We are looking in to this and will update the blog when we find out what is going on for sure. The children involved would have been between 11 and 14 years old at the time this occurred. For now we will just share a couple of screenshots below.
According to Ron, an American visitor and her boyfriend invited three girls to the apartment they were renting while in Cebu to visit David Wilkerson and Hope House in 2012. This couple got the girls drunk and had a “threesome” as he called it with at least one of the girls.
If this is true, why has this not been reported before now? Ron and David have shared written testimonies from the victims online and shared their pictures.
Some words below from David Wilkerson:
We have mentioned in this blog that we can not reveal our identity at this time to protect our sources, some of whom are minors.
We know the laws of the Philippines well, and we also know that the libel laws are severe here in the Philippines. This is why we are not afraid to say what we say in this blog. David and Ron have both publicly and privately accused two individuals with rape and sexual assault. They also have shared written testimony from the victims online which if not true could damage the reputation of these young girls. If there was no rape of these children, David and Ron are both guilty of libel. If these sexual assaults actually did take place, they are guilty of not reporting these crimes to the authorities.
David Wilkerson still believes that a lady named Denise Hicks is in some way responsible for this blog despite the fact that we have said that she is not several times here. David recently created a page in an attempt to counter many of our claims here. We will start with the part where he talks about his relationship with Ailene.
First off, no one ever told us that David had sex with Ailene when she was 15 years old, nor have we ever claimed that he has. If Denise Hicks did, we would have no way of knowing this. Apparently she has in the past based on David’s comments above. We have also never threatened David to leave Cebu in 24 hours. We have however suggested that he return to the United States as can be seen below.
David also made an incorrect statement about those who have tried to expose the fraud taking place in his response above. We know of more, but we will use David’s own words to show that there have been more than two as he claimed.
David failed to mention a woman named Julie, and then of course there is us.
Below is our account of David’s relationship with Ailene:
David first came to the Philippines in 2003 and married a Filipina from Manila. He returned to the United States and not long after settling in began abusing her. (There are court records and police reports in the United States to support this) While still married to her, he returned to the Philippines in 2006 and started the process of getting another Filipina to the US under a fiancee visa. This woman went to the US, but returned shortly after. It was during this trip in 2006 that David Wilkerson claims he fell in love with Ailene who was the cousin of the girl he brought to the US on a fiancee visa.
Ailene had just turned 15 years old days earlier when David met her, he was 48 at the time. David claims it was “Love at first sight”. After returning to the United States a romantic online relationship started and David started grooming this young girl by telling her that he loved her and that he would return to the Philippines and marry her. They communicated by phone, messenger, and skype. David also sent her money during that time as well. It was a classic case of grooming.
Grooming
Definition:David divorced his Filipina wife in the US and returned to the Philippines in 2009 to be with his underage girlfriend leaving his two biological children behind. One of whom is disabled. It was at this time when Ailene was just 17 and he 50 that their relationship became physical. Not long after arriving in Cebu David emotionally and physically abused Ailene when she was still a minor. He would call her derogatory names and would often fight with her. He was in violation of Republic acts 7610 and 9262 at the time, but he got away with it since it went unreported.
Grooming – Grooming is the predatory act of maneuvering another individual into a position that makes them more isolated, dependent, likely to trust, and more vulnerable to abusive behavior.
Description:
Grooming is a insidious predatory tactic, utilized by abusers. Grooming is practiced by Narcissists, Antisocial predators, con-artists and sexual aggressors, who target and manipulate vulnerable people for exploitation.
http://outofthefog.website/top-100-trait-blog/2015/11/4/grooming
There are no statutes of limitations on crimes involving abuse against minors in the Philippines and David can still be charged at some point in the future.
What does Ron Husband have to say about this inappropriate relationship?
Comparing Dean Martin’s relationship to David Wilkerson’s romantic relationship with a child? Really? There are no words…..
Apparently Ron does not see a problem with an almost 50 year old man falling in love with a girl who had just turned 15 years old and pursuing a romantic relationship with her.
In further communications Ron explained that Ailene and David loved each other and that there was nothing wrong with their relationship. There is so much wrong with this statement.
David was an adult. Ailene was a child with less than a 6 grade education. She never finished school.
David being almost 50 years old should have never had thoughts of pursuing a relationship with a 15 year old girl to begin with. That is not normal! Even if Ailene gave consent to continue a relationship with him, he was the adult. He alone is responsible for the relationship taking place.
DAVID WILKERSON HAD NO BUSINESS TALKING TO A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL AND PURSUING A RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND WITH HER! PERIOD! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR! IT WAS WRONG!
Ron went on to say that this was in the past and that David and Ailene had confessed their sins to God. When asked about it being against the law, his words were “So what, God forgives them”
So according to Ron, if someone commits a crime, let’s say murder for example, and then confesses their crime to God, that’s all they have to do to get off the hook. Once again, there are no words….
Neither of these men should be allowed to be around children ever! David, while not being convicted at the time, had an inappropriate relationship with a minor, and Ron apparently sees nothing wrong with it and even defends it.
UPDATED MARCH 6, 2018
David has uploaded a series of videos where he is trying to discredit the claims made in this blog. We will be addressing these videos in a separate blog entry at some point in the future. For now however, we will post just a couple of clips from one of those videos to show people just how dishonest David is.
In the clip below David claims that he only chatted online with Ailene 2 or 3 times.
Below is what David was telling people about his communication with Ailene back in 2009 on a couple of online forums.
Notice the sentence underlined in blue. This shows that they were also communicating in late 2006 into 2007. They stopped because David’s fiance Marnie, Ailene’s cousin, made them. After Ailene’s cousin was out of the picture, David started communicating with her once again.
Below are a few of comments David made in 2008 and 2009.
In this next clip we will here how David describes the relationship between himself and Ailene.
In this clip David claimed that he and Ailene didn’t get along, that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, and suggested that they didn’t even like each other. We will now uses David’s own words, not ours, to dispute these claims.
David made the post below on Facebook in January 2016.
Notice in the Facebook post above that David says that he asked his wife AFTER they were married.
David told the same exact story when he made this post below back in 2009 more than a year before he and Ailene were married while she was still a minor.
David is not an honest man and should not be trusted. Period.
Below we will share some posts where David describes Ailene as his girlfriend, fiance, and even wife while she was still a minor.
Below David even calls Ailene his wife before she had even turned 18.
She turned 18 almost six months later.
Notice the title of the thread David is commenting on below. “Four Americans Arrested for Trafficking” David knew he was breaking the law at the time and was relieved when Ailene finally turned 18. As for Ailene’s age, that was never a concern of his either, as his words below make it clear.
In the below post David edited his post after someone told him he could be blacklisted from the Philippines for making such a comment. Apparently he had originally been truthful and put Ailene’s age at 17.
Keep in mind Ailene was still a minor when David suggested he wanted to get her pregnant.
Ask yourself; how would you react if a 50 year old man said he fell in love with your daughter when she had just turned 15 years old, pursued a relationship with her, and said he wanted to marry her and get her pregnant when she was still just 17?
In the above posts and especially the post below it’s obvious why David initially came to Cebu, it was for his underage girlfriend and no other reason. He never mentions helping children or doing God’s work. It was always about Ailene whom he fell in love with when she had just turned 15 years old days earlier. He was “Dreaming of Cebu” man.
Added content March 8, 2018
In an attempt to disprove that he had an inappropriate relationship with Ailene when she was still a minor, David posted the information below on his website.
In that comment dated May 12th 2009 David refers to Ailene as his “girlfriend”. This contradicts what he says in the video he uploaded on March 4, 2018 that we provided a portion of above where he claims Ailene was not his girlfriend. Just more proof David is a liar.
A single post made weeks after he first arrived in Cebu saying that he is not having sex with his girlfriend hardly proves that he didn’t. This comment was made by David 6 months before Ailene would turn 18 years old.
Also, making the comment “my heart breaks for the people of the Philippines” and asking people to pray for the people in the Philippines doesn’t prove anything one way or the other either. That is something just about any westerner visiting the Philippines would say after viewing some of the poverty in this part of the world. Unfortunately David saw the poverty in the Philippines as a way to support himself financially so that he could stay in the country.
Next we will show David’s true intent using his own words.
David actually shared with people on an online forum what his plan was back in December 2009. It wasn’t because he was doing it out of love for the children. For him it was an answer to how he could live in the Philippines at the expense of others.
It’s so obvious to what has and continues to take place here. David is a predator. He exploited Ailene by having a relationship with her since she had just turned 15. Now he is exploiting the poor in Cebu in order to exploit money from kind hearted people around the world to generate income to live in the Philippines. That was always his plan.
Stolen Pictures
As the old saying goes, “If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.”
Below David accuses us of “stalking” one of the Hope House girls and “stealing” her pictures.
Apparently David “forgot” that he once set up fake accounts using this girls name and photos. We pointed these fake accounts out more than a year ago on this site.
As can clearly be seen, we didn’t stalk one of the girls at Hope House and steal photos from her, the pictures came from one of David’s many fake Facebook accounts that he uses to lure new donors to his crowdfunding sites. David has since renamed this profile to “David Wilkerson”.
David is a very deceptive man. No one should believe anything he says.
Free Medical Care
David continues to make the claim that there is no free medical care for those living in poverty in the Philippines. He even gave the testimonies of a dozen people, mostly Americans, to support his false narrative. Below is what he had to say:
David asks if all of these people are lying or if it is just us. We don’t think they are lying, at least we hope they aren’t, we just think they are unaware of the benefits available to the poor in the Philippines.
The best way to find out who is telling the truth is to contact the Department of Social Welfare and Development directly. Ask them about the No Balance Billing Policy, who is covered, and how the Point of Care system works for those who have not already been registered with Philhealth or DSWD. Here is a link to their Facebook page where you can find contact information, or you can just message them through Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/dswdfo7/
From the United States you can also call the Philhealth hotline at 011-63-2-441-7442. They are able to take your calls 24/7 and they will be able to answer any questions you may have about the No Balance Billing Policy (NBB) and who is eligible for benefits.
Meanwhile, David still makes posts on Facebook exploiting the deaths of people, including children, to tug at people’s emotions in hopes that they will have a strong feeling of sympathy and send him money.
“I have let quite a few die here including children” — David M. Wilkerson
Letting impoverished children die in a country that has programs to provide them with free medical care is called negligence. David can not claim that he knew nothing about these programs because we have been mentioning them throughout this blog for a long time. This was a very inappropriate post that David made in so many ways.
David also claimed that the City Hospitalization Assistance and Medicines Program (Champ) had been discontinued and people were going to die.
The CHAMP program was not discontinued as David claimed. The Mayor instead expanded the benefits.
CEBU City offers a free medical aid program through the City Hospitalization Assistance and Medicines Program (Champ) to all resident voters of the city and their dependents.UPDATE MARCH 11, 2018
The program covers laboratory, medicine and hospitalization needs of the Cebu City residents.
Based on Executive Order 2 issued by Mayor Tomas Osmeña, the program was expanded to include, among others, the scheduled delivery of maintenance medicines for hypertension, diabetes and arthritis, among others, prescribed by a government physician for outpatients or by the attending physician for admitted patients.
Champ will also give Philhealth insurance to indigent residents.
In order to avail of the medical and hospital benefit under Champ, the following are required: filled-up application form, voter’s certificate from the Comelec, barangay clearance, medical abstract, hospital bill and/or receipts.
Evaluation will be conducted by the Department of Social Welfare and Services. When deemed to be qualified, one can avail of P25,000 for hospitalization, P5,000 for medicines and P5,000 for laboratory procedures for every year.
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/lifestyle/2017/02/08/del-rosario-medical-assistance-cebu-city-government-522974
We notice that David has responded to the free medical care under the No Balance Billing Policy.
David says we tried to “slide by this one”, but he left out the contact information we gave for the DSWD and Philhealth where people can inquire about the free healthcare for the poor.
We will still stand by our assumption that these people that David is using to support his claim that there is no free healthcare for those living in poverty are just not aware that these programs exist. We doubt any of these people would intentionally mislead people.
There is no reason to call others liars. There is a difference between people like David and Ron who intentionally lie to people and those who do not understand the healthcare system in the Philippines.
Apparently David is not working among the poorest of the Poor in Cebu as he claims.
Those living in poverty whose income does not allow them to be able to afford medical treatment, laboratory tests (Including CAT Scans/MRIs), and medicines receive them at no cost and with no money required up front. There is no money required out of pocket.
They are covered 100% under the No Balance Billing Policy even for catastrophic illnesses such as heart failure and cancer. Things like cataract surgery, maternity care, dialysis and major surgeries are also available at no out of pocket cost to beneficiaries.
If they are not already documented with DSWD or Philhealth at the time they need medical care, they will be still be immediately treated and admitted to the hospital through the Point of Care System.
We live here, we understand the healthcare system, and this is how it works.
If someone is unable to afford Philhealth, the government will cover the cost of their annual Philhealth premium. Filipinos who have no visible means of income, those whose income is insufficient for family subsistence, and all indigents identified by the DSWD under the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction can be covered under this Program.
The indigent community is the largest sector of people covered under Philhealth and their annual premiums are paid in full by the government or by other sponsors.
There are approximately 45 million poor Filipinos receiving one of the benefits that David says doesn’t exist in the Philippines. Most of these people qualify to receive benefits under the No Balance Billing Policy which means they have no out of pocket expenses for medical treatment regardless of the cost involved.
Both of the below statements concerning medical care in the Philippines are false:
There is free healthcare for the poor in the Philippines despite what David and a few others are claiming on his page. It’s impossible for David not to know this after living in the Philippines for almost a decade and him claiming to be working among the poorest of the poor. It’s just not possible.
Once again, we live here and know how the health system in the Philippines works when it comes to serving the poor. We know there is free health care and medical treatment to the poor based on first hand experience and our knowledge of the government programs that are available. The various articles and internet sources we have shared on our blog are just supporting evidence that are used to describe programs and benefits that currently exist in the Philippines. Our claims of free health care being available to the poor in the Philippines is based on facts, not opinion.
Theft
David claims no laws were broken and that the “stick men” were not protected by copyright laws and were fair use, but this is not true. David did commit intellectual theft when he used the logo from School Zone Publishing. When we reported it to them last month, they obviously felt it was a serious matter.
As we pointed out in our previous blog entry, David has since altered the logo. If he thought he wasn’t guilty of breaking the law, why did he change it?
The Non-existent Typhoon
Now we will address the typhoon that wasn’t. In David’s response to our claims, he shared the following information:
Even in his response to our claims David can’t be honest. David claims there were days of heavy rain and flooding as a result of the storm. Once again, we live here and this was not the case at all. We had some cloudy days with off and on light rain, and with the exception of a heavy downpour on the 13th, that was it. Once again we will provide weather records from the Cebu Airport which is less than three nautical miles from David’s house to prove this:
A total of just 2.34 inches of rain fell between February 1st and the 15th, with the most falling in a single day being 1.06 inches. That is no where near enough to cause flooding in Cebu City. There were also no reports of flooding anywhere in Cebu City between the 1st and the 15th. Even without the false claims of a typhoon hitting Cebu and major flooding taking place that showed up on Ron’s Facebook page, David’s claims of heavy rains and flooding are also not true. It didn’t happen.
Now who is it again who twists the truth? According to David it’s the devil…
Now on to the money.
David’s response leaves more questions than it answers. Let’s start with this:
In the numbers above David was able to account for $24,276 in 2017. He then says it does not take into account the groceries that were purchased and given away.
David then quotes what we had previously written in our blog and responds with the statement that 15% of the money goes to his family and mentions medical costs for those he helps with those expenses. (Keep in mind, medical care for those living in Poverty is free in the Philippines)
David went on to say the following:
David makes the claim that we are ignorant of the costs associated with doing what he is doing, but that is far from being true. We live here and we know exactly what it cost to do what he is doing.
So as we mentioned at the beginning of this segment, his responses leave more questions than answers.
First of all, between Godfundme, Givesendgo, and the Facebook crowdfunding sites, David raised over $115,000 in 2017. This does not include money David receives via Paypal, Western Union, and Moneygram, so the total amount raised in 2017 was higher than the figure of $115,000. How much higher, we have no way of knowing.
David made the claim that under 15% of the money raised supports his family, so that figure would be around or less than $17,200.
So between the numbers he provided and the 15% for his family, that comes to a total of $41,476. When we subtract that from $115,000, we are left with $73,524 that is not accounted for.
Our question to supporters was:
“Would you support a charity where more than half the money received can’t be accounted for and the majority of the funds go to supporting the charity’s organizer and his family?”
We still stand by the statement we were making in asking that question. As it stands, more than 56% of the money David Wilkerson and Ron Husband raised in 2017 remains unaccounted for. I doubt anyone believes that all of that money went to groceries to the poor and medical expenses.
Anyone who follows David Wilkerson’s Facebook page can see that he did not spend that much money in 2017. But even if he did, there is still a major problem.
Lets look at how he describes how the money that is raised is used.
When soliciting for funds, David claims that 1/3 goes to food, rice, and clothing, 1/3 goes to school needs, and 1/3 goes to feeding programs. No where does he say that money is used to support him and his family. When he fails to mention that, people reading his Facebook posts and coming across his crowdfunding sites actually believe that all of the money is being used to help the children in Cebu.
This supporter even believes that David lives in the following conditions.
This is simply not true, but this is the impression David gives people on Facebook.
There are a lot of people that believe this way, unfortunately.
David admits now that around 15% of the money raised goes to his family.
Now you might say, well 15% ($17,200) really isn’t that much. Let’s take a look at that figure a little closer.
David claims that he lives among the poor. As we pointed out in our previous blog, the neighborhood David lives in is a typical Filipino neighborhood. It’s not the slums as some visitors have described. Yes, compared to western standards where David lives could very well appear to be a slum, but by Filipino standards, it’s not.
Now let’s look at the income classes in the Philippines based on the latest available data.
So, is David in the middle class?
Based on the data from the NSCB, for a household of three to be considered as part of the middle class, they must meet the following:An annual income of P142K ($2,840) to P594K ($11,880) would put a household into the classification of being middle class depending on its size.
A household income of approximately ₱11,915 to ₱49,526 per month or ₱142,975 to ₱594,317 annually. The bigger your family is, the higher your income should be in order to fit into this classification.
https://www.imoney.ph/articles/middle-class-sector-philippines/
So based on this, even if David spent 10% of the money on his families needs, He would still be considered a high middle class income, or even high income household.
But David once posted his families expenses back in 2016.
This amount David claims above would be closer to 15% of the money raised and would definitely put his household in the high income class category with an annual income of close to P1 million pesos.
Why is this a big deal? It’s because David has to be spending money on something else other than household expenses based on how his family is living despite receiving P1 million a year in income.
David claims that his water bill is $1,350 per year, or $112 per month. That can’t possibly be true. The water bill at my home has been running between P180 ($3.60) and P280 ($5.60) per month lately. I have never had a water bill over P500 ($10)
David claims his electric is P11,250 per month. That too is ridiculous for the house he lives in. If he has an aircon in every room running day and night I could see it, but that’s not the case.
David claims his internet is P2,000 per month. If so, he is paying for one of the premium packages offered by the internet providers.
David claims his rent is P15,629. If that is what he is paying, then he is being ripped off. A person can find a really nice house in a gated subdivision for that amount in Cebu.
David claims he spends P3,000 per year for the barber/salon. A haircut costs just P50 at most barbershops outside the malls. Inside the malls they are around P250 to P300. If David is trying to help the poor, then I doubt he would be paying the mall prices. I know Ailene also gets her hair done at the salons, but P3,000 per year is a bit too much for their family to be spending on their hair in the Philippines.
David claims he spends P25,000 in groceries each month. That is just not possible for a family of four. At the most it should be around P10,000, and that is really pushing it. I doubt anyone in their neighborhood is spending anywhere close to P10,000 a month for groceries.
David says his family spends P60,000 a year on clothing. That too is outrageous. David even said on his new website that he buys clothes on sale.
With a budget of P60,000 a year for clothes, David could buy 240 of those black dresses every year.
David has a category of “other” which comes to P100,000 per year. That’s more than many low income families earn in a year, yet David has this much extra each year for miscellaneous purchases and expenses.
The average annual income of Filipino families was approximately 267 thousand pesos according to the latest statistics available. That’s just $5,340! David claims he is spending almost four times that much for his household expenses each year.
https://www.psa.gov.ph/content/average-family-income-2015-estimated-22-thousand-pesos-monthly-results-2015-family-income
This means that David’s family is either living far above the standards of the average Filipino family, or the money coming in each month is going somewhere else.
The point we are trying to make here is that David is not being honest about how he is spending money. Even the personal budget he shared is unrealistic. We would hate to be the accountant he has hired because it’s going to take some really fuzzy math to account for where $115,000 a year is going.
David denies his abusive nature:
David did seek psychological counseling and had to attend parent management classes as a result. While he didn’t mention the psychiatric counseling, David mentioned this case and the parenting classes on a forum called Visa Journey. He was probably too embarrassed to mention he also was getting counseling for psychological problems at the time.
David admitted that he took a Deferred Prosecution for domestic violence.
Below is how David’s ex-wife described this “spanking” incident:
Keep in mind that one of David’s children is disabled, and he left them in the United States so he could have a relationship with his underage girlfriend in the Philippines.
Let’s continue:
In this entry, David claims there was “zero physical contact” and that if he had, there would have been a courted ordered program or Jail. We have a copy of the court records from the Bothel Municipal Court concerning case number 13266, and he did indeed have to follow court ordered conditions to avoid going to jail. He also had physical contact with his children which he also denied. These records can be obtained by written request from the Bothel Municipal Court and the contact is provided in David’s response above.
Updated content March 8th, 2018
David has since changed the wording of the above statement. He went from saying there was “zero physical contact” to “if there had been anything of any importance”. David can’t seem to keep his stories straight.Since David gave his side of the story, we will now share a little more of his ex-wife’s testimony from a report she filled in 2007.
A few things to take away from this testimony.
In the first sentence, David’s ex-wife says that he slandered her on the internet and that the accusations were sexual in nature. This one sentence gives a lot of credit to the rest of her testimony. Why? Because David continues to do this to everyone who testifies against him even up until today.
David claims that the mother of his two sons left him because she was a lesbian and pursued a relationship with a woman. In his book he claimed that Ailene’s cousin, whom he planned to marry and brought to the United States on a fiance visa, decided she was a lesbian and returned to the Philippines. David also continues to slander Denise Hicks calling her a lesbian and saying that she is a pervert. Ron Husband did the same with Jessa Luchavez, calling her a lesbian and a pervert, and is doing the same now with Denise Hicks. David and Ron have both given out personal information, email addresses, and phone numbers of those who have tried to expose their fraud. This is the same tactic David used against his ex-wife all the way back in 2006 and as evidence by his behavior today, nothing has changed.
Slandering the victim is a common tactic used by abusers.
David once again suggests in this below comment that he has no past history of domestic violence.
David by his own admission took a Deferred Prosecution for domestic violence where he had to admit guilt and agree to the following.
In
essence, despite David’s downplaying of the charge of domestic violence
against his own children, he was guilty by his own admission.There is no doubt that David Wilkerson is an abuser.
David tells people to go to his book to get the rest of the story, but as we have already pointed out, David’s book is nothing but a book of lies with much of its content plagiarized.
David also claimed that he gave his life to God in 2008 and this abuse case was two years prior to this. That still doesn’t take away the fact that David had an inappropriate relationship with a minor from 2006-2009, abused Ailene when she was a minor in 2009, abused Ailene since then, committed wire fraud from the inception of his so called “Hope House” until today, committed plagiarism when he wrote his book in 2016, committed intellectual theft in 2016 and 2017, and has most recently slandered the names of several “Hope House” girls and Denise Hicks.
Now let’s take a closer look at David’s abusive relationship with Ailene.
I think everyone would agree that a 48-50 year old man having a romantic relationship with a 15-17 year old girl with a less than grade 6 education is abuse in its self. In fact, it is against the law here in the Philippines for a 50 year old man to have such a relationship with anyone under the age of 18 and it is defined as “Child Abuse”.
Here is a portion of what David shared on his new website.
David claims that this is the first time he had seen the above document. It has been on our page since March of last year, so we find that difficult to believe.
David then claims that his ex-wife committed visa fraud. If this were true, why was she not afraid to go to the police and file a restraining order? To show up for court? To continue living in the US? If she was guilty of visa fraud, wouldn’t she be afraid to bring attention to herself?
It was David who went to the Philippines in 2006 while still married to this woman to petition Aliene’s cousin for a fiance visa. How can you have a fiance and be married to another woman at the same time?
David was in Cebu in 2006, but his divorce from his first Filipina wife wasn’t until 2007.
While in the Philippines he fell in love with Ailene and started a long distance relationship with her while going through the legal process of bringing her cousin to the US on a fiance visa. Why would David be bringing Ailene’s cousin to the US on a fiance visa if he was in love with Ailene as he claims?
It sounds more like David was the one committing fraud.
Aside from David breaking the law for pursuing a relationship with an underage girl, he started abusing her just weeks after he arrived in Cebu. We will once again use David’s own words to show this.
Keep in mind we are talking about a 50 year old man treating a 17 year old girl this way. This would be unacceptable regardless of the woman’s age, but the fact that Ailene was just 17 at the time shows David’s true abusive behavior.
Ron Husband in a private conversation in 2016 acknowledged David’s inappropriate and abusive relationship with Ailene.
We also have the stabbing incident in November 2016. Below is where David Pearson mentioned this:
A woman who is not being abused usually doesn’t resort to stabbing their husband.
David continues to lie, steal, deceive, and hurt people, he is the same man he has always been and nothing has changed.
David’s Photos
We will stand by our claim that David’s pictures he shares on Facebook and other online platforms are theft images. He claims to have consent of everyone who appears in his pictures and videos, but commonsense tells us that if someone has 30,000 pictures, it’s hard to imagine getting written consent for all those who are subjects of the photos.
David says, “that’s why we are raising money, so that we can start real programs to help them.”
What does David have to show after almost 8 years and raising almost a half a million dollars?
This is a result of poor money management and just goes to show that David Wilkerson is not competent to run a program designed to help children. I know of no organization that would allow children to enter, much less sleep in a building like the one seen in the pictures above. This is totally unacceptable.
There are several organizations helping the children in Cebu that can be found at this link https://hopehousecebutruth.wordpress.com/contact/ Notice the facilities and the types of pictures they share. Some of these organizations work on much smaller budgets that David Wilkerson.
David says, “We take photos to show the problem, We help to the extent that we are able to do so. If we had not done it, nobody would have gotten ANY help”
David’s attitude towards the poor in his community is wrong. These organizations below that are located in Cebu didn’t have to sacrifice the dignity of the people to get them help.

“Poverty pimp” is a pejorative label used to convey that an individual or group is benefiting unduly by acting as an intermediary on behalf of the poor, the disadvantaged, or other “victimized” groups.David Wilkerson is a poverty pimp.
Those who use this appellation suggest that those so labeled profit unduly from the misfortune of others, and therefore do not really wish the societal problems that they appear to work on to be eliminated permanently, as it is not in their own interest for this to happen. It could be applied to someone who sees poverty as a career, and as such alleviation of poverty-related issues would be a threat to their livelihood.
David admits posting on Ailene’s Facebook account.
When asked where this was by someone making a comment on this video, David clearly answered with “Cebu City, Philippines”.
His response page actually confirms just about every claim we have made in this blog since we started it. As can be seen, he even admitted to making posts on Ailene’s Facebook account which most people probably didn’t know.
Claims of harassment
David has made the claim that his “attackers” are harassing other people. We have never harassed anyone and have even been polite in our communications with David and Ron. We have also never made any threats or claimed that David has sex with Ailene when she was 15 years old. David confirms that the threat that he leave Cebu did not come from us.
We are the other party.
Once again, we have not claimed that David had sex with Ailene when she was 15, nor have we changed the age at anytime on this blog.
David also made this claim:
Surely David has evidence of this harassment taking place if he is going to make such a claim. Hopefully Tom, Rodger, Cheryl, Glen, and the others can send David screenshots of what took place so he can share them with us. As mentioned, we are always polite in our communications with people.
I noticed David put Ron’s name on that list, so lets take a look at that.
All of those emails came to us from Ron within a 48 hour period. Ron was also nice enough to sign us up for a few online dating sites.
Sometimes we get ganged up on by Ron, David, and others who support David.
The truth is that anyone who opposes David or tries to expose his fraudulent activities will be harassed.
David has been taking only bits and pieces from this blog and making us sound as if we are evil. Below is an example of this.
Here is another entry from our blog that he did not share on his page from October 18, 2017.
This one from October 12, 2018.
Here is another entry from March 21, 2017.
And this one from the page telling why we started this blog.
We have always been upfront with our motives and we will continue to pray for David in hopes that he will do the right thing.
There is no doubt based on what we have been publishing that David Wilkerson and Ron Husband are not honest men. If you know someone who is supporting this fraudulent ministry, please share this blog with them as it is hard to deny the evidence presented here.
Some of the things David can not deny:
- David initially came to the Philippines to be with his underage girlfriend. NOT to help the children as he conveniently tells people today.
- David lied in his recent video when he said he and Ailene did not have a romantic relationship when he first came to Cebu.
- David lied in his recent video when he said he only chatted with Ailene two or three times “briefly” before he came to Cebu.
- David by his own admission claims he fell in love with Ailene when she had just turned 15 years old and he was 48.
- David was married to a Filipina at the time he was in Cebu to meet Ailene’s cousin who he later brought to the US on a fiance visa. It was also at this time that David claims he fell in love with Ailene.
- David had an inappropriate and illegal relationship with Ailene when she was a minor.
- David has abused Ailene.
- David broke the law when he plagiarized other authors when he wrote his book.
- David broke the law twice when he used the logos of other entities in the United States.
- David lies on his fundraising sites when he tells people that 100% of the money raised goes to the children, school, and food.
- Hope House Cebu is not registered with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as required by law.
- David claims there is no free medical care and medicines for the poor in Cebu when there is. (This is easily verifiable by contacting the Cebu City Hall or DSWD)
- David was not stabbed by a stranger in November 2016 as he claimed on Facebook when seeking donations to cover his medical expenses. He knows who stabbed him.
David is trying to convince people that this blog is filled with lies, yet he doesn’t share any links to it on his page. People have even asked him for the link and he has refused to give it to them. If he were so confident, why doesn’t he allow people the opportunity to read what we have to say in its full context? We have included the link to his page in almost every screenshot we have shared from there. Yet he is afraid to do the same.
If you have recently donated to this fraudulent ministry through any of their crowdfunding sites, they will give a refund if it has been within the past 30 days.
We will address some of the trivial things David has been posting lately below.
We have never made this claim. If David has evidence of this, where is it?
We have never called anyone stupid. Where is David’s evidence of this?
This is not true. We have never contacted any one at the barangay level about David and his illegal activities. If David saw a message from us to the barangay captain as he claims, then he should be able to produce a copy and post it publicly.
UPDATE March 9, 2018
As seen below, David has since removed the claim that the barangay captain received a message from us.
This is because they are unaware of what is going on. But that may change soon since David want to make up stories about us.
We don’t think they are stupid and we have never called anyone stupid for standing with David. Those who are standing with David have been deceived.
We have never accused Ron of being a pedophile.
We have not harassed anyone and we would love to see some supporting evidence of all the claims above.
David has had almost a decade to prepare someone to fill his shoes if something were to happen to him. It is very irresponsible for him not to have done this before now. I know of no other organization that doesn’t have a contingency plan in case the leader is unable to perform his or her duties. It’s hard to believe that David would even make a statement like this.
If David was operating a church, that would be fine, but David claims he is fighting sex trafficking and housing unrelated minors on property he either leases or owns. In the Philippines he is required by law to be registered with, and be under the supervision of, the DSWD before he can operate such a facility.
Below is a portion of a news article that makes this clear.
CEBU, Philippines – In compliance with Administrative Order No. 17 series of 2008, non-government offices operating on social welfare and development will now be paying for registration, licensing or accreditation to the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
The registration fee for auxiliary agencies is P1,000, registration and licensure fee for social welfare agencies is P2,500 while the accreditation fee for social welfare and development programs and services is P2,000.
Charito Esteban of the Standards Bureau of DSWD said that the increase is necessary to regulate and enforce social welfare and development standards to both public and private organizations engaged in social welfare and development activities through registration, licensing and accreditation.
“The Administrative Order was issued because there is a need to protect the beneficiaries against malpractice, abuse, and exploitation by social welfare and development agencies (SWDAs) and to maintain a comprehensive set of guidelines to serve as reference in their registration, licensing and accreditation application with DSWD,” Esteban said.

Those who have been following this blog know that we have not changed any of its content from the past. The only thing we do is add updates, but never change or delete previously posted material.
David also claims that he has an email from s.blackstone@yahoo.com that said he had sex with Ailene when she was 15 years old. If David had such an email, for sure he would have shared it on his page. He is a liar.
We have sent only four emails to David from that address. We challenge him to share those emails on his page. He will not do it, because it will destroy the negative impression he is trying to make of us. We have always been polite and compassionate in our communications with him.
David and apparently others say that we have said that David lives a luxurious lifestyle.
We have never said that David lives in luxury or lives a lavish lifestyle. Below is how we described the way David lives back in March of last year.
