Bong Revilla: Doctors have cleared me for discharge


Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr., who tested positive for COVID-19, announced on Monday that he was allowed to continue his treatment at home.

"Great news po! The doctors have cleared me for discharge. I am so excited to go home," Revilla said in a Facebook post.

"Hindi pa po tapos ang aking pagpapagaling, but they said I am strong and well enough to continue treatment at home," he added.

Revilla was rushed to the hospital last week. It was found out that he has developed pneumonia after testing positive for COVID-19.

The senator thanked everyone who prayed for his recovery.

He was the fourth senator to get infected with COVID-19. Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, Senators Sonny Angara and Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III have already recovered from it. — Dona Magsino/RSJ, GMA News
