‘NO WORRIES, I’M COVID-19 NEGATIVE’ – PACQUIAO
FIGHTING senator Manny Pacquiao said on Saturday that Dasmariñas Village in Makati City where he lives has nothing to worry about because he was tested for Covid- 19 and came out negative.
In a statement sent to the media by Pacquiao’s special assistant Jayke Joson, the 41-yearold World Boxing Association super welterweight champion responded to the letter of Dasmariñas
Village.
Barangay Chairman Rosanna Hwang said he should be in quarantine since he has been seen mingling with government officials who tested positive of
Covid- 19. “Huwagpokayongmag-alala. May na tang gap po a kong rapid testing kits mu las a a king mg a kaibigansa South Korea. Gamit ang rapid test kit na approved sa
