“I offer my earnest prayers for the fast recovery of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who tested positive for COVID-19,” Vice President Sara Duterte said in a statement on Friday night.
“May God continue to bless him with good health as he leads the country,” she added.
For the second time, Marcos has tested positive for COVID-19 in an antigen test, Malacanang announced on Friday, the first being in 2020.
VP Duterte presided over a meeting with local government officials on behalf of Marcos, who attended virtually since he is in a seven-day isolation. (Jaymel Manuel)
