Ramon Ang appeals to public not to share false news about son Jomar

Business magnate Ramon S. Ang on Monday appealed to the public not to spread false news about his son, who is currently in hospital.

"I would like to appeal to the public to please help stop spreading false news about my son, Jomar," the elder Ang, president and COO of diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corporation, said in a statement Monday.

"He is alive and still in hospital. Please do not pass on or share these rumors," he added.

The family earlier said the younger Ang was rushed to the St. Luke's Medical Center on Sunday, where he was in critical condition as of that day.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers. However, we request that the privacy of our family be respected during this difficult time," said Ang. — Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/BM, GMA News
