FORMER president and now Pampanga Second District Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo tested positive for Covid-19.
Arroyo’s camp said she will not attend President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday.
According to Arroyo’s chief of staff, Erwin Krishna Santos, the lawmaker tested positive in an antigen test last July 15 and immediately underwent self-quarantine. She is also being monitored by her personal physician.
However, Arroyo still tested positive in the RT-PCR test she took Saturday.
Due to her current health condition, Arroyo will not be able to attend Marcos Jr.’s SONA.
The Philippines on Saturday reported 3,604 new COVID-19 cases, the highest daily tally since February 12.
