MAYOR Toby Tiangco of Navotas City has tested positive for COVID-19
Earlier, Pasay Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano, also announced getting the respiratory illness.
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.
“Ako po ay humihingi ng paumanhin sa lahat ng aking nakaharap noong nakaraang mga araw at nakikiusap na obserbahan nang mabuti ang inyong kalusugan. Kung meron kayong nararamdamang kakaiba, sumangguni po agad sa doctor,” Tiangco said.
(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 he will be going on 14-day isolation, but he will try his best to still perform his duties as local chief executive.
