Hello everyone. As soon as I heard the news yesterday, I have decided to do a self-quarantine until I get tested. It makes me sad that I won't be able to see my own family, probinsyano family and friends as of the moment. But we have to be proactive! - Stay safe, drink vitamin C, boost your immune system, drink lots of water and rest. 🙏🏻❤️ _ I'll keep myself busy by finishing all my books or start my new koreanovela, Itaewon Class.😘 --------------------------------------------------- FINAL STATEMENT Statement from Senator Win Gatchalian I have recently been informed that a resource person who attended the hearing of the Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture last March 5, 2020, which I Chair, has tested positive for COVID-19. Though I am asymptomatic and feel healthy, I will follow government set protocols on such cases and go into self-quarantine immediately given that I interacted with the said individual during that committee hearing. I instructed all my staff to do the same especially those who had direct contact with the said person too.
