Lot-Lot, Jed, Jane and Sheila. They are cousins having a good time connecting to each other after being far apart for many years. Jed and Jane being residents of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Lot-lot is residing in Zamboanga City. She came all the way up to Iloilo on a boat together with her sibling PJ and mommy Luz. One important thing of getting together for a while is to know and get closer with each other, although of course, as normal human beings, we also encounter some bumps in each other's beliefs, culture, and behavior. This is where we need to have a very long cable-tow., patience and understanding.
