Pokwang remains optimistic as she continues to recover from COVID-19, and wrote an open letter to the disease while in isolation.
The comedian addressed COVID-19 while showing herself spending some time in the sun on her Instagram page today, Jan. 12.
“Dear [COVID-19], eto ako nagpapaaraw para lumakas muli at makabawi. Ika-[anim na araw] ko na ng isolation. Buti na lang bakunado ako kaya kinaya kita [nang] bongga!” she said.
(Dear COVID-19, I’m here in the sun to get stronger again and recover. It’s my sixth day of isolation. It’s a good thing I was vaccinated so I handled you well.)
Pokwang then encouraged those who also tested positive for COVID-19 to not lose hope and to trust God amid challenges.
