Your famous,nice guy approach no grooming here to see,all intentions are so honorable spread the wealth and fame,not hating just watch out for distant cousins with no serial number 45’s on scooters,after all that is what you went to find there
Really enjoying your vlogs in supporting the locals. You’re a very kind man Derek. The ingenuity in the way they repurpose materials is remarkable. Props to the father for supporting his family so well. Every member of that family have amazing smiles always on their faces. Safe travels Derek, Keep doing what you’re doing mate.
Wonderful video!
It is so awsome that everyone, young and old, seem to be so very friendly and wanting to talk. And not being as stressed as people can be in the big cities. One day I must visit some little mountain village in Philippines as well, to experience this for myself.
Derek the Boss Man … Are you Vietnamese or Chinese… For some reason in a previous video you mentioned you were Vietnamese… but in this video I heard you mention Chinese … great 👍🏿 update !
@Q Adventures it just means the World has appointed you to be its international Wisdom and Spiritual Ambassador… Tag … you’re it the chosen one!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😂😂😂😀😀
You’re a good man and thank you for giving insight into the Filipino way of life. I love it and cannot wait to retire to Bohol. Stay blessed my friend.
I’ll take you up on it. I started a business in Lapu-Lapu and looking to teach someone and pass it on to him/her so I can go live on the beach in bohol
@Q Adventures First stop is Calvin (Sunshine Shoulders) to shake his hand and thank him properly and yes, I’ll land in Cebu (from SFO) thank you for the invitation. 👍
Derek, you are such a kind and giving person. I just recently found your channel.
My first video was your encounter with Gel.
She is such an amazingly young lady.
Her English is VERY good.
Your kind nature will help her and her family for years to come in unseen ways.
Thank you for your kindness.
I LOVE the UK. my very 1st client is from London. 84 yr old with no scooter experience can straight to my house from the airport, rented my scooter (zero experience), and circled Bohol in 32 days. He made sure to send me short videos every other day to tell me how epic his trip was. Will NEVER forget
Mr Q nice videos
great you show the side of the Philipines that people often dont see
What aboudt Crime an stuff down there like that i want to visit i hear Money is kind an they dont trust Banks so want to know what too look out for before i travle for here inDanmark whare i leve we dont use money anymore its all Digital 96% of the time
can you not make a vedeo aboudt that so i am not getting mock as soon as i get out of the Airplaine ?
Crime like scams and honesty stuff. Violent crime is rare as I can see it. But I’m no expert. I am trying to do a docuseries type of videos on underground Philippines but the leader of a major gang here had a day job at the call.center. I think that pretty much speaks for itself
The Philippines is PROOF that poverty and crime are unrelated. As you can see from my videos, I am often in areas that you wouldn’t want to be in in any other countries. Of course, always be careful and do your due diligence. But the Philippines is safe. Little kids still walk around by themselves at 11pm
@Q Adventures then i will be prepering for a trip then an hope i survive hehe
when is not typhoon season down there i dont want to be blown away in that manner hehe
Great two part series you have a good heart. Keep up the great work, also Filipinos are some of the best craftsmen there is. Awesome looks like more parts are coming🤙🏽
About 2 or 3 more. 1 coming tomorrow that I hope will make you proud. Then she will have her own channel that I hope you will follow. She’s a star and it’s her benefit to reap in. Not a random dude like myself
Amazing family nothing wasted due to every thing having a value of some kind in there lives. The dress made from old plastic shown in all its glory by the future wearer. Much poverty in Philippines but every person has a huge smile and are proud of the little they have. Useful item is a wind up radio that can also be used as a torch and to charge mobile phones. I’ve gifted several to Filipino family’s and a few push bikes to bring a little joy and help in daily life having a way to know of future typhoons hiting there area is vital for safety and local radio give these weather reports out every morning. I chose wind up radios as no exspence of buying poor quality exsensive, batteries. Certainly made good use of my small gifts and the response was you would think I’ve give them the world.
you’re going to be a wonderful new addition to this loving family and you will make wonderful Uncle and godfather to the whole family, keep living and loving and spreading kindness ✨️. this is how we change the world🌎.
On the contrary… I will start to back off. We celebrated her birthday today and had a heart to heart with the parents. I found the goldmine in Gel and it’s not my benefit to sow. We talked about interest, cyber safety, etc for Gel to have her own channel to showcase her community and culture. Long story short, we are set up to have her own channel by mid July. Please keep up with the updates and help her grow her channel so she can be independent and financially support herself in he future endeavors. She’s a star and only she should reap the benefits. I will just play the role of mentor
Thank you, Bruce. I will only play mentor to her in starting her own channel. Only she should benefit from her stardom, not a random stranger like myself
Thanks for the update Derek! They say “an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” and it’s easy to see how GEL is the wonderful young lady that she is. What an amazing family! Us spoiled Americans could learn many lessons from these humble, caring, and creative people. I also appreciate your thoughtfulness in how you approach helping this family. Very kind indeed Sir! I simply can’t wait to see her reaction on her birthday when she finds out how your subscribers have embraced her and her family. We love you GEL!
Went back and watched the tour Angel gave you, anxiously awaiting the video of her birthday. Her parents picked the perfect name! Helping her with a computer for education is wonderful, if she does start vloging in English I am certain she will quickly surpass
Q adventures in subs LOL. She is very intelligent and hard working to maintain a high average in school, I hope you discuss her future post secondary ambitions.
Yes. I am passing the baton to her. She has internet at home now and will have her own channel mid July. I am in the process of getting her equipped and teaching her parents to keep her cyber safe. Will keep you all updated
thanks for following up Derek, much appreciate the update. what a great family, they deserve so much more. not skipping any ads, least I can do. looking forward to the next update! keep up the awesome work man and much appreciate what you’re doing for the family, she’s definitely an Angel. Peace!
Hi, we will be going there in the middle of July and we’d really like to meet you. We will be in Cebu for a couple of days, then off to San Carlos then Dumaguete, and back to Cebu.
@qadventures we will definitely contact you once we’re there, maybe meet up for dinner or something. I’m very interested in the scooter rental, and we’d definitely contact you for that!
I have to say the Filipinos are so polite friendly and very respectable people. I am amazed at how polite they are and very modest. Gel is a very beautiful young lady and has extremely great english. I love her smile and how concerned she is or was while touring there family farm. I would love to live there and be around such good people. I wish american kids were as respectable as Gel and her family are. That’s very kind of you to get the internet for them. I bet they will be very happy to have that. I used to raise pigs and the family pigs are very good looking animals well cared for. I’m anxious to see the video of her Gel’s birthday party and also their beauty pageant. It’s so great to meet such wonderful people. I appreciate how respectable you are with Gel’s family. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. God bless this is one of my favorite videos I have seen from the Philippines. Please tell Gel Happy Birthday from the USA she has a very bright future ahead of her.
Thank you for the support of my channel and speaking so respectfully and encouragingly. I have every intention to document all activities done with Gel and her family to share their psoitivities. In the modern age, we need families like Gel to inspire some hope
Props to your dad. It was war time, soldiers did what they had to to survive. But your dad, his job was to save lives and not injure, huge props to him
I came across your channel while waitng for our shuttle service then i saw that Angel in the mountain , and im mesmerized by her shes so wonderful . And that i end up subscribing to your channel to see more of Angel on your vlog
Too expensive and subpar quality. They refer to the Philippines as the dumping ground for American “toys”. But no worries, we have already purchased her laptop and I have a subscriber bringing it to me in early July. But if you want to support my channel and overall philanthropy efforts, I have a PayPal link in the description section. No amount of contribution is too small😊
The young man with the lip problem oh, there is a foundation out there that will operate on him for free to brighten his life. With your knowledge, Derek you could research and see if you could get him a operation. That would be a wonderful loving thing for you to do. And if it doesn’t work out maybe you could get donations to help that young man he has a long life ahead of him
It’s a great idea and gesture. I will screenshot this comment and make a short video discussing it in the coming days. Meanwhile, if you can forward me any links to help me research, I eill look at it. I am only 1 person afterall
Not necessarily. I love nature and philanthropy. I am on a Neverending journey to satisfy my own curiosities. Sometimes I am blessed to cross path with deserving people like Gel and I just want to contribute a little and try to articulate a good story for my viewers. I always wanted a daughter but only have 1 son. When I spontaneously crossed paths with Gel, I was instantly charmed
Hi Derek
I found your channel when you found Angel,
Not only is Angel a Star but you too…
Angel should have her own Youtube
Channel about Angels and her Family life…who knows it could become a successful channel just like yours and provide a little income towards College for the Kids…
@kevin Lee that is EXACTLY what I will be doing. Great minds think alike ey? I will be returning to her home on Wed to give her an older gopro and have home internet installed for her. 1 subscribe purchased a laptop for her that will arrive in July. But I told her and family I will mentor her on her channel. For her to showcase her community and lifestyles up in the mountain. And talk about her infamous city, etc
The father seem to be very hands-on – even when you have less, with good thinking and the right hands-on approach, you can achieve a lot for your family. Quite a difference to the Cebu family – I mean, her father there has a workshop. Enough spare material should be available there to make a room that is at least better than some cloth and scarf hanging around.
Also, I have to point it out: A beautiful family. Her sister. And her mother. Well, no wonder 🙂
Thank you for the input. However, I just wanted to point out the circumstances, up bringing and access to resources are very different between the 2. 🙏
@Q Adventures Okay I see. Then lets say it just felt that her father seemed much more proactive in these terms. But I dont know the background so much of course.
Anthony comes across as a very intelligent and industrious family man subsisting on a limited income but still ensuring that his lovely wife and children have a roof over their heads and food on the table, kudos to the guy, he must love them all very much because they all seem so very content. Will you be visiting the home of the grandparents too? I think that meeting the older generation would make excellent viewing. I would ask you Derek what is it you ultimately want to do for the family, but with your channel still in its infancy and subscriber numbers still rising I guess it is too early to make any promises of financial help collected from donations (or is it?).
@S I agree about Anthony 100%. On top of that, the man is honest. When asked a question he doesn’t know, he say so rather than bullshitting his way through.
And you are right. I am in the infancy. However… even if I was beyond success, I will never promise the family anything. The filipino culture is so nice and trusting that everything you say is held to the highest standards without margin for error. Anything I say, they will grow a reliance to it. And if something tragic was to happen to me, the family will be devastated in so many ways. I only offer mentorship and provide resources to them as they come. No afore mentions.
What a sweet, humble family. Im forever amazed by the kids here in the Philippines. Kind, smiling, and generous. You are doing a good thing for Gel and her family my friend. God bless you.
Hi Derek. I really have enjoyed your videos with Angel and her family. I would like to help with her birthday but I only have Remitly to send a donation. Do you have GCash? Let me know…Blessings to you..
New subscriber here. I can’t wait for her birthday video. I hope you planned a great birthday party for her. She said it’s gonna be her most memorable birthday celebration.
She said that because her community is pretty secluded with only 1 road in and out. It’s infamous for gunmakers, hence not much outsiders dare to come in. My subscribers have contributed enough to allow me to give her a memorable party. But it’s my responsibility to keep a balance and not be too extravagant, crossing the line to spoiling her and set unrealistic expectations
Mr. Derek sir, if you are in Danao, province of Cebu, then you must have heared what that place is famous for, guns,home made guns that even reach gangs in Southern California, accoding to a National Geographic feature on cable TV. Even the japanese gangs have harnessed this skill, when a direct flight from Osaka to Cebu City started back then they provided these craftsmen more modern tools and equipment, it is a cottage industry there, although clandestine.We in Metro Manila calls these home made guns”paltik” others call them “danao” their most popular product is a copy of the 5 shooter,.38 cal. snub nose detective special revolver and the 1911 .45 cal. pistol. This just came to my mind when you said that youre in Danao at the start of the video.
Too wonderful to be shared by this lone wolf. Will be passing on the baton to Gel to share her beautiful family, community and culture by mid July. Will update on my channel along the way
Gels father is doing his best for his family, carpentry skills awesome, some paint would be nice in the interior of the house😊, gel is a lovely young girl, bright and innocent 🙏
Vanity is not practical here, generally speaking (especially to this family). Anthony and I have great plans in place for the house but I don’t want it to spoil for Gel as she reads these comments
If that little girl had a YouTube channel I think she would do really well and could help her family.. she could also start a fund people can donate to fix her brothers lip.. Mike in the Philippines who died a while back had a donation thing going to fix kids with lips like that.. there might be a charitable organization in the Philippines that would do that operation free for the boy.. I enjoyed your letting us meet the family and see how they live.. I am from Southern Louisiana and I am a gun nut and I was hoping you would find the gun makers.. I do not think they would like to be filmed and I would understand that because what they are doing I would think is illegal.. thanks for another very enlightening video👍😎🤗
I believe the Bible saying is true.. give a person a fish and feed them for a day teach them how to fish and they feed themselves for the rest of their lives..👍👍
That’s nice of you. But that’s Gel’s neighbor, not brother. I am already working with 2 subscribers on this. Will do some videos in telling this story after Angel’s 2nd bday celebration on Saturday. 🙏
@Q Adventures thanks for your clarification sir.. I will still donate because I do not think any person should have to go through life with that burden especially a young man or anybody for that matter.. I think that those of us who can should step up to the plate and try to make it right 👍
I 100% subscribe to that. Hence, my involvement with Gel and Marylyn are long plays. I gave Eric a generous position within my circle but we had to cut the cord, sadly.
Thanks for sharing how these charming people live. Many of us who grew up in other countries with little resources identify with the thirtiness of the native people. Gel is a doll and quite intelligent . She has a bright future ahead of her. I predict she will find her way to the USA in the future and will do very well perhaps in College. She will be a positive addition to the USA as a citizen. Hopefully, no one takes advantage of her innocence. Her. Critical thinking skill of knowing the difference between’want’ and ‘needs’ will self protect in identifying danger. We should teach our young girls the same in the USA as frequently they don’t know the difference and understand only materialism. Good job.
Yes Jerome. I have the privilege of a beautiful and supportive community in this small corner of YouTube. The mechanics are already in motion. We are only celebrating Gel’s 12th bday today so she has a while to go. Follow her story
Love how this all came to be even though your really not so good at relating with locals so far video was great , I just wished you knew how to try some Tagalog instead of forcing locals to adjust to your language.
Nissan Sentra FB14 if they overhaul everything on that car it would be inexpensive and would give them many years. Really a reliable and solid car.
I would recommend a used engine, transmission, axles, spindles, control arms, shocks and springs. All used, and replace and service them as necessary.
Awesome family, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed these two videos.
Great video. I have lived in the Philippines and you have done a wonderful job of showing us the true beauty of the Philippines. This family is traditional yet true entrepreneurial in their pursuits. I wish for all these kids that they will honor everything that is good. Gel, seems to be on that path. Thank you for a wonderful video.
bro u have to adopt the filipino culture. you cant just come inside their house without being invited. i dont know where you are from but have manners. youre in a foreign country if you cant speak their language atleast have manners. dont treat them like that just bcoz they are poor. these people are adjusting just for you.
Bro!!! Bro!!! Chill man. You know I don’t turn the camera on the moment I arrive right? I’m telling you I am dyslexic and English is my 4th language right? I’m telling you my pinay teaches me Bisaya but I am not comfortable enough to speak it with the confidence to not offend people accidentally right? Chill man. I’m trying to do good. Let it go
i like her bubbly down to earth attitude. For a young girl, she already knows life and how to interact with anybody especially foreigners. She is polite and doesn’t discriminate towards mingling eith older people. I like her caring attitude and hospitality. It giives me goosebumps.. lolZzzz Americunnnt kids got no f*kn morals..haha ..Fil-am here grom killA KalifornicationZz 310
Very cool, very generous (and proper) to compensate Gel and her family for being your subjects. One suggestion, don’t talk so closely into the mic, your voice is way louder than anything else.
Did not know there was still kids like angel respect for elders from the young is very seldom seen these days and it was one of the first things I saw from angel and she is very kind and sweet
Another great video Derick~These kind people actually have a very nice and comfortable home.~I can’t hardly wait for Gels birthday party, she is such a sweet and very intelligent little girl~Thanks again Derick for all the great things you do for these humble people~Take care, William–USA
Such Great parents as her Dad Anthony is a Good Man as her mom is so Sweet and Angel deserves a Bright future as she has Charmed us All thanks to Derek as the Party was Fabulous as the whole community came out
Thank you Paul. And we can continue to help her grow just by the simple act of watching her upcoming channel. No different from watching any other programming on TV
I envy you, Derek. I don’t contribute to organised charities because we don’t really know if the money goes to the right people. I have always wanted to do what you did. You are so fortunate to find this lovely family in the middle of nowhere and do whatever you can to help. Good Karma will come your way.
Yes, Joseph. Many suggested that I register for a charity. I CAN NOT do that. If I do, I lose my freedom. I will have to pay salaries to accountants and employees, answer to board members, and can’t make quick decisions like I did with this family
She was very lucky for you to come into her life to become a fantastic mentor given your ethnic background you are perfect for her to be empathetic and protective. You are her guardian Angel. These are humble and REAL people living a simple life but enjoying things that are priceless that money can’t buy. You speak well to these people without being condescending like the typical ugly American. I am so glad you are helping Grl a true Angel and you are her Guardian( Angel) I enjoy your narrative You make me feel like I am there visiting without traveling great presentation. I find Vietnamese people fascinating and extremely smart. I met recently a youg Vietnamese doctor in Palm Beach, Florida. She was a quick study and handled the Emergency room with great expertise. I am a physician myself and was sorry to see her leave. She is married and left with her husband. It was our loss. She far exceeded all the other physicians in knowledge and skill like little Gel the second . Their last name was Vu. If you need a doctor and you see this name immediately get an appointment you would be fascinated.
SALAMAT ❤️ for sharing update , God bless 🕊️🙏if I may i bring my wife from Iloilo province for visiting family and build a free range chicken coop for rooster and hens 🐓🐔🐔 🐔🐔🐔 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 as gift for family prosperity to eat and sell …
Success in many ways. But not monetary. His margins a super low and he employs a few community members, including Jesus who has the clef even when his budget is not in his favor. He is a good man
Nobody knows what this guy Derek’s intentions are why do you think he’s hanging around a young girl in the Philippines it’s because you can marry a girl in the Philippines when they are as young as 12 years old with parents consent it’s a really messed up country
Her laptop was purchased and on the way. If you still like to contribute for other equipments like her future internet costs, microphones, etc so she can pursue her own channel, the link is provided above
Wow, those pigs live in crates in which they can’t even turn around, which is not even worth a comment from you. How much would it cost to make a pen so they can live somewhat normal lives instead of in hell? Your moral concern is limited.
Would insulated shipping containers be better to live in I know hard to transport but china has some as a flat pack that you can put together also do they pay any rent where home is
Thanks for a great video. I love to see foreigners being generous with the blessings that we have been so fortunate to have most of our lives. God bless you guys.
Nope!!! It’s a big city. One of financial hubs of the phils. If you have no business making money or noisy life, you better off in Nehros or Bohol Island
Hi Derek. I’m a new subscriber from Denmark and i have to say that I think you do a great job, helping the family. You seem like a good person with the heart on the right place. Thank you for that.
I love your videos so far as I have a filipina girlfriend in Laoag and want to learn as much of the culture that I can and in the same time avoid the tourist spots, which in my opinion doesn’t show the real Philippine.
Thank you for your support and welcome to my channel. I feel the same way. I am American and going to tourist spots here seem like I flew 8k miles to land in little America. Defeats the purpose
I hate seeing those pigs being treated like that. Especially the biggest one. It is an intelligent being. It cant even move. Guess there is no animal protections over there? Horrible.
you are a good man for helping these lovely folks, and may I add that ghel is a splitting image of her mom. i think this made a better story than the gun makers, but i will gladly watch if you get the chance to cover that story. great job and thanks for this wonderful journey with these beautiful people.
I misspoke. I meant to say the more advanced and more humane practices in the west is lacking here. I do understand the practice here still exist in certain parts of the west and not as visual
@Q Adventures personally I would suggest that it is far worse in supposedly more civilised countries because a farm could easily have several hundred of those farrowing crates. I am aware of a country with a building which house over 500,000 pigs caged indoors. At least your friend’s pigs get to see sunlight and fresh air. Billions don’t sadly
@Q Adventuresif things gets worse in Cali it’s my Plan B, but I might look into Tagaytay. I like the coconut groves, the down side is no running water or sewage. It would be cool to build rice terraces and aqua ecosystems. Introduce corn into the area? I know you miss tacos, burrito’s and tamales. Grow tomatoes and basil. Tme to make fusion food.
We’ll see. The US is garbage right now and the Trump team can fix the Biden hot mess. If not? I can claim dual citizenship.
This guy is ignorant exploiting this family and these guy’s are always doing stories about girls which tells alot of what they are interested in, and of course other YouTubers like it because they have the same perverted interest always females as though there’s no men to talk to. “No more talk”
I tried. Many unreturned messages. Email, calls, messenger… even stopped by the office in Manila, fell on deaf ears. Maybe the priority is to kids under 5 yrs

Way to go Q! Nice People!
how old is she?
@Regular Guy oki thought so you cant tell from aisians
@Regular Guy first time watching sorry
A nice place for the family, better built. Home. A three bed home. Who would need anything else.
Your famous,nice guy approach no grooming here to see,all intentions are so honorable spread the wealth and fame,not hating just watch out for distant cousins with no serial number 45’s on scooters,after all that is what you went to find there
Good looking out Jay. I promise you I have a pass to this community. Everyone there knows me by now
Updates 😊😊😊😊
Really enjoying your vlogs in supporting the locals. You’re a very kind man Derek. The ingenuity in the way they repurpose materials is remarkable. Props to the father for supporting his family so well. Every member of that family have amazing smiles always on their faces. Safe travels Derek, Keep doing what you’re doing mate.
Thank you for being so positive and encouraging 🙏❤️
longer!!!! im sat it ended so soon
Oh man. You’ll like the next one then. Just done with her bday today and it’s gonna be long
Man Q, you’re a nosy son of a gun. 😂 But this was a good video. Thanks!
It’s a cultural thing Cedric. My bad
Great work. Keep up the great content.
Gel made the 1st 1 soooo gooood. The pressure of matching the quality is intense. I will do my best…
this is what i’m waiting for…thank you derek!
My pleasure. More is coming and Gel will be a star in her own channel by mid July. Please tune in
Wonderful video!
It is so awsome that everyone, young and old, seem to be so very friendly and wanting to talk. And not being as stressed as people can be in the big cities. One day I must visit some little mountain village in Philippines as well, to experience this for myself.
Highly encourage it. But research your destination before committing as certain areas in Mindanao are still high risk
Love your videos. Great that you are helping out the people .
Thank you for your support. I love the long play and not just dump some money and have people try to figure it out
thumbs up Derek…its nice that you are going to help and bless that family. Angel is definitely an angel and she deserves to have a special birthday.
Twice!!!😜😁
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Thank you for the support 🙏
Great job on the tour of this very nice home.
This guy got it going on. Like the pig farm as well.
It’s the HOW that fascinated me, Eddy
@Q Adventures hard work
Derek the Boss Man … Are you Vietnamese or Chinese… For some reason in a previous video you mentioned you were Vietnamese… but in this video I heard you mention Chinese … great 👍🏿 update !
Born in Vietnam to Chinese parents. You tell me, bro. Sometimes it’s even too complicated for me
@Q Adventures it just means the World has appointed you to be its international Wisdom and Spiritual Ambassador… Tag … you’re it the chosen one!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😂😂😂😀😀
@Q Adventures >>> u actually could pass as a filipino
Thank you for video!
My pleasure. Thank you for your support of my channel
Such a nice family! Great video bro!
Look look out 5.7🙏
Looks like they live pretty good I live in Flint Michigan and it looks like they are living pretty well
That’s a great observation. But what I was intrigued with is their house is build from recycled materials along with how practical they are
You’re a good man and thank you for giving insight into the Filipino way of life. I love it and cannot wait to retire to Bohol. Stay blessed my friend.
Ah!!! Bohol… maybe we will be neighbors
Im 58 now so 4 more years and yes I would love to meet you then and we can collaborate on helping some more families out.
I’ll take you up on it. I started a business in Lapu-Lapu and looking to teach someone and pass it on to him/her so I can go live on the beach in bohol
Sounds great my friend
How can one not smile when meeting this lovely young lady and her family.
@Q Adventures My God Sir, you really have found paradise. Cant wait to get out of USA = June 2024
If you end in cebu, be sure to look me up😊
@Q Adventures First stop is Calvin (Sunshine Shoulders) to shake his hand and thank him properly and yes, I’ll land in Cebu (from SFO) thank you for the invitation. 👍
My pleasure. Calvin is often here in Cebu. I have the privilege of helping him set up his meet and greets in cebu here.
And I get a lot of my ideas of community and philanthropy from Calvin
Great work sir,,,,,,,,
Thank you for the support🙏
Love it man
It’s humbling, so yeah, I love it too
Q, I was waiting on this follow up. She has made an impression on me, what a kind soul!
Your kindness is infectious, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your support, Shawn. I will do my part, for sure😇
God bless you and this family.
God bless this channel to create more funds for help I pray !
Derek, you are such a kind and giving person. I just recently found your channel.
My first video was your encounter with Gel.
She is such an amazingly young lady.
Her English is VERY good.
Your kind nature will help her and her family for years to come in unseen ways.
Thank you for your kindness.
My pleasure. Please follow my updates in regards to Gel. She will have her own channel in mid July as a way to help her family. I hope you tune in
Wow we’re a fan, your the boss, UK fans here
I LOVE the UK. my very 1st client is from London. 84 yr old with no scooter experience can straight to my house from the airport, rented my scooter (zero experience), and circled Bohol in 32 days. He made sure to send me short videos every other day to tell me how epic his trip was. Will NEVER forget
Mr Q nice videos
great you show the side of the Philipines that people often dont see
What aboudt Crime an stuff down there like that i want to visit i hear Money is kind an they dont trust Banks so want to know what too look out for before i travle for here inDanmark whare i leve we dont use money anymore its all Digital 96% of the time
can you not make a vedeo aboudt that so i am not getting mock as soon as i get out of the Airplaine ?
Aurora why not offer your self a tour guide 🤣😂
Crime like scams and honesty stuff. Violent crime is rare as I can see it. But I’m no expert. I am trying to do a docuseries type of videos on underground Philippines but the leader of a major gang here had a day job at the call.center. I think that pretty much speaks for itself
I agree 100%. Thank you for the contribution
The Philippines is PROOF that poverty and crime are unrelated. As you can see from my videos, I am often in areas that you wouldn’t want to be in in any other countries. Of course, always be careful and do your due diligence. But the Philippines is safe. Little kids still walk around by themselves at 11pm
@Q Adventures then i will be prepering for a trip then an hope i survive hehe
when is not typhoon season down there i dont want to be blown away in that manner hehe
Great two part series you have a good heart. Keep up the great work, also Filipinos are some of the best craftsmen there is. Awesome looks like more parts are coming🤙🏽
About 2 or 3 more. 1 coming tomorrow that I hope will make you proud. Then she will have her own channel that I hope you will follow. She’s a star and it’s her benefit to reap in. Not a random dude like myself
I cannot wait for yours and her content, I’ll definitely subscribe. And BTW I’m blessed to have ran into your channel.
Thank you. I appreciate you
Sir I want to follow ur footstep 👣 your a trail blazer
I encourage you to. Within your own abilities, whatever that may be, of course
Amazing family nothing wasted due to every thing having a value of some kind in there lives. The dress made from old plastic shown in all its glory by the future wearer. Much poverty in Philippines but every person has a huge smile and are proud of the little they have. Useful item is a wind up radio that can also be used as a torch and to charge mobile phones. I’ve gifted several to Filipino family’s and a few push bikes to bring a little joy and help in daily life having a way to know of future typhoons hiting there area is vital for safety and local radio give these weather reports out every morning. I chose wind up radios as no exspence of buying poor quality exsensive, batteries. Certainly made good use of my small gifts and the response was you would think I’ve give them the world.
Fellow philanthropist. Good job 👍😊
crate box 📦 materials from shipping and they use it so wisely… Bravo 👏
Ingenious
This little girl has a bright future ahead of her. She is wonderfully energetic and friendly young lady, with an exceptional outgoing personality.
Her personal is coming mid July. Please support her. Meanwhile tune in for more updates
@Q Adventures keep on doing what you are doing. You have the right personality for people who need support and encouragement.
She gonna be a super stars she is very smart her good personality everybody would wanna be her friends, good job little girl, keep up the good work👍👍
Unless she doesn’t stop eating junk food, then she’ll get diabetes and obesity.
Nice Derek ❤
🙏thank you for the support
you’re going to be a wonderful new addition to this loving family and you will make wonderful Uncle and godfather to the whole family, keep living and loving and spreading kindness ✨️. this is how we change the world🌎.
Couldntve have said it any better!!!!
On the contrary… I will start to back off. We celebrated her birthday today and had a heart to heart with the parents. I found the goldmine in Gel and it’s not my benefit to sow. We talked about interest, cyber safety, etc for Gel to have her own channel to showcase her community and culture. Long story short, we are set up to have her own channel by mid July. Please keep up with the updates and help her grow her channel so she can be independent and financially support herself in he future endeavors. She’s a star and only she should reap the benefits. I will just play the role of mentor
Thank you, Bruce. I will only play mentor to her in starting her own channel. Only she should benefit from her stardom, not a random stranger like myself
@Q Adventures being a mentor is a wonderful fit
Thanks for the update Derek! They say “an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” and it’s easy to see how GEL is the wonderful young lady that she is. What an amazing family! Us spoiled Americans could learn many lessons from these humble, caring, and creative people. I also appreciate your thoughtfulness in how you approach helping this family. Very kind indeed Sir! I simply can’t wait to see her reaction on her birthday when she finds out how your subscribers have embraced her and her family. We love you GEL!
Just her knowing the difference between “want” and “need” won my heart!!!!!
AMEN 🙏🕊️💎
Thanks!
One Love, brother!!!
She’s a real celebrity now and we want to see more from her.
You should open a YouTube channel for her ❤
Way ahead of you bro. Coming mid July. Keep up with my updates
Went back and watched the tour Angel gave you, anxiously awaiting the video of her birthday. Her parents picked the perfect name! Helping her with a computer for education is wonderful, if she does start vloging in English I am certain she will quickly surpass
Q adventures in subs LOL. She is very intelligent and hard working to maintain a high average in school, I hope you discuss her future post secondary ambitions.
Just finished with the celebration. Will work on the video 1st thing in the morning and upload instantly
Wow wonderful family and friends and community I like …… Thanks Derek and Gel and family and friends.
Isn’t it mind blowing that great and peaceful communities still exist in this world?
You’ve found your niche and a young charming little sweetheart Brother! Take good care of them and make it an episode of your channel please.
Yes. I am passing the baton to her. She has internet at home now and will have her own channel mid July. I am in the process of getting her equipped and teaching her parents to keep her cyber safe. Will keep you all updated
Gel is amazing. I hope to meet her some day she’s an amazing beautiful young lady
thanks for following up Derek, much appreciate the update. what a great family, they deserve so much more. not skipping any ads, least I can do. looking forward to the next update! keep up the awesome work man and much appreciate what you’re doing for the family, she’s definitely an Angel. Peace!
You tuning in is more than I can ask for. One Love brother!!!
What a great video and amazing family. Thanks for sharing Derek.
My pleasure, John. Thank you for your continued support of my channel
Hi, we will be going there in the middle of July and we’d really like to meet you. We will be in Cebu for a couple of days, then off to San Carlos then Dumaguete, and back to Cebu.
Absolutely!!! I also offer accommodation within my home if you need it. Also scooter rental is available without milage nor geographic restrictions
@qadventures we will definitely contact you once we’re there, maybe meet up for dinner or something. I’m very interested in the scooter rental, and we’d definitely contact you for that!
Great video!!!
What a nice family and great young lady Gel she’s a star and Bro so much respect for you for helping this awesome family
Nah. It’s a privilege that they allow me into their circle. Just happy that I am able to share this raw experience with you all.❤️
Awkward, all in them people personal space !
My assumption is that you have never visited the Philippines. They were everything BUT awkward
I have to say the Filipinos are so polite friendly and very respectable people. I am amazed at how polite they are and very modest. Gel is a very beautiful young lady and has extremely great english. I love her smile and how concerned she is or was while touring there family farm. I would love to live there and be around such good people. I wish american kids were as respectable as Gel and her family are. That’s very kind of you to get the internet for them. I bet they will be very happy to have that. I used to raise pigs and the family pigs are very good looking animals well cared for. I’m anxious to see the video of her Gel’s birthday party and also their beauty pageant. It’s so great to meet such wonderful people. I appreciate how respectable you are with Gel’s family. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. God bless this is one of my favorite videos I have seen from the Philippines. Please tell Gel Happy Birthday from the USA she has a very bright future ahead of her.
Thank you for the support of my channel and speaking so respectfully and encouragingly. I have every intention to document all activities done with Gel and her family to share their psoitivities. In the modern age, we need families like Gel to inspire some hope
@Q Adventures very much appreciated amazing family God bless
Derek you are a wonderful person. My dream is to get to the Philippines for retirement. I hope to meet you one day you do wonderful things for people
Bring it, Jeffrey!!! 😁 I welcome every opportunity to meet a sub. I’ll even make you a coffee
I added a bunch of similar vlogs to my list called – Somewhere in the Philippines
Cool man. I’ll check it out when I have some time to sit down
All made in China – shi shi I’m learning Tagalog as well
Hahaha!!! Better you than me. English was my 4th language and my brain says “no mass”🤣
My dad was a medic in Vietnam he never hurt nobody but it was like a nightmare in his past he saved some Vietnamese as well ❤️🩹
Props to your dad. It was war time, soldiers did what they had to to survive. But your dad, his job was to save lives and not injure, huge props to him
I’m going to menila Philippines on cheap plane probably allegiant air Philippines air is more expensive
You’re way north of me brah. If you ever come this way to Cebu, you look me up
Niihau mo 🥢🫖
Great!!! Thank you for your support
Sounded like he said onion ring in Chinese 😂
Awwee… I missed that 1 bro😜
I came across your channel while waitng for our shuttle service then i saw that Angel in the mountain , and im mesmerized by her shes so wonderful . And that i end up subscribing to your channel to see more of Angel on your vlog
Wow!!! What a to find my channel. Thank you for giving my channel a chance, Hilario❤️😇😊
❤
shout out kuya anthony😊
Kuya Anthony is too good. What a sweet man
How much is a laptop in the Philippines?
Too expensive and subpar quality. They refer to the Philippines as the dumping ground for American “toys”. But no worries, we have already purchased her laptop and I have a subscriber bringing it to me in early July. But if you want to support my channel and overall philanthropy efforts, I have a PayPal link in the description section. No amount of contribution is too small😊
The young man with the lip problem oh, there is a foundation out there that will operate on him for free to brighten his life. With your knowledge, Derek you could research and see if you could get him a operation. That would be a wonderful loving thing for you to do. And if it doesn’t work out maybe you could get donations to help that young man he has a long life ahead of him
It’s a great idea and gesture. I will screenshot this comment and make a short video discussing it in the coming days. Meanwhile, if you can forward me any links to help me research, I eill look at it. I am only 1 person afterall
@Q AdventuresSmile Train does the surgery. He should have a gofundme but the money must go for the surgery.
It seems you want to be a charitable vlogger to help this girl
Not necessarily. I love nature and philanthropy. I am on a Neverending journey to satisfy my own curiosities. Sometimes I am blessed to cross path with deserving people like Gel and I just want to contribute a little and try to articulate a good story for my viewers. I always wanted a daughter but only have 1 son. When I spontaneously crossed paths with Gel, I was instantly charmed
Thanks for the update with gel and family. Great job.
My pleasure, Robbie. And thank you for continuing to support my channel
Where do they get electricity from? Is it supplied by a generator?
That, I don’t know, cliff. Good question
Y’all some perverts.
Are you cia agent becareful your step her you investigate the house ofyoung lady angel
That’s quite an imagination you have
If you investigate gun made not on the mountain it is from the city of danao okey
Hi Derek
I found your channel when you found Angel,
Not only is Angel a Star but you too…
Angel should have her own Youtube
Channel about Angels and her Family life…who knows it could become a successful channel just like yours and provide a little income towards College for the Kids…
@kevin Lee that is EXACTLY what I will be doing. Great minds think alike ey? I will be returning to her home on Wed to give her an older gopro and have home internet installed for her. 1 subscribe purchased a laptop for her that will arrive in July. But I told her and family I will mentor her on her channel. For her to showcase her community and lifestyles up in the mountain. And talk about her infamous city, etc
Is there a place to message you privately about Thursday’s event, somewhere where Gel won’t see?
Yes. All my contact info is in my description section of my channel
Very generous donation brother!
It needed to be done
Thank you Derek, we love you bro!
We will support you all the way!
You got my love back❤️ thanks for the positive
The father seem to be very hands-on – even when you have less, with good thinking and the right hands-on approach, you can achieve a lot for your family. Quite a difference to the Cebu family – I mean, her father there has a workshop. Enough spare material should be available there to make a room that is at least better than some cloth and scarf hanging around.
Also, I have to point it out: A beautiful family. Her sister. And her mother. Well, no wonder 🙂
Thank you for the input. However, I just wanted to point out the circumstances, up bringing and access to resources are very different between the 2. 🙏
@Q Adventures Okay I see. Then lets say it just felt that her father seemed much more proactive in these terms. But I dont know the background so much of course.
Anthony comes across as a very intelligent and industrious family man subsisting on a limited income but still ensuring that his lovely wife and children have a roof over their heads and food on the table, kudos to the guy, he must love them all very much because they all seem so very content. Will you be visiting the home of the grandparents too? I think that meeting the older generation would make excellent viewing. I would ask you Derek what is it you ultimately want to do for the family, but with your channel still in its infancy and subscriber numbers still rising I guess it is too early to make any promises of financial help collected from donations (or is it?).
@S I agree about Anthony 100%. On top of that, the man is honest. When asked a question he doesn’t know, he say so rather than bullshitting his way through.
And you are right. I am in the infancy. However… even if I was beyond success, I will never promise the family anything. The filipino culture is so nice and trusting that everything you say is held to the highest standards without margin for error. Anything I say, they will grow a reliance to it. And if something tragic was to happen to me, the family will be devastated in so many ways. I only offer mentorship and provide resources to them as they come. No afore mentions.
Gel is amazing. How old is she?
She’s turning 12 in a few days.
The plywood is from shipping containers. The tea imported comes in small 3ftx3ft ply boxes
Thank you for that. Gives me more perspective
What a sweet, humble family. Im forever amazed by the kids here in the Philippines. Kind, smiling, and generous. You are doing a good thing for Gel and her family my friend. God bless you.
I was already blessed by having the opportunity to interact with Gel. She’s amazing
@Q Adventures yes she is. Reminds me of my step daughter. Thoughtful and mature thinking beyond her years.
Hi Derek. I really have enjoyed your videos with Angel and her family. I would like to help with her birthday but I only have Remitly to send a donation. Do you have GCash? Let me know…Blessings to you..
Sorry, I don’t. Don’t worry about it. I appreciate the thought. You are contributing just by watching my content😇
I contributed via ‘buy me coffee ‘ donation ❤️ Hope it helps 😊 Keep doing what you do. Definitely doing much good ❤
New subscriber here. I can’t wait for her birthday video. I hope you planned a great birthday party for her. She said it’s gonna be her most memorable birthday celebration.
She said that because her community is pretty secluded with only 1 road in and out. It’s infamous for gunmakers, hence not much outsiders dare to come in. My subscribers have contributed enough to allow me to give her a memorable party. But it’s my responsibility to keep a balance and not be too extravagant, crossing the line to spoiling her and set unrealistic expectations
Being born & raised in Laguna Province in Luzon, I’ve seen this kind of scenery many times before.
Yes. It’s a common scene all over the Philippines. But the people and culture is the showcase
Mr. Derek sir, if you are in Danao, province of Cebu, then you must have heared what that place is famous for, guns,home made guns that even reach gangs in Southern California, accoding to a National Geographic feature on cable TV. Even the japanese gangs have harnessed this skill, when a direct flight from Osaka to Cebu City started back then they provided these craftsmen more modern tools and equipment, it is a cottage industry there, although clandestine.We in Metro Manila calls these home made guns”paltik” others call them “danao” their most popular product is a copy of the 5 shooter,.38 cal. snub nose detective special revolver and the 1911 .45 cal. pistol. This just came to my mind when you said that youre in Danao at the start of the video.
Yes I have. I appreciate the history
Man, Angel has a future! Such an angelic kid🤗
100%. I got her back with a growing youtube community contributing.
WHAT’S JILL CHANNEL NAME?
I’ll make sure to announce it when it’s up and going
What a beautiful light that shines from this sweet girl, and a wonderful family.
Too wonderful to be shared by this lone wolf. Will be passing on the baton to Gel to share her beautiful family, community and culture by mid July. Will update on my channel along the way
Aww nice update. Do quick too. Sweet family. I love this. I can’t wait until your next video with them.
Her bday dinner coming tomorrow
Gels father is doing his best for his family, carpentry skills awesome, some paint would be nice in the interior of the house😊, gel is a lovely young girl, bright and innocent 🙏
Vanity is not practical here, generally speaking (especially to this family). Anthony and I have great plans in place for the house but I don’t want it to spoil for Gel as she reads these comments
love the video!!!!!!1
Angel was properly named by her parents. Am just glad I had the opportunity to participate ❤️
If that little girl had a YouTube channel I think she would do really well and could help her family.. she could also start a fund people can donate to fix her brothers lip.. Mike in the Philippines who died a while back had a donation thing going to fix kids with lips like that.. there might be a charitable organization in the Philippines that would do that operation free for the boy.. I enjoyed your letting us meet the family and see how they live.. I am from Southern Louisiana and I am a gun nut and I was hoping you would find the gun makers.. I do not think they would like to be filmed and I would understand that because what they are doing I would think is illegal.. thanks for another very enlightening video👍😎🤗
I believe the Bible saying is true.. give a person a fish and feed them for a day teach them how to fish and they feed themselves for the rest of their lives..👍👍
That’s nice of you. But that’s Gel’s neighbor, not brother. I am already working with 2 subscribers on this. Will do some videos in telling this story after Angel’s 2nd bday celebration on Saturday. 🙏
@Q Adventures thanks for your clarification sir.. I will still donate because I do not think any person should have to go through life with that burden especially a young man or anybody for that matter.. I think that those of us who can should step up to the plate and try to make it right 👍
I 100% subscribe to that. Hence, my involvement with Gel and Marylyn are long plays. I gave Eric a generous position within my circle but we had to cut the cord, sadly.
We are actively working with her to develop her own channel. I should be up and running by mid July. I will announce on my channel
Thanks for sharing how these charming people live. Many of us who grew up in other countries with little resources identify with the thirtiness of the native people. Gel is a doll and quite intelligent . She has a bright future ahead of her. I predict she will find her way to the USA in the future and will do very well perhaps in College. She will be a positive addition to the USA as a citizen. Hopefully, no one takes advantage of her innocence. Her. Critical thinking skill of knowing the difference between’want’ and ‘needs’ will self protect in identifying danger. We should teach our young girls the same in the USA as frequently they don’t know the difference and understand only materialism. Good job.
Yes Jerome. I have the privilege of a beautiful and supportive community in this small corner of YouTube. The mechanics are already in motion. We are only celebrating Gel’s 12th bday today so she has a while to go. Follow her story
Actually you are intruding peoples privacy, no pun intended!
It went way over my head with that one. I thought I was invited in
It’s not only her spoken English. It’s her comprehension
Great observation
New subscriber for Gel.
From North East India.
India in the house!!! Thank you
Love how this all came to be even though your really not so good at relating with locals so far video was great , I just wished you knew how to try some Tagalog instead of forcing locals to adjust to your language.
They speak Bisaya there but I get your point. However, English is my 4 language and Spanish being my 5th, I’m languaged out. My brain says no more
I say help that poor red shirt guy with the cleft lip !
Working on it. Taking photos to medical professionals to consult 1st
Waiting for the Birthday!
1:21am and working on the editing. I know lots are waiting
@Q Adventures ; )
Sehr schönes Video und sehr gute, klare englische Aussprache. Dazu hast du Humor und bist sehr wortgewandt. Weiter so!
Thank you Germany!!! I appreciate your support
Nissan Sentra FB14 if they overhaul everything on that car it would be inexpensive and would give them many years. Really a reliable and solid car.
I would recommend a used engine, transmission, axles, spindles, control arms, shocks and springs. All used, and replace and service them as necessary.
Awesome family, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed these two videos.
More to come. And she will have her own channel in mid July. I hope we can earn your support there also so she can be independent
Those plywood where probably used boxes and flattened. Yes ingenious recycle of materials. Great job.
Great video. I have lived in the Philippines and you have done a wonderful job of showing us the true beauty of the Philippines. This family is traditional yet true entrepreneurial in their pursuits. I wish for all these kids that they will honor everything that is good. Gel, seems to be on that path. Thank you for a wonderful video.
My pleasure in sharing and thank you for the support
That is awesome work. THANKS
bro u have to adopt the filipino culture. you cant just come inside their house without being invited. i dont know where you are from but have manners. youre in a foreign country if you cant speak their language atleast have manners. dont treat them like that just bcoz they are poor. these people are adjusting just for you.
Bro!!! Bro!!! Chill man. You know I don’t turn the camera on the moment I arrive right? I’m telling you I am dyslexic and English is my 4th language right? I’m telling you my pinay teaches me Bisaya but I am not comfortable enough to speak it with the confidence to not offend people accidentally right? Chill man. I’m trying to do good. Let it go
i like her bubbly down to earth attitude. For a young girl, she already knows life and how to interact with anybody especially foreigners. She is polite and doesn’t discriminate towards mingling eith older people. I like her caring attitude and hospitality. It giives me goosebumps.. lolZzzz Americunnnt kids got no f*kn morals..haha ..Fil-am here grom killA KalifornicationZz 310
Well said, neighbor…
sorry too many typos.. i forgot my eyeglass..i am seeing doubles…lol
Very cool, very generous (and proper) to compensate Gel and her family for being your subjects. One suggestion, don’t talk so closely into the mic, your voice is way louder than anything else.
Noted and thank you
Love the simple house
Very practical
For real? Ur looking for “ under ground “ gun makers? Why not some heroine too?
You do you, and I do me
Looks like the whole family has good DNA. Miss Angel looks like her mother and the father is intelligent, speaks good English.
Sounded like my idol manny
The father has a great sense of humor also. Grown kid like me
Ah!!! The celebrity of the show!!!
@Q Adventures Bro you did a good job! I just heard of you.
Ayo…. Angel and friends…. such nice people….. watching from Tagaytay City
Shout out Tagaytay!!! Spread the words. We have a local star in the making!!!
I can see where that little girl gets her good looks. Her mother is gorgeous
Did not know there was still kids like angel respect for elders from the young is very seldom seen these days and it was one of the first things I saw from angel and she is very kind and sweet
Yes. I am am still amused every time I see
I will be one of her first subscribers when she starts her YouTube journey for sure
She’s a cutie and very intelligent. I wish her all the best of success.
Another great video Derick~These kind people actually have a very nice and comfortable home.~I can’t hardly wait for Gels birthday party, she is such a sweet and very intelligent little girl~Thanks again Derick for all the great things you do for these humble people~Take care, William–USA
Thank you William. Gel’s bday has come and gone. Please tune in to the 2 bday events.🙏
Loving stable parents produce better children
💯% agreed. Edith and Anthony works in synchrony and still have so much fun
How old is Gel is she in university? Just subscribed to your channel.
She just turned 12 a few days ago which I have documented both her parties. Please watch them. Thank you for your support
Such Great parents as her Dad Anthony is a Good Man as her mom is so Sweet and Angel deserves a Bright future as she has Charmed us All thanks to Derek as the Party was Fabulous as the whole community came out
Thank you Paul. And we can continue to help her grow just by the simple act of watching her upcoming channel. No different from watching any other programming on TV
Gel is absolutely beautiful and very energetic.she doesn’t ashame to show her talent to speak foreign language.thanks
She’s proud😊❤️
You are amzing Mr. Derick..one of the best vlogging I ever seen.
Ooohhh…. thank you 🙏 for the compliment. I really mean it
I envy you, Derek. I don’t contribute to organised charities because we don’t really know if the money goes to the right people. I have always wanted to do what you did. You are so fortunate to find this lovely family in the middle of nowhere and do whatever you can to help. Good Karma will come your way.
Yes, Joseph. Many suggested that I register for a charity. I CAN NOT do that. If I do, I lose my freedom. I will have to pay salaries to accountants and employees, answer to board members, and can’t make quick decisions like I did with this family
Great video
Their lives seems so simple and I wish I had such a sweet family
Thank you for the effort you make for the family
Thank you for the support and encouragement
Beware of phidopile, child predators 😢 who always pretend and joined helping orphans
Yep. Got that under control
What a great ambassador she is for the Philippines, here you have a modest, but happy home.
She was very lucky for you to come into her life to become a fantastic mentor given your ethnic background you are perfect for her to be empathetic and protective. You are her guardian Angel. These are humble and REAL people living a simple life but enjoying things that are priceless that money can’t buy. You speak well to these people without being condescending like the typical ugly American. I am so glad you are helping Grl a true Angel and you are her Guardian( Angel) I enjoy your narrative You make me feel like I am there visiting without traveling great presentation. I find Vietnamese people fascinating and extremely smart. I met recently a youg Vietnamese doctor in Palm Beach, Florida. She was a quick study and handled the Emergency room with great expertise. I am a physician myself and was sorry to see her leave. She is married and left with her husband. It was our loss. She far exceeded all the other physicians in knowledge and skill like little Gel the second . Their last name was Vu. If you need a doctor and you see this name immediately get an appointment you would be fascinated.
Coming from a physician, I am greatly complimented. However, I feel Gel is MY guardian Angel.
don’t get shot
Apparently… iam accepted into the community now
should get another 30 years easy1
For her. Not for me😊
Can u keep updating on them
Yes. For sure. I will do that in the beginning of all my vids going forward until her channel is live mid July
SALAMAT ❤️ for sharing update , God bless 🕊️🙏if I may i bring my wife from Iloilo province for visiting family and build a free range chicken coop for rooster and hens 🐓🐔🐔 🐔🐔🐔 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣 as gift for family prosperity to eat and sell …
Her father is really a hardworking and a successful man. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Success in many ways. But not monetary. His margins a super low and he employs a few community members, including Jesus who has the clef even when his budget is not in his favor. He is a good man
What’s the old saying ” the eyes are a window to the soul ” such a beautiful smile and i see she gets it from her mother !
Cookie cutter
She is such a sweetheart ❤
Nobody knows what this guy Derek’s intentions are why do you think he’s hanging around a young girl in the Philippines it’s because you can marry a girl in the Philippines when they are as young as 12 years old with parents consent it’s a really messed up country
Look at my other videos before you start chirping. You are the very “Glass half empty” type of folks I am running away from back home
Philippines girls are really beautiful, those 2 young girls looking at them I see they are going to be very stunning women in years to come 😲🌹♥️
Did Gel get the laptop? How would one donate to help her?
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=22UU6PNDQLGKC&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=USD
Her laptop was purchased and on the way. If you still like to contribute for other equipments like her future internet costs, microphones, etc so she can pursue her own channel, the link is provided above
This video reminded me of my time in Vietnam. There were wonderful children there that I interacted with and I loved it.
My birth country. 🫶
Wow, those pigs live in crates in which they can’t even turn around, which is not even worth a comment from you. How much would it cost to make a pen so they can live somewhat normal lives instead of in hell? Your moral concern is limited.
Hello i like your videos specialy gel,s your videos have put tears in my eyes,godbless.
Thank you. Having emotions reminds us that we are human
She’s a star. ❤
That’s the goal. Please support her upcoming channel.
What a great family.🙂
Lovely
the roof needs noise insulation from rain, poor pigs living in captivity.
😔 to the pigs
@Q Adventures no house for the pigs….😀
Enjoy watching here your vlog thumps up
Thank you. Very nice to have the support of female subscribers
I love people Chinese but I hate ur government because Philippines teretory is enved 😴
Not only Chinese but allso vitnam and Malaysia
You got me beat
HER NAME IS JAIL???
what is her channel?
It’s not yet ready. Please stay tuned for updates. It’s almost ready
@Q Adventures great. does she have a name yet?
@Alizee Defan @MountainAngelDiaries is Gel’s youtube channel
in the other video, “how do you make money with flowers?” hey einstein! they sell them!!!😂
I had to research that pig info. A pig lives to 15-20ys. Ideal age of slaughter for meat is about 6mo. The female can bear offspring to 7 – 8 yrs.
Thank you. That was very informative
Galing naman nilang lahat magsalita ng English. .👏🤗❤️
Would insulated shipping containers be better to live in I know hard to transport but china has some as a flat pack that you can put together also do they pay any rent where home is
It’s a great idea but not practical here. They source what’s available and affordable. Scraps, per se. And no, they don’t pay rent
@Q Adventures ok
Loving first 2 videos subscribed after 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for a great video. I love to see foreigners being generous with the blessings that we have been so fortunate to have most of our lives. God bless you guys.
Thank you for being so supportive. We also have subscribers that contribute
A very smart and friendly small lady❤🙏I have a daugther about rhe same age , God Bless !!💯
Your a kind person to help them out.
I’m chasing my passion. To help those who can help themselves. Thank you for your support
Migo I forgot you live in Lapu Lapu.
That’s one of the places I’m hoping
to retire.. is it a good place for
a quiet life?
Nope!!! It’s a big city. One of financial hubs of the phils. If you have no business making money or noisy life, you better off in Nehros or Bohol Island
Hi Derek. I’m a new subscriber from Denmark and i have to say that I think you do a great job, helping the family. You seem like a good person with the heart on the right place. Thank you for that.
I love your videos so far as I have a filipina girlfriend in Laoag and want to learn as much of the culture that I can and in the same time avoid the tourist spots, which in my opinion doesn’t show the real Philippine.
Greetings from Denmark
Thank you for your support and welcome to my channel. I feel the same way. I am American and going to tourist spots here seem like I flew 8k miles to land in little America. Defeats the purpose
Danao is quite a distance from Lapu-Lapu. The Durano family used to run the place. They had a cement plant there in the 70s.
Cool. Fun fact👍
I hate seeing those pigs being treated like that. Especially the biggest one. It is an intelligent being. It cant even move. Guess there is no animal protections over there? Horrible.
Yeah. Sorry about that. But that’s reality here
No wonder Angel is so sweet as her parents and family are so nice. Just caught up to these videos and loved them. Thank you,
Thank you for catching up
むっちゃ可愛い💕
結婚してくれー
She’s 12 years old man. What’s wrong with you?!?

14:55 that is so cruel keeping the pigs imprisoned in those tiny cages
Western practices are lacking here due to access to resources and finances
@Q Adventures unfortunately this practice also happens in Western countries, UK, USA, Australia, various European countries
I misspoke. I meant to say the more advanced and more humane practices in the west is lacking here. I do understand the practice here still exist in certain parts of the west and not as visual
@Q Adventures personally I would suggest that it is far worse in supposedly more civilised countries because a farm could easily have several hundred of those farrowing crates. I am aware of a country with a building which house over 500,000 pigs caged indoors. At least your friend’s pigs get to see sunlight and fresh air. Billions don’t sadly
@bikeanddogtrips wow!!! I did not know
Anthony looks like one of my cousins. Ant is resourceful like my grandfather. The previous vid looks like pictures of the farm my grandparents owned.
Hey, hey…. the Philippines is calling you home…😁
@Q Adventuresif things gets worse in Cali it’s my Plan B, but I might look into Tagaytay. I like the coconut groves, the down side is no running water or sewage. It would be cool to build rice terraces and aqua ecosystems. Introduce corn into the area? I know you miss tacos, burrito’s and tamales. Grow tomatoes and basil. Tme to make fusion food.
We’ll see. The US is garbage right now and the Trump team can fix the Biden hot mess. If not? I can claim dual citizenship.
This guy is ignorant exploiting this family and these guy’s are always doing stories about girls which tells alot of what they are interested in, and of course other YouTubers like it because they have the same perverted interest always females as though there’s no men to talk to. “No more talk”
Gel eats too much junk food and it shows. She’s already getting chubby.
Do something meaningful and get that kid with the cleft palate an operation through Operation Smile Philippines.
I tried. Many unreturned messages. Email, calls, messenger… even stopped by the office in Manila, fell on deaf ears. Maybe the priority is to kids under 5 yrs
