Caloocan congressman Along Malapitan says he tested positive for COVID-19 since filing his certificate for candidacy for mayor last Wednesday. He says he tested negative on the day of the filing, and tested positive just yesterday. #BilangPilipino2022 | @mjaysoncayabyab
@mjaysoncayabyab Caloocan city hall clarifies that Comelec staff need not get tested because they were exposed to Cong. Malapitan on Wednesday. Only those who were exposed to him two days before onset of symptoms need to get tested. #BilangPilipino2022 | @mjaysoncayabyab
@mjaysoncayabyab Malapitan did some rounds during that time, according to his FB page. He led a cash aid distribution visit in a city university. He also met a sari-sari store showcase winner who is a breast cancer survivor, and the family of a murder victim. | @mjaysoncayabyab
@mjaysoncayabyab Malapitan says his office would be willing to assist those who were exposed to him since Thursday to get tested. | @mjaysoncayabyab

Last Saturday, med tech volunteer Ara Dela Cruz, 24, said a patient at the hospital’s emergency room received a letter from his wife who couldn’t be with her due to COVID-19 protocols.
The letter written on a piece of paper read: “’Di pa nagpunta si Jella dito. Wala na akong pambili ng kailangan mo, wala na rin akong pambili ng pagkain dito.”
Party officials in Aksyon Demokratiko claim that support for Isko Moreno (in the event he withdraws) would be in favor of Bongbong Marcos/Sara Duterte's candidacy. Party deny claims Moreno is Duterte's candidate/supporter of dictator Marcos. #BilangPilipino2022 | @mjaysoncayabyab
@mjaysoncayabyab Speaking to ANC Headstart, Caloocan Rep. Edgar Erice, longtime Liberal Party member who jumped to Aksyon, cited internal survey analysis that should Moreno give way to Robredo, his votes would only go in favor of Marcos/Duterte. | @mjaysoncayabyab
@mjaysoncayabyab But Erice, who spoke critically of the Liberal Party's leadership under Robredo, said if the vice president withdraws, Robredo’s votes would go to Moreno, which means the Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer stands to gain if Robredo backs out. | @mjaysoncayabyab

@edupunay Pichay in an earlier interview: We respect the decision of Mayor Sara running for mayor… but you know we are not sure if that is final. If in case she changes her mind then we can offer our party. #BilangPilipino2022 | @edupunay
