UPDATE Sa mga concerned, nagpa-X-ray ako kahapon para masiguro kung meron akong pneumonia. Medyo mabilis kasi akong mapagod. May nakita silang pwedeng “pagmulan” ng pneumonia pero hindi naman daw kailangang magpa-ospital. Niresetahan nila ako ng antibiotics at sinabihang sa bahay na lang ituloy ang pagpapagaling. Naka-self quarantine pa rin po ako para sa safety ng lahat ng nasa paligid ko. Gusto kong magpasalamat sa lahat ng patuloy na nagdarasal para sa kaligtasan namin ng pamilya ko. At gusto ko ring paalalahanan ang lahat na mag-ingat para wala kayong pagsisihan sa huli. Maging responsable at gawin ang lahat ng makakaya para hindi kayo mahawa o makahawa. Laging maging malinis sa paligid at pangangatawan. At lagi ring magsuot ng mask at PPE. Stay home everyone and stay safe. ????????

"May nakita silang pwedeng “pagmulan” ng pneumonia pero hindi naman daw kailangang magpa-ospital," he said.

He said he is now taking antibiotics and is continuing his self-quarantine.

Bitoy thanks those who continue to pray for his and his family's safety.

He also urged everyone to take care and be responsible.

"Maging responsable at gawin ang lahat ng makakaya para hindi kayo mahawa o makahawa," he said.

"Laging maging malinis sa paligid at pangangatawan. At lagi ring magsuot ng mask at PPE. Stay home everyone and stay safe," he added.

In his video announcement, Bitoy said he experienced flu-like symptoms the last time he tried to vlog. He also lost his sense of smell and taste.

However, he assured the public that he is getting better.

Bitoy is among the few celebrities like Iza Calzado, Christopher de Leon, and Howie Severino who caught COVID-19.
