Baeby Baste says prayer to protect Papa Sol from COVID-19

Baeby Baste, the youngest host of noontime TV show Eat Bulaga gladly shared to the public that his police officer Papa Sol has recovered from 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on Wednesday, April 22.

His dad was among the declared COVID-19 positive from the police department.

“Back to work na po si Papa Sol. Thank you Lord God. Thank you po sa prayers n'yo dabarkads.

“My papa is a FRONTLINER. We miss you and love you, Pa. Sana po gumaling na din po mga kasamahan nya sa Isolation Bldg. ng Camp Crame at sa lahat po ng mga lumalaban sa virus, naway papagalingin na po kayo ni Lord. #PNPcovidpositive#weHEALasONE,” the young Dabarkad said.

In an exclusive interview with 24 Oras, Baeby Basta shared that he misses his dad so much.

“Miss na miss na po namin si Papa. Pero si Papa hindi pa maka-go home kasi isa siya sa frontliners at pulis. To serve and protect,” he said.

But in order to shrug off the anxiousness, the young host related that he always asks God to shield his frontliner dad from the COVID-19 disease.

“Lord kayo na po bahala sa Papa Sol ko at sa iba't ibang frontliners sa buong mundo. Alam ko po 'di N'yo po sila pababayaan. Kaya please lang Lord, i-protect N'yo po sila kasi sobrang dami pong naghihintay sa kanila, mga families nila,” he added.

Baste has also been gracious with his donations to the Philippine National Police (PNP) workforce.

He's been relentlessly assisting the PNP frontliners with food and medical supplies.

“Para sa atong mga dabarkads nga PNP frontliners. Daghang salamat po sa inyong pag serbisyo para sa katawhang Pilipino. Saludo po kami sa inyo. In our own little way, sana po ay makapag bigay ng ngiti po ito sa inyo... ipag-pray ko po kayong lahat,” he said.
