- Building Relationships in the Community/The REAL Expats of Dumaguete Exposed!@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 In this video, Expats join together to better serve the community and city that we call home. Expat Goldfinger worked tirelessly to gather funds, order, assemble, and give away 500 helmets to help protect the children of Dumaguete
If 10,000 helmets given away just saved 1 life
It was well worth it 🙏🏽❤️👍🏽
Hats off to Dumequette
X Pats , Very Cool 😎
Thank you 🙏😊
Paul (Old Dog) I admire and respect you. You rise above the "Dramaguete" scene and take the high road choosing to focus on the many positives in life and giving the focus to ex-pats who are putting positive energy back into that community. GOLDFINGER, thank you again for organizing this. There is no doubt you have SAVED LIVES!
Thanks for sharing
This made me cry with joy. Giving is so much more rewarding than taking from others. Thank you to Paul for filming and to all the expats who are helping to make these kids' lives better by getting out the message to be safe on the roads.
Well done Goldfinger , Paul , and all the expats involved , and a BIG shout out to the Wonderful Teachers who helped to show there Love for the Children ❤
Absolutely
This was one of the greatest act of kindness for the children there as well as to protect their safety when riding their bikes or parent's scooters!
A big thanks to Paul, Mae, Goldfinger, and the rest of the crew for their hard work and dedication!
Well Thank you very much 🙏😊
It will also teach them good lessons for the future. When I was a kid, we thought it was only the uncool people that wore helmets.
God bless everyone that was involved in the helmet give away. If it helps one kid, it will be priceless. 🙂👍👍👍🙏
So True ❤
Excellent Job Goldfinger, Paul and rest of Expats in helping the local community. Im here in the US helping filipina teachers adjust to Virginia USA! Im actually teaching one filipina how to drive.
Goldfinger, Ex Pats, Paul & Contributors, a huge Thank you! Giving is such a blessing for the kids.
Our pleasure!
“Kindness is free to give but priceless to receive” ….. great job to the volunteers and thanks for initiating this! ❤
Helmets are not priceless. Please donate.😊
That's amazing giving helmets to all the children. I am sure Goldfinger and all those who helped will learn from this event as well as the first one, and do another in the future. This really shows how much the expats care about children in the community. I am from Canada and just learned a few weeks ago that there are over 1 million people from the Philippines living in Canada now, which is quite amazing considering we only have just under 39 million people here. We welcome them and are glad that they represent Canada so well as a country of friendly people.
What amazed me about the Philippines? Was how patient the kids are and how respectful they are. My hats off to you gentlemen And ladies
That’s so typical of Filipino kids. Respect is ingrain.
In behalf of the people of philippines particularly in Dumaguete city. I would like to personally thanks the Expats behind this Very Generous Gift helmets for free it saves life. Mr Goldfinger Mr Paul Old Dogs New Tricks and the Gangs. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Your Amazing People. ❤❤❤
You're very welcome , it was our pleasure
Thank you Goldfinger for your generosity. You saw the need and you took action. Thanks to Paul and Baby Mae for assisting, as well as the two expats Don and Mike( i fope o got their names right). It’s not only the children who looked so happy, it’s all of you guys too!! Thanks again and may more blessings come your way🙏❤
Yes...They're all Amazing.
Man, Goldfinger made me cry like a baby! This is such a major endeavor, as three kids were killed on a bike in my barangay in February.
I'm so sorry to hear that , 😔
WOW!!!!!!!! You guys are way too much!!!!! I watch the 1st time you guys handed out helmets, but this time it actually brought tears of joy to my eyes. I watching this grand event while eating breakfast here in Arizona, and almost choked on my toast from crying so much and not breathing correctly. What a super great occasion for everyone! Soooooooo many beautiful and cute kids receiving something which could actually save their lives in the near future!!! I’m sure every kid will remember you guys and your gifts to them the rest of their lives. Thanks Paul for another on of your great productions. It’s really a shame that ALL the expats could not have time RO come and help……….
Thank you, Paul, for vlogging this and showing the other side of good expats. I challenge the 2 negative expats to get involved and turn your hate into something positive. We will accept both of you with open arms. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! God bless
A true example of impact on a community that will both change & save lives.
Great job Goldfinger and company and giving back to the community . These are the things I like to see and taking the High Road .
Nothing better then seeing the joy of a child. Blessings to each of you that have helped in this endeavor. Thank you for sharing Paul and blessings to you and Mae.
It's important to note how respectful and grateful the children were. Kudos to them for being so very well behaved!!!
A big thanks for your help today D
@@-goldfinger2695well done, sir! You are a credit to the community. ❤
I am observing that Asian children are respectful and grateful always and everywhere.
@@kbtred51
yes they are
My experience travelling by car in the PI, Filipino kids are almost always well-behaved... 🥰
Blessings Gold finger, Paul n Mae and others 🙏🏼 a great initiative for change and awareness regards to part of a child’s safety, …most important.!
A little extra more for the cause 😊👍 You’re all doing a fine job 👏👏
A big Thanks Victoria
You have a big heart and I'm sure you will be blessed 10 fold.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much Victoria
@@-goldfinger2695 You’re welcome 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Paul, you said volumes without saying much. Keep up the good work. Positivity always outshines negativity, goodness always prevails over evil intentions, and light overcomes darkness.
Much thanks to Goldfinger and all including you Paul for this outpouring of generosity and love. Leave it to the Old Dog to expose the Expa
Thanks everybody involved! Good action for the children 👍 give back to the community where you live and get accepted by the locals is great
We agree!
I saw a gentleman expat in the video that had a recent accident on a motorbike, really drives home the importance of a helmet. Also, very happy the gentleman seems to be doing great now!
He goes by "D", he got 3 broken ribs as well as Road Rash on both sides top n bottom of his body and a dislocated thumb.
But he is recovering, Thank You 🙏
Hey Paul, this is one of the most uplifting videos we have seen ... expats giving back to their community in a meaningful way.
BRAVO to Goldfinger for undertaking this with the assistance & donations of so many of you👏👏👏
Thank you Aida ❤
@@-goldfinger2695Thank you, sir ... that is a monumental undertaking. Blessings to you & your family 🙏 watching from Canada🇨🇦
Thank you for the good works Expats of Dumaguete.
You are one of Go’s instrument to help the kids.
Love to join you soon❤
God Bless🙏🙏
You're right about the "one coin", Paul. There has been a lot of pettiness and immaturity recently - you'd think by the time a guy reaches a certain age he has more self-awareness and control. No need to watch those folks anymore. If you feed garbage into your mind and life, that's what will come out, too.
Appreciate you keeping your head above the water and focusing on the positive. Always enjoy your videos.
So kind and generous from these Expats! They have a purpose! Congratulations and so proud to give Expats a positive reputation and representation!
Expats in general are very generous and thankful to be here .
Giving back is the least we can do ❤
Outstanding safety gesture by REAL Expats of Dumaguete. Welldone everybody.
Yes, thank you
As a Filipino thank u for these helmets for the kids. We really appreciate everyone of u, and hoping everyone of you a wonderful and happy life in our country. Don't think that you are al tourist here, you are one of us. ❤❤❤
Kind words 🙏
Thank you John ❤
Wooow!! 😅❤❤ so very good 👍 👏 👌 Paul and Goldfinger 😊❤. This is the best vlog, really ❤. I appreciate all your efforts EXPATS OF DUMAGUETE , GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏🥰
God bless you all!
This video jerked a few tears from my eyes. Goldfinger, Paul, Baby Mae, etal, thank you all, so much!
A young man was even petmitted to oray abd give thanks to God publucly, which was very awesome since that's nit alliwed in America now.
Paul/Goldfinger when you're ready to start on the bext helmet campaign let me know and I'll contribute.
Thank you expats of dumaguete. I'm sure kids are happy to have their helmet, Helping the community. I hope local government will keep you all safe while living in dumaguete. God bless
Well done Goldfinger and Expats of Dumaguete giving back and keeping the children safe . Keep up the good work .
What an awesome video grass hopper. I’m happy to watch a positive video to help the needy. God bless you all. Keep up the good work Old Dog. Take care
Thank you for watching
Glad to see you are not doing a mudslinging video on American CZcams expats in Dumaguete.
Wow, a Godly gestures to the community of Dumaguete. God Bless you folks community minded EXPATS AND FILIPINA WIVES 👍🙏❤️.
Great job giving back to a community who took you in. Warms the heart to see people who can give back do so. Thanks for sharing the moment with us Paul.
Thank you for your nice words and support 💗🙏
Outstanding Paul and all that helped and participated.
Congratulations Gold finger, Paul, Baby Mae, Darryl and Danny. This is one of the beautiful memories that a child can remember once they grow up. You all left a very good impression to the Dumaguete community. This is so heartwarming.
I hope so and thank you ❤
Good project. Name on back is important. Stickers are a nice touch.
Thank you Guys and Gals for your generosity and concern for the children's safety! God bless all of you more and more!
And Thank You Miro for watching ❤
Absolutely terrific Paul. Such a positive contribution to the community. You're great guys.
It’s so nice to see all the smiley faces of the kids and the teachers of the elementary school. Thank you for your best efforts wonderful expats of Dumaguete. More power to you and hope that you wouldn’t get tired of helping our countrymen. Paul and company, you can run for Mayor or Barangay leader in your town in Dumaguete and I bet you guys would win now hehe😊.. nice to see May and friends helping out for the safety of the kids. Mabuhay the expat community of Dumaguete. I would love to donate to such project in the future.
Foreign nationals are welcome to sit in homeowners' associations.
What a great thing you guys are doing for the community!! God bless ❤
Thank you 🙏
It looked like chaos, but WOW what a wonderful thing Goldfinger did for the kids of Dumagete! He certainly deserves a lot of thanks! 👍👍👍
My reward was the kids themselves
Thanks for watching Vinnie
Bless you guys! My wife and I are retiring from our government jobs in a few years and we want to continue our missionary work in the Philippines!
Wow 😮Thanks Paul for covering this very important giveaway…Thanks Goldfinger …what a blessing you are…and thanks to all the expats that sponsored this amazing giveaway….and thanks Baby Mae for your smiles and help😊
And Thanks for watching ❤😊
What a refreshing video to have watched 🎉 Makes me a lil prouder to be a 🇵🇭 Expat.
This is Fantastic! Love what is being done for the kids. Nice to see a positive situation. 😊
My wife and I have been watching for a month or so, and I have to say that you guys are absolutely a inspiration! Seeing all of you get together to help the community was just heart warming. And as a driving Instructor, living in the burbs of Chicago and watching and seeing how many motorcycles are in that area especially and knowing the dangers of motorcycles, this mission is unbelievably important. Goldfinger, you're great man, this is your idea and too see you and the others and all the support you had put it into action is just fabulous. My wife and I have a trip planned to Cebu in October and we put Dumaguete on our itinerary because of you guys. We still have sometime before retirement as I'm only 51, but I will be doing what I can to help your guys causes keep up the good work.
Thank you 👍
Let's meet when you get here ❤
@@-goldfinger2695 That sounds great, we would love to meet you!
When asked, most Filipinos would say helping their children get educated is the most prized gift anyone could give them. Hence, several of my friends and I have sponsored children over the years to the point where some have graduated from college and are giving back to their community now. I am guessing some of you are also doing something like this already and certainly suggest everyone consider it. During my last trip, we started helping yet another child. The need is everywhere. We can't help everyone but we all certainly can help someone...may it be so for all of us!
You helped one child at a time succeed
Expats here helped hundreds from possible head injury to death .
There is no right or wrong .
But unless that child stays safe, they will not need a college education.
True! Contribute as you see fit! And no reason why you can't do both!
Funds are limited
These helmets are pushing the limits of my efforts ❤
That's why next time I'm back over there I plan to take my daughter, granddaughter and wife to get their helmets,hat's something I'll always worrying about because a helmet saved my life.
Absolutely amazing everything is amazing the man praying the school lady a woman of god these people could teach British schools the way forward all the children being blessed and no doubt life’s saved with the protection of their helmets’ I’m proud of you American guys God bless you all and to God be the glory 🙏🏻 thank you Paul old dog for sharing your beautiful video
all i can say is you guys are a great bunch of expats helping the kids in your area , shows that all expats are not aholes keep up the great work
Golddd-Finggger 🎶 James Bond is singing yours and other xpats praise on this event. 😊😊💪💪.... awesome and true blessings to all❤❤👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Hahahaha. I like what you did there 😁
I love that energy. It is called LIFE
This is the type of content people love to see, positivity and the expats making a difference in the community, I'm sure those kids will forever remember you.
Little did I imagine Goldfinger is such a caring person, comparing the earlier interviews Paul had with him as a womanizer :). Thank you sir Goldfinger, Paul and all the expats who contributed and helped on this effort, you guys are an inspiration.
Lots of men move on past the phase of 'womanizer', be it midlife crisis, making up for a scarcity in their youth, supply/demand, etc., especially when they find the right woman!
Pretty sure the womanizer characterization was just in good fun! And a funny video it was, for sure! Very entertaining 😂👍
@@tryscienceYes , it was for fun
I have a wonderful Filipina for many months now and she is a keeper ❣️
@@-goldfinger2695 Great to hear you found the one, you deserve it. I wish you all the BEST.
@@joelferrer7084Thank you Joel
Thanks Paul for reporting live. 😮My
Wife and I truly look forward to being apart of this community when we arrive later this year to establish Dumaguete as our home.😮
Heartwarming! ❤ Positive leadership at work 😎👍
Great Job Goldie!! Built it up to 500 units AND your distribution model now ensure each kid gets a helmet!!! Outstanding!
Practice makes perfect 😀👍
Goldfinger has a huge heart for the children.💚💛❤️🧡
@@eddydavis9548
Kids don't own motorcycles, but they are passengers
Here in the Philippines 95% of the families own a cycle and use it everyday with their kids riding on the front or back , even babies.
To and from school, shopping, doctors, weekends on the beach or to the park. Visiting friends and relatives.
No helmets, no shoes 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
God bless Gold Finger and eveyone who helped..thanks Paul
Well done, Gents and Ladies! Building connections with the locals as you yourselves become local, reaching out in service to fellow residents and providing protection for the younger ones. ~applause~
Thanks for noticing ❤
@@-goldfinger2695 -- thanks for doing something worthy of the notice!
Thank you for organizing and spending your time, energy and funds on this well worth event. It's more fun to give than to receive. Very inspirational, more xpats should be like you.
Cheers to that ❤❤
Here is what you do in your town. Not spread nasty stories and hate, but help others and spread love, kindness, and consideration. Great job everyone!
Actions speak louder than words 🙏💗
Lucky kids ❤thank you so much expats in dumaguete.
Thanks Ann
Kids are our future, this is wonderful! Pat on the back for helping your community
Great job, seeing and hearing those happy children is music to my heart. It is a lot of hard work and will possibly save some lives or serious injuries. Thank you so much to the expats.
May God bless everyone who contributed to such a great cause. It was so heartwarming to see everyone's enthusiasm and excitement at the prospect of receiving such a wonderful and important gift. In particular, I couldn't believe how the children reacted! You guys really touched them and you could see they really appreciated it. Well done folks.
Yes , we all gained from the event ❤❤
Wish I was there to be a part of this loving party. Keep The Faith guys & gals. Hope to meet you all in person someday soon with my pinay.
Just wonderful guys! Great job! We need more people like you! Bless you all!
Beautiful to see the positivity your spreading & squashes the negativity from one bad apple .
Paul that was so cool. Brought a tear to my eyes a couple times. God Bless.
Wow that is so awesome what you guys are doing.
Cracking good job Goldfinger and guys.
Congrats to all of the expats that made this event happen!!! It was truly a needed event because we all seen first hand most are not wearing a helmet. Kudos to all that made it a very successful event.
Thank you kevin
That is so cool thanks guys a gal's ❤
This was an excellent event and very impressive! More organized, more helmets, better appropriately sized helmets available and multiple people helping at each station to assist with proper fitting & personalization. Going from 150 helmets the last time to 500 this time is impressive & I'd bet your next helmet giveaway to be at 1000 helmets or more so congratulation on such a great turnout along with the help and organization from the school staff & other ex-pats & friends helping out. The only recommendation I can think of for next time--have signs to label the waiting lines (i.e. grade 1-3, 4-x, etc.) for the kids waiting to get their helmet to make it easier for the kids to be in the correct line for the correct helmet size for their head. Once again, thanks to everyone involved to make this event such a huge success.
Yes
Already made note of that in my follow up notes for the next event
Thanks for your input
Thanks for your donation
Each time we will get bigger and better with your input and support 💗
That was so Awesome! What a great idea for a video, showing the good expats that give us a good name.
Also great idea to give out those helmets. Those kids are beautiful and is good to see them happy and staying safe.
Thank you Paul and thank you to your friend :-)
Your welcome
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Many thanks to you all for what you did, highly appreciated.
Paul, I am buying a home there I planned last winter and I am so glad I did I am impressed with you ex-pats did such a wonderful thing, Paul where can I send money? for these donations. I and my wife Nina loved meeting you and other ex-pats I am planning to be there in January see you then.
Always the high road Paul!!! I'm proud to call you my friend. 😊😊😊
You're the best!
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I have alot to live up to Paul, thank you again.
I like to see these community projects happen
Bravo to them !
@@RetireandGo absolutely!!! Make the world a better place, one deed at a time
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234No, you're the best. I've watched you help more than one unfortunate person. You're one of the good guys Paul.
Thanks for creating this event and here's something for looking forward to your next helmet giveaway event!
Totally awesome Napoleon
I thank you and more importantly the children are thankful
It's caring people like you that make our world a better place to live
You shall be blessed in knowing you saved children from head injuries or worse .
I personally bless your act of kindness and generosity
God bless you 🙏
Goldfinger ❤
Wonderful event as Goldfinger along with all the support and help from everyone involved as it was a great idea going to the school directly as the Vice Principal was such a sweet lady and it was Fabulous to see all the Beautiful children who appreciated the event. And if it saves one child from getting hurt or killed ten Every penny and second was worth it. So many blessings shared in coming together..
Thank you so much for those kind words .
I hope no child needed a helmet because of an accident . But the reality is not if but when 😢
God bless the children 🙏❤🙏
That was awesome! So nice to see this and we need more of it!
You've Heard of The Midas Touch.
This Is The Gildfingwr Touch. 😊
Fantastic and Look How Happy Those Children Are 😊
Bud Brown used to find kids or adults in the streets to give away slippers. In 2013, I met Bud Brown & wife in person and donated slippers for his great expat project 😊
This is such a blessing,,well done..❤ we were able to send a few boxes of toys to Brit,,and will again here in a few months,,We have so much here,,spread the wealth folks..It makes such a difference,,once again GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you
Great stuff :) I’ll bet you guys made many parents happy too 👍. Good job to everyone involved.
Thank you 👍
Great effort guys----valued members of the community
Much appreciated!
It is awesome to see expats give back to the community when some take so much and give nothing in return….that’s great!!…good on you guys!
As viewers we are indirectly helping with this cause as long as Paul pays it forward. Hopefully thats the case.
Fantastic!!!!!!!
That was very i felt the love across my screen the kids were awesome. Keep up the good work
You are so kind
Wow great video guys! The recent drama there soured my view of Duma a bit, but you certainly have restored my faith in the Expats of Dumaguete! I applaud Goldfinger and the rest of the organizers, those who donated and the volunteers, and of course, Old Dog! That was a very touching act of charity by all and I was amazed by how good the kids were! I hope to be involved in these types of activities when I get there. Cheers!
Please come down and help us. We could sure use great people like yourself❤
Very good deed,
This just goes to show how expats can do good for the children. Gold finger is a wonderful person. Good job to all the helpers. This is a positive situation here and the children win. All the negative vibes can move on. Thanks for sharing Paul.
Steve
Thank you Steve
Great job guys awesome
I’m so glad you did a CZcams of the experts are making a difference. It’s refreshing all this bitterness and pointing fingers doesn’t make anybody look good and it doesn’t help the community what you’re doing there with these guys on this showing of your CZcams is a good example a great example of ex-pats making a big difference. I’m planning on moving to the Philippines my fiancé lives over there and I I like what you guys are doing. I like your channel I plan on meeting you someday and having a conversation God bless.
