This was HUGE news at the time, being covered by pretty much every channel and newspaper. My family received just one ILOVEYOU email (to the one email account we had for the entire family that we downloaded to the single computer in the house with dial-up internet) after the news broke, and we were smart enough to delete it without reading. But deep down inside I was kind of proud that the bug made it to the boonies and I was really tempted to open it anyway. I doubt that it would have done anything since we used Juno's software for email and browsing and I don't think it used the Windows Address Book and we didn't have Outlook configured. I also like the aftermath, in which the Philippines caught the guys who wrote the bug and then realized that they hadn't technically committed a crime under Philippine law, so they just let them go. They wrote some cyber-crime laws afterwards, but I imagine Duterte's government wouldn't have let the guys go. Edit: I took a walk down memory lane, and holy crap!
