Filipino actor and politician Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. has tested positive for the coronavirus and is currently observing self-quarantine.
He penned on Facebook, "Nakakalungkot po na balita --- I am COVID-19 positive.
"Pero huwag po kayong mag-alala, I am okay. Sila Lani at ang mga bata ay okay rin at sa awa ng Diyos, ay negative naman ang lahat.
"Kami ay nagpa-test at nag-isolate agad matapos may mag-positive sa aming household at isa sa aking mga tauhan."
He informed everyone that he was in the Senate on Monday, August 3, and went out the next day to commemorate the 40th day of his dad's passing.
He added, "Sa payo po ng aking doktor ay itutuloy ko ngayon ang aking quarantine but will be under observation.
"Kasama ang inyong mga dasal, at sa grasya ng Panginoon, makakaraos at malalampasan din ito.
"Ngayon pa lang, salamat po sa inyong mga panalangin. Thank you for your prayers."
