Kim Atienza laments missing daughter's graduation after contracting COVID-19

Mars Pa More host Kim Atienza reminds us of the dangers of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic after he confirmed on Instagram that he's currently in home isolation after contracting the highly-contagious disease.

Because of his condition, he wasn't able to attend the High School graduation of his daughter Eliana today, May 28.

Kuya Kim posted, “I took a leave for this day I was sooo looking forward to but covid took the better of me and I had to isolate at home.”

Still, the proud father expressed how much he loves his daughter and congratulated her for reaching this new milestone in her life.

He said, “I love you and I am sooo proud of you @elianahatienza you are God's gift to mama and I and in a few months, you shall be in college far away from both of us.

“Parents are like bows and you are like an arrow. Our job is to shoot you far and straight and high.....far away from us. It is sad but that's what parents are designed to do.

“I love you and will always be proud of you my dearest baby @elianahatienza.”

Meanwhile, the Kapuso news personality also thanked, via Instagram Story, Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno for the COVID-19 medications he received.

The Department of Health (DOH) recorded 1,214 new COVID-19 infections in the country from May 16 to 22.

Praying for your fast recovery, Kuya Kim!
