Meet Simon

A confident young girl with dark skin and long dark hair, wearing a blue sleeveless top and denim shorts, standing with hands on hips surrounded by cartoon virus illustrations.

A polite, friendly, and adventurous boy who is always exploring the colorful streets of the Philippines. Whether he’s climbing coconut trees, discovering dark alleyways, or chatting loudly with grown-ups, there’s nothing that Simon fears—well, except for the dreaded Cucumber.
