GMA wishes for Erap’s recovery from COVID-19: You’re in my thoughts, prayers

By Billy Begas

Former President and Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Monday extended her warmest wishes for the speedy recovery of her predecessor former President Joseph Estrada.

“I wish to extend my warmest wishes for a speedy recovery to former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada and all those battling Covid-19. You are in my thoughts and prayers,” said Arroyo.

Arroyo replaced Estrada in 2001 after he left Malacañang amid the impeachment trial.

Estrada, also a former mayor of Manila, tested positive for COVID-19 according to his son former Sen. Jinggoy Estrada.

“Nais ko pong ipaalam sa inyo na ang aking ama, na si dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada, ay isinugod namin sa ospital kagabi sa kadahilanan ng panghihina ng kanyang katawan,” the younger Estrada posted in his social media account.

Another son, former Sen. JV Ejercito also asked prayers for his father.

“Please pray for my father who has tested positive for COVID-19 and was rushed to the hospital. Please pray for all those who are likewise fighting this virus,” Ejercito said.
