A Note from the Expats Team.
We are very pleased that Village People Philippines have trusted us to share their information on our site

We commend them for this and hope that many others will follow the lead given by this group.

Please note:
The figures I show are a PDF taken from a Pages document I wrote; it is not a
print out from my account program.
My account program which has my main accounts is on my main computer.
The transfer from Pages to PDF to make a video missed off the key and the
first donation dated 12 March 2021 which was from my husband and was broken
down as follows: P2,000.00 less PayPal fees of P103.00 and a P160.00 tax liability.
However the grand total of donations to the channel is correct.
For almost three
years I ran my channel without no Patreon, no memberships, no PayPal, it was
not until March 2021that I put up a PayPal link on the channel.
I had planned to buy equipment to help with my channel, but the camera I
wanted, my husband bought.
I felt uncomfortable using donations for myself or my channel, so I saved
them up. I gave it some thought and decided to use all the donations ever
received to help people.
I was aware of a couple in Bohol who were allegedly helping people, I remember
they attacked a donor while in a restaurant that had donated $1000 dollars
toward an operation for a woman with tuberculosis spondylitis.
They had taken the woman to Cebu for a check-up for an operation
that never happened, I am under the impression the money
raised in the woman’s name was used towards building the wife’s brother’s
house.
One only has to look at the videos to see the trip for the check up was treated
by the couple as a mini vacation, even taking extended family along for the joy
of visiting Cebu.
So when it comes to donations, I decided in complete contrast to use my own
personal money to pay all my own expenses, nothing is taken from donations to
my channel to pay my personal expenses.
I made three trips to Madridejos to organize the boat project, every personal
expense for every trip was paid for from my own personal funds.
That is why you see no expenses in the accounts.
I am operating as a
De Facto corporation and should be De Juis soon.
But all donations sent to my channel currently are considered as personal
taxable income and with-holding tax is applied.
My next two projects will be two Pedicabs I will be giving away. They are
currently under construction. The next two after that will be a sewing machine
and another boat.
I have attached the
PDF documents I included in my video. You can publish them.
Sincerely
VPP
