Jolo Revilla shared his prayers for his father, Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., who tested positive for coronavirus.
This follows the confirmation of Jolo’s mother, Bacoor Mayor Lani Mercado, who rushed her husband to the hospital on Tuesday, and the results of his X-ray revealed pneumonia.
In his Instagram post on Tuesday night, Jolo shared his prayer not only for the father but also for everyone affected by the pandemic.
“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.
In Jolo’s earlier statement, he said his father, Bong Revilla, was asymptomatic, while their mother and other family members were negative for COVID-19.
The senator and his family underwent an examination after one of their housemates tested positive for the deadly virus.
In March, a staff member of Bong Revilla died of COVID-19.
