Rob Walcher, the husband of actress and beauty queen Patricia Javier, opened up about the journey that led their family to settle down in the Philippines.

In an interview with Korina Sanchez on NET25, the chiropractor recalled the moment he felt a shift in his life and decided it was time for something new.

"I think, me, I do like challenges, I like to take risks," he highlighted.

At the time, he and Patricia were living a stable life in San Diego. But he soon found himself yearning for something more.

"We had a nice life there, I was taking care of people. However, I kind of felt like I could be doing more," he recounted. "So I sold my clinic... Around that same time, somebody bought our house so it was kind of like we were free. We really didn't have any responsibilities."

With no pressing responsibilities tying them down, Rob and Patricia decided to embark on an adventure. "We figured hey let's go to the Philippines and maybe for six months or one year, and just kind of live that adventure for a while. Let the kids experience the Philippines," he said.

"That was kind of the plan and I really just assumed that we'd go back to San Diego and start another clinic. It wasn't really come here to live forever."

But what was meant to be a temporary stay turned into something much more meaningful.

"It started off just doing charity events. We were going around doing chiropractic at gyms and barangays, that was really fun and spreading this chiropractic message," he recounted. "And just that appreciation and the way people felt, that was quite a great feeling again that I experienced."

As word spread, people began seeking them out. "People started coming to our house, and we were renting a condo at that time, wanting more chiropractic. Because once you have a really good chiropractic you kind of want more."

They eventually moved into a townhouse where they set up a makeshift clinic. "Then we move to another town house, that had a little garage and a home office. And I really set up a little shop there. Our garage was full of people."

Rob and Patricia then realized they wanted to stay in the Philippines.

"And so I think from that I really fell in love with the Filipino people. I love that feeling of helping people, that appreciation because I kind of lost that feeling in the US, it was kind of fading a bit. And so I think that's where we started to be like, okay this is pretty awesome, pretty exciting," Rob stated.
