Isinugod sa hospital ang award winning actor na si Arjo Atayde matapos magpositibo sa COVID-19 habang nagso-shooting ng pelikula sa Baguio.
Ayon sa inilabas na statement ng Feelmaking Productions Inc., kinailangang dalhin sa hospital ang actor dahil sa mataas nitong lagnat, sakit ng ulo at hirap sa paghinga.
Narito ang buong statement ng Feelmaking na nire-represent ni Ellen Criste, head of production ng film production din ni Arjo.
“Arjo Atayde tested positive for COVID-19 as shooting for his new film culminated in Baguio last August 16. Arjo was suffering from high fever, headaches, and difficulty in breathing.
“It was the mutual decision of Feelmaking Productions Inc., Arjo’s parents, and doctors to rush the actor, who has a pre-existing medical condition, straight to a hospital in Manila on August 17.
“We have provided assistance for nine others who tested positive for COVID-19 but are asymptomatic and are currently in quarantine. We have likewise coordinated with the local officials for the necessary safety protocols.
“The Atayde family has reached out to Mayor Benjamin Magalong and we assure him and the people of Baguio that we will comply with our commitments to the City. We are grateful for the opportunity to shoot in their beautiful city and apologize for whatever inconvenience that this unfortunate incident may have caused.
“We request for prayers for the speedy recovery of Arjo and the nine who tested positive.”
Naisyuhan na tumakas sa Anjo bago lumabas ang resulta ng kanyang swab, ‘yun pala kinailangan siyang isinugod sa hospital.
Hey Joe ang title ng pelikulang sino-shooting nila sa City of Pines for almost two months now.
Ito talaga ang challenge ngayong pandemic. Hindi mo nakikita ang kalabang virus. Bukod sa malaki ang additional budget dahil sa health protocols na kailangang sundin.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong sa isang interview na nag-positibo sa COVID-19 ang 10 out of 100 sa grupo ni Arjo kabilang na nga ang aktor.
Pagaling ka agad, Arjo.
