MANILA--Sen.

Sonny Angara is a relatively healthy family man, frequently shooting hoops with colleagues, occasionally treating his children to burgers, and at times joining his wife for a few spinning classes.Tests showed that the senator suffered from pneumonia after the virus made its way to his lungs.

Lalo akong nakumbinse na posibleng apektado na nga ako ng virus dahil kaming dalawa ni Senator Zubiri ay laging magkasama sa iba’t ibang trabaho at mga kaganapan sa loob at labas ng Senado sa buong linggong iyon. Noong lumabas ang resulta, agad akong sinabihan ng aking mga kaibigang doktor na magpunta na sa ospital para ma-X-ray ang dibdib ko at ang baga ko. Hindi maganda ang resulta dahil lumabas na mayroon akong pneumonia. Nakita rin sa X-ray na may mga white spots ako sa baga na nagpapatunay na naroon ang virus.

Maaaring mabuti ang pakiramdam ko ngayon, pero bibiglain ako isang araw na ‘di na ko halos makahinga at kailangan ko ng oxygen. We were told there were no rooms available in St. Luke's BGC but that I could stay in the emergency room while waiting for a regular room. Palagay ko, malaki ang naitulong sa akin ng healthy diet na sinimulan ko noong Enero ngayong taon. Mula sa dati kong timbang noong nakaraang taon, nabawasan ito ng 10 pounds.

When you are down there is nothing like tens or hundreds of your friends and school co-parents praying for your recovery. I thank the Lord, for I felt his intervention through friends’ and strangers’ acts of kindness. Sa ilang araw ko sa ospital na tanging social media at Netflix ang kasama ko, doon ko nahanap ang oras na makipag-usap sa Diyos nang taimtim.

A few days ago, I got that result and my doctors sent me home. Going home was pure joy although again I had to self-quarantine for 14 days to protect my family and kasambahay/househelpers.
