    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. 🙏🏻

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!

    I remember well John's story from your channel and I'm delighted to hear that he's really done amazing things in getting his life together after having such a difficult time. He must have the resilience of a Filipino. . Well done John and well done too, to those that had the resources and the kindness to step in.

    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!
