The mother of Enzo Pineda revealed how the actor fought the virus while taking care of his father, 1-Pacman party-list Rep. Enrico Pineda.
“Weeks ago, Enzo was not feeling well with slight fever accompanied by mild cough and colds. His Dad also had itchy throat and slight fever. So our whole family took the PCR/ Swab test to make sure. Enzo and his Dad tested positive,” Macy Pineda told the Philippine Star.
The rest of their family members tested negative for the virus. Pineda’s father however was confined after contracting pneumonia.
“The rest of my family we’re ok & tested negative. We, including household staff way before always wore masks in and out of our house with social distancing.They must have caught it from outside, not sure where. Enzo had clear lungs and no serious medical issues. My husband had mild pnuemonia and was ordered by his doctors to be confined in the hospital,” she added.
The actor however insisted to taking care of his father in the hospital.
