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!
@@qadventures 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. 👍
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
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
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.
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 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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙏
@@qadventures 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.
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.
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
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.
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 Derek I found your channel when you found Angel, Not only is Angel a Star but you too... Angel should have her own RU-vid 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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
I love these little she has such a beautiful smile so happy even though she don't have anything 💗 💛 💖 💕 ❤️ she deserves ❤️ 💖 a beautiful person like you and your wife please help her out sending ❤️ 💗 💖 ♥️ love god bless you all
Gel’s mom and dad should be so proud of themselves for being who they are! Much respect to Anthony “dad” for providing such an awesome home for his family. Such a beautiful family,,,,,,
If that little girl had a RU-vid 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. 🙏
@@qadventures 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 👍
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
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
Mountain Angel Diaries- my new favorite channel.Gel is so adorable and precious 😢I cannot help being interested in her life and supporting her with views. Just don’t allow her to put the you tube Log above he studies even if some Money starts to roll in.
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 RU-vid. 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
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
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
Gel is such a bright wholesome girl at almost 12 years of age, I hope the Best for her always! I have a granddaughter she reminds me of here in America! Her family and friends must be Proud of her! Derek your such a good man to run into these people and understand their life in this modern time! Thank you for being their for them! I'm a new subscriber! I'm Proud of that! Amen...
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
heres a facinating thing im seeing, Q found a girl by chance who was sad she gets bullied at school, feels sad about her life and does the best she cant, shes sweet and kind and always thinking of others. she our mountain angel im so glad to see stuff like this because with Q and his you tube fans he helped her to become strong and confident and she now has the love and respect of her comunity and all of us around the world. this is what my eyes are seeing Great work to Q please keep this kinda stuff. my quote ' always hold a hand out and help those who are having trouble finding there way in , show love and respect to the children so they can in turn do the same.
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
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!
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
