Giving him phone and cash without moving him from that area is a huge liability, the work men were watching and listening with interest. I wish the best for Greg and have so much respect for those helping him. Bless you guys 🙏✌️🇵🇭💯
yes one should not give huge amounts of money in the open. At least he did not open the wallet. I would like to see if he arrived safely and with the money in his bank account.
@@maryjoymary9433 Seems like he's had nothing but good luck but doesn't know what to do with it or take advantage of it.
@@goldenmoontheyoungest8389 Yep. These stories scare me for some reason. I feel like I am missing something obvious and staring me directly in the face. It is presented one way while all the time you just know there is another story hiding below the surface.
@@maryjoymary9433May i ask how do you know?
That was always the most likely outcome. Guys a addict of some kind, they always talk about getting robbed and say they're a tee-tottaler down on his luck. Doesn't make him a bad person but it does mean any charity beyond a monthly stipend will only get pissed up against a wall. @@maryjoymary9433
Twenty years ago it happened to one foreigner in Puerto Galera and the good thing is he was adapted by my cousin without any question or ask in return for almost half a year until he is good enough to travel. They contacted their embassy and arranged his travel to go back to his home country and you what happened next. After 3 years he came back with his brother and pay his respect and appreciation to the people who help him in times of need. In our village/brgy. we knew each other and help one another in time of need.
Wow, amazing story. I used to work with quite a few Filipinos in the US, some of the most friendly people I've ever met.
Bad idea giving him all the cash in one go, seems like he has an excuse for everything. I'll be very surprised if this ends as a happy story, hope I'm wrong.
Was thinking the same thing
Yes I agree with u
It's his money. People gave it to him. He is an adult. He doesn't need manipulation or anyone telling him what not and what to do. Good or bad.. Stop insulting this man's one and only life...You have your own life and mind your own business. F*ck off!
Yep he’s 10000% a drug addict. I’ve been there myself and he gives all the signs.
Pedo...you can pick them a mile away
Thank you to everyone who reached out to help this man get off the street. I know there are still good people out there. Much love and many blessings sent to all of you from Canada.
I have a bad feeling about Greg, I hope I am wrong I really do but he gives a story for everything & seems to try and make excuses for every single thing, I get stuff goes wrong but I’ve grown up around addicts and he shows a lot of signs.
Totally agree. Everything is everybody's fault and not his. I worked with homeless people and yes they all had bad pasts but nothing is their fault they blame everyone and everything for their bad lives, yes a lot have mental health problems but I don't feel this guy really wants to work or change his life.
@@Angie-jm8kp I rather backtrack with this edit; I don't want to get involved with protecting or talking about those persons, places, stories what I only know on social media. But sure it's useful to hear other people's stories / opinion on Internet too. I say it as persecuted (Hungarian) and I personally experienced how differently things work.
His arms look okay though. Maybe he drinks? Who knows?
Adrian Gregory Griffiths was once my brother in law. So sad to see him like this ,but it was always his destiny. The guy has some serious demon's..
hes a liar
"The Philippines is like a forest for the underprivileged, even if you are a foreigner. But for the middle class, the lifestyle in this country resembles a vacation spot. However, when it comes to interacting with the people living here, you can't say anything but that hospitality is a habit here."
I wouldn't call this a "Final Update". I'd say 70% chance if you go back in an week, he'll still be in the same spot. Would really love to see one more update where he get's on the ferry, or better, a check-in from his new location.
Same here !
100% agree. hope im wrong though but have little faith
Yes exactly what I said, he will still be there now, making excuses up about clearance,probably say he's been mugged again and lost the money,probably sold the phone,this guy is a alcoholic and probably a drug user to, there are so many in my city centre in Liverpool just exactly like this guy. He will definitely still be there now,bet anything on that. There will probably be no more updates as he knows if he does he will still be there and just totally got conned, he won't admit that, so don't expect another update anytime soon.
@@wakinguptothetruth.2566 you're not wrong! he shouldnt have been given all the money. he should have just been given a little until he proved he was willing. but looks like now he was always a dosser.
Hi all, I live in Cebu and I can tell you that you don't need a Barangay clearance to leave. You can travel freely within The Philippines. The only time you need clearance of any sort, is when leave the country.
I’ve met plenty of dodgy people in my time and he definitely is a dodgy character, very suspicious that he doesn’t want to come back to the uk.
Probably a Nonce wanted by UK Police
That is the vibe I get if I'm honest, but you really can't judge unless you know the full story. People are too quick to think they know what is going on when they don't have all the information. Peace
live on the streets of ph or in the uk
@@maganjasan He would get free money in the UK
Don't trust this guy he will pull the wool over your eyes and ripe you off don't trust
I'm proud of people around the world always helping out people in need. Especially when a person is down and out. Thank you all very very much!!!

this guy is a drug addict liar
I can see there's been a reply to this post, but YT won't let me view it. So annoying.
This guys full of shit..dont waste your time, effort or money on these useless fuk kanos that wander around penniless. They are just scammers. Always they have a sad story and a million excuses. If you dig deeper you will probably find hes not so innocent.
Salamaat mate true 100% and the idea that he cant get an ID from the Brit/UK Embassy? BULLSHIT. of course he can that is what the Embassy is for! And why is nobody asking what pension amount he gets and where that is going? This story is just that, a story, and so full of holes it is ridiculous.
@aforeignertellingtruthinph2023 67 pension age. He is 65.
Also, I wonder why you don't respond to my last message 🤣
That worker looked very interested in what you was giving Dan.
They all behave like predators in PH . It could be nothing or he could be in on the thievery or thinks the guy is something to do with drugs.
This restores my faith in humanity. Often expats in trouble get NOT sympathy whatsoever. People assume we are all rich and have mansions back home. For some, including me, there's no "home" back in our country and we've been abroad for so long, we have NOTHING back in our birth country. So be compassionate and understanding. Love this video series.
you reap what you sow, if you don't do good for others , don't expect others do good for you. people annoy me when they say that " this restores my faith in humanity " ..stfu
@@jedimaster6442 I used to think so too.. When i was younger.. The proverb has become a Cliché. But rest of what Martin says is true.. I watch all kinds of videos of people being pricks towards each other these days. It's good to see wholesome stuff like this for balance.. Try to "think positive"..
You'll feel better.
@@jedimaster6442 ...My Young Padawan.
Good people ,I feel there is more to this story
@@juri_xiii9977you a Jedi seriously trying to be the all innuendo. No disrespect but if you think this bloke is genuine you are potty he has more stories than J. K. Rowling
He is not on track. And nothing will help him, but himself.
Greg said he'd be in touch....been a few months now should be settled. Be interesting to see his state of affairs and what his situation is now. Unless he's been robbed again and he's back to Sq1... (Which I feel is the next Part4)
There’s a saying we use in England, something doesn’t ring the right tune or something doesn’t sound quite right. But I hope I’m wrong but i don’t think I am. Good luck to him 🙏🏼
not sure why but it felt like he did not want to leave the area he was staying at!! if its true was a waste trying to help him out to find a better place to live in,. anyways just like you said you found him and wished to help and you did everything you could to help him out. everything else is up to him!!
Yes everything is up to him, no reason for failure
This is amazing Alex. Your vlog is now a multi-content channel. Continue to help everyone in need. To those who helped Greg, God bless. Your generosity goes a long way.
Hope I'll be in a position to give more 🙏
Good man please help him , living in isolation
if there is god, why god is not helping the needy, it is always men that is giving help.
❤👍👏
God bless you! ❤
I hope this man turns his life around. And to those who donated, I hope you do the same to homeless Filipinos. Let’s all help and stop hating, no matter the race.
He was robbed of his belongings!!!
@@bearpolar90210 He got robbed? I didn't know there's kneegrows in the Philipines.
@@bearpolar90210ohhhhh yea..for sure
There are tons of homeless in the USA too.
@@mimi1o8they lazy though and relies on handouts. No values whatsoever.
Something not right about him…👍
How about you ?
@@anthonydowling3356great use of a whataboutism. If the video had been about Rocky that would be a valid question but it wasn’t. The video was about Greg, and there is something off about him.
Shabu, or whatever they call meth over there.
He’s a wrong-un …..
The act of giving is all that matters. One cannot erase the good of giving, the compassion that caused the giving.
Thank you for the help you have given to this man, I hope he takes the opportunity you have given him. You have a beautiful soul. 🇬🇧
Alex, you are exceptional that has come across to someone whose life ended up miserably in a foreign land.
You restored human spirit to trust again.
I salute 🫡 your channel and wish you the best as you continue your work in the Philippines.
Thabk you so much! Im so proud of everyone for joining me on this journey
This kind of content is a huge double-edged blade for the future of both your career as a Vlogger and your reputation!
I think his helping the hopeless but how's that hurt his reputation going forward?
@@loufrost824how bout help the decent poor locals instead of some shady ass dude
@@ashtangaxashtangapranayama8526 You're assuming they need help Mr White Knight.
Well done Alex, it is wonderful what you have done for Greg and also heartfelt thanks to all who have donated to the Give a little page for him.
Thank you 🙏
He's right back to where he started he didn't make it out of the country guys he made it to the next city as soon as he got off the boat he was robbed and now he's living outside of 7-Eleven with the same sob story.. This man is a f****** bum who doesn't want to go home
@@fahqgoogle5941 Really? Which city is this? Can you film an interview with him?
Thank you for Helping this man . Much Blessings !!
Your heart is in the right place Living aboard. I moved here full time in 2019. This barangay clearance thing has me confused. You said his visa status is up to date. You must present your passport anytime you renew your visa, so I assume he has a valid passport. He can use his passport as ID to board the ferry. Did you actually see his passport and visa payment receipts?
I was asking the same questions why would a foreigner on a a tourist visa living on the streets need a barangay clearance?
@@edmhie1 I am doing the research I am asking here and on an expat forum so far no one has any idea why it would be necessary if you or anyone else knows the reason please let us all know
Watch the first 2 videos. He explains everything
No such thing as a brgy clearance is needed for travel anywhere in the Philippines As for visa your passport is required .He was stalling on this brgy clearance .Hard to believe him ..
@thomasmcmanus8255 read the dozens of comments I've made explaining why he needs a brangay clearance and his visa was renewed prior to losing his passport
You did the right thing but I don’t think things will change for him because he doesn’t want them to .. he is lying about the visa ,he is an addict who wants handouts . Homelessness is multifaceted and you can’t fix it without fixing the root cause . Mostly addiction and mental illness . I’m not being mean , I’m being honest …
No way he is not illegally staying.
The real question is how a british ended up like this.
@@Nico-rw1uo He is illegally staying as he is supposed to be able to finance himself . The are visa conditions and he’s breaking a lot of them . As for your question … drugs , alcohol and women .
@@Nessyk01 yeah. Or else , if not no tourist ,especially brits should be in this kind of situations, if they catch him. He will have to bear all the fines, facing charges, then get deported and prevent him to return back.
@@Nico-rw1uoif they catch him ?
The video and location is there for the whole world to see, he’s not hard to find, actually lots of expats ended up like that
@@Nessyk01how do you know he’s taking drugs and alcohol ?
If you live on the streets then you will look like that
Greg has done well by the compassion you've shown him. Thank you, Alex !!.....................the rest is up to him.
Agreed
Thank you
You need to verify this guy's story from a few people back in England. He seems like a huckster. Are you just taking his word for all these excuses? 10 bucks says anything you give him will wind up "stolen", and he's actually just selling it for cash.
Verify a story from a bloke living in the street ? You think he's lying then and he's actually rich? Just doing it for a laugh 😂
Yeah he might sell that rucksack, good point mate . Ffs
You seriously are a Diamond! How kind, generous and an absolute gentleman!!!
You're a human angel. You have a beautiful heart. Keep on doing what you are doing. This world needs people like you. You are restoring faith in humanity. Blessings always on your journey.
Thank you!
Man you're an advocate person promoting help for this man. Your work should be recognized for helping others in dire needs in a foreign country. Keep up the good work, and I always look to your posts and find encouraging information about living abroad. One of these days, I'll find my way back there. Spent time in Bacolod in 2021 during the height of the pandemic but left after unable to travel much due to covid restrictions. I wish to get back settling in one of the beautiful islands.
Thank you!
Alex you have given this guy a second chance in life and he’s been very lucky! But from here it’s all down to Greg, and if he chooses to make it OR just end up back where he was.. Wishing him all the best and interested to hear an update 🙏
Thank you for helping ,but anyway even hes facing of poverty he's in good condition,unlike in other country ..most of the homeless are addicted,thanks to pilipino community he eat and not starving..our community help even in a small amount of food..
Thank you for helping that man. I have never been to the PI but the Filipino people here in SoCal are wonderful and loving.
Mate you are a good human being, thanks for your effort
Thank you 😊
Well done helping this man. Of all the places to be homeless, the streets of the Philippines is not good.
You mentioned about Kabankalan in Negros Occidental where I came from but now residing abroad.
Kabankalan is a small charter city and economically progressing and Greg will like it there, especially the locals.
I will continue to follow up his situation throughout his journey to find a place he can call home.
Interesting
Thank you!
Is that the one who the monkey on the logo?
He is now is Salong, homeless outside the school at the market.
@@codybrucewilliams how did he get there. ?
That's really remote and far from the city.
Alex........YOU SIR is Heaven sent! Thank you for giving some faith back in humanity! YOU sir is a GOOD MAN! Hope to meet you when I fly down. Take great care my friend! This fellow has a chance and opportunity to turn his life around. Thank you and all of the supporters!
Thank you for your kind words
Youre a Good Samaritan,, thanks for helping Greg,, hope this will be d beginning of his new life 🥳🥳👍👍🙏
Yeah unfortunately he has no plans to change his life. Only plans for more money =more substance. An excuse for everything was a big clue. Kudos and all the respect to you for trying. Looking forward to follows and catching up on these videos 👍
That's why we need an update about a month from now.
Someone sees reality
Thank you for helping him and God bless you.
I meet greg in ferry last day and we're going in the same place in Kabankalan
Perfect! Thank you for letting me know 😊💪🤝
Nice!
Cool!
They way his face lit up when he knew he was getting money right then worried me a lot.
There's nothing to worry about there's a 100% chance the money is going on shabu so not sure what Ur question is
Some of these Stranded Sex Tourist (SST) doesn't know their limits, and ends up living on the streets. You will find them everywhere on major cities in Philippines.
Karma for they lust
Really?? I must be so naiive!!!
@@queenofthebutterflies5212
Yes. Especially in Cebu City where they are after for younger girls. They stay until their money gets depleted or spent, losing all control of the situation.
That I also think
Gary Glitter went down that path although it might have been Thailand.
I'm from England this guy is definitely a drug user and for him to want to stay homeless in a foreign country makes me think what he's running away from.
No man on this earth has been robbed so much.
The two times he was talked to he did not seem to be on drugs or strung out. He said he wasn't doing drugs in the other video. I deal with users everyday, to me he doesn't seem like he is.
I agree. He could get consulate support with new documents and even repatriated. Every excuse under the sun not to do that. He's in trouble running from something. If I got in trouble abroad, I'd be climbing over the embassy wall to get help.
No problem. Yes correct , in the videos he 'seems' straight. @@iloveyouamberappel
@@iloveyouamberappel He said if he goes back to England they'll put him in an alcohol or drug rehab centre. Why do you think he said that?
I think you found your calling in life helping people that are down and out and need a helping hand is for you You're a natural you're perfect Don't give up Keep at it it's a life worth living👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you ! I wish I had the resources to give back more often. But credit goes to all the viewers 👏👏
This guy's a con artist f****** He's in the next city over doing the same thing now with the same b******* story... Guys a scam or bum It will never leave the Philippines doesn't want to go home
being homeless in philippines is probably better than being homeless in the UK or US
at least it's warm.
You live on another planet you plonker 😅😅 🇬🇧
It’s very cold in the US. One of the homeless in California told me that she got so cold that she saw her soul left her body.
@@yennguyen-uj3ri Now that is the most stupid comment I've ever heard 🙄
No, being homeless In Hawaii, now you’re talking.
You did a wonderful job helping Greg. Thank you!😊
God bless you Alex you have done so many things for Greg as well as others I hope all goes well with him Take care Alex 🙏🏿🆒😎👍
Thank you! I hope he gets to his destination safely. Last I heard he was heading there and emailed his new home.
@@Livingabroadalex That's good to hear 👍
He is not leaving the Philippines.
From 8:23 through 9:09 when the money is being discussed between you two, the workman in the blue Tshirt nearest both of you had an inordinate interest in the conversation. Its been a good solid charitable effort on this channel's part. Hope for the best for this down on his luck fellow & hope everything turns out well for him. That said he seems like a bit of a fast talker. There was something about this "clearance date" that he seemed pretty hard to nail down on.
Fully agree with you 100%
Something isn right ! 🙃
He's not the only foreigner in the Phils. who needs help. On ''every man has a story'' there's another foreigner down on his luck needing help to get back to the US. Seems like many of them just go the the Phils with some money thinking it will last forever. Doesn't work out that way.
They aren't " Down on their luck". Luck has nothing to do with it. They all become grifters and need to be deported. Giving them money doesn't help but immigration putting them on a flight home will. Report this grifter to immigration.
Difference is the guy on the other channel has ( so he says) hundreds of thousands in a 401k plan that he cannot access from the Philippines. The guy in this video is broke broke.
Thank you so much Sir for helping Greg and hope you will never give up helping others that need help, thank you God Bless ❤🙏❤️
Thank you
You sir, are a great human being. God bless.
I hope this man makes the best out of the opportunity.
I really hope I'm wrong but I get the feeling he will be back there again and maybe already. I do hope he gets back on track though.
im sure its not the last time. hope to help more foreigners that have a same sitiation like him. GOD bell Alex, you have a plus points in heaven... (PLUS 10 ka sa Langit)
Thank you 😊
Alex you just restored my faith 🙏 in society.
Your an Angel 😇, and we love you!
You have definitely made me ,and many others "SUBSCRIBERS"
GOD DOES STILL EXISTS 🙏
THANK YOU BROTHER.......
Thank you 😊
@@Livingabroadalex YOUR welcome 🙏
Great to see Greg has everything he needs to get back on track mentality and physically you are a blessing this shows what we can do to help when we pull together.
Thank you 😊 you guys are the ones that made all this possible.
What a wonderful person you are Alex God bless you
You sound like the Randall Pearson character from the series 'This Is Us'
How can a tourist be allowed to stay in any country when they have no funds? This would not be allowed to happen in Sydney Australia, the assumption would be that he'd resort to making money some how.
Best Wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪☘🇮🇪
Begorrah Pat !!!
Big thanks to everything you did for Greg; you are God sent to him; you are the best;
I see homeless forgein here all the time, its by there own design, just a month ago a England man in McDonald's asking for money, I say your should be ashamed, he laughs i ask why he not go home, , he go this where the drug and girls are, his clothes look like not change in years, a American living under the bridge on Zapote road, when he ask for help i say i get a bus fare for him to the usa embassy, ,but say didnt want go home, So iturn my back and walk on, You help a fiol, but you can't change one
Can you do another update for this one to check in with the guy who gave him somewhere to stay and work? Would be cool to hear how he's doing in a few weeks? Cheers.
Alex God bless you for this kind of act, we can see that you have a beautiful heart and an incredible soul......God bless you
Thank you and everyon else foe the support 🙏 😊
I am glad he’s had some help with accommodation and living money . With Greg’s wealth of experience and widespread knowledge of living in the Philippines why wouldn’t someone steer him in the way of setting up a CZcams channel , he would be very successful and he’d make an extremely good living . He just needs some encouragement.
He said he didn't want to go back to The U.K. coz he doesn't know anyone there but it's also a possibility the police may be after him in the U.K.........don't soot the messenger ( being me) but it is a possibility.
You people are great !!! To help a fellow human being that is down and hopeless God Bless you all !
Thank you!!
Fantastic video shows human kindness at its best. Well done to everyone who helped Greg. God bless you all😊
Thank you!
@@Livingabroadalex thank you for believing in people.
he comes up with excuses for not doing anything, hes on the run from something in england
My thoughts exactly 👍🏻
Not a big fan of vloggers or something but it melted my heart watching this video keep it up mate. Godbles you
Thank you.
You have a kind and generous heart . You will be blessed abundantly .
Thank you 😊
struggling for survival - but had 18usd cigarettes stolen.. seems like a life full of poor decisions... (and he throws his cig butts on the ground - yuk!!!) but big respect for taking the effort to help him out..
he flipped them, and made some money from it
GREAT STUFF...I LOVE THEY WAY YOU ACCEPT HIM, AS YOU SEE HIM...TO HELP HIM...
If you have time try to visit redemprorist church area. There is also a foreigner there wandering around the area and i guess this foreigner is suffering from mental illness....I hope you can help this person as soon as possible....just try to ask people in the redemptorist area about this person. Thank you.
This just looks so fishy I think there is a lot more to this man living this way
Should always show all money and receipts when doing charity work just for transparency
His wife took his home and all his money and belongings. Yes like many stories it happens, same as Filipino working abroad, they still can become destitute and as good as homeless. Don’t judge
Exactly right
@@ealingbroadway2000 no one is judging just stating facts of what I see , everyone knows your talking points so move on
@alanbull-fx1um report me
You have a good heart Sir to helping people and Godbless!!!
Do you have any update on Greg? He seems to have things "stolen" a lot from him.
No idea where he is
@@Livingabroadalex you have the contacts of those people who wanted to help him, gave him shelter and job, you could have called them to see if he really went there.
If not, you have tried your best to help him, now let him help himself.
@nataliaahatmarini7812 I did and I didn't hear back
Also I was not in PH for 2 months etc
I'll provide an update on him when I hear back
Very kind thank you for being the 1 percent human.
Greg seems nice but it's really obvious that Greg isn't looking to change his circumstances. No judgment, you can just tell his current situation is where he's comfortable right now
I watched all 3 parts now. In my opinion although you have tried to do the right thing in helping Greg, I reckon you have wasted you time and other peoples funds.
I don't see this fella at all that genuine, as there's a lot excuses and little acceptance of him admitting he has made bad decisions. I grew up in the same part of England as this man and his demeanor/ character type are found in most of the crappy pubs propping up the bar and complaining about the government, ex-wife's, lack of works etc, the list goes on. He's choice is to be a victim and blame everyone but himself. Maybe i'm wrong, but i doubt it....
Agree'd I'm from Manchester and can tell a mile off he's ungenuine and has been an obvious drug addict for quite some time, feel sorry for everyone trying to help by sending him money it's just going straight in the drug dealers pocket 🤣🤣 just like when you give a homeless person in the UK money it'll go straight on drugs, very sketchy why he doesn't want to come back to the UK he could be known for a bad crime😶 funny how everything of the slightest value is always "robbed" more like sold ha.
@Jay-wk1gn yep, when you grow up in the North, you get six sense to these types of blaggers. Just another lost soul in Wetherspoons.
Jeez that guy in the blue t-shirt is looking hard at the situation - im hoping hes just curious and not casing the situation for some easy cheddar. Anyway well done to you on rendering much needed assistance and I hope he turns it round and takes it all the way
Why they leave the UK go to that country to live on the street can't understand
"You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink",........ I guess the rest is up to him now
Yes it is.
Will done good on you to help him with jeopardy! God bless you for not judging him. You just a genuine Samaritan.
The greatest gift anyone gave this Man was the gift of trust, the respect to say "here have this, I trust you're decision on what you do with it" . . thats worth more than the money, no matter WHAT his life choices are
The gift of a gab you naive lad.
He’s gonna grab that cash and run…every excuse in the book….dude don’t waste your time with this guy.
FACTS💯. Smart articulate people in this situation always have a vice and they always say they don't and tell stories of getting robbed and ripped off by some crazy bird. It's almost predictable.
I'm sure he had a wild 3 months partying and now his telling the same story to a naive westerner for a few pesos.
You gotta wonder what family problems he had....with no family there somehow 🤔 🤷
@@arykdaknowmad390 You know sometimes it does just happen that a person finds themselves with no one. He says all family are gone, not broken contact due to problems.
Personally, at his age this has happened to me: no immediate family left in this country after parents die, partner and my 2 life--long friends die in the space of 2 years. Suddenly everything is gone. Thankfully I have not lost my assets or property. But I can see how just one more stroke of bad luck and I'd be on the streets relying on charity and services for a roof over my head. Not because I'm a druggy or some kind of low life.
The degree to which the people in these comments refuse to believe he has not caused and chosen the situation he's in is disturbing. At the same time, I can see what people are talking about. Some of this 'look' he has, that people are judging him on, may be a result of decades of hardship and loss, rather than some inherent flaws. I can see that something in his face and manner that I have also seen in homeless/addict populations, and he didn't seem genuinely interested in what was on offer (other than the cash).
The homeless man looks irresponsible person. He stayed in the Philippines as not a retired person, to get financially stable to live in the Philippines.
I hope this was 3 or more days delayed. He is a walking target right now with $$$ Peso's. Great work all that cared enough to help out Greg. Sketchy situation he was in.
5 days delayed
If he comes back to the UK then he'll still be homeless but with bad weather.
Why don't you raise funds for actual poor homeless Filipinos in the Philippines.
Great idea. Send me money and I'll distribute it.
Wow. Well done. He owes you a LOT. I hope he values it, because he is full of excuses
You are a good man, with a big heart for others. I hope your work paid off on Greg.
Thank you. He seems to be off the streets
Alex what a God send you’ve been for Greg. Please update us again in a few months. I’m following you from 🇺🇸 & find your content interesting & insightful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Great job man, Changing world one person at a time through kindness and generosity of a community!
Thank you 🙏
Never ceases to amaze me these guys always have money to buy Smokes and have the gift of the gab , And always have excuses for everything ,i am never convinced with the vast majority of these guys
MUCH more to this story and the guy.
FOREIGNERS ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED ANY BARANGAY CLEARANCE! Passport is all that is needed.
I hate to say this as your heart is in the right place but, you got played 😢
Did you miss the part where he doesn't have a passport or any other ID? He needs it to buy ferry ticket
100% True, he is lying.I'm travelling to Philippines for over 20 years and have met too many farangs in cebu to know, he ain't right, some farangs love living on the streets, its nothing for them, some love suffering, some lie for ever, its all part of the life they are living.
in Cebu, people DO NOT STEAL as he claims, he was OFTEN, Its not brazil or US or UK....people live you alone for the most part, his barangay clearance is a dead giveaway. His whole story is a MADE UP OF LIES.
If he doesn't have a passport then how has he got his visas renewed?
@doggy55915 renewed prior to losing it
@@doggy55915His wife took his home and his money, his passport and documents were stolen too, his ex wife was done for drugs and her family no different. A previous visa is still valid and he says no use renewing expensive UK passport as he doesn’t need it, just his barangay clearance. So my guess is he needs that at least to allow travel considering no passport
What a wounderfull fella. Wish him all the best in life
Nothing against donations. I got the whole story. But I think the effort will be in vain. I have my doubts that he really wants to get out of his situation. (barangay clearance)
There will always be new alleged problems that prevent him from improving his situation.
That's what I think anyway. But of course I could be wrong.
But of course all the best and good luck for Greg.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope so too 😊
He should start CZcams channel I would love to continue to see his story
How could his tourist visa be up to date? He hasnt left the country to make a tourist visa application and has already over stayed. Hes been there 14 years on a tourist visa?
Thank you so much for helping this poor British person. I wish you the best.
