When Things Go Wrong in the Philippines/ The Village Idiots 

Standing by to Help when you do it

It’s nice seeing the three amigos together and hearing what everyone is up to. Adding the reflective tape to the helmets is a great idea. Thanks Paul.

I met my wife in HK. We got together, had a child and moved to the Philippines because she wanted to come home (HK, by the way, has a great public health service. My wife's pregnancy, delivery and the subsequent after-care, including vaccinations, check-ups, etc., came to around USD 400, max.). We could afford to do so. We have property and cash, transportation, investments, a business and, ultimately, no budget, since we spend what we need to in order to keep the family on track. Having travelled around the world, I was quite happy to settle down. I can in no way knock this country.

Love you GUYS so much, I am headed to CDO to marry my girlfriend. Paul thank you for your wonderful Channel, so much great information. I am joining my future wife in her ministry of feeding and educating kids in the mountains outside of Cayagan De Oro.

You guys were right on about going back to USA. I feel the same way. I love our country, but it is nothing like it use to be. I am retired, recently married a Philipina, & have no interest in going back except for a visit. The Philippines is my home now.

Gold finger is awesome. What a great man. Thanks for having on your channel, paul.

Enjoy the round tables. Entertaining and informative.

A tip of the hat to Goldfinger for helping Filipino kids with bike safety helmets. Good guy!

I much enjoyed the talks, got some good laughs, you guys should do more of these. Really nice what Goldfinger doing for the kids! 🥰 Take care guys.

Great video Paul, Goldfinger and the 3rd man. I enjoy good, positive, humorous videos like this and I really love the passion Goldfinger has for the people there. I'm having so many health issues now I've taken my house off the market and delayed my move to the Philippines. I've seen more doctors and been in more hospitals and emergency rooms the last 6 months than I had in over 20 years. My Filipina is being very understanding, very patient and very loving. I am SO anxious to get there, but can't right now. I'm helping Goldfinger as much as I can but even that is on hold now due to crazy expensive hospital and doctor bills, and annual property taxes I have in 2 states and 4 counties in those states. I'm still planning to go there, just need to get better first. God bless you all.

I really like when you guys get together, hope to see more of it. Goldfinger is awesome.

Hi GUYS , Super video , TY PAUL. I think one of the nicest things there in the PHILS, is to have GREAT friends , who help each other and the FILIPINO people. GOD BLESS CIAO

Hello, really good video, we like those guys. It’s nice that your helping the kids. 👍

Fantastic videos guys. Slowly but surely you give information to people, I like that. Everybody has his own feelings and ways to reach goals. The most important after all it's happiness! Thanks.

Great channel you provide such a good sense of how things work and how life can be in Philippines.

Need more Goldfinger.

Great conversation...just kicking around things...best wishes on your helmet drive!

If y'all decide to do a livestream 24 hour marathon just get Goldfinger to host it because he will NEVER run out of stuff to say. Make that a 48 hour marathon.

Wow , as usual Mr. Paul , a great episode of regular guys living great lives . I’m honestly so happy for you guys to have found your bliss

Great get-together by all of you guys! Thank you Paul and stay safe!

You guys are living the good life🇵🇭

Hi Paul. Great video with Goldfinger and Darryl. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, it’s always a pleasure to hear you have a sit down with Goldfinger. He has such a pleasant demeanor. I hope Darryl the best with the new girlfriend. My two cents advice to him is you don’t want a cavewoman. There’s nothing wrong with a work home balance. In many instances, it will benefit the relationship since you aren’t literally side by side all day. And please, don’t give a ring to keep the peace to alleviate a fear. That’s done for all the wrong reasons.

Thank you gentlemen for sharing your videos, i really like your humor and you make us laugh. I can’t wait to be in the PI.

Paul awesome SHiRt!!!

I agree with Goldmember . I wouldn’t want to be responsible for a house if I’m retired . I would have the life insurance and money in the bank . I’m not supervising a new build . Not when I’m retired .

Thank you for helping the kids and educating them about motorcycle safety

Three cool guys and some laughs. Glad to see you all back. I miss you guys.

Your videos are great. My wife and I always enjoy them, and sometimes she gets homesick for the Philippines while watching. Please get your pal there in the middle of the group to get out and exercise, and reduce his carbs. We don't want to see him suffering from a lot of health issues that he's bound to have in the future. There's lots of great veggies available in the Philippines. Veggies & meat & walking every day, no rice, no noodles and he'll be okay.

One of your best videos Paul. I enjoyed the content of your presentation. Makes me further want to nove there becuase if your positive vibes. You guys are making an impact on the cimmunity with your charitable work. Keep it up guys. Thanks for the video.

The Helmets For Kids A Great Thing ! Getting Them To Stop Wearing Sandals (Flip Flops) On Motorcycles Would Be Another Great Safety Issue To Address ! Hope All Of You Have A Great Night/Day ! Thanks For What You're Doing ! 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯

Thank You! I look forward to meeting all 8fvyou one day.

Tagaytay is very nice but it’s close to the Taal volcano. 🌋Beautiful place to live and the breeze seems to blow out the humidity. A lot of the houses there don’t have a/c because of the weather. 👍 It’s pricey though. My Filipina and I are looking to live on the other side of Luzon.

Thank you for the Videos and Fun discussions and perspectives , very down to Earth discussions.

Goldfinger I still say you should make a RU-vid channel. Your perspective and wit are entertaining.

😂😂😂 this is great! Made me laugh! Love your guys life in Pinas,

The term that comes to my mind is "nesting", that's what most women do... Its in their DNA. As for a "nest egg" for your pinya, the house in area she grew up in works the best.

But a loan to most Filipinos is taken as a gift. They don't usually expect to repay.

Hi guys I live in Thailand, 61 years old retired early two years ago aged 59 ( Uk retirement age is 67 ) I have the same problem you guys have , my hardest decision for the day is where I’m going for lunch , my partner works full time as a teacher so I have all day to myself until she comes home from work , win win Regards Davy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇹🇭

Brilliant initiative guys. Good on you.

I have really enjoyed living in the Philippines the last few years but the value I receive for the price I pay is out of wack. The nice thing is I can always return to the Philippines. "You can't connect the dots looking forward." - Steve Jobs

Shout out to "Lord Helmet!". Thank you Sir for your service to the community!

❤

Life insurance is a great idea to get it locked in and you can chance the beneficiary if relationship changes. Be a gret topic Paul.

Hilarious, informative video, Paul… You guys are good friends. Yes that Goldfinger does need a course. He definitely doesn’t have the Midas touch when it comes to relationships it seems lol but his heart is in the right place especially when it comes to the helmet giveaway. ? the Duma meet looked like a success. Home construction if you’re going to pick anybody’s brain over there for either large or small I’d say… James Texas Filipino. The wrapup comments from everyone were priceless. I’m looking forward to my visit in 2024… The beginning of my long winter of life in the Philippines.🇨🇦

These individuals should take their time. There are numerous potential partners in the Philippines, so it's essential to get to know someone thoroughly before deciding on marriage.

Goldfinger looks much younger than his age. All you men are nice guys.

Well, I think you guys ( Goldfinger ) are doing a great thing with the helmets every little thing helps down the road for the kids 👍👏👏👏

How about an update on expat John.?.

Goldfinger: where are you renting? 22K, 20 meter pool, 2 bdrms. Sounds like a great place!😊

'Grab some girls' ... always a good idea, so maybe you need a few to serve you and your guests drinks while you record? Just a thought... Volunteering is the best way to get a seat on the bus to Heaven in my opinion, thus I''ve assisted people whenever I could. LOSE THE DOG! OOPSIE! Ha! Rush hour in the Philippines? No thanks! Good information for anyone thinking about moving to the Philippines. Thanks for sharing this, Paul.

Awesome, good wisdom! My goal to get there sometime if everything goes well! Good luck guys!

I've been watching your videos the past few months. Just noticed that I haven't subscribed yet. Feeling silly. lol. Your contents are interesting. The three of you are cool guys. Funny with a heart. Thanks for choosing the Philippines as your home away from home. Thanks for those helmets. Btw, you can find cheap places to live in Tagaytay or near Tagaytay, you just have to know where to look, find someone who can help that you can trust. Even where to find food as well. It's not too far from diving sites if I am not mistaken. Better infrastructure the past few years.

Good conversation, guys ! Thanks ! Never heard Daryl talk so much... 😂

Always a fun video , thanks guys , and Philippine Airlines has flights from Cebu to Baguio

Hahahahaha, tell that to the world, filipina ladies are INDEPENDENT, AND FAMILY IS IMPORTANT TO THEM... THANKS FOR YOUR EXPLANATION..

I remember in my Province. Nueva Ecija.a Mans 50 year old above ,early in the morning about 5 am get together and tackling in the front of fire 🔥 of leaves tree while drinking coffee..i enjoyed to watch your video bro .God bless

you guys ! ,, make my day !

Hey guys don't quote me on this but I think there are some companies in the Philippines that build prefab homes for the United States. If you could get a hold of one of them built to US standards and just sit it on a piece of property you'd have it good. If you decide to move somewhere else just buy or lease another piece of property, more than likely the prefab can be taken down and moved to that property.

Good on you guys. Glad to hear ya both got hooked up (insert joke here about Darren and Ladyboy gal pal, for the last time).... Keep it up Goldfinger, there will undoubtedly be many lives saved from devastation along the way, God Bless you brother. Peace and Love, B Goat

I was looking forward to helping Goldy out at the school Paul but the govt decree forced me to spend the day with my missus extended family instead....... Oh the humanity I'm sure I've got PTSD now lol.

"The Village Idiots" needs to be a regular sitcom!🤣🤣🤣

"I had two car loads of people." I think Paul just likes picking up girls!😂

"You Goldfingered Her" Hahhahaha.

Yawl are a great inspiration. Proceed :)

Another great video Paul.

Great video thanks guys take care

Great video, thank you.

I just became a member Paul Do i get to talk more ❤

Love to hear about from with Gold finger

Hey , Paul you are truly funny !!🤣😂😆😁 I learn much watching your videos ! Thank you !!!

love watching from you 3. great on the helmets.

Be seeing you guys soon. Nice vid.

The Usual Suspects ,very good,,do some more chat vids. thanks

Talking about safety and really what is needed is EMTs in the ambulances and basic medical equipment to get people stabilized. That's the kind of business that could really pay off and save hundreds of lives a year.

Goldie your GOLDEN. Funny as F%#*!!!

The name "Gold Finger" is some James Bond stuff😆

Good conversations guys!!! I am with you on if you are married, and you are happy where you are at, build a house.

It was great seeing all of you together it a great gesture that Goldfinger is doing with the helmets for the kids

You 3 Village Idiots make the best videos 😂

Happy Thankgiving Paul

Gold finger is a rock star . He has lots of chrisma .

GREAT VIDEO PAUL. Goldfinger is a interesting old fart. i think that a open ended live stream would be a hit. Paul why dont you do that some day? As far a smoking is concerned i know that you are dying for a cigarette when youve been live for a hour so why dont you just quietly step away for 5 minutes and just slip back into the stream. i know about the cigs as i smoked for 30 years. so just do what you gotta do. no explanation needed. and you will be in a good mood all the way thru it.

I loved it Paul ❤❤❤❤❤❤

happy thanksgiving, God Bless.

😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😊

I took the Dale Carnegie class. How to win friends and influence people. I wasn’t a fan. 😂 helps if you have the gift of gab 🤪 sup Paul 👋🏻

You should consider Bacolod. It is easy to get around in and only 4km from downtown and you are in a rural area

In Manila area the driver and the person behind the driver must have both helmets and not allowed 3 people in a motorbike I don't know why the Mayor or Governor doesn't do that rules there...Provinces Government are sleeping...

You meet good friends in the Philippines.

THERE'S NO TYPHOON ANYWHERE NEAR THERE.

Happy bonding guys and thank you for sharing your everyday life in the Philippines. Good conversation and you guys appreciate the people in the Philippines.

Thanks!

Try visit Siargao very beautiful place loads of young foriegners.

goldfinger is the man.

Go to Quezon province little bit up north same weather of tagaytay and alot cheaper.

there's a flight from cebu to baguio twice a week.

Like in China. The transportation needs are so great along with a person's wages make it difficult to enforce certain laws

Hi Paul, why succinctly talk to the visa issuing folks at the U.S. Embassy. Most wives of expats., don’t want to live in the U.S., but certainly would like to visit. Why such a difficult time in getting a tourist visa, when married to a Filipina, and residing in the Philippines ? Not talking about girlfriends, but a serious husband and wife relationship.

Constant political junk in the US. Even when you’re watching something that has zero to do with politics. It’s exhausting.

Paul, I remember in one video your original plan to do more traveiling (like vietname, thailand, malaysia, etc). is that still in the plan? just wondering
