Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 27)— Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission chairman Greco Belgica announced on Friday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
“Nakakalungkot na sa kabila ng ating pag-iingat ay tinamaan pa rin ako ng COVID-19,” Belgica wrote on his Facebook page. “Tunay ngang hindi biro ang sakit na ito at talagang mapanganib.”
[Translation: It’s sad that despite all the caution, I still got COVID-19. It’s true that this disease is no joke and really dangerous.]
Belgica, however, said he will continue performing his duties to “fight the corruption in government.”
Coronavirus infections inched closer to 1.9 million nationwide after the Department of Health reported 16,313 new cases on Thursday.
