"All good things must come to an end." But this isn't the end for Angel, it's only the beginning. Anyone "hating" on a 12yo girl's channel needs to seek professional help for THEIR mental illnesses. I wish this little lady all the best in the future, and thank you Q for bringing us this delightful lady.
I'm a bit sad this is her last on your channel sir, I see it so unique that you're actually guiding her through towards her journey to a bright future..🙏🙏❤❤❤
Derek, absolutely honor the way you are setting up and mentoring this absolutely adorable Angel and family! Keep up the great paying it forward attitude! Looking forward to helping hit the record o Gels channel!!
Gel is very special for sure but the real rockstars are her parents that made her what she is, the province is full of very special humble children and they are all a part of the community of very humble and gracious people, I am so impressed with the Philippines and the province culture and cannot wait to visit
I'm pleased about your very non-exploitative approach to your subjects, and in fact giving back way more than you gained and setting things up for success to grow after you're out of the picture. Very unique and forward-thinking.
I'm 100% ALL IN! and ahead of ya, been watching both long vids of Gel multiple times all day not skipping ads and will do the same on your girls channel and Gel's. Gel is going to be a star as long as she sticks with it and stays consistent. Peace! and thanks for bringing us along.
Derek, first of all, thank you for introducing Gel and her family. You two do some amazing work. Some thoughts. The amazing Gel got the way she is without any real outside help or influence. Never is this more illustrated than in the way she was communicating (in her own special way) to you and trying so hard to get everything right and for your approval. Example: she would say something like, " I can share you here. I can share you the place." Or: " It is a little bit of far. Do you want to go there?" It is these little miscues that make her appear vulnerable and that are so endearing to her viewers. She doesn't have to be perfect. She needs to be allowed to make these little 'mistakes'. On this concern, you show a lot of foresight by deciding to step back and letting her progress and grow at her own pace. When you two start to build the intro to her channel, please take some clips from your first video encounter with Gel. These will help tell her story in the most special way; as you first saw her. And these will be encounters that everyone can re-live each time they sign in. For instance (and apart from the ones already mentioned), these gems: "Do you want to go to the garden? I'll show you." And when you first step out of the trees--on the way to her garden--she simply says in her own understated way, "Look at the view". Then this incredible mountain and garden scene--that you captured so well--unfolds before us. When you ask her why she thinks people from our country go to the Philippines, she once again nails it: " I think to enjoy and visit the beautiful view". These kinds of observations show that she has been insulated and shaped by her own community. Once she starts to produce her own content, I feel certain that she will prove this over and again. This is what we all recognize has made her such a terrific find and a gift to all of us. She is not at all, worldly, and doesn't need to trend in that direction. I think we have all seen instances of a precocious child (young entertainer, child actor) being leveraged as a 'small adult' . This NEVER works. So when you start thinking about a name for her channel and the (so important) intro, it could focus on these themes: "Danao Dreaming, one girls journey", "Gel's Philippine garden in the sky", "Gel's Mountain...I'll show you", These are the kinds of themes that can explain someone like her and keep her grounded. The perfect ending to the intro could be no better than her invitation to you--you were asking about those mountains--(and to each of her viewers) to come back: "Maybe next time you can explore, there. I know that place."
All you said is relevant and a gold mine. Where are you? If you are local, may I buy you a meal to get more insight from you? If you are afar, can you send me a message via messenger? I would love to share a conversation as I am not perfect. Only doing my best. But your input include some that I have overlooked and you can help a lot with your input. Check and balance
Well done for introducing this amazing girl to the world, we've all fallen in love with her! And also for bringing a little bit of happiness to her family and the community too. You absolutely did the right thing by quietly backing away and letting Gel do her thing her way, her channel will fly for definite.

I love foreigners who are kind and just love making Filipino specially kids happy. Thank you so much for making these kids has such a great memories. I’m working hard here in the US that once I retired I can continue sharing my blessings. Having kids here in the US quiet expensive especially they are in different sports so we can just afford to share our blessing every December. Mabuhay to you and your honey pie.
Sir Derek, thank to you for helping Gel, (she's super intelligent) also i like to credit her parents for her upbringing, they doing such a wonderful job, God bless you all...
Shes such a sweet girl, I have no doubt people are going to absolutely adore her I know I do, I sincerely wish her all the best and even tho it is a bit belated now a very happy birthday. Also the best of luck to her with her channel, I promise to tune in once she gets everything up and running.
Everything seems to be moving pretty fast, hope she can handle all this new found attention, she's from very humble and sheltered background. I hope people in the family don't have too high of financial expectations, UA-cam audience is a very finicky one.
Gel will only create content 1 day out of the week as she is a 12 year old student Everything else will be handled by a team of adults that is already in place
I follow your adventures and I would like to commend you for all the charities that you are doing within your community. I hope that your stay there will be successful and will give you happiness! I will follow GEL when she’s ready and hope that she’ll be successful also without sacrificing her studies. PLEASE BE A GOOD MENTOR to her and I pray for all things that is good to come your name.
name of her channel I suggest "ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL" because soon she will start to fly in life and her videos will show her progress in every aspect. Her new channel will propel her rise to celebrity status and I hope she will remain sweet, caring and humble despite success. This project will primarily benefit Angel's family but who knows it might also benefit other families in the mountain village.
That's beautiful, Bon. I will continue to mentor her through and through. She WILL definitely help her community as she is already sharing her internet service with her schoolmates for free. Her reasoning was my channel supporters blessed her with it and she needs to share the blessing. I teared up
Thanks very much for helping this good family. I wish them all the best in the future and Gel specially, Thanks also for the guidance you are providing including the warnings that they have to be aware of towards the start of her channel, this is good advice for novice or new Vloggers.
husband speaking - great pool party - I've followed enough channels over the past six years, every one at times talk about the down side, and that you just block them if possible and do not take it personally. Some people just can't stand it when some one does well in their life so they try to spoil it. Thank you for the help you are giving.
I’ve subscribed after watching a few of your videos,my attention was lured by the people of the philopino and community, there customs and culture are unique I think. They are very kind and respectful, by the way, I watched the video of you meeting and helping Ken in so many ways , I could go on commenting and thanking you for opening your heart and home. I know most UA-cam channels do it for income and that’s awesome, but the ones like yourself, opening their heart and giving back, that’s the winner in my book. I love these kinds of stories and your wife, which by the way is a beautiful lady, I wish her many wonderful, joyful years in the making of her own videos, you do a great job at editing also, please! Continue doing what you’re doing,I so enjoy your channel and your stories, a little about me is I’m American, I’m retired and would love traveling and visiting other countries, but my wife has health problems that render her from doing such, I love her very much and she comes first before my desires, anyhow, we are not social people because of the crime in our area. Enough about me though, one thing I would ask is what is your wife and Angels channel ? I would love to follow them both. I’ll close now ,but before I go give us an update on Ken from San Diego and his health. I truly wished I could’ve helped him somehow,,but you changed his life for the better, literally. The videos of you helping him was just amazing. Very saddening to see him going through all that he was going through just to survive. Okay! If you do read this ,please give me some kind of remark or just a thumbs up, PLEASE! Thank you again for all you do.😊Daniel in USA
Hi Daniel. I am from Los Angeles, myself. You are a selfless man for putting your desires in the back burner for your wife. I applaud you. Gel's channel is @@mountainangeldiaries and Ai's channel has since been converted to our moto/drone vlog channel @QRiderz Thank you so much for your support
Q Adventure's you and your side kick are a good couple and thank you for sharing for the premier of Jel on her birthday and nice of you of helping her start her channel we help a few people like that nd it feel's so good to know that were able to help people who are eager to start their channel God bless and keep it goin'
Your being able to step back from a series of videos that practically guarantee a high viewer count speaks highly of you. While I loved the series on Gel, it was not enough to get me to subscribe. Your decision to step back and give her a ready made audience gained my subscription
Hello Derek, I just discovered your channel today and by chance I was fortunate enough to catch the Gel saga at the beginning when she charmed her way into everyone's hearts while she guided you to the family garden in the mountains. I saw eexactly what you saw and was instantly charmed as well. Gel is an amazing young girl. Of course I had to immediately bing watch the rest to see how her birthday went and was really sad to see how it all ended with you having to back away from her, although I respect why you dcided to and appreciate the explanation. At least Ai can continue to work with her a bit more and I'm sure you'll be present in the background on that. I hope when she comes to visit Ai that you and Ai are able to make her understand how good the content can be tell her story there on the mountain. Not from the point of view of "Look how poor life is here and how hard" but rather from the perspective how good and nice the people are in spite of that and how they are able to find ways to make a decent enough life with what they have. There is loads of untapped content potential there as most of what I see on other channels about the Phillipeans is about how cheaply foreigners can live there and how male foreigners can score a young beautiful wife because so many woman there are so desperate to tap into a better life. That content has it's place and done right isn't too bad but there is so, so much more that I don't see anyone really touching. I'm also reaching out to you in comments here (I hope you read your comments) because I was really bothered by the plastic friends and the bullying aspect of Gel's storey. I would like someone to point out to Gel that the bullies are really projecting their own felings onto Gel when they say those things. The look at her and her best qualities and think "what would hurt my feelings if I were her and someone said mean things to me?" So when they say she's ugly it really means they think she's pretty, when they say she's fat it really means they think she's slender, when they say she's stupid they really think she's smart which should be obvious to Gel because of all the people who are nice to her so they can copy of her and the fact she's averaging around 94%, that's a straight A student here in the US. Also when they say she's poor, her bullies are likely just as poor as her but Gel is rich in ways they would never understand. The way Gel is rich iss in all the ways that she charmed you in that first video, with her respect, her, thoughtfulness, her kindness etc. She's spiritually rich and that's a richness nobody can take away from her. It would be so wonderful if you and Ai could help her become a UA-cam sensation I too see the potential and imagine the wonderful transformmmation that could make in her family's life and in her own life for knowing she was able to do that for her family. So please teach her as well as you can. Even though you have to remove yourself from her as far as your own content there will be grat blessings for you and Ai in the future if you can help Gel be what both you and I think she can be. Oh and my idea for Gel's channel name is either Angelic Perspective or even just Angelic.
I read every word, Mark. I appreciate that you see my vision with such precision. Gel and her family cam by yesterday to make some contents with Ai and I was working effortlessly with her father to get her channel up and all the precautionary steps that I felt mandatory. We are just about 70% done but they had to leave this afternoon. I also have a subscriber who is a web developer who reached out offering to donate his expertise in his rightful field. I have a scheduled call with him in about 48 hrs to go over ideas. In regards to Gel, I will always be in her life as a mentor. She has a heart of gold and pursue philanthropy at her young age. In regards to the bullying and stuff... we do guide her but she's 12 at the end of the day. She will always have things to be self conscious or insecure about. But I feel he have it well monitored and continue to mentor and give her proper guidance. I love subscribers like yourself to take time out of your day to be so concise... I am grateful 🙏🫶😊
@@qadventures I'm glad to hear the things you say in your reply, Gel in my opinion is a rare treasure in this world (although I'm sure many other undiscovered similar treasures exist in this world) in that her innocense is unspoiled by the realities more worldly people like ourselves are all too aware of, unfortunately. It gives me comfort to know that you and Ai will continue to be working closely with her well into the future to help protect her and to help her family know how to protect her. After seeing how the relatively mild bullying she experiences at school effects her it sends a cold chill down my spine to think of what the types of things trolls and haters say in comments might do to her. As far as the bullies go, I do realize that being so young and innocent she will always have things to be self concious about, or at least for a long time until she becomes older. I merely try to offer up a tool that helped me when I was young and had to suffer the taunts of bullies. It always bothered me that why would these people say such mean things unless there was something to it. It's easy to ignore when you're real friends and family tell you nice things because you expect them to be nce to you. No parent is ever going to tell their child "sorry dear but I hate to break it to you, you are ugly." So when they tell you you're not it's easy to think they're just saying that because they love you. In my own case it helped a lot to remove the sting from the bullies words when someone explained to me that they were really just picking the words that they felt would hurt them if they were me. That's all I'll say on the subject though, now that I know you an Ai will be watching over her a long time to come. I'll share one last thing with you. I'm 63 and living on disability, as such here in the US life is a struggle on the limited income I get from Social Security Disability Insurance. This led me to start looking into other places to live where my money might go farther and of course that led me to videos about the Philippines. So I've been seeing a lot of the typical content coming out about that part of the world and much of it is very disturbing. The poverty, the way women there basically sell themselves to try to get a better life and the foreigners and yes even UA-camrs who try to capitalize on all that for either their own personal desires or to promote their channels. Yet I also see there is a lot about the Philippines that is good and beautiful and equally worthy of being brought to the world's attention. So it is good to know that there are people like you there who see the good things too and try to promote that as well. Alas I will likely never make it to the Phillipines because while I could live more affordably there I doubt I could handle the climate and maintain my health with the health issues I have. Otherwise I might consider coming there and becoming a UA-camr myself to also promote the good things there. I don't know what your religious beliefs are but I pray God blesses you for the good works you're attempting to do there. Sorry for the long reply but if you get to know much about me you'll know such long replies are practically my signature. 😀
Please don't apologize. Your words are warming to hear. I do what I do because I care and I hope I make a small dent in the goodness of humanity. You take time to share, the least I can do is read and respond
Just discovered you and and Gel and am amazed at how lovable you both are! I have a possible girlfriend in the Davao city area and am hoping to fly there, and meet her soon. I watch at least 15 UA-cam videos on the wonders of the Phillipines and the beautiful, friendly people there, every day! I hope to meet you, and Gel someday, you are on my bucket list!
"Come chill with Gel" ... "Come along with Gel" ... "Come Adventure with Gel" .......... maybe one of Gels first series is learning to swim 🤔 .... Great job Q and Ai
Q's Angel. Davao Angel. Thank you for all you've done to enlighten this sweet girl. My favorite artist is Shania Soeganda Yan. She lives entirely on her UA-cam and other online videos. Hope Angel can find the same/similar success.
Gel deserves her Privacy, for she is under age, She can share her own Channel and be a happy child growing into adulthood. You can never get this opportunity in Vietnam, Philippines is a democratic Country we have freedom of Speech and 90% Christian as an Asian Country. Our country was base on the U.S.A. influence and since we were colonized by the United States that's why our English language is Americanize and westernized compared to other Asian Countries! Sometimes I think foreigners take advantage of our people thinking we are too naive because of our open minded, hospitable, friendly easy going nature, but not all Filipinos are like that, We are aware of what the foreigners intentions are, but some have a purpose.🇵🇭
I would love to visit, the Fillipinos are such beautiful, kind and friendly people, and you do a great job of showing this. Thank you for being such a perfect host. You have great content. Keep fighting the good fight.
Great job brother u did to show us about her, i eish u and to them the best in life, so proud to have a kind of human being like u, Angel n her family will be protected by PRIME CREATOR, ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, As well your family, u are an amazing person, keep doing it as i told u before, u will be reward from above🙏😇💙
Thank you. Very heart felt. Once Angel reaches success in her channel, I will feel rewarded. Meanwhile, I have other kids and young adults that need a boost also
Does your channel cover more of this particular place? I want to see more of it. Sorry, i discovered your channel yesterday so haven't had the opportunity to check all your videos yet. Got me curious.
That's ok. Thank you for your support. I put an emphasis on indigenous natural surroundings. Recently, my resources are more solid so I started pursuing philanthropy. I don't do touristy stuff. If I do, it's very rare and I have to find it fascinating enough
Thank you for your contribution to Gel's life. Hopefully the family's rural natural lifestyle will not be distracted by technology, eg internet and phones. When I watched the first video involving Gel and the other kids, it was very nice seeing everyone enjoying the nature and each others' company. However in later videos I noticed almost everyone was focusing on their own mobile devices with minimal interaction, ie at home when internet is available, reminding me of the lives of city dwellers. Not sure if that has been the family's lifestyle and as much as technology is important, I hope that Gel will learn to balance and cope well between digital lifestyle and real life social interaction.

Derek, Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime. 😁 Below is the name for her channel, I have thought about..; 👍 Chilling with Gel in the Philippines 🇵🇭
What a treat for the children. You are very kind and are to be congratulated for all you are doing for that little Angel! Didn't see your girlfriends link?
The old story of give fish eat for a day, teach to fish eat for life, this gift of Independence you give to Gel is worth far more than any amount of money 🙏👍
@@qadventures Something I realised many years ago is philanthropy doesn't have to be done with money (sure it's easier with money), giving your time to help or teach is a form of philanthropy, I give my time to mentor young it professionals and create open source software that many people benefit from, but if everyone used one of their skills or abilities (just like you are) to help others the world would be a better place without needing a lot of money to get there 👍
Mountain princess .. hahaha 😂 also I would like to suggest if you're viewers start now you could do something special for the whole community this coming Christmas. Would be nice to see the village have a community well or something that would benefit the village. Thank you for the wonderful videos sincerely Daniel Adkins
Province life with an AnGel, or Spend a day with an AnGel. I think you are doing this correctly Please have AI monitor her channel as she is a very young girl who looks a little older. I think you can make it so post have to be approved before they show or you can put key words in that keep them from posting until approved.
Yes Stan. All that has been mitigated. Ai, both her parents, and some of her school staffs will be involved full time while I continue to mentor her from afar and be fully involved if it's called for
Angel comes from a family that is living pretty good, they make money from their farms, they own cars and they have plenty of food to eat. It's the poor people in the city who are suffering.
Although I disagree with your observation, I do agree with you that there are worst. Angel's family does have a business that often have 1 peso margins for the banana chips, 4 pesos per kilo for bananas, etc. Despite the low margins, they create jobs for the young man with clef that you see in the video who would otherwise have no opportunities. For me... it's not about what someone has or lack, I stumbled across Angel by accident and learned that her potential is great. So I stop in to assist with a few necessities and mentor her to be independent so she and her family can further contribute to their community. I like to intervene when I meet people with the desire to help themselves
No, no. No bye bye. Pls stay tuned for updates on her own channel. You can support her by watching her channel. Help her become greatness so her family can help their own community, create jobs and such
Good. I didn't comment on the 1st couple of videos as apart of them being excellent, I was getting a little bit concerned regarding the exposure of this young lady (and her family). But you have got this well in hand.
"All good things must come to an end." But this isn't the end for Angel, it's only the beginning. Anyone "hating" on a 12yo girl's channel needs to seek professional help for THEIR mental illnesses. I wish this little lady all the best in the future, and thank you Q for bringing us this delightful lady.
You said it best. I HAD to choose diplomatic words, but I agree with you.
It will be a sin for me not to help when I know I can
Can we name the channel: an-GEL-lic being- a heavenly mountain paradise.
what's the difference between your hate and someone elses? you should get that plank removed from your eye
@@seabournewolf2298the difference is she is just a 12 yr old kid and you are just a hater adult ass person.
There is no cuter, polite little girl in all history. Her father and mother are a great example of great, loving parents. God bless them all. 💥
🙏😇😊🫶
That pool is amazing for those kids to have fun! So wonderful of you Derek - thank you so much!
I'm a bit sad this is her last on your channel sir, I see it so unique that you're actually guiding her through towards her journey to a bright future..🙏🙏❤❤❤
Yes. But I will continue to help her in the background and others could use similar help to push their personal life to the next level
@@qadventures I know I'm late but what about angel of the mountain, great videos. Much love from the Caribbean ❤❤❤
Kudos to you Derek for sharing this technology with Gel. This could be a life changing venture for her.
We are hoping so. No just for Gel, but the entire community
I think it's great what you did for Gel and getting her started on her journey to doing her own vlogging. You're a good man.
Thank you. It going to be a long journey but it makes me feel good
Derek, absolutely honor the way you are setting up and mentoring this absolutely adorable Angel and family! Keep up the great paying it forward attitude! Looking forward to helping hit the record o Gels channel!!
That brings tears.... thank you for taking part
Gel is very special for sure but the real rockstars are her parents that made her what she is, the province is full of very special humble children and they are all a part of the community of very humble and gracious people, I am so impressed with the Philippines and the province culture and cannot wait to visit
And the Philippines will welcome you. I also agree with the parents kudos
I'm pleased about your very non-exploitative approach to your subjects, and in fact giving back way more than you gained and setting things up for success to grow after you're out of the picture. Very unique and forward-thinking.
🙏thank you kindly. I also have the privilege of very supportive subscribers to assist along the way. Thank you
People like you & I give me hope for the future. May you have many happy days & adventures together.
🙏we already have our next adventure coming. We are just taking a few days to ourselves
I'm 100% ALL IN! and ahead of ya, been watching both long vids of Gel multiple times all day not skipping ads and will do the same on your girls channel and Gel's. Gel is going to be a star as long as she sticks with it and stays consistent. Peace! and thanks for bringing us along.
Consistency is key. Thank you 🙏
Sad to hear about the bullying,hope it doesn't get worse out of jealousy when she starts her own channel.
No. She has the huge network of support now. All the adults at the dinner with the pig are her teachers and school officials
Kids will be kids.
Derek, first of all, thank you for introducing Gel and her family. You two do some amazing work. Some thoughts. The amazing Gel got the way she is without any real outside help or influence. Never is this more illustrated than in the way she was communicating (in her own special way) to you and trying so hard to get everything right and for your approval. Example: she would say something like, " I can share you here. I can share you the place." Or: " It is a little bit of far. Do you want to go there?"
It is these little miscues that make her appear vulnerable and that are so endearing to her viewers. She doesn't have to be perfect. She needs to be allowed to make these little 'mistakes'. On this concern, you show a lot of foresight by deciding to step back and letting her progress and grow at her own pace.
When you two start to build the intro to her channel, please take some clips from your first video encounter with Gel. These will help tell her story in the most special way; as you first saw her. And these will be encounters that everyone can re-live each time they sign in.
For instance (and apart from the ones already mentioned), these gems: "Do you want to go to the garden? I'll show you."
And when you first step out of the trees--on the way to her garden--she simply says in her own understated way, "Look at the view". Then this incredible mountain and garden scene--that you captured so well--unfolds before us.
When you ask her why she thinks people from our country go to the Philippines, she once again nails it: " I think to enjoy and visit the beautiful view".
These kinds of observations show that she has been insulated and shaped by her own community. Once she starts to produce her own content, I feel certain that she will prove this over and again.
This is what we all recognize has made her such a terrific find and a gift to all of us. She is not at all, worldly, and doesn't need to trend in that direction. I think we have all seen instances of a precocious child (young entertainer, child actor) being leveraged as a 'small adult' . This NEVER works.
So when you start thinking about a name for her channel and the (so important) intro, it could focus on these themes:
"Danao Dreaming, one girls journey", "Gel's Philippine garden in the sky", "Gel's Mountain...I'll show you", These are the kinds of themes that can explain someone like her and keep her grounded.
The perfect ending to the intro could be no better than her invitation to you--you were asking about those mountains--(and to each of her viewers) to come back: "Maybe next time you can explore, there. I know that place."
All you said is relevant and a gold mine. Where are you? If you are local, may I buy you a meal to get more insight from you? If you are afar, can you send me a message via messenger? I would love to share a conversation as I am not perfect. Only doing my best. But your input include some that I have overlooked and you can help a lot with your input. Check and balance
Hi Derek. Do you have e-mail?

Too lovely
Thanks for helping her grow she's amazingly beautiful ❤
She's a gem. I will do my best to not let her nor the community down
Angel is such a sweet girl. Thank you for the video

Amen. For about $40 a month per kid, we can afford to sponsor a few kids' college education
Sir Derek, thank to you for helping Gel, (she's super intelligent) also i like to credit her parents for her upbringing, they doing such a wonderful job, God bless you all...
The parents are great. I'm learning a lot from them
Shes such a sweet girl, I have no doubt people are going to absolutely adore her I know I do, I sincerely wish her all the best and even tho it is a bit belated now a very happy birthday. Also the best of luck to her with her channel, I promise to tune in once she gets everything up and running.

I follow your adventures and I would like to commend you for all the charities that you are doing within your community. I hope that your stay there will be successful and will give you happiness! I will follow GEL when she’s ready and hope that she’ll be successful also without sacrificing her studies. PLEASE BE A GOOD MENTOR to her and I pray for all things that is good to come your name.
I promise to do my best. Thank you.
And a good time was had by all. Enjoyed seeing everyone having a great time. Thank you!
Thank you for supporting my channel to make this event possible 🙏
Wow, Derek! That pool is amazing. It looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere.
Literally, it was
name of her channel I suggest "ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL" because soon she will start to fly in life and her videos will show her progress in every aspect. Her new channel will propel her rise to celebrity status and I hope she will remain sweet, caring and humble despite success. This project will primarily benefit Angel's family but who knows it might also benefit other families in the mountain village.
That's beautiful, Bon. I will continue to mentor her through and through. She WILL definitely help her community as she is already sharing her internet service with her schoolmates for free. Her reasoning was my channel supporters blessed her with it and she needs to share the blessing. I teared up
@@qadventures Wow !
Thanks very much for helping this good family. I wish them all the best in the future and Gel specially, Thanks also for the guidance you are providing including the warnings that they have to be aware of towards the start of her channel, this is good advice for novice or new Vloggers.
Thank you... please also support her upcoming channel. Stay tuned for updates and links
i was very impressed with the father who takes part and has fun with the kids i don't see that to often there
We get along so well as he is a man child like I. He relates to the kids and play in the pool like a kid. Good man
I look forward to subscribing to Gel's new channel. I wish her much success!

husband speaking - great pool party - I've followed enough channels over the past six years, every one at times
talk about the down side, and that you just block them if possible and do not take it personally. Some people just
can't stand it when some one does well in their life so they try to spoil it. Thank you for the help you are giving.
thank you for supporting my channel
I love that shot of her with her father!!!
You can she that she has a great family and father
Exceptional...🫶
Gel is a great addition to the UA-cam viewers,you did that bro
I have been following Gel's progress since the humble mountain tour and it it all great
🙏👌😇🫶
Thank you for another great video and good luck to gel. I’m sure she will make good content with such a great person and family looking after her. 😊
😎🫶🙏
What a wonderful idea. Thank you again for the simple things in life many don't pay attention to .
I've gained a lot of wisdom with this small series. She is, indeed, an angel
"Jelling with Gel" or "Jell with Gel" would be a really great name for her channel imo.
👍😊🙏
Your doing the right thing… all 3 of you
🙏❤️😊
I’ve subscribed after watching a few of your videos,my attention was lured by the people of the philopino and community, there customs and culture are unique I think. They are very kind and respectful, by the way, I watched the video of you meeting and helping Ken in so many ways , I could go on commenting and thanking you for opening your heart and home. I know most UA-cam channels do it for income and that’s awesome, but the ones like yourself, opening their heart and giving back, that’s the winner in my book. I love these kinds of stories and your wife, which by the way is a beautiful lady, I wish her many wonderful, joyful years in the making of her own videos, you do a great job at editing also, please! Continue doing what you’re doing,I so enjoy your channel and your stories, a little about me is I’m American, I’m retired and would love traveling and visiting other countries, but my wife has health problems that render her from doing such, I love her very much and she comes first before my desires, anyhow, we are not social people because of the crime in our area. Enough about me though, one thing I would ask is what is your wife and Angels channel ? I would love to follow them both. I’ll close now ,but before I go give us an update on Ken from San Diego and his health. I truly wished I could’ve helped him somehow,,but you changed his life for the better, literally. The videos of you helping him was just amazing. Very saddening to see him going through all that he was going through just to survive. Okay! If you do read this ,please give me some kind of remark or just a thumbs up, PLEASE! Thank you again for all you do.😊Daniel in USA
Hi Daniel. I am from Los Angeles, myself. You are a selfless man for putting your desires in the back burner for your wife. I applaud you.
Gel's channel is @@mountainangeldiaries and Ai's channel has since been converted to our moto/drone vlog channel @QRiderz
Thank you so much for your support
Thank you! And God bless your path
kindness is priceless ..it comes from the bottom of the heart ❤❤❤
It's satisfying
Q Adventure's you and your side kick are a good couple and thank you for sharing for the premier of Jel on her birthday and nice of you of helping her start her channel we help a few people like that nd it feel's so good to know that were able to help people who are eager to start their channel God bless and keep it goin'
Thank you Anhar. Good to have support from your own peers🙏❤️
Love what you are doing. Keep up the great work. I think Jel will be a star. Keep us updated.
Of course
Your being able to step back from a series of videos that practically guarantee a high viewer count speaks highly of you.
While I loved the series on Gel, it was not enough to get me to subscribe.
Your decision to step back and give her a ready made audience gained my subscription
This is also what earned my sub.
Wow!!! You just made me emotional with your validation that I did the right thing. Thank you
Thank you🙏
That is so nice to help the young people out
Hoping they can take directions and become independent
Hello Derek, I just discovered your channel today and by chance I was fortunate enough to catch the Gel saga at the beginning when she charmed her way into everyone's hearts while she guided you to the family garden in the mountains. I saw eexactly what you saw and was instantly charmed as well. Gel is an amazing young girl. Of course I had to immediately bing watch the rest to see how her birthday went and was really sad to see how it all ended with you having to back away from her, although I respect why you dcided to and appreciate the explanation. At least Ai can continue to work with her a bit more and I'm sure you'll be present in the background on that. I hope when she comes to visit Ai that you and Ai are able to make her understand how good the content can be tell her story there on the mountain. Not from the point of view of "Look how poor life is here and how hard" but rather from the perspective how good and nice the people are in spite of that and how they are able to find ways to make a decent enough life with what they have. There is loads of untapped content potential there as most of what I see on other channels about the Phillipeans is about how cheaply foreigners can live there and how male foreigners can score a young beautiful wife because so many woman there are so desperate to tap into a better life. That content has it's place and done right isn't too bad but there is so, so much more that I don't see anyone really touching. I'm also reaching out to you in comments here (I hope you read your comments) because I was really bothered by the plastic friends and the bullying aspect of Gel's storey. I would like someone to point out to Gel that the bullies are really projecting their own felings onto Gel when they say those things. The look at her and her best qualities and think "what would hurt my feelings if I were her and someone said mean things to me?" So when they say she's ugly it really means they think she's pretty, when they say she's fat it really means they think she's slender, when they say she's stupid they really think she's smart which should be obvious to Gel because of all the people who are nice to her so they can copy of her and the fact she's averaging around 94%, that's a straight A student here in the US. Also when they say she's poor, her bullies are likely just as poor as her but Gel is rich in ways they would never understand. The way Gel is rich iss in all the ways that she charmed you in that first video, with her respect, her, thoughtfulness, her kindness etc. She's spiritually rich and that's a richness nobody can take away from her. It would be so wonderful if you and Ai could help her become a UA-cam sensation I too see the potential and imagine the wonderful transformmmation that could make in her family's life and in her own life for knowing she was able to do that for her family. So please teach her as well as you can. Even though you have to remove yourself from her as far as your own content there will be grat blessings for you and Ai in the future if you can help Gel be what both you and I think she can be. Oh and my idea for Gel's channel name is either Angelic Perspective or even just Angelic.
I read every word, Mark. I appreciate that you see my vision with such precision. Gel and her family cam by yesterday to make some contents with Ai and I was working effortlessly with her father to get her channel up and all the precautionary steps that I felt mandatory. We are just about 70% done but they had to leave this afternoon. I also have a subscriber who is a web developer who reached out offering to donate his expertise in his rightful field. I have a scheduled call with him in about 48 hrs to go over ideas.
In regards to Gel, I will always be in her life as a mentor. She has a heart of gold and pursue philanthropy at her young age.
In regards to the bullying and stuff... we do guide her but she's 12 at the end of the day. She will always have things to be self conscious or insecure about. But I feel he have it well monitored and continue to mentor and give her proper guidance.
I love subscribers like yourself to take time out of your day to be so concise... I am grateful 🙏🫶😊
@@qadventures I'm glad to hear the things you say in your reply, Gel in my opinion is a rare treasure in this world (although I'm sure many other undiscovered similar treasures exist in this world) in that her innocense is unspoiled by the realities more worldly people like ourselves are all too aware of, unfortunately. It gives me comfort to know that you and Ai will continue to be working closely with her well into the future to help protect her and to help her family know how to protect her. After seeing how the relatively mild bullying she experiences at school effects her it sends a cold chill down my spine to think of what the types of things trolls and haters say in comments might do to her. As far as the bullies go, I do realize that being so young and innocent she will always have things to be self concious about, or at least for a long time until she becomes older. I merely try to offer up a tool that helped me when I was young and had to suffer the taunts of bullies. It always bothered me that why would these people say such mean things unless there was something to it. It's easy to ignore when you're real friends and family tell you nice things because you expect them to be nce to you. No parent is ever going to tell their child "sorry dear but I hate to break it to you, you are ugly." So when they tell you you're not it's easy to think they're just saying that because they love you. In my own case it helped a lot to remove the sting from the bullies words when someone explained to me that they were really just picking the words that they felt would hurt them if they were me. That's all I'll say on the subject though, now that I know you an Ai will be watching over her a long time to come. I'll share one last thing with you. I'm 63 and living on disability, as such here in the US life is a struggle on the limited income I get from Social Security Disability Insurance. This led me to start looking into other places to live where my money might go farther and of course that led me to videos about the Philippines. So I've been seeing a lot of the typical content coming out about that part of the world and much of it is very disturbing. The poverty, the way women there basically sell themselves to try to get a better life and the foreigners and yes even UA-camrs who try to capitalize on all that for either their own personal desires or to promote their channels. Yet I also see there is a lot about the Philippines that is good and beautiful and equally worthy of being brought to the world's attention. So it is good to know that there are people like you there who see the good things too and try to promote that as well. Alas I will likely never make it to the Phillipines because while I could live more affordably there I doubt I could handle the climate and maintain my health with the health issues I have. Otherwise I might consider coming there and becoming a UA-camr myself to also promote the good things there. I don't know what your religious beliefs are but I pray God blesses you for the good works you're attempting to do there. Sorry for the long reply but if you get to know much about me you'll know such long replies are practically my signature. 😀
Please don't apologize. Your words are warming to hear. I do what I do because I care and I hope I make a small dent in the goodness of humanity. You take time to share, the least I can do is read and respond
Just discovered you and and Gel and am amazed at how lovable you both are! I have a possible girlfriend in the Davao city area and am hoping to fly there, and meet her soon. I watch at least 15 UA-cam videos on the wonders of the Phillipines and the beautiful, friendly people there, every day! I hope to meet you, and Gel someday, you are on my bucket list!
"Come chill with Gel" ... "Come along with Gel" ... "Come Adventure with Gel" .......... maybe one of Gels first series is learning to swim 🤔 .... Great job Q and Ai
This is gold. "Come Chill With Gel is catchy and casual
@@qadventures glad to help your Lil' Protegé ....and I'll Sub & Like every chance I get
Q's Angel. Davao Angel. Thank you for all you've done to enlighten this sweet girl. My favorite artist is Shania Soeganda Yan. She lives entirely on her UA-cam and other online videos. Hope Angel can find the same/similar success.
With your participation, I have no doubt she will.
Gel deserves her Privacy, for she is under age, She can share her own Channel and be a happy child growing into adulthood. You can never get this opportunity in Vietnam, Philippines is a democratic Country we have freedom of Speech and 90% Christian as an Asian Country. Our country was base on the U.S.A. influence and since we were colonized by the United States that's why our English language is Americanize and westernized compared to other Asian Countries! Sometimes I think foreigners take advantage of our people thinking we are too naive because of our open minded, hospitable, friendly easy going nature, but not all Filipinos are like that, We are aware of what the foreigners intentions are, but some have a purpose.🇵🇭
All great points
I would love to visit, the Fillipinos are such beautiful, kind and friendly people, and you do a great job of showing this. Thank you for being such a perfect host. You have great content. Keep fighting the good fight.
I am so grateful for your support, James
Very impressive and pretty Angel.. You did a greate job in mentoring her..
🙏🫶😊
Great job brother u did to show us about her, i eish u and to them the best in life, so proud to have a kind of human being like u, Angel n her family will be protected by PRIME CREATOR, ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, As well your family, u are an amazing person, keep doing it as i told u before, u will be reward from above🙏😇💙
Thank you. Very heart felt. Once Angel reaches success in her channel, I will feel rewarded. Meanwhile, I have other kids and young adults that need a boost also
@@qadventures ofc we will support her as most as we can, she deserved to live better, GOD be with all of u🙏😇💙
God Bless your good hearts forever. Thank you. “Mountain Life with Gel”
Ooo.. that's a good one. Thank you
Does your channel cover more of this particular place? I want to see more of it. Sorry, i discovered your channel yesterday so haven't had the opportunity to check all your videos yet. Got me curious.
That's ok. Thank you for your support. I put an emphasis on indigenous natural surroundings. Recently, my resources are more solid so I started pursuing philanthropy. I don't do touristy stuff. If I do, it's very rare and I have to find it fascinating enough
This kid has a very bright future very brilliant and smart and very kind hearted too
She dies. Please help contribute to it by subscribing to her very own channel coming mid July. Pls stay tuned for updates
i love how happy this little ganda pinay always is
Infectious
Thank you for your contribution to Gel's life. Hopefully the family's rural natural lifestyle will not be distracted by technology, eg internet and phones. When I watched the first video involving Gel and the other kids, it was very nice seeing everyone enjoying the nature and each others' company. However in later videos I noticed almost everyone was focusing on their own mobile devices with minimal interaction, ie at home when internet is available, reminding me of the lives of city dwellers. Not sure if that has been the family's lifestyle and as much as technology is important, I hope that Gel will learn to balance and cope well between digital lifestyle and real life social interaction.
Wow!!! It didn't even cross my mind
You 2 are angels yourself!!
Thank you Greg. Please support Gel's upcoming channel to be released mid July. Stay tuned for updates
You are a good man, God bless you
Humanity is awesome. I am just contributing a small part
I like the name Mountain Angel the best, I think people will be able to tell the difference between Gel and other channels.
I agree. The other channel only has 53 or so subscribers and doesn't look active
Gel, the Mountain Bell. You have a great sense of ethics.
Thank you. Helps me sleep like a baby at night
I guess this is My first time to watch a long vlog. I admire Gel and you. Thank you for helping her, and other pinoy. More power on your chanel

Oh, as a side note, you might consider adding yourself and Ai as "moderators" so the two of you can also monitor her channel in the background.
We were towards the beginning, but her parents took over and I respect their space
Thats a nice pool!
❤️😎
Derek,
Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime. 😁
Below is the name for her channel,
I have thought about..; 👍
Chilling with Gel in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Precisely my goal. I am only targeting the younger generation that has motivation to help themselves
Thanks!
Thank you Paul. Very generous of you
Possible channel name: Gel's Journeys
👍🙏😊
What a treat for the children. You are very kind and are to be congratulated for all you are doing for that little Angel! Didn't see your girlfriends link?
I sincerely apologize.... here it is... m.youtube.com/@PhilippineswithAi
the day she hits 1k subs i will donate 1k dollars to her channel for her hard work and comittment to her channel
That is very kind of you. Do you wish to stay private or may we show public gratitude?
@@qadventures public is fine
Beautiful location and pool.
Big pool. Didn't feel crowded
the resort is awesome but the view is even better...
🙏🫶😇♥️
The old story of give fish eat for a day, teach to fish eat for life, this gift of Independence you give to Gel is worth far more than any amount of money 🙏👍
Thank you. And I will continue to guide and mentor her from afar
@@qadventures Something I realised many years ago is philanthropy doesn't have to be done with money (sure it's easier with money), giving your time to help or teach is a form of philanthropy, I give my time to mentor young it professionals and create open source software that many people benefit from, but if everyone used one of their skills or abilities (just like you are) to help others the world would be a better place without needing a lot of money to get there 👍
will be looking forward to her show
🙏
Mountain princess .. hahaha 😂 also I would like to suggest if you're viewers start now you could do something special for the whole community this coming Christmas. Would be nice to see the village have a community well or something that would benefit the village. Thank you for the wonderful videos sincerely Daniel Adkins
Great suggestion, Daniel. Let's see what we can do
Happy extended birthday celebration angel 😇

Many good names on here....I like ..."Pinay Angel".
As do I. 😊
Very good moments they're enjoying well 🎉 happiness

what is Gels channel? No link !!
We are still working on it. Please be patient and I will update everyone with a proper link. Please stay tuned🫶🙏
Blog name.
Angel’s home in the Mountains
Awesome story very heart felt!
@MountainAngelDiaries recently decided and please subscribe to her channel. She appreciates all support
Province life with an AnGel, or Spend a day with an AnGel. I think you are doing this correctly Please have AI monitor her channel as she is a very young girl who looks a little older. I think you can make it so post have to be approved before they show or you can put key words in that keep them from posting until approved.
Yes Stan. All that has been mitigated. Ai, both her parents, and some of her school staffs will be involved full time while I continue to mentor her from afar and be fully involved if it's called for
Great video Derek & Ai. My suggestion for Gel’s channel is simple: Gel’s Life
Love it. ❤️
Angel's Heavenly Vlog💛God bless you sir for all you do in helping Gel, Its my first time to comment on your channel.
I really appreciate you showing support by chiming in. It helps my channel a plenty🙏

"come chill with Gel" is not taken yet and it's very catchy
Thank you. We have already made the decision the day before. @MountainAngelDiaries
No content yet, but please pre subscribe 🙏
@@qadventures . that's a great name too. yes i will subscribe. God bless you man!
A suggestion, I found nothing on UA-cam. How does Filipina Angel sound.
Sounds great!!! I'll pass it on to Angel
Angel comes from a family that is living pretty good, they make money from their farms, they own cars and they have plenty of food to eat. It's the poor people in the city who are suffering.
Although I disagree with your observation, I do agree with you that there are worst. Angel's family does have a business that often have 1 peso margins for the banana chips, 4 pesos per kilo for bananas, etc. Despite the low margins, they create jobs for the young man with clef that you see in the video who would otherwise have no opportunities.
For me... it's not about what someone has or lack, I stumbled across Angel by accident and learned that her potential is great. So I stop in to assist with a few necessities and mentor her to be independent so she and her family can further contribute to their community. I like to intervene when I meet people with the desire to help themselves
Bye bye Angel Jill! God bless you!
No, no. No bye bye. Pls stay tuned for updates on her own channel. You can support her by watching her channel. Help her become greatness so her family can help their own community, create jobs and such
The pool at 12.22 is amazing...may I ask where is this location ?
I couldn't find the name while I was there
@@qadventuresno worries but what town is it near ? Do you know the province ?
You got my attention ... I'll subscribe and donate $10.00 per month.
I got that notification. Thank you and I am grateful
@@qadventures
Just because of an Angel. 😇
one day Gel will be helping the family financially make sure the bullies dont use her for her money
Yes. We have an entire team in place to be responsible and monitor every aspect. She will only focus on creating and school
I did cake and ice cream day for 2 different schools. Up to 6th grade..

Good. I didn't comment on the 1st couple of videos as apart of them being excellent, I was getting a little bit concerned regarding the exposure of this young lady (and her family). But you have got this well in hand.
Thank you for your patience and validation
