4th Impact's COVID-19 positive mother finally gets admitted to ER

Singing group 4th Impact's mother, who tested positive with COVID-19, was finally admitted to an emergency room after she was rejected by numerous over-filled hospitals.

In an Instagram post on Friday, sisters Almira, Irene, Mylene, and Celina, popularly known as 4th Impact, shared a photo of their mother, Erlinda Cercado, on a "decent bed" after waiting in a tent outside the hospital.

They wrote, "Thank you, Lord. Now my mom is in [the] ER with [a] decent bed and enough nurses looking [after] her...Let's continue to pray for recovery. Please shower us with your mercy, Lord."

"Salamat po sa mga nagdadasal [para] sa mama ko. Maraming salamat sa mga nag-reach out at nagtawag ng hospitals. Let's all be safe," the group added.

[Thank you to everyone who prayed for my mom. Thank you to those who reached out and called hospitals. Let's all be safe.]

In a vlog posted on Thursday, the members begged the public to help their mom get admitted to hospital and get a proper room. According to the group, they were rejected by numerous other hospitals since they were all full.

"Ang hirap po dito sa Pilipinas, wala man lang tumatanggap sa amin sa ospital," a member said. "Dami na naming ospital na pinuntahan. Wala manlang tumanggap sa amin."

[It's so hard here in the Philippines, no hospital even accepted us. We went to so many already. Not one accepted us.]
