Then I added 'I'm from the Philippines so I'm not really from around here so I had to double check. I'm Iza.' Then we shook hands. He told me he was in the PH 9 months ago and I asked if it was for a football thing and he said Unicef sent him there. So I said 'oh for Haiyan.. Thank you for doing that.' Then I was called up to the cashier and he said 'It was lovely to meet you.' He was the nicest and even said bye to me as I was leaving and said 'It was very nice to meet you.' OMG I'm dying!!!!!” she added.</p><p> Iza then thanked David for being pleasant and also explained why she didn’t ask for a ‘selfie’ with the star athlete. </p><p>“Thank you, David Beckham, for being a lovely human being! I know your are know for your good looks and football skill but for me, your greatest strength is your kindness. I am now a FAN!!!! ?????? P.S. To those asking about taking a selfie.. No, I didn't ask for a photo. I would rather he remember our conversation and that I made him feel more like a human being rather than a piece of public property.
