Actress Mylene Dizon ranted on her Twitter account about Senator Koko Pimentel’s act of selfishness by accompanying his wife to Makati Medical Center despite being tested positive for COVID-19.
For the actress, Pimentel’s action can’t just be described as ‘stupidity’ but one out of pure selfishness.
“Wala. What you did was not stupidity. It was pure selfishness. You, sir, sitting on your senatorial seat, should be shamed.”
Dizon refused to accept the Senator’s apology on behalf of the frontliners who will be at risk because of his selfishness.
“No, I will not accept your apology. Don’t even try. Kinamumuhian kita.”
Wala. What you did was not stupidity. It was pure selfishness. You, sir, sitting on your senatorial seat, should be shamed.
No, I will not accept your apology. Don't even try.
Kinamumuhian kita.

In another tweet, the Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit star said apologizing to the health workers won’t be enough,
“That’s not enough. Maybe if he donated all his wealth, lahat ha, toward this fight vs covid, baka yun pwede na.”

I beg you, if you're going to make memes about this pathetic excuse for a I-don't-even-know-what, don't reduce his offense to stupidity. Hindi yan katangahan, kagaguhan ang ginawa niya.

Senator Koko Pimentel received online backlash after violating Makati Medical Center’s quarantine protocols.
The senator did not deny that he went to the Makati Medical Center to accompany his wife who was scheduled to deliver their first child.
But, he denied that he entered and roamed around the delivery room. He even claimed that he left the hospital immediately after receiving a call that he had tested COVID-19 positive.
