Valenzuela exec catches COVID
By J.Lo
“I wish to inform my fellow Valenzuelanos that I have tested positive for COVID-19 after recently undergoing routine work safety testing in city hall,” Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian announced he has tested positive for COVID-19, as the capital region battles an apparent surge in the number of cases of the respiratory disease.
Gatchalian, the latest local chief executive in the capital region to get infected, said he is experiencing mild symptoms.
Gatchalian, who is seeking a return to the House of Representatives in next year’s elections, said he would continue to fulfill his responsibilities as mayor while undergoing mandatory quarantine.
“Rest assured the services of city hall will continue without any hitches,” he said.
Earlier this week, Pasay Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano and Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco also tested positive for COVID-19
The Philippines continues to experience a resurgence of COVID-19 infections following eased restrictions during holiday season.
Health officials and experts also suspect the highly contagious omicron variant is driving the rise in cases.
The National Capital Region and 3 of its neighboring provinces have been placed under the third strictest alert level in a bid to curb infections.
Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco has tested positive for COVID-19, the second Metro Manila mayor to announce getting the respiratory illness in a single day.
In a Facebook post Sunday, Tiangco said he regularly tests himself using an antigen test kit due to his severe asthma.
He tested negative on Saturday, but tested positive Sunday noon. He then took an RT-PCR test which turned out positive.
” I apologize to everyone who I talked to the past few days and I ask you to observe yourselves. If you feel anything different, please have yourselves checked,” Tiangco said.
Tiangco said he will be going on a 14-day isolation, but he will try his best to still perform his duties as local chief executive.
Pasay Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano earlier announced she tested positive for COVID-19 again. She first caught the illness in February 2021.
The two mayors’ reinfection comes as Metro Manila experienced rise in COVID-19 cases, following relaxed restrictions during the holidays.
