Relationships in the Philippines/Baby Mae's Life Before Meeting Paul@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I interview Baby Mae about her life growing up in the province Today with Baby Mae / babymaescooking%c3%a0d...
Mae's life has improved immeasurably since she met Paul. Paul's life has improved immeasurably since he met Mae. Everything else is gravy. I am glad they are both happy. Haters can piss off.
That is true. But once Paul met her and was serious he should have sent her to conversational English classes in town or online classes. If so her English would be so much better and it would enhance her RU-vid channel.
Having lived in the Philippines i can say i have heard just about every story you can imagine some of which some can bring a tears to your eyes. All i can say is look after No1 because someone somewhere is gonna take what you have slaved for. Tread carefully and good luck.
Mae's story is very similar to my wife's. She lived a life that would have broken most westerners. Raised in dirt poor conditions and worked since age 14 sending all her money home. And still managed to teach herself English and put herself through CNA school! Hard to imagine that kind of life. I am in awe of people like that.
Damn the Trolls, what a bunch of low life's. My wife and I have known Paul + Mae for 3 years, what you see and hear on their channel is who they are * GOOD PEOPLE *
Oh Paul and Mae. This pulled at my heart strings sooooo much. Baby is so adorable and both of you are just two bundles of joy. All the best forever and ever. Amen.
Being rich depends on how you measure your wealth. Women like Baby Mae have an inner strength and heart that are priceless. Sacrificing for love of family, responsibility beyond measure. Courage and strength seldom seen. God bless you both.
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234good for you Paul, just wrapped up the John series your a good man for doin all that for him your wife seems like a great lady I wish me an my wife can retire someday in Thailand when our kids get big we r 40 now
Baby Mae is an inspiration. She deserves all the respect that can be given. She is a woman of great character. I’m glad she met you Paul. You both seem to have a mutual respect. You are good for each other. Your channel is very entertaining. Love watching it!
@@nadadebraga7981 may be you have never experienced poverty am working hard to cross that bridge of poverty that l was born and lived, but through God my life is better than what it was growing up, and I told myself that I don't want the life of my parents l have to empower myself for the best
Wow. I’m an experienced traveler with exposure to many cultures and it never ceases to amaze me how much people can do and accomplish with nothing. Paul, Mae, thank you for sharing your private lives, being so transparent and vulnerable to your audience. Much respect to you both. 🙏🏽
This story of Mae's is very similar to that of my sweet Fiance Josie...born n raised in the poor provence out in Leyte..worked in the field helping her family even as a child..then started working as a 13 yr old down in manila after going through schooling only to the 9th grade..probably lucky to go that far in school...she's the 2nd kid of 9 siblings.. She's worked hard her entire life even through this month at age 39...it's wired into them to provide as soon as possible in order to help the family...I've never heard her complain ever from working so long and tough every day.. Sleeping on the floor..no bed..maybe a thin foam...it's crazy... The real issue is the average person doesn't make Jack as far as pay per day... I love her and think she's incredible!.. Hats off to people like my Josie and Mae...
Mae's story is SO similar to my wife's; her life as a child and as a teenager was so difficult, her family so poor -- yet her motivation to get up and go to work was helping her family - nothing for herself. The only thing she did for herself was attend high school -- something her 7 siblings never did, and her parents did nothing to encourage her, they wanted her to stick close to the barrio. She slaved and studied until she graduated, and then went off to find better work. One of the reasons I married this girl was her courage and resiliency in the absolute worst of circumstances -- and hers and Mae's is a typical story in the Philippines, especially for the women. I look at Mae and I want to break down, because she reminds me so much of my dear departed Mindy, and I miss her and her strength every single day. You're a lucky man, Paul; a lucky man.
My wife's father died when she was 2 they had 7 children at the time of his death She also quit school at 3rd grade to be house keeper for relatives in cebu, went to school at night People here have no clue what these girls have gone through! You were blessed my friend and I'm sorry for your loss!!
@@nadadebraga7981 Truth hurts. Mae backstory is BS. She was a pokpok that hooked up with a creepy old man that would pay the bills after hundreds just humped and dumped her
I have a lot of respect for this woman. I wish I could tell of the hardships of my life (which are nothing compared to those of Baby Mae) with a smile on my face like she does. What a great, positive person you've got there Paul! God bless you both!
One of the finest RU-vid videos I've seen on life in Philippines, and I've seen too many to count. Great respect for Mae, and for Paul who sees in her what matters.
I thought that my life was really hard and then you hear about Mae! Wow, and I have watched her channel a time or two. Good luck with your endeavors in the future.
What a cool story I got a one-of-a-kind unicorn also very similar to mays story finally in November or December we’re coming back home to do Magette and lo and behold you guys are Globetrotting. My girl also is from Negros oriental mountains. 😀🌴🌴🍺
Hello Paul and Mae.. Truly the best interview so far.. We have grown to love and respect Mae . Her life story should be an inspiration to all of your viewers. Her love of God and family is so evident.. Also, her cake video using two large cups of water was a classic and so much fun.. Have a wonderful trip to Thailand.. God bless
You and Baby Mae are my favorite couple on RU-vid! Together, you represent the best example of how to live a good life, full of kindness, responsibility, warmth and gratitude. I love you both!
Baby Mae is so humble when she said that her english is not that good. For someone who only completed 3rd grade and has never left the Philippines and probably not had a lot of exposure to english language, her english is very good. She appears to be a good, sane woman. I admire her for everything she has done for herself and her family. Paul is lucky to have her. Wishing the two of you the best life together.
Paul, shes a keeper. She knows how to handle finances because she started from nothing and she knows how hard to earn money. She knows how to save and safeguard that savings because she knows how hard to be poor and does not want to go back as being poor.
I rarely leave comments because I mostly watch RU-vid on the television. Halfway through this vid I had to switch to my laptop to say how impressed I am with Mae. I wish you both a long and happy marriage, thank you for sharing your lives.
l Love you Baby Mae I say with tears in my eyes. I'm in a LDR with a girl with a very similar story. She is one of ten her mother left the family. At a young age she was responsible for taking care of her siblings. Somedays all she had to feed her siblings was instant coffee with rice.She now lives with her aunt who is in ill health. She cooks, cleans and does laundry for her aunts family for a room to stay in in a squatter area.
Life has got a way of finding itself! Like Baby Mae I was born in the mountain, the eldest of 8 children, work in the fields, help my parents plant rice and vegetables for our own food. At aged 8, my mother wants me to stop school to take care of my siblings for her to work in the fields. But I like school so I enrolled myself without her permission, and did that year after year till completing Primary. Again my mother again wants me to defer Hi-school, so I worked as a domestic helper of an aunt for high school support, living with her, 2 babies, and her older parents. All the time I wanted an education and to be a teacher so that I can help my parents support my siblings for a better life. We Filipinos have always believed in this, helping our parents and our siblings, I did that and I am now a retired Registered Nurse here in 'Australia with my own family. worked hard, and serve all thru the mission by God's grace. Baby Mae be proud of who you are! As Paul says, we did not choose our birth but we can choose what to do with our life. be blessed and stay thankful and trustful to God and all. Blessed both, you are meant for each other for better lives in this world and beyond.
She is a keeper, without question! Pride in who she is and what has kept her going and makes her shine above so many others. Proud people do not ask for help very easily!
You are great together! I have so much respect for Baby Mae. It's not where you start in life that matters. It's the progression of moving forward. Well done Baby Mae! The best is yet to come
She should be very proud of who she is and what’s she’s done. Very giving and responsible. Her background gives her the perspective to enjoy and appreciate her life.
This woman in one short video has taken away nearly every excuse that someone could have for not succeeding in life. Well done Mae👍. Oh and Paul, you picked a winner.
Very inspiring and humbling story of Baby Mae. Great content. Kudos to both of you Paul and Mae. You both have a good heart. We wish you all the best. Take care. 🎉💞🙏🇵🇭
This really struck me. We complain a lot for little things especially here in the US, people are just such a complainer. Mae is an example of how tough life can be for some people here in the Philippines. Im amazed that she was able to learn to speak and understand English despite finishing only grade 3 elementary. She’s smart and motivated but unfortunately not given a opportunity to finish to college. I can relate to this as I came from a very poor family but was lucky to get that opportunity to finish college and landed a good job here in the US. Hats off Mae.
Happy to see Mae doing so well. Lot's of respect for her. Paul you found 1 in a million. Glad to see you guys have a solid relationship even with the occasional disagreements and lines that can't be crossed. Wishing you many more years of happiness together.
This woman comes across as totally credible. This kind of worth ethic has not been seen in my country in decades. You're a lucky guy Paul, take care her and I'm sure she will reciprocate!
Paul, please tell Mae for me to never be ashamed of where she comes from. At the end of the day, our beginnings don't matter. It's what we make of ourselves that really counts. In Mae's case, she can be very proud of herself. What really matters is that we are self-sufficient and give back to our family and fellow man in whatever capacity we are able. It seems to me Mae has done that in spades. God Bless!
I am Aussie and my parents were not at all well off. Dad was the eldest son and had im my late grandfather's German reasoning, had to work the farm. He was not educated beyond Grade 2 and spent his life working with horses and scrub (bush) clearing. The farm failed in after years of bad drought in 1936 and they walked off. He spent the majority of his life breaking horses and in stables. We were looked down upon by the rest of the family, who had the benefit of being educated. My dad was tough and hard working and he taught me the value of that. He had manners and compassion for others, and in particular, those whom were less fortunate than us. We were poor, but that is not a crime, unless you happened to be some of my opinionated relatives looking down on us. Mae, be proud in standing on your own feet and surviving. You retained your dignity.
Amazing. I know she is not that unusual. Giving up so much to support the family. We may think we have it hard but this just shows how little we know. Mae is special in that she didn't want money from Paul when they were dating and that is a huge positive character trait for someone so poor.
OMG you were so lucky to meet such a special women as Mae. I had no idea and have so much respect for her and for you to Paul cause I know you will help make her dream come true. If only there were more women like her in the Phillipines. Have a blast in Thailand and travel safe. ❤
@@AmericaManFilipinoWife will do and so glad you have found a great partner. English would be the main issue for me so that’s awesome and so much respect for these women. Love to drop the whining bunch of western women into the provinces they wouldn’t last a week.
Mae you should be extremely proud of everything you have accomplished you seem to be a remarkable person. Paul you are a very lucky man to have someone so special in your life, never take that for granted.
I am so proud a baby May. She is such a beautiful person inside and out and she is exactly who she is. Paul I'm also proud of you because you bring out the best in her and you get her out of her shell. So congrats to you both I definitely enjoy your channels
Mae is so precious! She had a hard life and preserved! She deserves the life she has now , she is not only beautiful but an awesome woman! ...God bless y'all...🙏❤
Yeah, you got a good one. I did too. I would say we are lucky but it's not all luck. Knowing where to go is a big part of it. There's plenty more where these came from. I credit this channel for part of my decision to pursue a Filipina. I would encourage others to do the same. When Mae smiles it makes me smile.
It's great to that you found a woman with great family values, is a hard worker and never used you as an ATM. You are a lucky man ! A lot of foreigners there are sucked dry for what they have, but that even happens here in the U.S.
You are an amazing person Mae I was inspired by your life story you struggled in your life and always put your family first I hope that you and paul have a long and happy life together
KUDOS to Baby Mae! I have much respect for her, we think we have it hard here. Most people I know would have just given up and not keep going like Baby Mae did. You're a good man Paul and have a beautiful woman at your side! 🙏🙏
What a great story. The two of you just compliment each other so well. You are both so lucky to have met each other and because you are such genuine people, able to make it work so effortlessly. And being the genuine, down to earth couple that you are makes you one of my favorite vloggers on yt.
Paul I think you have the right woman for you. Just love and treat her well and she will definitely take care of you.Take it from me as a filipino. They are rare gems in this time and age.
Mae is so simple and you can tell she's genuinely proud of her humble family and beginnings. Paul could teach her to speak better English because you can see she's inquisitive and could learn more but because of her family's simple life, she didn't get the chance to go to school, to further her learning and have a good education. I'm also a Filipino from Manila and got a good education, a college degree and a professional and now living in the U.S. If ever I go back, I'd like to give back and help some co-patriots (or kababayan) to learn English which is not really difficult for most Filipinos because they're usually capable and efficient in learning another language. Thanks Paul for finding Mae and wish you both nothing but happiness and all the best.
from what you and baby mae reveal, the more baby mae become so admirable to all of us...... she is truly a hero and a big big hero to all members of her family
Paul, you really lucked out finding this cute little gem with an amazing personality, great looks, common interests, and a real devotion and love for you! You really did rescue Mae from a lifetime of drudgery, poverty and a third world statistic. We, here in California can only dream and aspire to have a girl like her. Thanks for another great video, as they all are.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Mae ma'am. I'm really at a loss for words on the emotions I felt listening. You are a very strong woman with a big heart. It surprised me to learn you feel that you are not good at written English. You are always so eloquent when replying to youtube comments. Bless you.
Great video....as many others have said probably one of your best. The love between the two of you is genuine. Haters are going to hate, more so because of envy. Paul you are an amazing guy for taking a second chance on life and Mae you are such an accomplished woman who, with Paul by your side for guidance, has overcome so many fears in such a short amount of time. You two just keep keeping on....
This is the best! Firstly, much respect to Mae for what an amazing person of hard work and integrity. She deserves everything she has. And Paul, you have showed a very wise model for dating. Needs a solo vid. You took it slow and smart and got the best partner any man could wish for. Teach that!
God bless you Mae. I suspected as much, but was great hearing your success story. It's not easy sharing our past pains and difficulties but it's often exactly what other need to hear to keep going. Helps us see the light at the end of a tunnel.
Beautiful story. never be ashamed of where you came from, it is the building blocks that makes you such a beautiful and wonderful lady, blessings to you
I have nothing but respect and admiration for this lady with such a humble background, who cared for her siblings at such a tender age in her life. She deserves to be happy and taken care of, and I wish her the very best reward life has to offer!!!🏆🏅🏆
