Cebu City has the highest cases of COVID-19. Starting June 16, it was returned to Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) due to its increasing cases.
The COVID-19 exempts no one. Several cases proved that even the young and healthy individuals can be infected by this disease. A person may even be positive for it even without showing any symptoms at all.
In Cebu City, one of those who contracted COVID-19 is the mother of veteran actress Chanda Romero. Previously, the actress was seeking plasma donations for her mother from the coronavirus survivors.
However, unfortunately, the mother of Chanda Romero did not survive COVID-19. Remedios “Meding” Romero died last June 30 at Cebu Doctors Hospital in Cebu City.
The actress and her other siblings were not able to go home to Cebu to see their mother for the last time. Based on report on Pep, the actress’ sister, Marie Romero Wood, extended their gratitude to everyone who took care of their mom.
“In behalf of my family, we deeply appreciate the overwhelming prayers, love and support during this difficult time.
