Then, the lockdown happened and I felt that this was the time that it had to be done. Texted Jem Florendo and asked him to arrange it for me. I then messaged Moira as she was touring the US at the time and asked her if she could do her vocals and video shoot from where she was at the time. Jonathan Manalo joined the team and weaved his magic with the mix in the studio.  I hope and pray that people will be blessed with what we have produced. This is for you dear Jesus because everything you\u2019ve done for us is simply Beautiful. Praise you Jesus.
