Bongbong Marcos: I'm a COVID-19 survivor

Former senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Thursday announced he finally won his battle with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

“COVID survivor na tayo,” Marcos said in his latest vlog on YouTube.

“I’m still one of the lucky ones because of the good work ng ating mga doctor, ng ating mga nurse, ng ating mga tech med, all of them, nandito pa rin ako kasi nasa high risk na ako eh,” he added.

The son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos said he was "feeling better" and was already starting to get back in shape.

Marcos thanked the medical frontliners who helped him recover from the respiratory illness.

He said he personally saw their dedication and sacrifice.

"Kaya alam niyo po talagang ako, tiyak na tiyak na sinalba ako ng ating mga doktor, ating mga health care workers kasi kung hindi sa kanila, palagay ko 'yong tumama sa akin eh baka mas naging grabe pa," Marcos said.

"Kung hindi sa kanila, naging totoo 'yong lumabas na balita na namatay na raw ako," he added. "We owe a lot to our frontliners... alam nila ang risk. Talagang hero silang lahat."

Marcos said he could have gotten the viral disease when he went to Spain to attend a wedding.

He said he cut short the trip when he learned that Metro Manila would be placed under community quarantine. -NB, GMA News

Try harder, Jover! Anti-Duterte blogger writes a trashy open letter to Atty. Glenn Chong

Jover Laurio of Pinoy Ako Blog and Atty. Glenn Chong, photos from Rappler In one of her latest blogs, the anti-Duterte blogger Jover Laurio of Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB) seem to steal Atty. Glenn Chong's thunder after writing an open letter for the latter which — by the looks of it — is lacking substance and therefore of poor quality or in other words, trashy. Colloquial term like 'Luh' and 'Uzi' which she later defined as 'Usisero' has been used by its writer in an open letter meant for a professional lawyer. How funny is that? In addition, her demeanor or approach on the said letter is just too much to take, specifically on the last part of it. Laurio, a social media personality that became quite familiar to some netizens due to her non-stop criticisms to the Duterte administration, is admired by the president's detractors because they see her as a beacon of hope for being vocal for her dissent. Some, on the other hand, strongly b...
