CALOOCAN City Mayor Oca Malapitan announced on Sunday that he ended up his quarantine period after testing negative for COVID-19, more than a week after testing positive for it.

“Taos-puso po akong nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng mga nag-asikaso, nagpadala ng pagkain, nagpaabot ng mensahe, at nagdasal para sa akin. Hindi man ako nakasagot, nais kong ipabatid na ako ay nagpapasalamat sa inyong suporta, malasakit at pagmamahal sa akin,” Mayor Oca said in his statement.

The mayor, most of all, expressed his deepest thanked to the Lord who did not neglect him and instead healed him against the dreaded virus. He also took the opportunity to encourage every citizen, especially seniors like him, to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Napakalaking tulong na ako ay fully-vaccinated ng AstraZeneca dahil kahit ako ay tinamaan ng sakit, hindi ako nakaranas nang malalang COVID-19 dahil may proteksyon ako ng bakuna,” Mayor Oca said.

At the end of his statement, Mayor Oca again expressed his gratitude to all and reminded everybody to be extra careful which is also one way of helping the medical workers.

”Ipagdasal din natin ang iba pang tinamaan ng sakit. Hangad ko ang kaligtasan ng bawat isa laban sa pandemyang ito,” the mayor added.
