Hi all, my name is Catherine. intended to stay in the background and hired Donna & Richard to showcase my house which is known as the Phoenix Build. This project is in collaboration with Richard and Kanopinay Construction which is owned by Donna. In all legal documents, this house was under contract with Donna. Richard is Donna's employee; nothing in the legal documents for this project includes any mention of Richard's name. However, I am also aware that the construction equipment and manpower were under both their names. When we started, the goal was to collaborate with Richard to introduce Western techniques in the Philippines and to transfer knowledge to the local workers. Sad to say the partnership must end and we must pick up the pieces where he left off. The workers are now under our management. This project is 100% financed by me. We are grateful for the skills that Richard has contributed to building this house. The workers have learned a lot from him. All the workers had extensive experience beforehand, but it was enhanced by him introducing new techniques Arehitect Eng. Joselito Arehitect Eng. Joselito Gonzaga Constltant-engineer for-poel Eng.

Just remember you are a beautiful person don't let anyone bring you down, they are the jealous ones. Love from ron in Australia ❤

Donna you have so much support and alot of the viewers are finding and subbing to your channel like I said they eventually would, just keep it up, even your vlogs are very fun for us to watch, youtube is your calling.

donna you did a great job just keep pressing on and looking great as well-loved seeing you back

Thank you for letting Donna be a part of the completion madam Catherine

I support you and I'm on your team and with that being said we should be respectful to this situation because background negativity is not helpful to anyone.

This video came as a total surprise/shock, I didn't expect a construction/design video, I assumed it would be a video of you and Ella in your apartment or out and about with friends etc. It was great by the way so well done you, you looked terrific, you were funny, but then you were the design side of the building homes and you were the vlogger right from the beggining so why wouldn't you have done this so brilliantly! The buyer of this property asked you to choose and design Bali style furnishings and accessories for them didn't they? (my memory tells me that). So I take it this is why you are at the property and doing this one alone (well not quite but without you know who) because they need updates and so do we. You are good at all you do Donna, and I am glad you're believing in yourself and proving to all that DONNA IS BACK! Take care as always. looking forward to your next vlog. From the UK. x

Happy you and Richard continue to work as a team to complete this project and do what's best for Ella

Be strong in times of separation! You will make it through life, because you are smart and very able to adapt to changes!

You really are very fun to watch donna😊🤸 no dull moment. Keep up the good work. ♥️

It's good to see the business is still moving forward. Hopefully you both remain cordial so that the business continues to grow and be a benefit for BOTH of you financially as business partners. Physical relationships fail, but when a business is involved, never let personal feelings destroy something good. Blessings to both of yall as you go on your separate personal lives...

Nice ikaw na ngayon ang bagong contractor ng bahay keep up mommy dons 🫶❤️

I really like the Phoenix house and the two story home you guys were building. I would love to get the floor plans for both designs if possible. My wife and I are fixing to buy land around her parents area and slowly building our dream home. Thank you so much for posting this video. I would love to see finished two story home if possible. Best wishes

Go lng sis, hiwalay na din kami ng asawa ko na american, babaero din haha di din nagsusuporta sa anak namin. Ako ang ngfile ng annulment para lng mkawala nako sa hayop na yun. Puro stress binigay at sakit sa puso.

I just missed seeing cute Ella . More blessing your ways ate Donna ❤

Almost 17k subscribers you are on your way to success Donna so happy for you and Ella 🎉

Para po sa inyoo… guys no skipping ads lang para maka tulong po tayo sa simpleng paraan.

May God continue to bless her.. Not all things are meant to be shared. Respect her personal life...

Aw so hindi pala natapos ng March 17 na turnover. I hope tinapos na lang ang mga projects deadline despite the issues para cohesive p rin all throughout yung buong construction. Praying for you Mommy Mhay and tatay Richard.

Binge watching your new channel to help. I recently found out about your status, used to subscribe and watch your old channel, but I noticed a change and stopped watching last December. I got curious and tried to search you again and found bad news. Please be strong. Maybe its a blessing. Please focus on yourself and your children and family that really love you. I subscribe to your new channel. Please surround yourself with God loving people. Respect goes both ways. Do not let him disrespect you. You have a lot of supporters. You are still young and beautiful and you have your children ❤

Can you please update the outside of your sold home. Richard said from his previous vlog that he was going to show the finished product of the outside in 2 weeks but he didn’t pull through. I know it’s sold but can u ask the new owners if you could show your audience the completed work. It would be nice to see since I watched your vlogs when u started building your 2 Storey home. Thanks

I hope you have a good architect/engineer na hindi ka lulukohin. Be wise so they won’t take advantage of you.

Here is the part of the story about Love between a filipina and a Foreigner that most don't understand. A foreigner doesn't have to have money but it's important to know his background and work History...here is the RED FLAG...Richard has a bad work history and was living with his ex-wife at the time he met Donna. He was working a job that paid for his Hotel stay but he was HOMELESS....BIG RED FLAG...and He married Donna online...BIG RED FLAG...here is the issue that people don't see ..there are some men who marry a filipina because they burn their bridges in the US..They can't find anyone else who will believe their LIES...it has nothing to do with a filipina being a better Wife .. it's a matter of convenience...there is a difference between a man saying " I want to marry a filipina" and a man saying " a filipina can deal with my BS " ..A LOSER can Hide in the Philippines because no one knows about his past..but a CON ARTIST can never Stop being a CON ARTIST no matter what Country he is in

Madam, lookimg forward to more updates on this house, especially how much inabot po yung ganitong quality ng materials and build 😊 Thank you, more ppwer!

Do what is best for you and Ella and time to keep moving on and be stronger for your daughter and to look after your self/wishing you and Ella the happeist life.God bless.

Yes, you can do it, keep up the good works to be better today than yesterday - move forward !

Hi Donna...Not sure if you remember showing us a few lots there last May. That neighborhood is going up fast!

I am so sad to hear the news that you and Richard are divorced that breaks my heart. I loved watching you guys. I will be following you on your new venture. I would like to follow Richard. Also, if I knew what his channel was, I’m praying and asking God that the two of you will get back together again.

This will be another beautiful house. I love it. I love that Donna is back on this videos. We love you.people dont need to mention other people. Even is in another language i can read ❤😂love it.keep blogs Donna ❤❤hi from new york

Kunting worked load at re-flenish Pray for Engineer and team it's not easy to work a big project.God Blessed.

yes po ms. donna ipadeport mo siya hindi nya deserve stay sa pinas, katulad ng ginawa ni pokwang sa afam nya, para magkaroon kn ng peace of mind kapag wala na siya sa pinas, just a piece of advice, god bless ms. donna❤

Good for you Mama Donna. God will help you because you were honest and have integrity. Praying for you and your success and everything you do. 🙏🏼❤

Stay strong and believe in yourself, you will make it like the phoenix!

So many bitter comments here. There's always two sides of a story. What happened to their marriage is only between her and her ex.

You're doing great Donna!!! You're fun and happy to watch! More blessings to you and Ella! xx

Can you please show us the final build for this project?

If logistics where given in the very beginning of the split. There would not have been so much drama. Maybe the drama pushed Richard to do the right thing. Maybe it helped Donna get a lawyer and know her rights. But now I see the house. Think- crap. I sent money and it looks like Donna will be just fine

You doing fab job Donna well done keep it up sweetheart

Sino napunta Dito pagkatapos mapanood sa tulfo.😅

Ingat ka palagi Donna together with your daughter. God bless you always

I wonder if Richard is in Philippines there is so many sides to this story Donna. Side Richard side and truth wjat rver that may be Donna i wish you well as well as your husband

Hi Donna, i watched your sentiments video, i admired you to be a strong n intelligent person, just go on wd your life n take care of Ella. actually i watched your construction video n admired your house projects kc magaling din c Richards, i watched your first video while youre still in an apartment, anyway, Good luck to your new journey in life as a single parent. God bless❤

If it’s Bali style,import all the wood in the house from Bali. All pieces should be made in the same style. Beds, Desks, Doors, Trim, Window Frames, Tables, Cabinet, etc My buddy did it here in Pulu Amsic Subdivision.

I am hapy for you Donna. Hope you will get what you deserve. Hope your channel will gdin more views.🎉🎉🎉

Ms Donna, you can do this! I can see your potential in this kind of stuff! Sana makapag aral ka to take a professional knowledge like an architect! 💪💃

Here you are 🎉 So so good to see you ❤️

Looking good. You have the talent for this. Hope you can take the exam equivalency ng elementary and High school. Dito sa US, and tawag doon ay GED and the HiSET. I'm sure meron din sa Pinas. Pag nai pasa mo, pwede kang magtake ng architect courses kahit online. Meron din certification siguro para mas mabilis. However, as long as you know how to properly manage people and the work and have real architect/engineer to inspect at may foreman na marunong mag basa ng blueprint, that's what you need. Mas maigi rin kung alam mo mismo and magbasa ng blueprint to make sure na alam mo ang mga size requirements at tama ang mabili. Goodluck and I wish you well.

Let’s rally together for this single mom,kapwa natin Pilipino tulungan natin. Keep moving on Donna.

Donna, when it comes to this business side of your life I think it's just wise to keep things private . don't let this play out online and agree to say that things are going to be split 50/50 and leave it at that. I think we all understand during a separation things are going to be divided according to the law of the Philippines so there is no need to go into much detail

You look beautiful Donna keep up the good work. your so funny you make us laugh 😅 God bless you and your daughter more vlogs.

Hi sis, in the beginning you are already doing a good job specially yung pagbebenta ng lupa. You can continue that in partnership dun sa tutmutulong din sa inyo noon. Continue to help those Filipino-Americans who wanted to buy and rise their houses there. Nakapag-umpisa ka na diyan and keep doing that. Your ex definitely will leave that place and actually, he is free to leave Philippines.

Beautiful house and beautiful mommy mhY! ❤

I support you Donna, watching your Ads,you can build up your own simple house.

hello Donna, great to see you again my friend.. I am sorry to hear about your separation from Richard.. I hope life is treating you well.. Ella is growing up very fast. God bless your beautiful family!!!

Mas bet ko ganitong content building a house before & after. Lagi kasi ako nanonood ng HGTV channel mas maganda may sariling atin din. But of course I know its very expensive nga. Keep it up for your new channel.

so so proud of you Don..😍👏

Its a contemporary bungalow house. There's nothing "Bali" look sa design. Nice design though. Goodluck po

Thanks for the update on the house. Its going to be beautiful.

Hi Donna I hope and pray all is good with you it looks like Richard has taken down the Armstrong family KZfaq is Richard in Philippines or heading back to usa

Donna is beautiful,why did Richard let her get away,must’ve been really serious for them to part ways 😔

We still support u donna,, sorry for what happened 😢 for ur past relationship, isa ako sa mga follower niyo sa Armstrong family ,, pakatatag ka po kasama sibbb ella,, sending u hugs

Wow… very nice, excited to see the finish touch.❤❤❤👌

I am so proud of you on how strong you became to overcome your personal issues you experience. I am glad to see your back on your feet on showing building ideas. Do you plan to show some new ideas in building with SRC Panels which is shown already in you tube but I would like to see how your building and using the product.

Salamat nahanap din kita miss donna. Na miss ko na pati si bulilit! Ok lang yan. Maaayos lang lahat. Naisip ko lang dati pag nanonood ako, parang may peke ako nararamdaman. Tama pala ako

Bakit po wala na un chanel ni richard mam un the armstrong

Goodluck in your channel Donna. Sana gawa ka ng daily vlog 😊

Mataas Ang kitchen cabinets. Dapat 15 inch from below the countertop.

Great update video. Thank you!

Ang Gagaling Pala ng Pinoy na house builder.

Posting anymore ?? Assume ya all settle. Have pesos

Madam, ilamg sqm po yung Phoenix build (living area sqm, at saka and yung whole house and lot sqm po) 😊 Edit: Nasa description po pala, oks na po :)

ang galing mo mag host about new home construction, dapat additional content mo eto ask mo other construction na e feature mo mga under construction buildings until finish

Mam Donna alam natin ang nangyari kay Pokwang at sa ex niya, baka pede mo rin ma consider filing for deportation yung ex mo. May record pala yung Richard na yun.

Just saying. Should have used the marble onyx of Romblon for all the countertop surfaces.

Anyone wanna make a wager that this house will still not be complete by the end of this year?

Sad😢 but be strong always don im always watching you since day 1 in your vedio im just sad of what happend but its ok thats life... Gud luck.. stay safe w/ your cute ella❤️

very nice and beautiful, congrats lucky Catherine.

I can’t wait to build a pool in the Philippines, estimate cost please?

May I ask what the diminsions of the house? Do you have a sketch plan you can show?

Great to see Donna na ganito na ulit. Napansin ko kasi dun sa bandang huli nun lumang channel parang napapabayaan na nya sarili nya, wala nanag ayos ayos like nun una. Always love yourself first!

Hangs ako sa iyo Donna kaya mo Yan you’re a strong woman. Noon napapa nood ko ang vlog mo ang ganda ganda mo. Nang maging kayo na ng x mo na pabayaan mo ang self mo, sorry to say nag mukha kang ewan. Ngayun natutuwa ako at unti unti kanang bumabalik sa dati maganda. Good luck sa bagong buhay nyo ni Ella. ❤️👍👌

I love your house design sis. I’m imagining the final design. I can’t wait. God bless you.

Pag plastic hindi basta basta nabubulok…at sana hindi madulas pag inapakan.
