- We’re starting a new series! Aside from all the fun Philippine adventures and trying new foods and learning the culture, I want to take you guys on a different type of Pursuit with me. Moving my whole family from the States to the Philippines may sound ideal to some… but let’s be real, sounds kinda crazy too right? But for us, it was all in God’s timing and grace. In this series, we’ll dive into the beginning and how it all got started. So why did we actually make the move? Press play and come along for the ride as I share with you all the ups and the downs we went through to start a new life in the Philippines.
Thanks for all your support and catch you guys on the next Pursuit 🤙

Mga kababayan , please let us not lose our culture..let us preserve the essence of being Filipino - kind , loving , family oriented , respectful and welcoming..this is something that we can be proud of..
Preservation of values and heritage 💚🤙🙏
Agree...it is a must...
I have moved to the Philippines for 2 years having the same vision , and a failed venture forced me to move back to the states . The good thing is, I never lost my dream of someday I will be back and fulfill our dream of forever living in the Philippines. God bless .
Ito ang isa sa klase ng mga vloggers na dapat suportahan at palaguin. May vission at mission at malasakit sa kapwa. Di yang mga BOY TAPANG,TORO FAM,MAKAPANGIT AT IBA PA NA DULOT AY INTRIGA STRESS SA MANONOOD NEGATIVITY AT PARA LAMANG SA CONTENT MAG KAMPERA PARA SA SARILI NILANG LUHO.
Salamat!!! I'm not exactly sure what it all means but I'll have someone on my team translate lol 😂
I agree
sinabi mo pa lalo na yung luwa dede..bat pa kaya nagdamit kung iluluwa din dede..mga cheap vloggers..hahahaha

Bravo!! 👏👏 I am a Canadian who moved with my young family to the Philippines 6.5 years ago
We took the same leap of faith your family did. We left in our late 30's and it's taken us this long to feel like we've made the right decision... I'm glad RUclips sent us to you guys... Good luck and look forward to watching your videos!!
Wow, what a journey for you! The first year is tough, quite the reality check from our first world living.
After, I feel like you can start to appreciate the little stuff. I’m happy to know you’re feeling like it was the right decision🙏 Looking forward to take this journey together!
Good luck to you. Left in 1989.
Never going back.
Where did you move too? I’m glad it worked out for you🤙🙏💚

@@pursuitofcoconuts the city of smiles.. Bacolod City 😊
Wow, so many people from abroad moving to the Philippines. This is so nice. best move! Thank you for choosing the Philippines💚
Being in Philippines and seeing both the poverty and the joy changed my goals in life.
Right?! Once we see it, it can’t be unseen. It helped me align to more of my values and calling🤙🙏
@@pursuitofcoconuts That's awesome 😎
I am praying about a similar decision.
Great choice coming over bro. I came over from eaglerock, best decision ever. We have a lot of land that I don't know what to do with and may need your advice. We wish you the best and always take care.
the Philippines wealth lies on its nature. sadly, many Filipino people neglect it and pursue city life more. our farmers live in poverty while the commodities they provide sells high in the cities. it is this irony that makes us different from other wealthy nations who are supported by their govt thru true agricultural help and not just nonsense subsidies that in anyways didnt bring any improvement in our agricultural sector.
I'm a big advocate on sustainable farming right now! I say farm 😉
You are an encouragement. I’ve been debating with myself whether to stay here in the U.S. or go back to my place of birth-the Philippines. I have made up my mind, I’m going back.
Letsss go!!! Pray about and follow a path worth living out your calling💚🤙
Thanks for sharing with us your story brother. I just moved my whole family to the Philippines and leaving everything in Johannesburg to start anew. It was not an easy decision but we are here by faith. Wherever God leads He will provide. I worked as a quality manager for 10 years in the food industry overseas and started my own consulting business but had to leave them behind for Philippines.... Better place for our kids to grow and get to know the Filipino way of life
I love that... Wherever God leads He will provide. Raising kids with a close knit family is super important for me. Being here definitely gave me more time with them. I have a few questions for you regarding your experience in the food industry. Message me via email at coconut@pursuitofcoconuts.com
These goal resonate for me and my family of 7. We want to make the move, but are Very unsure where to start and would LOVE to build some networks with people to discuss how you did it and what kind of challenges you faced? Please reach out if you want to talk! God bless you and yours!
Polin...you're the man..that our country needs..a man with strong determinations and insights..a God fearing family..complete package in the making...new subscriber from mindanao..🇵🇭
Appreciate you joining the pursuit and subscribing 🤙 Not to worried about being the man haha. But for sure we need to make some positive changes together.
I appreciate the support from Mindanao🙏
What perfect timing to stumble upon your channel. We are retirees but with an adopted son. We plan to move to the Philippines next year after school is over here in the States. Our son will be attending high school there and we pray that this is a positive move for him. We pray that we are hearing God's direction to move to the Philippines instead of waiting for him to graduate high school. Thank you for sharing this content - I needed the assurance. Be blessed.
We have a high school son and it is a tough transition for him. If you’d like for you son to talk to my son, maybe he can shine some light on his experience. Don’t mean to be so forward but anything we can share with our experience that can help someone else, we are open too.
Thanks for joining in our pursuit and blessings to you and your family🙏🤙
@@pursuitofcoconuts how sweet of you. I'll run that by our son and see if he would be interested to connect with your son. He had, however, attended school there (2nd/3rd grade) before but the teenage years are so different you don't know how they will interact with their foreign peers - awkward time for him I guess
For sure. Growing kids. My brother in-law had to deal with going back and forth at a young age but he then lived with us in the USA for his high school years and went to college in the Philippines. He actually ended up appreciating the Philippines and made the decision to stay after college. They will find their way… all we can do is our best and cover them with love💚🙏
I cried watching this. Thank you for sharing. After also moving our whole life in the Philippines in January 2023, we are at the point asking if we made the wrong move. 😭😭😭 You all sure look like you were more prepared than we were. Haha. But thank you thank you thank you. We needed to watch this at this moment.
Aww!!! I feel you so much! To be honest, we still question if it was the right thing to do. With all the affirmations, we know this is where we belong for now. Regardless of the hardship, struggles, and culture shock there is so much to be appreciative of. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need someone to relate too and hear you out🙏🤙💚
Coconut tree to many product will make broom or walis . Coco lumber. Fruits make bunot or sale also chacoal😊
@@Rogue_143❤
The tree of life they say😉
@@Rogue_143That was the biggest surprise about coconuts that it is a substitute for charcoal and it really works when it's time for some BBQ.
This is such unique content among many I've seen. I'm grateful as a Filipino, that you have chosen the Philippines as the next chapter of your lives.
We'll be following you from now on.
A new subscriber from Cebu!
Good luck in life and God bless!!😄
Thank you so much! We have family in Naga, Cebu and spent Christmas there. Thanks for the follow!
@@pursuitofcoconutsOh my goodness really? I am from Minglanilla! We could have been neighbors haha
Best wishes to all of you! I hope you made the right decision and find happiness and successes in the Philippines. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you and blessing to you as well. No matter the outcome, it’s always the right decision to follow God’s calling😉 I just hope that I’m hearing Him clearly and humbling myself enough to hear properly🙏
Aloha.. I found your channel by accident but I feel GOD led me in your direction. Such a beautiful story about FAITH.. I am anxious to follow your adventures..
GOD BLESS from Las Vegas
Aloha and Mabuhay 🤙🌴💚 Thankful for you and appreciate your kind words. I hope you enjoy the journey with us🙏 I have amazing family from Vegas, maybe one day we will cross paths. Blessings!
So proud of the Ung’s! So much faith and strength to deliver this, keep up the pursuit 🤍 I love it!
Pri Pri!!! Thank you. Keep at it on your journey, you’re doing amazing. Come visit🙏
Excited for what God has in store for your family here. Welcome to the Philippines! 🤗
Thanks so much! The people are the greatest thing we have experienced🙏🤙💚
I don't know u brod but as I've watched your video I feel the sincerety of what you've done now, good luck,I wished you success here😊
Thanks so much for saying that. I’m sure we’d vibe as friends if I had the special opportunity to meet you one day🤙 Thanks for joining us on the pursuit! 🙏
I've been in P.I. for 20 years, Australia for 5 years, California for over 10 years. I plan to go back and forth depending on the season and needs. If I need major medical attention, I'll stay in California. If I needed a break, I'll go to Philippines.
Sounds like a great plan if you can make it back and fourth. The medical is great in the USA and I pray that you find it possible to go back and fourth. Come visit Bohol if you can🤙
You’re truly inspiring! Your ability to not just come up with an idea but to be daring and brave enough to execute it and move towards fulfillment and making an impact is so amazing and something we need more of in the world. I can’t wait to see what you do next! Love from the Tooson family in America ❤
Love received and send our love right back to you and the family💚 It’s just one day at a time, one step at a time, and anytime we are knocked down, we get up! Thank God we are given the strength, the friendships, and the opportunity to LIVE a life worth fighting for🫶🌴
I’m now a senior citizen of the world Not the USA which I dreamed of in my early life. The American dream is no longer appealing to me. I was born in the Phils. I brought my own young family to the USA where I and my wife raised 5 very children. Now where to? Back to where I feel Free to enjoy my new found Freedom. The Philippines !! 🇵🇭 😄Having seen a lot of RUclips blogs I believe It’s really more Fun Family Friends in the Philippines 🇵🇭✅
What a journey! The USA provides an opportunity to create a good foundation. I'm glad you found your way back and may you have many more years of blessings with family and friends
Touched and encouraged by your perspective and message. Life is often unclear but I needed to be reminded that God is always with us. God bless you and your family.🙏
Yes He is, always with us... I would say God is clear and precise, we often make things more foggy than it needs to be. That's probably because the simple things asked of us are soooo hard. My flesh and worldly mind struggles to trust the process. Blessings to you and may you feel the presence of God constantly💚🙏
Bro, I'm a Christian too and live in Long Beach. Inspiring story, I'll be following your journey. Thanks for sharing your faith and story.
What?! Soooo cool. Thank you and please keep me accountable🙏🤙 If you’re ever in the PI let me know.
Good for you and the family bro. God bless you and your family, and may you have success with your goals. I love the Philippines 🇵🇭. They are my brothers from the pacific. I was born in Cuba 🇨🇺. Another former Spanish island. 🇨🇺❤️🇵🇭. I’m also considering leaving the United States and moving out of this mess.
God can use you in any mess and in any place. Thank you for your kind words. I pray that you are blessed with the decision you make. If you visit the Philippines ever, drop by Bohol and say Hi.
Please hurry though, come to the Philippines you are very much welcome.
Nice move of decision but for you as Cuban isn't good for you to get back to the country of your origin because the economy out there is not better right now I would suggest to move also in our country the Philippines because we have strong similaritities in culture for both of us we're under the Spaniards for hundred years past. And by that you could at home bro.
Thank you for choosing the Philippines to move from the US . I know GOD will be with you and your family. Be blessed always.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for loving my country Philippines ❤ I’m from Long beach too from the west side Willow and easy ave but we move to Chicago and planning to go back home to Long beach soon. You guys take care we’re planning to be back home too ❤🇵🇭🇺🇸
I love the way you’re telling your stories.. hoping to see more on your family journey in the Philippines.
Thank you! That is encouraging to hear🙏 This is just the start, so much more to come. Thank you for being on this journey with us🤙🌴
Brother. We are in the early process of doing a similar move and came across your video. Thank you. Your message of faith has given me and my wife strength. May God bless you and your family and your journey.
Your family is awesome, happy, peaceful, contented, and most of all, God-centered!
Thank you for the kind words. We’ll do our best to stay humble and faithful. I know I’ll make mistakes but God will get us through it if it’s His will🙏 Thanks for joining the pursuit!
God bless your family! We moved our family from Canada back to the Philippines 2 years ago to share God’s love too. And connected with others who did the same. Hope to connect with you in the future. God bless your journey in shining His light.
Wow guys! 🥲♥Hearing your story is one thing, but seeing it in a video puts it to another level! Im so glad you made the decision to move here and that we met. Your vision is so inspiring and made us realise that we have to dream bigger despite the anxiety that that might bring. To many more days together, chasing our dreams! 🤗💚
So glad we connected on the mats and thank you for visiting the farm. You've already took the big leap and now just embrace your journey💚 A lot more life to experience, don't hold back!!
Good for you guys! I absolutely love gardening/farming. I have my own garden, but also work at our local greenhouse/nursery. I wish I made this move to the PI when my kids were younger, but now that my youngest is almost of high school and hubby is close to retirement. I’m also hoping to do some farming in the PI, Babysteps 🙏🏼
What an inspiring story! Continue to be a blessing to that small community that you are helping, and I’m sure it will create a huge impact. Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you so much! Pray that blessings are unleashed🙏
I would have understand you very well if you have this endeavor given back to your beloved Cambodia as your point of origin but coming here in Pinas for such adventure,desire,or whatever you call it is just another level of compassion coming from your hearts and mjnd. Maraming salamat sa 'yo kaibigan 😇
People ask all the time why I didn't do it in Cambodia. God sent me in a direction and I just followed the path🙏
Wow you are an inspiration to us filipinos and you choose the right path the right place and thats LOBOC... the beloved place of my mother in law which is a very very nice and calming place and the people are so so nice so welcoming so caring and that we are always coming back and forth loboc even if its pandemic we went to loboc because we always wanted to go to and love the place so much....goodluck to ur new journey and u are in the right place... wow
Thank you! Loboc, a peace of heaven on earth🙏
Love this! Very nice and relatable 👏! You're a great storyteller. It's great seeing more of this generation making bold moves of moving abroad. Looking forward to the next pursuit fam ✌️😊❤!
Thank you! Moving abroad had such huge swings of this is awesome, to what the heck am I doing?! We’re here doing it!
Thanks for keeping up with us and looking forward to what’s to come🤙🙏💚
Thank you for coming. May God continue to bless your pursuit and share whatever you can to our farmers
You got a new follower! Awesome perspective you have!

Very Inspiring, keep it up. Last year I was here in my hometown for 8 months, now it’s 10 months. Doing my favorite things to do,
Preparing Young Lives for Life. May God Bless us all.
That’s awesome. Blessing to you and passing on wisdom to the younger generation🙏🤙
I’m so glad I’ve found a vlogger that I’d like to watch what this family’s journey would be like. You seem real!! I wish you great success not only financially but helping many others.
May I suggest you don’t say a foul word especially since it seems you’re a Christian.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely more than just about money. We understand it’s a resource but not the source of fulfillment. I appreciate you and I’ll do my best to not curse. It’s a habit growing up on the streets. No malice intended. Thanks for pointing it out nicely🤙🙏💚
Thank you for choosing Philippines. wow, i was in awe of your faith and of course we welcome you in our beloved Country, i pray for your successful pursuit, cant wait to watch your next video...God Bless you and your family🙏❤❤❤
wishing you all the best bro, yes, God will never forsake us. keep the faith.
Thank you! Pressing on💚 Thanks for the support🤙🙏
Thank you very very much for choosing our country to build your mission. Really i dont get you but we really in need of people like you to guide us, to teach our people esp our farmers.Hope you're the one we're waiting for to make a real difference in their lives. Were all here to support you all the way with your mission.
Thank you. I don't get me sometimes too. haha God doesn't choose the qualified, He qualifies the chosen.
Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 which is your home now. Wishing you and your family success and happiness as you all journey your life here. 👍😊🤗💕
Thank you for the warm welcome! Blessings to you!
I am crying too! This is what I am praying for too.
MAD LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAM BRO! So excited for what's in store for you guys!
Appreciate that dude!! Mad love right back at ya. Thanks for coming along the pursuit🙏🤙
An amazing change of lifestyle. When God speaks to you who are you to do against His will. His will is greater than your purpose. Thank you for choosing the Philippines and for connecting with the local people in "Pursuit of Coconuts". Let God's will be done. God Bless You and your family! A new follower of your journey. A Fil-Brit living in Kent, England, UK.
VERY INSPIRING STORY. I WAS REALLY TOUCHED ON HOW DETERMINED OF YOU TO DECIDE TO MOVE BACK YO YOUR MOTHER LAND FROM THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU KABABAYAN AND GOD ALMIGHTY WILL ALWAYS BE AT YOUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT. YOUR REAL HAPPINESS AND EVENTUAL SUCCESS ARE ALREADY ENGRAVED IN YOUR DESTINY.

WE ALL FEEL EXALTED OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HELP YOUR KABABAYAN AND THE COUNTRY AS WELL. MABUHAY KA IDOL.

Thank you for your support and kind words. Let’s go on this journey and pray to be a part of the change we strive to bless the community here💚🙏
I also moved my whole life from the US to the Philippines and I understand it all! Pursuing my dream helping people. It’s hard, but God called us
Amazing. Where are you and what have you been up to?
Love you, guys! Your journey genuinely inspires me. Your resilience and dedication are truly commendable, clearly reflecting your passionate and purposeful pursuit of your calling in life. Your positivity and adept navigation through challenges are not only admirable but also serve as a source of encouragement for others. Keep sharing your story; it's creating a meaningful impact, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing your continued success and growth. Love Philippines.
Thank you so much! These words are encouraging💚 It’s not easy but it’s worth it. God has definitely forging us in the fire🙏

Thank you so much! Where in Bohol are you?!
@@pursuitofcoconuts I am from Cebu, we're just a boat away. I saw that you had some issues activating your starlink, I believe the best option to pay is through a Paymaya virtual card.
My brother in Christ. as A Filipino Christian I just want to say God is with you on this journey. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Thank you and AMEN
Welcome to the Land of Ophirians . The Philippines as confirmed by biblical historians was mentioned in the bible as Ophir. Our land used to supply gold during the time of King Solomon. Upon learning this ,God must have a special purpose on this country and its people. The reason why this place is like a paradise. God has blessed the Philippines so much. Its sad most of the Filipinos knew little about it.
Wow, I’m going to have to look into that myself. I wasn’t aware.
I know the Philippines has a rich reserve of gold and lots of natural resources but yet, the Philippines is behind in sharing those resources to the world. I hope we can change that!🙏💚
I never knew this channel just today.. I was blown away by how you stood up for something you believe that the Lord has called you. It is great to see how God has been shaping you more deeply as His followers.
Thank you for your kind words! I promise you I’m far from perfect but trying my best to stay faithful to my calling and our God🙏💚🤙
LOVE the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ as a Filipino, I'll work & live here in the Philippines til the end. That's my promised to myself when I was dreaming at a young age. 😊
Love the commitment to your country. We need more talent and great minds to stay but often times, the financial opportunities are abroad. Thanks for your commitment 🫡
@pursuitofcoconuts due to lack of opportunities in our beloved land - millions are looking for greener pastures abroad - we can't blame them. The diaspora of this country are the ones helping our economy/country afloat. Hope someday, Filipinos will be home and stay with their families - no more LDR.
Let’s do our best to share the opportunity and wealth instead of a few who hoard it for themselves. 🙏🤙💚
@pursuitofcoconuts Yep2x po sir. We need to contribute in nation building. We need to help the marginalized sector. 🙏
A welcome hug to you & your family. Thank you for choosing the Philippines & good luck on your social enterprise, a lofty goal for our poor farmers. We need new blood with a fresh perspective to move the economy forward.
Got a teary-eyed listening and watching your video. Navigate you life and dream with God.
The best way to dream because with Him anything is possible! Appreciate you! Blessings!
My husband and I are 2 Americans who left Northern CA 4 years ago and moved to Kampot Cambodia and are loving our lives here! Now we can’t imagine going back to the States. Good job on making the leap!!
Very inspirational! God bless you on your new journey!
Thank you Doc! Pressing on and excited also to see what’s to come🙏💚
Thanks to your goals and ideas moving here in the Philippines. Helping our farmers
Pray that our project is supported locally🙏
God bless you and your family for such wonderful decisions.. and welcome to the Philippines.
Thank you! We feel very welcomed here but that is just Filipinos anywhere!!! They make you feel like family. Thanks for joining us on the pursuit🙏

I admire your strong faith. All what you have said is true and I know you will be successful in building your family here in the Philippines because you stepping the way what God is giving you.

I appreciate that. Blessings to you also! God speed🙏
Thatnk you for sharing your knowledge and blessings to my fellow Filipinos.

Just be careful with power, because it can be intoxicating.

Thank you! Pinoybaiting, lol first time I’ve heard that term. There are a lot of bloggers that blog about the Philippines.
We hope peel back the layers and fulfill our calling.
And yes, power and money can be dangerous. Pray for us to remain humble🙏🤙
Appreciate you and your support💚
You have a profound vision. Thanks for helping Philippines. Thank you Lord.

You’re doing the right thing with your blessed family . May you make a big difference with the country today and everyday.
Follow your heart where God will provide for your family. God Bless you all.
God will sustain us no matter the outcome! Things are looking good and we appreciate your support🙏🌴💚🤙
The Philippines are one of the places I'm considering moving with my wife. But, I've been doing a lot of research and I'm also interested in Nicaragua, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. I feel that we will be much happier if and when we make that change. Canada is becoming far too stressful these days
All your options look like great options. I'm not to familiar with Nicaragua. Vietnam has great infrastructure compared to Philippines. Thailand is fun and affordable. Philippines has great people and many speak english. 🤙
You will not regret coming back in the Philippines.God is with you....something great will happen. God Bless your plans. Shalom!
Thank you for all the blessings. Shalom💚🙏🤙
So inspiring😢 bingyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na bumalik sa pilipinas
Thank you! Blessings
Wishing you all the best!!! When you forget, watch this video again to remind yourself. Stay grounded. May God bless every step of your journey with your family and the community you serve🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am a filipino and I love my country Philippines. and I will never leaqve my country because I love living here.
We need more people like you with the love of their country here. So many leave because of the better opportunities in other countries but we need the talent and passion to stay🙏 Thank you for supporting your people🤙
@@pursuitofcoconuts .
They leave because of the jobs.
But as the old saying "If you can't find a job, create a job".. Everyone can start a small business as a replacement for a job. It is really all about the mindset.
I am a Filipino and my parents are Filipino. I love my tsinelas, bagoong and tortang talong. Thank you
You will never leave because you don't have a VISA, simple. haha.

Seek first the kingdom of God, and all else will be given to you…
Thank you for coming along the pursuit🙏💚
Ooh nothing wrong with that. I think living in the Philippines will definitely be a fresh start & even humble you guys a bit. There are a lot of non Filipinos who move there & genuinely love it. Best wishes & enjoy the journey! God bless 🙏🏼
Great experience, challenge, and very humbling. It changed a lot of my thinking… in a good way🤙🙏. Definitely an adjustment non the less. Thanks for the blessing and well wishes. Blessing to you also💚
Hi Polin! For some reason, i clicked this video feed and was touched with its story...
Anyhow, i lived in Long Beach (90806 area) for 11 years, in pursuit of the amercan dream... Just like you, i gave up that dream and went back to Philippines (Mindanao) last 2016 and reunited with my now wife and daughter... and started from scratch!
Now i have 2 hec. coconut farm, durian, lanzones and various friut trees....
Hope you'll achieve your goals and i wish you all the best!
Wrigley area of LB. I have tons of friends from there and used to pass flyers for my business around there haha. I'm glad you made the move. How was it starting from scratch and do you sell fruits from your farm to other islands? Thank you for the well wishes and I wish you many blessings!
@@pursuitofcoconuts starting all over again was harder than i thought. Luckily, aside from saving so much while i was in Ca that gave advantage in the US$ to Php value, i bought few properties, i also investing a lot on research stuffs like farming, financial literacy, business trends in Ph, etc. 3-4 yrs before flying back here...
I thought farming was my niche but i find it hard after several failures and considering my farm was an hour. drive from my home in the city. So I just made it a supplemental source of income every 3 months coconut harvest and yearly fruit season harvests... but not that lucrative to rely on. I ended up doing online selling and physical businesses that we venture on... I hope i could get your flyérs and check how does your venture works. Sounds so inspiring, hope you'll truly find what you hoped for!
Thank you for sharing. Farming is difficult and the margins are not great if done traditionally. We are partnering with resorts and restaurants to provide a specialty supply of produce and experience. We also have to produce farm products into goods to have better profit margins for local farms.
Sounds like you found a way and persevered🙏 Much love and respect! I hope to share more of our products soon😉
Very inspiring story... New subscriber here ❤❤❤
Thank you for joining our pursuit! Every sub helps us with our goal of bettering livelihood of local farmers!

Good on you guys! you're all awesome leaving behind the evil of the USA! May God bless your entire family, and keep you safe 🙂Amen
There is definitely evil everywhere. That's where faith and the spirit can direct us to where we are meant to be and how to be used to spread the Love of God. Thank you for the blessings and may you also be blessed my friend🙏

Great story! I'm also from Long Beach, went to Poly, and retired in the Philippines almost 10 years ago. I'm back here at LBC for Christmas to be with my kids for the first time in 10 yrs. I love Long Beach, grew up here but I can't wait to go back there! Be safe..
Say what?! I went to Poly as well. Where are you in the Philippines? I'm sure we know people there. 🤙
@@pursuitofcoconuts I retired in Olongapo. We lived on the West side near Wardlow when I went to Poly back in the mid 70's. I had a house on 27th and Magnolia, sold it and moved to Olongapo after retiring. My nephew are good friends with Cameron Diaz because they were classmates and they were there the same time Snoop Dogg was there lol. Small world!
Westside!! Yep, a bunch of Filipinos there, lots of friends at Westside church too. Blessing to you🤙🙏
Amazing and inspiring! God is so faithful and he will never disappoint you and your family! Thank you for sharing your faith and your life with so many people! We are rooting for you and yours. Jesus is about to blow your mind by overwhelming you with His goodness and grace! I believe the best is yet to come for you and your family! God bless you, brother!
God has already blew my mind. To carry my cross(nothing comparable to Jesus, not even close) as Jesus did is an honor and I hope I can stay humble and faithful through it all. I appreciate you kind words and blessings to you as well💚🙏

Thank you for your kind words! Jesus has already sacrificed for us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven🙏 In response and freedom of God has given us, it's my honor to sacrifice and pursue God's calling for us. The love and gift God has given to me is overwhelming and I can do nothing to repay. I can only honor Him by being obedient 💚🙏

Thank you! Please help us spread the word. It's not paradise if the locals cant' even afford to eat🙏
fellow LB native here and as much as I loved it as a kid, having attended St. Lucy on the West Side to high school at Millikan in the East Side it’s no longer the same. may your journey be prosperous! with God on your side, who can be against you? God bless!
Shout outs!! Long Beach in the house. I’m sure we know someone we both know😂 Long Beach has changed but I still love it. The diversity and creativity that comes out of there💚
One of our media team members moved to the Philippines to help with our projects and she went to St. Lucy. Keep in touch and blessing to you🙏
@@pursuitofcoconuts aye that's pretty dope! i wouldn't doubt that we know someone in common haha! excited to see what the journey unfolds for you and your family!
this is what we need in the country.. filipino diaspora bringing home their expertise and building the country through entrepreneurship! GO GO GO👏
Yay!! Great affirmation🤙🫶 Even though I love the USA, it doesn’t need me at this time. I felt a calling to use what God has blessed me with to help low income farmers in the Philippines and it became evident that we belong here to do the good work for now🙏 If He is with us, who can be against us
You are truly an inspiration. I can relate to what you are doing. As long as you have God in your lives, you cannot fail. Welcome to the Philippines and MABUHAY!
I appreciate that. Please pray that God is made more followed and famous!
We are heading the same direction as you are, we are almost there to move permanently, in Mindanao
Wow. Wishing you all the best. When you're in Mindanao let us know!
I admire your drive and faith. Thank you for joining us to help us in the Philippines. We need more people like you. I pray for the success of your project. Welcome to the Philippines. Mabuhay ka!
I like your video. Its not you gaining popularity but providing opportunity! God Bless!
That’s exactly it. Praying God blesses this beautiful community and not allow cartels, greedy middlemen, or corruption win any longer. Thank you for your support🙏
