Kiko Pangilinan tests negative for COVID-19
Senator and vice presidential aspirant Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan tested negative for COVID-19 based on his latest RT-PCR test.
Pangilinan, along with his family and household staff, also tested negative after a previous positive result was deemed a false positive by his physician sister.
He had previously entered isolation after a routine RT-PCR test showed a positive result, but he expressed surprise as he was asymptomatic.
Pangilinan highlighted the need for free testing for all, as laboratories are currently overwhelmed with an increasing number of tests.
The Philippines has been classified as at critical risk for COVID-19, with a recent surge in infections attributed to the Omicron variant.
