Merciful is a lovely loving woman, who has been through the mill, God Bless her, I really hope and pray she gets re-married one day ,and has a better future,A good husband is needed for her ..
Old men go to these countries to take advantage of young poor women. They know the poor women would put up with them for financial support. They don't want anything but money. They think all white men have money. They do have more than the native people. Those old men couldn't get a young woman from their own country. I find these stories amusing. They all get what they pay for. I don't even believe Mercy would have been there if he was broke. She's upset because she thought she would get something after he died. I don't feel sorry for her. Why would she even date some old man?
Videos like this serve as a good reminder about the importance of having something in writing (i.e. a will) to serve as a guide to settling your matters after you pass away. If Frank could afford to give an allowance of ~$900/mo., he certainly could afford a 1-2 hour consultation with a lawyer in the Philippines which would've been no more than $50 and could have prevented a lot of the aftermath that's been endured. Like the saying goes, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
I am so sorry that she was not given any dignity by his children. She deserves respect. That is so heartbreaking. She was and is going through enough grief now. Thanks Paul for shining a light on this. Hopefully other expats will listen and comprehend.
Old dog...You hit a Home run with this one...Mercy,.What a Beautiful Wonderful Woman..I wish I was there and I would comfort her and hug the crap out of her for being so wonderful..I always look for a woman like that...Next year when I come to visit...I hope she or someone like her is available..Thanks Paul for the video.
Ha Ha Ha 😂😂😂 at least the story seems to have Hooked at Least One Fish . Welcome to the Land of a Thousand Scams My Friend , send her a message ask her what her Price is for Short Time or Long Time 🤣🤣🤣 Just dont expect to be the Only Catfish in the Creek
I couldnt watch this in one go......... I had to keep pausing, to reflect on the sadness in this video.....I lived in the Philippines for 15 years from 2008 across Luyzon ,Bisays and Mindanao and also in Thailand and Indonesia. Im now 70 years old and back living in London UK since the covid pandemic in 2021. I came across many similar stories of distress and sadness on my many travels in Asia and this sad story brought back those memories. Mercy has a heart of Gold and is such a Beautiful Soul. God Bless You Mercy, and may you find happiness again in your Life. Maybe I will return to Cebu this winter. Thanks for the superb videos Paul. Best Regards : John
Paul, of all the people I want to thank, it is you! In very discreet ways you always try to help others. Your very character is one of helping the less fortunate of humanity. You have a good heart and ask nothing back in return for your kindness and compassion. Very much appreciated, brother!
Paul needs to stop with these poor pino lady e begging story's it starting to come off Grifting at least have the lady holding a picture of some guy any guy but just flat out having a teary eyed Pina sure looks like just another play for Cash
This is why cabin crew tell adults to put their oxygen mask on first, because sorting out kids and other people. You need to look after yourself first, before you can help anyone else. Before Frank started worrying about the welfare of a kid that wasn't his (and the consequent poor decisions from this), he should have been making sure that his own backyard was in order ie Wills, Power of Attorneys, Health, Plan B if the kids in the US don't want any part of his life, making sure Mercy has the adequate resources to deal with his eventual demise etc etc. I hope she can put this behind her and find happiness again.
With old dog using his YT mega-phone to lead the E-begging, I'm sure she'll pocket a few pieces of silver and the doggie will be that much closer to hitting his 100K sub mark.
Frank is 100% at fault these difficulties that this woman is experiencing. Don't blame the kids, don't blame the uneducated young Filipina, don't blame the girlfriend.
Once again you bring up the topics that few of us prepare for, but it is so important to prepare for it. Thank you again for the insight. My heart and prayers go out to Mercy. I hope she finds peace in the future.
I could have saved so much time and suffering with women if I never forgave. If you're in a new relationship and someone does something to hurt you and they ask for your forgiveness, just move on. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble. Frank should have just moved on.
@@GizmoMaltese yep, at age 23 my girlfriend cheated and rather than dumping her ass I was too weak to leave and accepted her apology. I then went out and cheated in response, which actually did help and made me feel “even “. In the end relationship failed a year later. I so wish I would’ve walked out when I had the chance.
I feel so bad for Mercy. She is a good woman. This type of scenario should be presented to the Senators in the Philippines and try to get them to make divorce legal, so this doesn't continue to happen to others in the future.
my wife is Filipina, and I am American, our Filipina friend out here in the states went through the same thing this poor woman is going through, same situation, our friend's husband was a friend of ours and when he died his kids came to our state and took everything he had, they were together for 10 years and the kids did not leave her anything and she was the one that took care of him the whole year he was sick, it was very hard watching the pain our friend went through, she had no authority to make decisions since they were not married, hey guys or girls if you hate your parents that much forget the money and leave it to the person that that took care of them and loved them. the moral of this story is, there are a lot of Scumbags out there, be careful, good video Paul
@@MikeBarbarossa That is why I married a Filipina my age 68 yrs old, we married 10 yrs ago. As a combat veteran I can't deal with drama and immaturity.
This is one of a few reasons I chose to leave the US. I solely took care of my parents for many years until the passed as well as my younger brother. My sibling and and nieces and nephews were completely absent and only tried to make the process harder for me. As soon as my last parent passed, I was on my way to SE Asia. People in the US have no heart. My story was repeated by all my friends. My family is ruthless and without a heart. Self centered. I love myself too much and chose to be as far away from them as possible for my well being. Her story is so sad, and so common when family are from US. I’m so so happy now in SE Asia surrounded by happy caring people instead of the self centeredness in the US.
Self centeredness, not taking responsibility for their lives, very unstable, dysfunctional childhood and not deciding to heal and move forward from those experiences, substance abuse.
As a Medical doctor ..... You CANNOT tell on looks alone who the father is. I have seen children who look 100% Filipino but who have a Western father and a mother who was 50% Western. Only DNA testing is legitimate. Secondly, I worked at a clinic where we saw loads of pregnant young women with Western older men ..... At least 80% of them admitted to us on the quiet that the Western partner is not the father but doesn't know. Be careful guys. To all intents, this lady is the "common law wife" but sadly, the Philippines doesn't recognise that. It is sad that he didn't leave a formal Will which is exactly what he should have done. If you are with a lady like this, put your future intentions in writing. The other big difficulty is that any money he did have, or widows pension, goes to his actual wife. Now, she should be able to legally claim the costs of the hospital back from his estate.
""You CANNOT tell on looks alone who the father is" - I will point you towards the movie Me, Myself & Irene for a prime example of how this statement is incorrect, haha. I agree with all else you said tho. Peace.
As a master toilet mechanic [plumber] I can usually, not always, tell the difference between and identify by sight ethnic Germans, Scottish, Filipinos, Viets, Chinese, several different areas of China, Korea, Japan Not boasting, just facts. DNA says my daughter is related to me, but myself and others can't see any resemblance. Life is funny.
This podcast brought me to tears... I feel such sorrow for this precious woman, who survived her lover. All of you x-pats out there, please give power of attorney to your significant other (married or not) with instructions on what to do in case of death or serious injury. Also make a simple will and testament so that your estate can be handled without much effort. Also, setup beneficiaries on all your accounts to avoid probate. This is an example of a good woman who wasn't taken care of - a simple mistake that is very common. A painful experience that no one wants to go through. God Bless you.
Good for Frank that he had 5 years of proper happiness and support with Mercy before he passed. Hopefully, Mercy will find a good soul in due course to care for her.
Well, a vasectomy is not 100%, it is not unheard of for people to manage to impregnate women with that procedure. I would take some DNA tests if i were you.
@@benktlofgren4710 It's 100% when you are certified as shooting blanks after the procedure. You can't just get the procedure and that is that. You have to complete the process. I'm certified. No swimmers are coming from me. Not for 30+ years now. Good luck pinning something on me.

So many red flags so many roads that could have been taken but we're missed it's all a learning curve I am sure Frank thought he was doing the best for everyone involved unfortunately things did not end very well for him. God bless you Paul take care
He made her promise to handle things the way he wanted, yet did not provide any way to pay for it and give her legal power. Also left her stranded after his demise. Scumbag. I feel sorry for Mercy.
So send her your Money , seems to me she made out very well with Franky if he even ever existed , again Sent the Poor Lady some of your Money if you think this story is True , But once you know Sad story's from Phillipino Ladies are a Dime a dozen you will probably just keep your Money why send money to the Land of a Thousand Scams we werent even blessed with her holding a picture of her Beloved Franky ( she met on a Dating site and was married to a young girl Knocked Up by someone Not named Franky) who was scammed by the first Pino lady and was Smart enough not to get Bit again
Frank really should have flown to America and divorced his young bride who was cheating on him and given Mercy proper status to take care of him and his resources when he passed, especially since he obviously had end of life discussions with her by telling her he wanted to be cremated right away. Poor Mercy. I hate that she had to go through all that, especially with people looking down at her when she was simply trying to do the right thing.
i didnt see any Frank did you , all i saw was a Teary Eyed Grifter seeking Money she could have been holding a Picture of Her Beloved Franky to at least make it Look good im wonder what Pauls cut is now that he has put out several or close to a dozen of these Tear Jerker need Money stories
Sad how these guys go to the Philippines and get themselves used. All the women in Frank’s life received some type of financial compensation from him. Not sure that love had much to do with any of this.
If Mercy were only concerned about money, she could have just told Frank's children that he had died and then left him there in the hospital without paying the bill. But she didn't do that. Instead she spent most of her savings from the allowance Frank had been giving her paying the 900 thousand peso bill. I've met Mercy, she and my partner have been friends since their school days together. She is every bit the woman of high integrity and character she appears to be in this video.
@danielcully6047 You do realize that everyone's bill isn't the same, right? Different procedures, different medicines, different lengths of stays, etc.
Thanks Paul for making this video and showing to all of us "expats and future expats" what can happen and how to avoid or prepare for the future. Mercy has a good and a "golden" heart because she cared for Frank and stuck with him to the very end even after he died. God Bless her, because there's not many women like her out there. Take care Paul and keep up the great work.
I had a friend in HK who was originally from Trinidad. He was being scammed by a Filipina who claimed her child was his so she demanded cash/support. Man, the kid was whiter than me and I am from the UK.
Just an FYI on divorce between a Filipina and a U.S. citizen married in the PI. My wife is a Filipina who married a U.S. citizen in 2004 in the Philippines and he brought her and her two young children to the U.S.. He divorced her in 2008 because he wanted her to send her young children back to the PI and she refused. During the years they was married she became a U.S. citizen. After divorce she was penniless and in a strange country (strange because he controlled her every move so she had no friends and didn’t know how to survive) with 2 young kids and somehow managed to scratch and fight and made a life for her and her kids in the U.S.. As you know, Filipinas can be a very very determined woman when it comes to their children and family. From 2008 until I met her in 2019 she somehow managed to put a roof over their heads, send her kids through school and onto college. And, she also managed to support her now 85 year old mother back in the PI and also help support her siblings and even put her siblings kids through university in the PI. All this time she never did anything for herself. Never ventured more than a few miles between her home and work all those years and just worked and worked and worked. And then we met and over time we decided to marry. But because of her deep roots to Filipino culture, she wouldn’t because she still considered herself married under Philippines law. I told her that it would be ok because she was considered divorced in the U.S. but she still insisted that we couldn’t because of being married in the PI and they don’t have divorce there. So I did some research and found that if a Filipina/Filipino is married to a foreigner in the Philippines and later the foreigner initiates and files for a divorce in the foreigners home country and the divorce is granted, that the Philippines will recognize the divorce and consider the Filipina single again. There are rules/laws that apply. It is critical that it’s the foreigner who initiates and files for the divorce in his own country and the divorce is granted and recognized in his home country. If it’s the Filipina that files for divorce then it’s not recognized in the PI. Then the Filipina has to get the legal divorce papers apostilled in the country of divorce and bring them to the PI and have them registered there and then the divorce will be recognized in the PI and she can then get married again in the PI. I know this because we did it and got married in Mabalacat, Pampanga in the PI in 2022. We didn’t even need the services of an attorney in the PI to facilitate things. As far as the Philippines is concerned, my wife was widowed at age 23 in 2001 (her Filipino husband was electrocuted when a wire fell to the ground during a storm and he got off his bike to move the wire off the road) and is now married to me. She’s now 47 and still looks like she’s 30 and treats me like her king. Life is good for me at age 67.
What a great woman! I am sorry for her loss... This is such a great story of all the good & not-so-good of the PH and really anywhere.. No good deed goes un-punished. I hope Mercy is able to find a new love once she is done mourning.
I am so sorry that she had to go through this with his children. How can you treat someone like that is beyond my comprehension. She is a beautiful and kind individual to do what she did for her significant other. Bless her.
Powers of Attorney are only valid while the person is alive. We went through this with my grandfather. My mother had power of attorney, but it lost all of its power as soon as he died.
Congratulations Paul I told you my comment about five videos ago mid-september 100,000 +?? We were subscribers when you had 100 + million years ago!! How's your father??, you have come a long way!! And the wife...
god bless your beautiful soul mercy! being a second lover to someone else, never ends well.. you deserve so much better my friend! thank you Paul for sharing this.
you wouldnt say that if it was a man men are too nice too women shes been told that 1000 times by men she looks old and worn out her smile does nothing to help my life why do you care?
I totally feel for so sorry for Mercy's loss. I lost my wife of 24 years back in 2017, unfortunately in 2020 I made an impulsive mistake (not in the Philippines should I mention), as you said Paul this isn't an exclusively Philippines phenomenon, but now I have met the love of my life and the lady I hope to get married to one day. There is hope and there's always somebody out there to drag you away from the misery. Such a brave lady to sit there and talk about how the person she obviously loved and who loved her, it brought me to tears.
Lovely lady, very sad to watch. I really hope she finds her peace soon and can move on with her life. She deserves a decent partner in her life. God bless her.
Power of attorney dies when the person dies. It is only valid during the persons lifetime. It is used when someone can't make decisions for themselves. The will comes into effect upon death and the power of attorney no longer is valid. Just went through that last year with my wife Weifang. I learned a lot during that time period.
I feel sad for Mercy's loss, and wish Frank had thought ahead for her, especially when he wasn't in the best of health. Hopefully there will be people like Frank that watch this video, and decide to get their affairs in order. We all like to avoid the thought of demise and push off things like the Will. I'm single, and have beneficiaries on all my accounts and a Transfer on Death Deed for my house, but there are other things I should do as well.
Thankyou Paul for helping Mercy, you are a gentleman.
Such a sweet woman heart of gold.
She is a cheater

So send her your Money , seems to me she made out very well with Franky if he even ever existed , again Sent the Poor Lady some of your Money if you think this story is True , But once you know Sad story's from Phillipino Ladies are a Dime a dozen you will probably just keep your Money why send money to the Land of a Thousand Scams we werent even blessed with her holding a picture of her Beloved Franky ( she met on a Dating site and was married to a young girl Knocked Up by someone Not named Franky) who was scammed by the first Pino lady and was Smart enough not to get Bit again
A good woman. A sad story. Thanks for sharing Paul
Thanks Paul for such great video content!!!
Frank really should have flown to America and divorced his young bride who was cheating on him and given Mercy proper status to take care of him and his resources when he passed, especially since he obviously had end of life discussions with her by telling her he wanted to be cremated right away. Poor Mercy. I hate that she had to go through all that, especially with people looking down at her when she was simply trying to do the right thing.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda
I agree with your advice, and true statement
Cannot divorce a Filipino wife if you were married in the Philippines in the United States
i didnt see any Frank did you , all i saw was a Teary Eyed Grifter seeking Money she could have been holding a Picture of Her Beloved Franky to at least make it Look good im wonder what Pauls cut is now that he has put out several or close to a dozen of these Tear Jerker need Money stories
@MelvinHux yes you can. My wifes former husband did their divorce in Los Angeles before he passed away. She was a Filipina in the Philippines.
Excellent video Paul, very good reporting.❤🎉
It’s no wonder Frank didn’t want any contact with his kids, they sound like awful people.
Sending love and prayers to you Mercy from the UK ❤
Sad how these guys go to the Philippines and get themselves used. All the women in Frank’s life received some type of financial compensation from him. Not sure that love had much to do with any of this.
Agree,who pays 50,000 pesos a month to be with you. Frank and many others.
If Mercy were only concerned about money, she could have just told Frank's children that he had died and then left him there in the hospital without paying the bill. But she didn't do that. Instead she spent most of her savings from the allowance Frank had been giving her paying the 900 thousand peso bill. I've met Mercy, she and my partner have been friends since their school days together. She is every bit the woman of high integrity and character she appears to be in this video.
@@DumagueteCatRubber900,000 don't think so. A friend passed in Manila at the beginning of the year. Cost 150,000 peso.
@danielcully6047 You do realize that everyone's bill isn't the same, right? Different procedures, different medicines, different lengths of stays, etc.
Getting used usually happens to desperate old men
Aside from living will , another moral lesson of the story if you are over 60 years old don’t fall for a 20 year old, it usually don’t end well .
It sounds like Frank made a series of very poor decisions that led to very bad consequences.
your A beautiful lady, you won't be single long!
"Tip your hat to this guy"? NOT! No way Jose. This guy was null of any common sense.
Agreed, complete fool. Wish I could met frank so he could pay my car note, watch my pets and whatever else I needed.
Thanks Paul for making this video and showing to all of us "expats and future expats" what can happen and how to avoid or prepare for the future.
Mercy has a good and a "golden" heart because she cared for Frank and stuck with him to the very end even after he died. God Bless her, because there's not many women like her out there.
Take care Paul and keep up the great work.
RIP frank. You were not a good partner to Mercy
I had a friend in HK who was originally from Trinidad. He was being scammed by a Filipina who claimed her child was his so she demanded cash/support. Man, the kid was whiter than me and I am from the UK.
Albino perhaps?

DNA perhaps...?
recessive gene?
Mercy is very special.❤ Thanks Paul for sharing this video. Hope people learn from this video. God bless Mercy 🙏
Just an FYI on divorce between a Filipina and a U.S. citizen married in the PI. My wife is a Filipina who married a U.S. citizen in 2004 in the Philippines and he brought her and her two young children to the U.S.. He divorced her in 2008 because he wanted her to send her young children back to the PI and she refused. During the years they was married she became a U.S. citizen. After divorce she was penniless and in a strange country (strange because he controlled her every move so she had no friends and didn’t know how to survive) with 2 young kids and somehow managed to scratch and fight and made a life for her and her kids in the U.S..
As you know, Filipinas can be a very very determined woman when it comes to their children and family. From 2008 until I met her in 2019 she somehow managed to put a roof over their heads, send her kids through school and onto college. And, she also managed to support her now 85 year old mother back in the PI and also help support her siblings and even put her siblings kids through university in the PI. All this time she never did anything for herself. Never ventured more than a few miles between her home and work all those years and just worked and worked and worked.
And then we met and over time we decided to marry. But because of her deep roots to Filipino culture, she wouldn’t because she still considered herself married under Philippines law. I told her that it would be ok because she was considered divorced in the U.S. but she still insisted that we couldn’t because of being married in the PI and they don’t have divorce there. So I did some research and found that if a Filipina/Filipino is married to a foreigner in the Philippines and later the foreigner initiates and files for a divorce in the foreigners home country and the divorce is granted, that the Philippines will recognize the divorce and consider the Filipina single again.
There are rules/laws that apply. It is critical that it’s the foreigner who initiates and files for the divorce in his own country and the divorce is granted and recognized in his home country. If it’s the Filipina that files for divorce then it’s not recognized in the PI. Then the Filipina has to get the legal divorce papers apostilled in the country of divorce and bring them to the PI and have them registered there and then the divorce will be recognized in the PI and she can then get married again in the PI. I know this because we did it and got married in Mabalacat, Pampanga in the PI in 2022. We didn’t even need the services of an attorney in the PI to facilitate things. As far as the Philippines is concerned, my wife was widowed at age 23 in 2001 (her Filipino husband was electrocuted when a wire fell to the ground during a storm and he got off his bike to move the wire off the road) and is now married to me. She’s now 47 and still looks like she’s 30 and treats me like her king. Life is good for me at age 67.
99% of our misery in life is entirely self-inflicted
@dan
We are not given a good life or a bad life. We're given a life. It's up to us to make it good or bad.
That’s a very privileged opinion. Most of the world is on the verge of starvation
What a great woman! I am sorry for her loss... This is such a great story of all the good & not-so-good of the PH and really anywhere.. No good deed goes un-punished. I hope Mercy is able to find a new love once she is done mourning.
Sorry to hear this Paul, thank you for sharing this learning experience. Many of thoughts and prayers for Mercy. God’s blessings to you and Mae.
I am so sorry that she had to go through this with his children. How can you treat someone like that is beyond my comprehension. She is a beautiful and kind individual to do what she did for her significant other. Bless her.
Nice and thank you😊
Crazy people checking in
She is avery kind women. Memories reterive through her brain each time remmbered Frank and then tears.
Such a lovely woman...
yeah im sure she is back on the dating site seeking a New Farang
What a good lady Paul ! Good interview and sad story
Listen and learn girls, don’t be involved with a married man unless you have a state of mind that it could come to an abrupt end.
Bro Pina ladys can smell a married man 100 miles away and steer clear or make it pay to play This is a BS story just a Grift
Powers of Attorney are only valid while the person is alive. We went through this with my grandfather. My mother had power of attorney, but it lost all of its power as soon as he died.
@danvain Which is why listening to legal advice on youtube is no substitute for hiring a qualified attorney or elder law firm.
Beautiful lady, Tkx Paul for sharing her story
Congratulations Paul I told you my comment about five videos ago mid-september 100,000 +?? We were subscribers when you had 100 + million years ago!! How's your father??, you have come a long way!! And the wife...

she looks old and worn out
her smile does nothing to help my life why do you care?
Thank You For Your Video Paul , Deepest Condolences And Prayers For Mercy , Wishing Her All The Best So Sorry For Your Loss Mercy ! 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
I totally feel for so sorry for Mercy's loss. I lost my wife of 24 years back in 2017, unfortunately in 2020 I made an impulsive mistake (not in the Philippines should I mention), as you said Paul this isn't an exclusively Philippines phenomenon, but now I have met the love of my life and the lady I hope to get married to one day. There is hope and there's always somebody out there to drag you away from the misery. Such a brave lady to sit there and talk about how the person she obviously loved and who loved her, it brought me to tears.
God bless her. Truly a good woman.
Really enjoy your videos - real life Philippines
Lovely lady. I hope she finds peace.
Sounds like he was having a state of affairs if she was the mistress.
So sorry for Mecy’s loss. Hope she finds a good man who takes care of her.
I will be in her shoes ..
And I live only 15 min from he and his wife ..23 yrs in love ❤️ ❤
So sorry for her loss 😢. Very sweet woman ❤.
Paul, you are a great human being, and I hope to meet you when I visit. I will be in your area.
Thanks Paul for presenting mercy plight she is a beautiful woman hopefully she will meet someone worthy of her love
Yes" Paul please put Mercy back on the channel in the nearby future. May she finds solic and strength in the months to come 🙏 💙
God bless Mercy. A reminder that our actions have consequences to good people.
God bless this lady she has a heart of gold.
Lovely lady, very sad to watch. I really hope she finds her peace soon and can move on with her life. She deserves a decent partner in her life. God bless her.
real good one Paul, really nice lady
Ole Dog Paul, for helping THIS Woman.
Tks. much
Take care Mercy, sorry you have to go through these troubles
Power of attorney dies when the person dies. It is only valid during the persons lifetime. It is used when someone can't make decisions for themselves. The will comes into effect upon death and the power of attorney no longer is valid. Just went through that last year with my wife Weifang. I learned a lot during that time period.
She is a very nice lady.I admire her bless her❤
I feel sad for Mercy's loss, and wish Frank had thought ahead for her, especially when he wasn't in the best of health. Hopefully there will be people like Frank that watch this video, and decide to get their affairs in order. We all like to avoid the thought of demise and push off things like the Will. I'm single, and have beneficiaries on all my accounts and a Transfer on Death Deed for my house, but there are other things I should do as well.
Very near to 100k subscribers Paul
Stay strong Mercy and bless you for your kind heart 🫰🙏🙏
