The former actress-host revealed that she's been in New Zealand for 10 years now. She said that they're really fortunate that New Zealand wasn't greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asia told host Iya Villania and guest co-host LJ Reyes, “Maganda ang buhay sa New Zealand. Hindi namin masyadong na-feel 'yung mga lockdown-lockdown na 'yan.
“Well, everyone gets scared of COVID, but then we look at the news and we go like 'Wow. It's almost like [the] apocalypse. Let's have a steak.' (laughs)
“You know what I mean? It's a little bit weird that we're kind of oblivious [of] it. But, yeah, hang on in there, mate.”
The celebrity mom also said that there are safety protocols implemented, but in general, movement and daily activities are not as limited compared to other countries.
They're even allowed to gather, hold parties, and play rugby.
Asia said, “We're only required to wear a mask in certain areas, especially like public transport, but you know, we're good. Hopefully, pati Pilipinas ganun din.”
During her guest appearance, Asia also gave a quick tour of their neighborhood and gave a glimpse of her life in Auckland, New Zealand.
Asia started off the tour by visiting her favorite food spot, Dumpling Lover.
“Yes, I used to eat a lot of dumplings when I was in high school. 'Yun ang aking lunch. Hanggang ngayon super dumpling lover pa rin ako.”
She also went to The New Zealand Stage & Screen Combat School (NZSSCS) to learn some fight scene techniques.
Asia said, “So, one of the things that you do if you really want to get back into show business is that you have to have a set of skills to show on TV or on screen or even on stage. Kaya naman nandito tayo sa NZSSCS para matutunan ang mga ito.”
Asia learned how to do the "six cuts" with a sword and also tried her hand in archery.

Another Instagram-worthy place that Asia went to is the Cornwall Park, which has well-manicured lawns, greenery, cows, and a breathtaking view of the city.
And for the final part of her virtual tour, Asia went to her favorite beach in Auckland with her husband and son, which also has a view of the Rangitoto Volcano and the nearby Ladies Bay Beach.

“Gabi na. It's about six o'clock in the evening. At kasama ko ang aking asawa at anak. There you go. Nandiyan sila. That's my son. And we decided to spend the evening and have some pizza, just some takeaway pizza. Simple lang ang buhay namin dito.
“Ito 'yung paborito kong beach dito sa Auckland kasi ano lang siya…a few minutes away sa aming bahay at sa main city, kaya napaka-accessible. At kitang-kita n'yo naman ang kagandahan ng place na ito.”
