“Sa awa ng Diyos, asymptomatic naman po siya habang ang aking ina na si Mayor Lani sampu ng aming pamilya ay nag-negatibo. Malaki po ang magagawa ng ating pinagsama-samang panalangin,” Jolo wrote.
Meanwhile, Lani Mercardo, Bong’s wife, was saddened as she cannot take care of her husband personally because of the contagiousness of the virus.
“Papaano mo maipapakita ang pag-aasikaso at pag-aalaga sa iyong asawa na positive sa Covid-19? Hindi mo masamahan. Hindi mo mayakap. Hindi mo mahagkan dahilan sa kailangang mag-14 day isolation muli,” she said.
[How can you show your care to your husband who is COVID-19 positive? You cannot be with him, you cannot hug him. You cannot do so because you will need to isolate for 14 days again]
