VISITING MANILA, PHILIPPINES ON 2 TO 7 FEBRUARY 2020 SEEMS LIKE A ONCE UPON A TIME LONG LONG AGO YET IT WAS ONLY OVER 2 MONTHS AGO! HOW TIME HAS FLOWN AND EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED! WHEN PRINCESS DATO SRI DR BECKY LEOGARDO, HER MAIDS MARISSA AND LUTCHIE ABELLA AND MYSELF ARRIVED IN MANILA, WE WERE GREETED WITH THE SAD NEWS 1 FILIPINO HAD JUST DIED FROM WUHAN VIRUS AND ITS OFFICIAL NAME COROVID-19 HAD NOT EVEN BEEN NAMED! NO ONE IN MALAYSIA HAD DIED AND THE NEWS OF ONE DEATH IN PHILIPPINES WAS QUITE SHOCKING. BUT NOW WE EXPECTED DOZENS O DIE IN MALAYSIA AND PHILIPPINES DAILY! OH WELL, HERE'S A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE AND WE HOPE THE GOOD OLD DAYS WILL RETURN AGAIN...
