By Aimee Anoc

Candy Pangilinan revealed that she has caught COVID-19 a second time and now in isolation.

In her vlog, Candy detailed her experience and shared that her symptoms are more intense now than the first time.

"Naka-isolate po ako. This is the second time nagkaroon po ako ng COVID. The first time was last year, December (2020)," she shared.

The celebrity mom also shared her fears she might pass it on to her family, especially her son Quentin Alvarado.

"No'ng unang beses po akong magka-COVID, hindi po sila nahawa at all. Wala po silang symptoms. Pero ngayon hindi ko alam, and I really hope and pray na sana hindi sila nahawa," Candy said.

"Ngayon masakit 'yung ulo ko at may sipon po ako. Parang mas iba 'yung nararamdaman ko ngayon at saka may ubo, may makati. Dasal ko lang na sana talaga hindi mahawa si Quentin at mama," she added.

Candy said that they were scheduled for a test, but the testers did not make it to their house because they caught the virus, too.

The 49-year-old mom urged the public to take even minor symptoms seriously and to take care of themselves amid the pandemic.

"It's really dangerous and it's really out there, and you don't know when you will get it. Akala ko na rati na parang sipon. Ngayon po, kung mayroon kayong sipon, i-assume niyo na po na mayroon kayo."

Despite her condition, Pangilinan remains grateful because she can isolate safely at home. "Even though I have COVID right now and it's the start of the year, believe it or not, I am still very grateful because I am isolated here in the house.

"I am still very blessed. I am very optimistic of 2022, of what it will bring us, each one of us, and I pray that 2022 will be the best for all of us."

Candy ended her vlog hoping for her fast recovery and her family's safety.
