During the press conference of Bagong Umaga, the actor was a bit hesitant at first to reveal that he contracted the disease while on the set and how he managed to overcome the ailment.
“I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say this, but the show is about to finish, I don’t think they can get mad at me for this. But halos lahat kami COVID survivors. Am I allowed to say that?” Tony began.
He then apologized while laughing, realizing that he let out a secret.
“We’re working in a time of pandemic and it happens. But God is good and we all survived so that was pretty unforgettable. But I want to reiterate, prod took really, really good care of us. Without them, we would be nowhere so I’m sorry shucks, I don’t want to get into trouble,” he continued.
Tony then went on to detail the symptoms that he felt, which included fever, cough, and body pains.
“Nakaka-praning siya kasi I had a friend who survived COVID and yung sinabi niya sa akin nung nag-recover na ako, ‘Tony, alam mo ba na ito na yung second life mo? Kasi when people get COVID, it’s either they live or they die. Dalawa lang yun eh.’ So it’s crazy na kasama na ako sa statistics. Nakaka-praning siya but I’m just really thankful that I recovered really fast.
Tony then went on to narrate that he tested negative on the 12th day. He also thanked the production team of the drama series as they went all out to help those who contracted the deadly virus.
“Sila talaga yung naging family namin so parang sila talaga yung nag-alaga sa amin, made sure that we got home safe and that we had the proper meds, the doctors were always taking care of us so nakatulong talaga yun. We were all handling it like a family para no one felt left out and no one felt alone,” Tony said.
