Presidential aspirant and Senator Panfilo 'Ping' Lacson has tested positive for COVID-19.
In a tweet on Friday, Lacson said he underwent RT-PCR on Tuesday, January 4, and the result came out on Thursday, January 6.
"Immediately informed all my Jan 3 physical contacts of my Jan 4 Covid-positive test result which was released only last night, Jan 6 so they can take extra precautions to protect their loved ones and others," Lacson said.
"Thank God no one is exhibiting symptoms. Wearing our masks helped much."
