interpret them.

    I look forward to your future videos, and I really hope that when I visit the Philippines, we can meet and I could rent a car from you too!

  • its not simply negativity. there is no question that the shoulder straps were down on her top and the jean shorts were unbuttoned. thats swim attire? why you going to gaslight people about what you or your team chose as the thumbnail?

  • You should have done an update on your girlfriendโ€™s nieces who you had living with you. Let everyone know how ungrateful they were when you gave them a better life. Also an update on past people that you tried to help. That will bring in some views.

  • Their are always going to be people who complain. It makes them feel important, and they get some weird satisfaction from it. Don’t waste effort trying to please everyone. Watch for comments on how you can improve, and disregard the rest. Personally, I don’t watch your videos all the way through when their are sound issues, but I haven’t complained because I don’t know what equipment you use and have no solution to offer. Why complain, just to complain? I know you are aware of the problems and are probably already looking into solutions. My being critical just wouldn’t be productive. Look for feedback, which is basically solutions or suggestions that will improve something. I’ll add that when your starting to get haters it means you’re doing something right. Stay at it.

  • Sorry but it does benefit you. Gives you income to sustain your expat lifestyle. Youre the capital to start these business. You sound like used car salesman. Lol

  • The world at large has become highly sensitive. Social media exploits every facid of life around the world
