LIKE everyone else, Jericho Rosales is not immune to the effects of the COVID-19 crisis.
Despite this, the Kapamilya actor revealed in an interview on Sunday night that he is choosing to look at the current situation all over the world in a positive light.
“Kami ni Kim (Jones), galing kami ng Paris so nag-self-quarantine kami ng dalawang linggo and then after that, ito ulit quarantine. So medyo tatlong linggo na kaming nasa bahay,” he began.
“Sa panahong ito, naa-appreciate ko ‘yung nasa bahay. Nae-enjoy ko talaga na nakakausap ko ‘yung mga kasama namin sa bahay. Napag-uusapan namin ‘yung mga hindi namin napag-uusapan. Nakakatulong ito,” he added.
However, Rosales could not help but think of those who lost their jobs because of the Luzon-wide lockdown.
“I just want to say na it’s okay. Kung nakakaramdam kayo ng takot, ng gulo, ng lito. It’s okay. But it’s also okay for everyone to understand what hope means, understand what humanity means. This is a time where we can trust each other. We will help each other, we will show love,” he added.
Rosales also expressed his gratitude to everyone keeping the Philippines afloat amid crisis. He likewise urged his fellow countrymen to cooperate with the health workers as they spearhead the battle against the pandemic.
“I want to first congratulate lahat ng mga doctors, lahat ng frontliners, health workers, nurses, lahat ng mga kinakailangan lumabas ng tahanan nila para alagaan ang mga pasyente… Bigyan natin sila ng importansya kasi lumalabas sila para gamutin tayong lahat. Pati ‘yung mga pamilya nila siyempre nalalagay sa panganib. ‘Yung pagtulong na lang natin, ‘yung pag-alaga sa kanila,” he said.(ABS-CBN)
