Rowell brought home six Africans to his hometown in the Philippines. They include five children and their mother. He shared the unfortunate truth that she only survived by twelve out of seventeen children.
During the talk, Karen asked Rowell whether his wife was scared of him bringing home six strangers. The vlogger answered no even though her wife hadn’t met them personally.
In fact, she only saw them in the vlogs and welcomed them with open arms.
Moreover, the Pinoy in Equatorial Guinea told Karen Davila’s YouTube vlog that their culture usually lets women marry later in life. This ensures that they’re sure about their husband. He also mentioned that education is not a priority in the country.
Because of his successful vlogging career, Rowell told Karen Davila that he has retired as an OFW. Furthermore, his private resort is under construction. In addition to being available for rentals, subscribers, including his adoptive family, can meet him.

On Karen Davila’s show, the family says they’re thankful to Rowell for bringing them to the Philippines. They say they could prioritize their studies and find better-paying jobs here than in their home country.
Rowell also built a home for the adoptive family. Here, the mother resides with all her five children. With regard to their schooling, the former OFW sent the five Africans to a private school. He said there was an initial adjustment, with the school bringing in fluent Spanish speakers to communicate with them.
However, after spending time in the Philippines for a while, they can now understand Tagalog and English and speak Tagalog lightly.
When asked to share the story of the kids’ lives in Equatorial Guinea, Rowell tells Karen Davila, “Grabe. Nung time na pumunta ako sa kanila doon na talaga nag start ang eagerness ko na tumulong.
Nilagay ako ni Lord sa isang bansa na hindi ko alam. Ito para sa’yo, and that time nakita ko talaga nakita ko ‘yung means ko (sa) pagtulong. Napakahirap.”
