Ping backers inspire 'most qualified presidentiable' to recover swiftly from COVID-19
Presidential aspirant Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, January 7, after isolating himself upon learning that his household members, including his eldest son, had contracted the virus.
Lacson began his self-quarantine on Tuesday, January 4, a decision that likely prevented further spread to his campaign staff and their families.
Despite his diagnosis, Lacson has continued to work remotely while in isolation.
Partido Reporma, Lacson's party, revealed his condition and urged public and government cooperation in addressing the current surge of COVID-19 cases.
Thousands of well-wishers and supporters have sent messages of concern and prayers for his swift recovery on social media, using hashtags like #WeNeedALeader and #LacsonMostQualifiedPresident.
