- Expats Facing Challenges in the Philippines/Why did This Man Move Here?@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I pick up where I left off on my previous video with Rob, who is legally blind, suffers from Crohn's disease, but has moved to the Philippines to start his life over and get a fresh start
Hey Paul loved this video. I am also visually impaired. I am married with two kids. My wife and I we’ve talked about going to the Philippines and possibly moving there to have a more simpler life but in my case my sight loss has always just popped up in my mind and aren’t in our conversations considering I didn’t think that I would be able to get around there and the people would understand but in watching your interviewing this gentleman makes me have hope and believe that the Philippines would except my site loss, and that we could actually probably make a life out there with our kids. Thank you so much and hopefully someday we could meet who knows my only fear is 22:06 😊😊❤😊😊not knowing how to get a visa out there and how the three-year visa thing works. If you have any information maybe you can do a video or contact me I’m willing to give you my number and we can do a WhatsApp call. Thank you. God bless you keep up the good work
Hey Joe I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it was very easy for my Visa extensions they basically did it for me and I just paid them 😊 just need to bring some money and your passport.
Paul did an interview with another blind gentleman very recently as well. That was also a really good interview, and the blind guy seemed like an incredible human being, and very funny
Go for it and God bless you
Just be in a right place to live in the Philippines and you will surely be happy here. This interview is very informative for expats who has impairment.
@@RobinthePhilippines Hi Robin. Although I am not an art fan I was my best friend’s best customer for years. I purchased 10+ pieces over 20 years when he was “starving” . I gifted the pieces over the years to friends, family and co-workers. Today he shows his work in a few galleries and can now pay his rent regularly, lol. I would like to purchase a piece or two from your work. Where can I view your work? Hang in there i’m pulling for you.
Greatest episode I've seen yet! Rob is a great testament to the human spirit. He has conquered formidable obstacles, and his future looks bright!
Hey PAul, I am partially sighted due to an injury since I was 13, that's over 30yrs now, . I want to move to the Philippines myself, and I respect Rob for not sitting on his hands and instead getting out their and living live.
A lot of people in his situation would be hiding in a small apartment back home, lonely and with nothing to look forward to. I think it's great that he is putting himself out there and living on his own terms without fear. I really hope things work out for this young man. In truth, his challenges aren't that much different than many older expats; limited income, medical issues etc. so there is no reason he cant do this. Paul is right. This young man is an inspiration.
Thanks for the support Christopher 😊
What a legend. Really like people who have positive energy like this when nature's let them down. Hope this guy has continued success
Rob has over came so much adversity and still over coming more as time goes on, but he truly has a great personality and attitude. God bless from future expat friend
Rob is a total inspiration. I can't even imagine anyone with a good heart saying anything negative about him or his situation. Hearing he's so much happier their is so awesome.
an inspirig story ROB BEST OF LUCK YOU ARE A POWER OF EXAMPLE
Thanks!
I only wish i was as handsome as this kid.. His girl friend is lucky to be able to look at such a good looking young man. He is an inspiration to me. Bless the people of the Philipines.
I DO NOT see a train wreck! This young man has gone about this adventure very intelligently. He setup his meds, his money and everything else. Even more so, he has planned a one year trail, to make sure it is right for him. I wish him the best in everything he does, either there or in the US if he decides to go back. Rob, you are doing a great job, keep it up.
Thanks for the support stu B😊
Hey Guy! Kudos to you young man. All of us have a story and usually play their own violin and get nowhere but deeper into despair. Not you! I'm sure you have your moments too. You are navigating your destiny NOW where too many of us wait till it's almost too late to realize joy. Get on with your bad self. I'm on your side. Glad you and Paul crossed paths ... he's awesome.
I had the pleasure meeting rob an his girlfriend with a few other people . He is a great guy and I give him a lot of credit for what he is doing and know he has good people around him there in the Philippines .Great interview Paul
Thanks for the support David it was great meeting you too 😊
Thanks Paul. What a great man Rob. Perseverance, full of positivity. Living a simple yet stress free and happy. God bless🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
What an inspiration he is...God bless you both Paul & Rob. Wishing Rob all the best in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🙏
Rob and Paul, you both are touching hundreds if not thousands of people with inspiration and positive energy. I admire you both, keep it up! Life is a gift, and you both are making the most of it.
Thanks Terry
What a great young man. My teacher in disability support years ago asked ''What value do PWD bring to everyone else?'' the class was a bit befuddled, myself included despite years prior working with PWD. She answered herself ''people with disabilities make everyone around them into better people.'' About the most important lesson in a year long university course.
We really appreciate that Chris! thanks a lot for watching the video.
Thanks for the support Chris 😊
Thats incredible, i never thought about it like that
@@chrism4008 deep & true.
Good Video Paul 😊. Rob will do just fine there in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Looking forward to meeting him.
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
A very insightful and inspiring young man coming from a 77 year old.
Thanks alot 😊
Good for him. He is getting it figured out. Now the years to come are going to be great. Wishing the best.
You've found the perfect place for you to live and most important....be happy. Your chasinng the dream and succeeded. God bless.
My husband have Crohn’s disease too. He’s on stelara. We only pay $5 every 2 months and our insurance doesn’t cover. I think there’s a program that your gastro Dr can apply to Crohn’s foundation. We will be moving to Philippines next year and he can get his medication from Japan.
a big salute to the gentleman ( rob).
this kid is an inspiration even for me and my health issues he took that chance and is living his life. Thats it i am taking that chance. Always wanted to go there now i am.
I like this young man, he’s not crippled inside he’s living his life!!!!! He does what he likes and what he can, many other people are too scared or lack self confidence to even try, God Bless Bless ,Nick in Michigan
Awesome Video. Rob is a great guy. He came out here with medical issues same as I did. The peace of mind of the positive atmosphere helps you mentally state and I believe that you will live longer because of it. Rob and I go around town. He helps steady me and I help him from running into stuff. He really gets around well and is a very patient positive guy and great friend
Thank you so much for the support. We really appreciate that Monty. Thanks a lot for watching the video. I wish you and Rob all the best in life.
Thank you Paul 😊
Thanks for the kind words Monty I'll see ya soon bud! 😊
Thanks Paul & Rob. Viewing your video
and hearing Robs story did what all your videos do for me - inspire. You in particular Paul are one of the expats I consider " a go to guy " and will make a special effort to meet when I come back home to the Philippines. I'd like to meet Rob and hopefully befriend him also.
Good luck to this young men. Its great that he found a happier place.
Way to go Rob , you’re an inspiration , best of everything in your Philippine adventure 🎉❤
I'm a Filipino living in California. I was born and raised in Manila and migrated to California when I was 20. My grandfather was an Irish kid from Minnesota, lied about his age at 16 and joined the Marines. He was then shipped to the Philippines where he took his discharge, married a local girl (my lola) and never went back to the US. LIstening to all these stories now I understand why.
What a brave and nice young men after all he has been thru. I wish you all the best. You are a model of fighting for what is beautiful in your life. Great vídeo Paul.
Hats off to this young man. I can learn much from this gentleman. Continue enjoying your adventures.
Thanks Brad
Hope he does well in the Philippines. My mom suffered with Crohn’s disease for many years and made life challenging. She tended to stay inside most of the time. This young man is making the best of his challenges and leading the life he wants. I salute him for bravery and perseverance.
Thanks for the support 😊
Very inspirational and courageous young man. A country of nurses, caregivers and maids will make for an easier life. A country of beautiful young women will make you think you are in heaven. Life doesn't get any better than what you have achieved. All the best to you.
Thanks for listening to my story 😊
Thank you Dr
Kid you are a hero. Your bravery has (and will) change lives. Enjoy your live, continue to be adventurous and take notice of how your efforts are helping others. I salute you.
Thanks for listening to my story 😊 I hope so
well said Iron201rob
Great video. It is good to hear that Rob is able to grow in the Philippines. I wonder if Rob has told his story to others in the Philippines. He can inspire others that are visually impaired. Go to schools or adult centers. He has a great attitude and outlook on life.
Way to go, Rob. I am so happy for you!!!
I totally changed my mind after the bathroom break! The comfortable and happiness value is priceless. His kind personality will suit him well there- I sincerely hope so!
Thanks alot 😊
@@RobinthePhilippines My pleasure and sending good wishes.
Rob, you're a special guy, so humble, full of optimism and positive energy mate. Keep doing what makes you happy, and enjoy everything that the Philippines has to offer you, and yeah, Bob Ross is a Legend 👍
Ignore the haters, because they hate everyone, and they hate themselves the most.
Awesome video Paul! Rob has many challenges but is an inspiration for overcoming obstacles and enjoying his life in the Philippines 🇵🇭!🙏👍❤️
What an incredible kid! Courageous, good head on his shoulders. Post up info on his art, Paul. I’d like to support him and his happy trees!
Good second part of the video, Hopefully this young man will be able to stay. Looking forward to the Paintings. Good luck Rob
We love you Robbie, a lot of us have been in down and out situations, you are an inspiration to all of us.
What a great young man. His attitude and story is so inspiring. I have never placed a comment online but I just felt that I had to this time. His future is going to be bright.
Thanks alot Robert I really appreciate 😊
Another great interview! So excited for the world to get to know Rob!
Paul this young man is very inspiring. Makes my problems nothing compared to his daily struggles. Thanks Rob & Paul for up lifting video. 👍
wow, you are one brave young man Rob. thanks for sharing your story. Good luck and God Bless you. talk about inspiring .. 😃
I can't say enough good about Robert. What a great kid Paul. He painted a picture that I commented on and messaged me that he painted it for me. I don't have enough words to express my emotions.
May God bless you Robert!!!
Thanks alot Roy and can't wait to see ya out here😊
@@RobinthePhilippines me either buddy!!! X1000
Incredible human being !
God bless you mate you're an inspiration to us all and it's people like you that push people like me(a lonely depressed 61 year old man) one step closer to that decision of starting a new life in the Philippines. Thanks to you also Paul for the great content. 😊
Paul, Thank You for the 2 videos on this inspiring young man. To be able to pick yourself up, from from the bottom, have the ruff upbringing, to go through the vices that come along, and got clean, and now is making his life a better place, and hopefully a long successful life, and if he wants a partner, he will have it. Rob, you are a good man, and I hope to meet you someday in the Philippines 😊
Thanks Steve hope to meet ya someday too😊
I recognize the young man from John’s group, and we spoke several times, and I never knew he was handicapped, I must say it’s impressive a man with his problems. Was still willing to help John.!, I think the young man is an inspiration to a whole lot of people ! And for the naysayers, they can keep staying home!, good luck, Robert, whenever I get to Dumaguete I’d like to see some of your paintings
What can I say except, OMG, another awesome video, Rob you are such an inspiration to us all, we all complain about our little issues here and there, and most of us have never experienced anything like what you are experiencing. You are strong and resilient and I personally admire that. The world should be full of people like you with your attitude and determination. @paul, wonderful video. Take care always, and enjoy life always. God Bless!!
Rob is a brave man. Welcome to the Philippines and thanks for loving our country.
Paul love this guy, he has the biggest balls and Heart in the world

Very encouraging to hear the young man's testimony, passion, drive, and the will to succeed in life as a sight challenged individual. He gives encouragement to all those who have listened to his life journey and his never ending optism. God bless the woman in his life, she's God send.
Thanks for the support 🙂
What an amazing and inspirational interview with Rob. He truly empower himself by doing more miles in his life unlike most people here in the US who are unable to cope with their challenges in life. Paul, thank you for giving him a platform to express himself and influence other people to make better and positive decisions in their lives like Rob!!
Thanks alot Jacky

Very inspiring interview
What a beautiful young man, so glad you introduced him to your viewers! This goes to show that some people persevere through the toughest times to come up on top, in his case, the ability to live life to the fullest despite his many challenges.
I’m just thinking of his mom and how much she must miss him, while hoping for her son to find happiness.
And yes, we all love Bob Ross, even here in Germany! ❤️
God bless you Rob. What an inspiring person you are.
Thanks for the support 🙂
Great interview with a nice young man. God bless him.
Thanks Duane
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation - Rob's story is very inspiring & uplifting, and I hope he can spend many great years in the Philippines, not just one. Cheers Rob!
Hoping to see the next video, showcasing his Artwork
The inspirational story of how this young man overcame his adversity and came out winning! Thank you Paul for this timely video that has truly inspired all your viewers including me!
Rob, Thank you for sharing your story!
What a huge demonstration of courage to pick up and head off to the Philippines !
So happy to hear your story and how you are creating a better future for yourself and not letting peoples hate and disdain hold you back!
Shit talkers are cowards and someone like yourself just remind them of that!
Rock on!
Thanks for the support 😊
You are next to the interview of Paul.
great video Paul
it is interesting that there are videos from ex-pats which say the opposite regarding health care in the Phillipines...and also about personal safety in the Phillipines...I wish this young man good health and a comfortable life in the Phillipines...i'd be interested to see updates in the future
Good for Rob! He's moving forward with his life! He's not sitting stagnant and feeling sorry for what he doesn't have but using what he has and finding joy! Keep up the good videos Paul! "You take care Rob" there are always jealous people that make stupid comments!
I just commented on the first video but man Rob’s story is definitely inspiring! I wish him all the luck in the world and if I make it back to duma I’m gonna definitely check out those paintings!! 😊
Great video Paul & Rob. Wishing you the best. Hopefully after that year you'll decide to have PH as your home. Very inspiring thank you
Thanks alot jeff😊
Robin, no matter what, always remember.............."GOD gave you a talent, and you must unwrap it to the world." Greetings from Thailand.

Thanks alot for the support 🙂
God bless you both
Hi Paul..once again a informed video….also Baby Mae did a excellent job on her last interview with the 18 year old. Mae asked some hard questions and the young lady was very honest and open to answering.
So happy to see Rob settling in and it going well. Major relief! He definitely deserves a ton of luck and happiness..Certainly very humbling. Made me stop moaning!
Great video. Proud of the young man.
That’s a very inspirational story Rob, thanks Paul
Thanks alot for the support 🙂
Paul and Rob - There's always going to be those types of people who seek to destroy rather than create, and it's not worth the time or effort to give any attention to them or their negative comments. Responding to them in any way empowers them to continue their behavior since you've given them exactly what they look for/want/need, for them to feel happiness by finding faults with anyone that boosts their own morale and attention. They thrive on it. To Rob, it's great to hear you're finding new friends, regardless of their age or gender. It sounds like you've already found someone (your girlfriend) who has shown you that there truly are caring, loving, supportive and understanding people still around in the world, whether it's in The Philippines, or USA, or wherever you choose to set up for your home base. And it's also clear, you have not let your disabilities or 'bad-boy' background decide what YOU want to do, to be happier, healthier, and to enjoy new things that you can experience. I'm sure you'll find others and more new friends closer to your own age who don't even see your disability as a negative, and as another comment posted here said, you are an inspiration! I too, look forward to seeing your art! And Paul - Thank You again for another great video! Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, and keep on doing what you're doing, Rob!
Thanks alot bob cat and I can't wait to show off my art work 😊
Love ❤this young man! He has a great attitude in-spite of his medical situation! Keep up the good work Rob! You are the best! May God continue to bless you and guide you in everything that you do everyday! You are an inspiring human being! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the support 🙂
Great interview, shows the true value of the Filipino culture.
Rob your positive outlook is truly inspirational…..The Philippines is truly a great match for your soul!
