Haven’t seen you in a long time, how are things in the Phillipines? You all still there? I know we have allies there.

I am ok, thanks. We grow rice, and for a month couldn't ship it to Manila but things are improving. And I am on social security, which helps the family.

The Philippine economy is being destroyed by the virus...but the anger against China led to Subic being reopened (old US Navy base). Not a lot of virus here, but people are dying of other diseases because they can't afford medicine or because they avoid going to the hospital.
