John is tougher than the naysayers gave him credit. Many a man would have buckled under similar circumstances. Two strokes on record and still plugging on? He’s a hero in my book. Thank you Paul for bringing the human being that you are. It’s the Christian creed to look out for others and you are holding up your end of the bargain. 🙏🏻

Now that you do have money they might try to 'sweet up' to you again.... Don't buy it! Please protect yourself this time from the psychological hell they put you through last time... Wishing you the best of luck moving foreword. Peace brother.

From probably the lowest point of his life, he made such a rather impressive self-rehabilitation and recovery. I guess most of us were somewhat skeptical if he would even be able to support himself. He proved to be a survivor and overcomer. Praise God.

I’m so delighted to hear John’s life has turned around for him and that his life is coming together. My Childrens grandfather lived (there in his mid 40’s) married a Filipina lady and had children. I remember that when times were hard, they were really hard for him. He died a wealthy man but his stories of the tough times at the beginning, were always his party piece at family gatherings. It’s a tough tough life if there’s no cash left. Well done to everyone who showed compassion and empathy for his plight and a huge well done to John for doing what had to be done in the end. It must have been really tough for him to leave his family but it’s all part and parcel of having no food if you have no work. His plight was no different from the thousands of Filipina women who leave their children at home and go over to Hong Kong to work (to send money back.) I admire those women so much. The moral of Johns story? Sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to do, so that our family can survive. I always say: There but for the grace of God, go I. I’m truly thankful for my modest life and I’m very happy that Johns life seems to be back on track. Thank you for posting this. ❤❤❤

My brain, my heart, and my lower trouble making brain. So one needs to stop and reevaluate why I made this decision. So thanks John for telling your story. John has done and grown more in the last couple years than most do in a lifetime. I hope you read this John, your a good man! You just do you and do your best for those beautiful girls. They are your legacy. Thanks for the great follow up story Paul! Take care and God bless!

I will tell you this Paul, I am truly glad that you retold this story about John. I am a "Pre-John" future expat that is looking for a way to make it to the Philippines. I am just turning 53, and I have decided that I want to look into moving there, as I am sure millions of others, but I am doing it. We hear about the successes of men my age, and the failures. There also is a blueprint and tons of information on KZbin with videos and vlogs about what to do, and what not to do before arriving. Also tons of information about what to do once you arrive and work on getting settled in. I haven't seen much with video vlogs and series about the journey being told, other then these recounting of individuals once they made it or not. Has anyone seen a channel, or vlog series that might help, inspire, or be a cautionary tale of someone who dreams of an early crossing and settling as an expat? One that doesn't have large sums of money, or have an established remote job. Another beautiful aspect of the Philippines, aside from its people and majestic islands, is this extraordinary expat community! Yes there are quite a few bad actors, and others that might take the community off the list from being anointed into sainthood, but it is a strong and diverse one. Why wouldn't, myself, and countless others wish to become part of this brotherhood. I will be visiting several times beforehand, but as of right now, I am set, and working towards my own blueprint. But I hope to see if there is a niche that I could find about a first person ongoing story, or maybe create one?? Regardless, John, my brother, you are an inspiration of what a true Man amongst men. I pray for you, and your family, and hope that this will inspire others, that might be heading down that possible road in life, as to 'Man Up', own your your mistakes, take responsibility, and persevere in regards to you, your family, and your dream here in the Philippines. Awesome story, and awesome channel Paul. Thank you,

Paul, my highest respect to you for using your channel to network and especially helping your fellow Americans. It was a huge success story. You and Q Adventures are real patriots! Keep doing what you are doin and please dont get tired of helping. It is very important that all expats or Americans married to Filipina should have a strong support system whatever part of the Philippines. Filipina are the best wives in the world. I know that for sure.. but it is sometimes there are people will take advantage and heartless human beings to put down others..crab mentality syndrome. Thank you to you!! Thank you for helping also Q adventures to help the senior man to go back to London because of your networks you were able to help the old man fix his social security problem. I hope many more expats and american will have a sense of Band of Brothers mindset like you Paul and the Q adventures. Maraming salamat at Mabuhay kayong lahat!

As you say Paul he went home did what he had to do. Put in place plans and procedures for the future and I hope everything works out well for the family. As for the "armchair" experts and critics..Well.. it's all too easy to judge others often to make themselves feel better. It doesn't serve much of a purpose. I think John was, in the circumstances, both brave and gracious in sharing his story hopefully to help others.

Man that’s awesome, I can’t believe it’s been that long, but I am glad to hear he is back with his family. Honestly, without you and the others there, I don’t think he would still be alive. You guys did an amazing thing. You are a good man, Paul.

Hello Paul, I am so proud of John and of you, and I hope that you will feel some pride in yourself. You have been a great friend and mentor for him and for many others, including myself. I have followed John's story here with you since the beginning. I am retiring and plan to visit the Philippines for 6 months beginning in August of this year. I hope to meet you at some point during that trip. I will reach out to you when the time gets closer. Good luck to you in all you do, and please keep up the fantastic work that you are doing!
