Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., announced Monday he was cleared to go home after getting hospitalized due to pneumonia brought by COVID-19.
“Thank You, God for Your unending love and care,” he said in a Facebook post.
“Great news po! The doctors have cleared me for discharge. I am so excited to go home. Hindi pa po tapos ang aking pagpapagaling, but they said I am strong and well enough to continue treatment at home,” he added.
The senator was rushed to the hospital last week after testing positive for COVID-19. His X-ray showed that he has developed pneumonia and that isolation in a regular facility was no longer ideal.
“Again, maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong mga panalangin. Sobrang nakakataba ng puso ang inyong mga ipinarating na dasal at mga words of encouragement and well wishes. I cannot thank all of you enough,” Revilla said.
Jolo Revilla earlier shared his prayer for his father’s recovery.

“Panginoon, Kayo ang aming sandigan at pinagmumulan ng ibayong lakas upang mapagtagumpayan ang pinakamalaking hamon ng aming panahon. Itinataas namin sa Inyo ang aming bansa, at ang lahat ng aming mga kababayan na nagdurusa ng dahil COVID-19. Sa Inyong banal na dugo, balutin po Ninyo ang aming frontliners upang patuloy nilang gampanan ang kanilang tungkulin ng hindi nalalagay sa alanganin ang kanilang sariling kaligtasan. Ipinapanalangin din po namin ang lahat ng indibidwal na kasalukuyang pinahihirapan ng sakit na ito, upang sa agad silang gumaling at bumalik sa piling ng kani-kanilang pamilya,” said Jolo.
Jolo, the current vice governor of Cavite, also prayed that God would not leave his father and that he would be healed so that they could be with him again.
“Itinataas rin po namin sa Inyo ang agarang paggaling ng aking Papa na si Senator Ramon Bong Revilla, Jr. Lubos po kaming nananampalataya na hindi Ninyo siya pababayaan at tuluyang pagagalingin upang muli namin siyang makapiling, maging ng aming mga kababayan na kanyang pinaglilingkuran. Tanging Kayo lamang ang aming Tagapagligtas, kaya patuloy kaming mananampalataya sa Inyo. Malaki man ang hamon na aming kinakaharap dahil sa COVID-19, mas malaki at mas makapangyarihan pa rin ang aming Diyos na Tagapagligtas. Amen,” said Jolo.
