By Bianca Geli

Singer Angeline Quinto recently opened up about her battle with COVID-19 after testing positive in March.

In a recent vlog, she showed how she's coping with her symptoms, "Ito guys 'yung mga kailangan kong gamot at vitamins kumpleto 'yan. If ever ubuhin ako o sipunin may gamot. Ito 'yung mga vitamins na tini-take ko every day."

She also had a digital thermometer and oximeter ready on hand. "Tapos 'yung mga kailangan ko if mag-check ako ng temperature ko at oxygen. Pero at least kumpleto at naka-ready anytime. Angeline also tried steam inhalation of salt water steam or "suob" or "tuob."

Throughout her recovery, Angeline was watching online Holy Mass, keeping in touch with friends via video calling, and eating fruits.

By the end of her 14-day quarantine, she finally tested negative and thanked everyone for their well wishes. "Maraming salamat sa mga dumamay sa akin, sa mga sumama sa akin dito sa COVID-19 journey ko, sa lahat ng mga araw-araw nangangamusta, nagpapadala ng pagkain, napakaraming tao talaga ang nagpakita talaga ng pagmamahal dahil sa pinagdaanan ko."

Angeline also gave out tips for handling COVID-19. She even came up with an Acronym for it-- "ANGGE" -- which is actually her nickname.

She said, "Sa tagal kong nandito nakaisip na ako ng meaning ng Angge.

"Always check your oxygen level, temperature, and hygiene.

"No to stress and worrying.

"Get enough sleep ang rest. Importante pa rin po na nakakatulog tayo nang maayos.

"Get in touch with a doctor, and also your family and friends.

"Eat healthy fruit and vegetables.

She added, "Bukod diyan ang pinakaimportante, 'wag nating kalilimutan lahat, ang pagdadasal. 'Yan ang pinakamagiging sandata natin sa sakit na 'yan."
