Living and Dying in the Philippines/Expat Diagnosed 1-3 Years to Live 

My mom was diagnosed with cancer at 87 the doctors told us we must tell her she's only got a few months to live of course we told them no the old gal ended up living to 97 years old and died in her sleep. My parents are my heroes

My grandpa had a stroke and a heart attack at 62 and hes still alive and kicking in his mid 80s. You can do it!

be strong, your in my prayers, i'm 71 and thankful for every day, we never know when !!!!

This is a perfect example of how important it is to have your ducks in a row regardless of age. That being said, I'm praying for your well-being, Monty. 🙏

I know as a Nurse i can tell you only God knows our time when we will be leaving this earth. Looking at you today compared to right before you left for America I can see 100 percent improvement. Keep active Monty your body will compensate over time. Good video Paul.

Such a sad story, I really feel for you Monty. I also understand your decision, one good year in the Philippines with your wife and kid is worth more than five miserable years alone in the U.S. Best of luck to you

Paul. Such a heart felt story for Monty.. I subscribed immediately, such a small gesture all of your subscribers should support. I know one thing for certain, the love and support from his wife and precious little girl and God's grace will uplift Monty to new heights. God bless you Paul for being a devoted friend.

Two very cool dudes. God bless you both.

He has a great attitude about the situation. And he made the right choice coming back to his happy place.

Paul Monty after heart attack and strokes should qualify for 100% diaability. I had my shoulder and knee replaced and diddn't have to pay a penny. Was operated at top notch Hospital in CA.

Congrats, last time we saw Monty I didn't think he would survive the flight. Now he's back already and looking much better with a new fight in him. Nice to see this positive update. Take care.

Watching some of the videos on Monty's channel, I can see how he would much prefer to be with his daughter and wife. They sure add a lot of positivity to his life. It's a blessing to have this little corner where he can be with people he loves and who love him back.

Two nice, articulate guys being good friends to one another. What's not to like.

I like your interview style where you sit side by side with Monty as opposed to just shooting the questions from behind the camera. 👍 You add another dimension when your viewers see you facial expressions and body language as you talk. One could see the sincerity, warmth and feelings as you move from topic to topic.

This is a perfect example of how important it is to get healthy, stay healthy, eat healthy and be healthy. As Paul mentioned, the brain will rewire. Follow Paul's lead. FAST. FAST. FAST. Eat right. FAST. FAST. FAST. Eat right. Repeat. Continue on living. Monty is where he needs to be. With happy people. With his loving family. Good on ya Monty to see where your happiness is. Stress is a killer.

😊great job Paul you are very caring hope to meet you some day Tony C. Savannah, Ga

Done and Done. Looking forward to Monti's stories.

May the Lord bless and heal this good man🙏 No one knows when, even the Dr told him to live 1-3 yrs. Only God knows our limited time on this temporary life. The most important is you have accepted Christ in your life as Lord and Saviour. Only what we have done for Christ will last! And all of us what we have done here on earth either good or bad we will give account to God. May the Lord continue to protect you🙏 And may God bless a good friend like you Sir Paul🙏

I'm here to listen....

It's really nice to see 2 old friends helping each other out.

PRAYERS SENT! GOD BLESS!

You are so blessed in finding your purpose in life. May you have many more years!

Hi Paul , Monty won't be Medicare eligible until he is 65 i believe. Why doesn't he apply for SSDI(social security disability insurance- which we all paid into) which with his disabilities and diagnosis should be approved. If approved he will get the Social Security rate the same as if he waited to draw it at 67 instead of taking it at 62 and getting a much lower amount of Social Security and he will be eligible for Medicaire at that point also.

Thanks Paul, I will support Monty. Hopefully we can be a good friend to his family. Praying always. ❤

Believe in miracle & praying a lot. God bless to you, Monty....from penang malaysia.

Monty there are good hospitals here in Manila. My wife suffered a heart attack in 2014 and we went to the Philippine Heart Center and they fixed her up and she is still kicking my Azz. If you don't have philhealth get it. It will cover at a minimum of 20-30% of the operation. The best of luck to you and I think your are right about coming back.

may of 2018 looking out my tenth floor window at the city of manila ,first time there ,and a felling came over me of freedom ,i never had before, i work all my life ,my girlfriend will need to help me through this freedom,boy did she ever . 8 short days and back on airpland to ohio work stress ,and more stress .had a heart attack at 71 years of age. to much work stress,stress and more stress ,i need that felling again of freedom i be,coming to manila again . take care monty,and paul to .

I hope the instalment plan works out for Monty. Faced with a difficult decision Monty has made the right decision for him. It's sad to think he's become so disillusioned with the country of his birth but understandable in the circumstances. It's not the politicians or the mega rich that make a country great it's ordinary people who get out of bed every day go do a job that serves others feeds their own family and pays taxes. Monty..enjoy whatever time you have in the place you found happiness with a wife and daughter who love you.

Paul Found Monty s channel. Thanks

Well since i hit 56 this year and started to watch more of these expat who have moved to Philippines. I have considered this very strongly. Because of the people and the cost of living also the Filipino people are some of the nicest people very family oriented and even though they may not have a lot they are some of the most generous people you would ever want to meet.

I will be a subscriber of Monty

You’re a good man Paul. I’m impressed by the support you’re showing to your friend Monty in terms of talk/vlog therapy, motivation/encouragement, stress relief, recognition of Monty’s role in going into vlogging, being a positive influence to your viewers while very well articulating all these traits. I’m glad you came back to the Philippines from Thailand. Frankly, I’ve not watched any of your vlogs from Thailand. By the way, I subscribed to Monty’s channel after watching Mark’s interview of Monty. I then went to Monty’s channel & saw Erica & Mae vlogging about your Thanksgiving celebration and I saw you in that vlog. I didn’t even realize that it’s been months since I last watched your vlog when you arrived in Thailand describing Mae’s ordeal in the Manila airport. It’s nice to go back watching your vlogs once again having been a long time subscriber. 👍

Prayers for Monty....Enjoy what you Have....

😢🙏🙏🙏 Hapiness is the best medicine....your daughter your wife your best medicine 👍👍👍

Hi Monty, continue to be positive physically and mentally. It's the key to increase your immune system. Immune system prevents and fights diseases. Keep on smiling s well.....I will pray for you...

Monty your looking great , glad your doing better than before…I am gonna keep you in my prayers and thoughts..

Praying for miracle for him..keep on praying in faith.

Wish you the best Monty!

Done. Goodluck monty.

Sending prayers🙏🙏🙏 for a full recovery for Monte

Done good luck Monty look forward to your new channel Take care God Bless

Am now a new subscriber to the Crew channel and good health

May God lenghten more his life so he can still serve his purpose in life. I would pray for his wellness.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was hoping that I was preaching to the choir when I wrote my initial comment, and that he was already either on it or looking into disability.. I have since checked out his channel and saw more videos that tell of his health issues, as well. He's a slam dunk to be awarded Social Security disabilty, which would literally be life changing and, most possibly, life saving for him.. He'd get more monthly income than early Social Security will pay him (and sooner than next September), plus he'd qualify for Medicare MUCH sooner than having to wait 'til he's 65. This is a no-brainer, actually. I hate to say this, but if this is actually the case that he won't at least look into his options, then he's not looking out for his family, especially when none of this would cost him a dime. In fact, he'd also get an initial and substantial lump sum payment up front, as well as full retirement pay... way before September.

As I get older and start to believe if it's not your time you're not going to die. Every day young and healthy ppl die from all kinds of reasons. Great to see Monty getting stronger. Keep the faith.

God bless both of you!

Such a wise video. I will sign up for his video channel and watch every ad. Hopefully that will bring in a little money. Monty is correct. Having something to look forward to and being around people who love you is better than any pill. Your body will work to repair it’s self as long as it knows you have a reason to live. Paul, thank-you for your generous and practical heart. I’m a 73yo woman with zero interest in moving to the Philippines. I watch because of the human interest stories and your attitude toward life which I would sum up as : #1 Don’t sweat the small stuff. #2 It’s all small stuff.

This is a real conversation and it is very appreciated

As always thanks Paul. Subbed to Monties new channel too lets see how he develops it in time

Glad to hear from Monte again. He does look a lot better. I think the Philippines is great for anyone with stress

Great video keep going monty

Good on you guys,your all heart,keep the great work up,keep safe,and may god blees you both.

I am subscribing now! Thanks for sharing your life story!

Monty and Paul, thanks for the update. This was a sobering video. (I subbed to the Mrs' channel)

Life is a continual learning process...and we can all learn lessons from Monte's example. I hope Monte does all he can for himself and his family...unfortunately we all have only one life to live...make it the fullest!

Wish you all the best Monty, look great considering your health history

Fantastic video and a great guess good luck to you sir

Good for you Monty . If you’re happy and have less stress in the Philippines, more power to you . Stress will mess with your organs especially the liver which is the Captain of the ship ... your body .

I hope Monty gets the help that he desperately needs. Paul you handled this situation very well. I think your friend Bud Brown would have some good insight about this plight that Monty has.

good luck sir. this also shows the value of learning local language(s). thank goodness i am 66 in great shape (except some extra weight)

This is the first time I have seen this video. I subscribed to Paul's, Monte, Filipina Pea channels and a few others. I enjoy watching all the channels. I wish Monte and his family the very best... Avoid stress...

Monty I hope you read this. You can retain a top notch Social Security/disability attorney while living in the Philippines. I pray for your health and happiness.

prayers for monty to get better.

Monty your wife and daughter should be plenty of reason to give you longer life and to give you a positive frame of mind , in 10 months get yourself back to the states and fix your heart so that it will then give you 10 to 15 years longer with them maybe even longer than that ,you can do that for them right knuckle down Monty and do the right thing for all of you and not just for yourself do it man God Bless

Great for you Monty no one knows when their time is up I will be Praying for you and your family GOD BLESS

Seniors are respected in the Philippines as this is the culture. Lucky you decided to stay for good. Your family will be look after you. Hope you get better.

Keep on fighting and prove those doctors wrong!!

Done! Subscribed! Paul you were my very first subscriber and your generosity, sincerity and friendship, the way you didn't hesitate to sub me, well, I admire you very much. I don't get the time to watch that many of your videos, but due to the person you are, I've become a loyal fan for life. I'll always be dropping by to check out what your doing. You're a great man and helped give me the confidence to give RU-vid my best shot. It's been great to watch your growth here, you've amazed and inspired me with your communication skills and your ability to hold peoples interest with whatever you talk about. While I just cannot see myself doing the same styled videos as yourself, I still hope to find a niche here and eventually make a few extra dollars when I also retire in the Philippines. I have a lot in common with Monty actually so it'll be good to connect with him and follow his journey.. I'm only a couple of weeks away from 61 and have sever COPD, I'm in the last stages of COPD. Life's been a great struggle this last few years but the docs thought I'd be dead in 2 years.. its 3 years now and still hanging on. Not giving up. I also feel the Philippines is my only hope to survive, for many of the same reasons as Monty. The dream of living in the Phils keeps me alive. Hoping and praying I can sell my assets soon and get over there before its too late. Actually I've requested in my will that I be buried in Pardo Cemetery if possible, whether I make it over there in time or not. I don't even want my bones resting in Australia. At least my best friends would visit my grave in Pardo. Yea, really hoping I can get over there soon, sometimes I worry I won't make it in time. But fingers crossed. I know I'll have a chance and life will get much better if I make it. Cheers Bud Best regards. 👍🙂

Stress and depression no good at our age..I have had heartache and stroke..best to live with family in philipines..manila..

Stay well Monty 🙏🏽

Crew Family Philippnes channel subscription added. Great video, Paul.

I already see the video of the car you bought Monty, I will buy one like this too, I found it interesting for my needs

Home is where the ❤️ is.

I subscribed to Monty. He is looking much better being with his wife and daughter. All the best wishes for them❤

You guys are spot on when it comes to being positive in life, it can add years to your life. Another thing I truly believe in is laughter, my uncle was on his death bed and the hospital chaplain came in to say his prayer when my uncle opened his eyes and told the chaplain to save his message for someone that is dying. My uncle started laughing and told everyone in the room that he can't die because all his girlfriends would miss him. He lived another five years.

Love you guys! Further inspiring a person in his mid 40's here in Canada! You guys make me smile. Thank you sir!

Great interview Paul. Monty is looking a lot better than when you last interviewed him. Positive attitude goes a long way in a healthy life.

Good story. Subscribed and looking forward to hearing Monty’s story.

God Bless Monty and Paul 🙏💚🍀🎄

Great Video Paul...he's lucky he has a devoted wife and young daughter to give him hope and happiness.. God Bless

Gotta love Monty's positive attitude and kind nature.

God bless you Paul for all you do to help people….😅

God Bless

You can begin to collect Social Security at 62. But you must be 65 for Medicare. I like his positivity. Best wishes - and prayers!

Monty looks better than before for sure.....he was most distressed with his business...subscribed

Paul, you are so kind to vlog your friends and acquaintances and their happy or sad situations in life. Monty's illnesses appears to be a disability, can no longer function in the working world. He may be eligible for social security disability which payment is higher than retirement, that is if he had contributed to social security in the last 5 years, he can file at the nearest US Embassy or Consulate in Philippines, the US embassy provides doctors at government expense to evaluate him. If he is lucky to be alive till age 65, at which time Medicare kicks in, he can waive Medicare because he does not have any plans to go back to the US, in which case his Medicare premium reverts to his regular monthly SS check, more income to him. If his wife is retirable or not, she can collect immediately from his SS due to the minor child. My prayers for Monty and his family. Paul, keep up the good work. God bless.

Lots of people pulling for you Monty. You have many more years ahead of you. You have the magic elixr, a loving Wife and the magic of a Young Child in your house…

Thanks!

Paul I feel so bad for Monty but he is doing the right thing being there with his wife and daughter. I am in Florida and my wife and stepson are on Mindanao and with our corrupt government here it is taking forever to try to get them to this country and a lot of money. I am 75 and my wife is 32. I spent the month of May this year in the Philippines and I love it there although things were a bit strange to me for a while. I am very unhappy here without my wife so I think I'm going to do the same thing just sell everything and come there. I just wish there was a fast and easy way to do that. You have been my inspiration in finding the Philippines and finding my loves in the Philippines. I really hope I can be there by Spring. Now for the unfortunate news. Monte is not eligible for Medicare at age 62. He can start collecting his Social Security at 62 but he cannot get Medicare until he is 65 unfortunately. I am looking very forward to meeting you and Monty when I get to Dumaguete. I'm so glad you decided to stay in the Philippines. Good luck to both of you

I feel for you Monty and agree with your decision. I hope that I never need emergency medical care here or anywhere. I am retired and 66 but in good shape, Thank God for that . But you know tomorrow is a different day and anything can happen. I pray for you and hope the best for you

Fantastic questions and amazingly deep interview! Thanks! I wish him well.

My heart goes out to Monty I wish him well

Monty 100% made the right decision to sell his business in the USA, sell his vehicles, sell his camper and move to the Philippines so he could be with his young wife and young daughter. In the USA he is invisible@his age, but in the Philippines he is still alive and he has his family, friends, and he is respected and wanted!!

the best in the future for Monty

Wow Monty stay positive and live everyday like it's your last

Excellent video Paul, I feel Monty needs be strong and have those surgery and recover so he can have a happy longer life with his wife daughter amd friends there as I have just had a major surgery and recovering now so I can live longer and maybe be there one day, Scott from New Zealand

Hope he makes it the next year. He needs some good luck.
