This is now pandemic and the rise of the confirmed cases globally is definitely alarming already as it is now approaching the 2 million mark. This disease hasalso claimed a lot of lives already. Lockdowns were also declared in many parts of the world in order to contain the spread of the virus.
Mercado, on her video, was sharing her words about the situation of Bacoor amid the crisis when the mistake happened. Her message was supposed to be inspiring but not until she uttered COVID-14.
And now, several days after she did it, she laughed off her little mistake. She said, “Sa mga natuwa sa aking pagkakamali… Labanan ang COVID-14. Sorry po. Talagang wala na, ang dami pong iniisip. Sorry po sa mga nagalit.”
