Anakalusugan party-list Representative Mike Defensor announced that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Defensor said that he tested positive for the virus two weeks ago and would still undergo a confirmatory test if he had already recovered from the disease.

The announcement comes a few days after Defensor was ousted from his posts at the House of Representatives and was replaced by the allies of House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco.

“Mga two weeks na ito, nag-positive ako sa Covid along with seven people in my house, including my son-in-law pero okay naman. Hindi kami severe, wala naman masyadong—siguro asymptomatic kaming dalawa,” Defensor said.

“Quarantine lang kami and of course, yung basic na mga gamot, inom ng mga vitamins and observe ‘yung protocols [We just need to undergo quarantine and of course medicines and observe the health protocols,” he added.

Defensor said that he was not with his family when he tested positive for the virus.

Defensor was among lawmakers who pushed for the non-renewal of the franchise of ABS-CBN under the leadership of Alan Peter Cayetano. (TDT)
