Actor-writer-director Kidlat Tahimik has revealed he was tested positive for COVID-19 after he attended the Ibagiw festival in Baguio City.
In an article published in Baguio Chronicle, the Father of Philippine Independent Cinema, also encouraged people he socialized with during the festival to have themselves tested.
Kidlat said that he is on “self-imposed quarantine” these days.
“I am visited daily by a throng of medics. These PPE-dressed health officials come in an ambulance to monitor my temperature, my oxygen count, my difficulty of breathing, my BP,” he said.
Kidlat said that since his swab test on Dec. 11, the people whom he had intensive contact with, like his sons, the carpenters he worked with, artists he chatted with, etc., have all taken swab tests.
