“This is my favorite fruit ever, mangoes!” she said.

“Philippine mangoes are the best. You all know that,” she added.

She also gave focus on the "glorious plate" of chocolates and sweets, as well a the thoughtful bouquet of flowers the hotel left in her room.

“I love you, Philippines," she said as she ended her quick virtual tour.
