Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 18) – Senator Bong Revilla, was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday with pneumonia after recently testing positive for COVID-19, said his wife Bacoor Mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla.
“He is being rushed to the hospital. His latest X-Ray shows that he has developed pneumonia and isolation in a regular facility is no longer ideal. Hospital care badly needed,” she said in an online post.
The senator previously said that someone in their household as well as a member of his staff tested positive for the virus. His wife and children tested negative.
Fellow senators Juan Miguel Zubiri and Sonny Angara have already recovered after catching the highly-infectious virus.
