About Me

My name is Brian Gorrell, and I’m a 38-year-old HIV+ man, who for a year lived in the Philippines. Life changed dramatically after giving up everything I had worked hard for in Australia, for my new future with a new relationship in the Philippines. I gave my life savings to my ex for our two businesses and within six months lost every penny to my scheming morally bankrupt ex boyfriend, Delfin DJ Montano. The entire business was a scam, leaving me penniless and terrified for my health and future well-being. My life changed forever, and he fled the Philippines and currently lives in San Francisco. My mother encouraged me to fight for my future, dignity and the justice I craved, in order to move on with my life. This blog is my own form of justice for DJ Montano and the many other Filipinos who have to answer for their behaviour in the Philippines. Activism comes in many varied forms. And this blog happens to be mine.
