On the latest episode of All-Out Sundays, the show has produced a video as a special tribute for the people who have battled with the COVID-19: frontliners, patients, and survivors.
The Kapuso celebrities who are survivors of the deadly disease have talked about how they have fought hard to survive.
Ken Chan and Rita Daniela, the star of the new series Ang Dalawang Ikaw, have confessed that they are COVID-19 survivors despite being extra careful.
“Sa lahat ng proteksyon at pag-iingat sa sarili mo, kailangan mo talaga itong seryosohin sa lahat ng oras. Uulitin ko po, sa lahat ng oras. Dahil sandali lang na makalimot ka, hindi lang ikaw ‘yung puwedeng magkasakit. Ito na siguro ‘yung pinakamabigat na naranasan ko sa buong buhay ko, dahil hindi lamang po ako ‘yung tinamaan at nagkaroon ng virus, ‘yung buong pamilya ko po. Lahat kami sa bahay nagkaroon ng COVID.
“Wala kang choice kung hindi harapin ito nang buong tapang. Kailangan magpakatatag, dahil kapag sumuko ka parang sinuko mo na rin ‘yung chance na gumaling ‘yung mga mahal mo sa buhay. Pero sa kabila ng mga nangyari nagsilbi itong aral sa aming lahat na ‘yung pag-iingat, kahit gaano siya kahirap kailangan mong pagtuunan ng pansin para hindi na maulit,” Ken was emotional sharing the toughest life situation he has been through.
“Of course, natakot ako. ‘Di ba, when you watch the news, you see numbers. Then it becomes the people that you know. Then one day, sasabihin na ikaw, meron ka na rin. Mahirap siyang tanggapin kasi ginagawa mo lahat eh, to take care of yourself, the people that you love, your family and friends, pero hindi eh, dinapuan ka pa rin. Nagkaroon ka pa rin. It is really out there.
“COVID is real. Si God lang talaga ‘yung kaya mong kapitan eh. Siya lang talaga. Of course, I prayed hard. I prayed really really hard for myself and for my family. Every morning that I wake up, I was given a chance to thank Him for all the things He has blessed me,” Rita shared that it was her faith in the Creator that abled her to cope with the life-threatening situation.
Aside from the two, the Kapuso actors Boobay, Rhian Ramos, and Michael V. also shared their life-changing experiences with the COVID-19.
