De Leon revealed last March 17 that he was positive for coronavirus despite having no recent travel history outside the Philippines and had no known contact with any COVID-19-positive patient.
His daughter Mariel, who is based in New York, recently defended her dad in availing of a COVID-19 test. She said her father had been sick and that her mom faces health issues besides being a kidney transplant patient.
