test</u></strong></a></div><p>&quot;Nung time na nalaman ko na nag-positive si Marco, nag-guest ako sa isang show tapos a few days later, tumawag din sa &#x27;kin &#x27;yung show na &#x27;yun to tell me na &#x27;yung isa sa mga kasama ko nag-positive din. Eh &#x27;yung nag-positive na &#x27;yun, kami talaga &#x27;yung nag-interact the whole time. So sobra talaga akong kinabahan din kasi siyempre may mga bata rito. Meron akong tita na senior,&quot; she shared.</p><p>&quot;Nag-saliva anti-gen test din ako. Pero thank God nga kasi dito sa bahay, wala naman din talaga kaming kahit anong nararamdaman. Tapos tumawag si Marco para sabihin sa &#x27;kin na mag-a-isolate din sila kasi &#x27;yung isang kasamahan din nila, nag-positive daw. So grabe talaga. Parang sabay na sabay talaga,&quot; she added.</p><p>She then shared her advice for those whose loved ones have been infected with the deadly virus. </p><p>&quot;Do not be discouraged. Alam ko nakaka-worry talaga. Sobra talagang nakakatakot, &#x27;di ba, kasi &#x27;di natin alam kung anong pwedeng mangyari. Kailangan lang talaga... Buti nga ngayon may technology, &#x27;di ba. We can call each other, can FaceTime each other. Continue to pray lang for your loved ones. Wala talaga tayong ibang pwedeng magawa except to pray talaga, eh, and i-encourage &#x27;yung mahal nating naka-isolate or naka-quarantine. Let them know that you&#x27;re always praying for them and remind them that God is good and that nothing is impossible with God,&quot; said Lara.</p><p>The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/hkm2021"><strong><u><em>Huwag Kang Mangamba</em></u></strong></a> star also shared her personal realizations as her family battled with COVID-19. </p><p>&quot;Sobra talaga akong thankful na si Marco asymptomatic lang. And although naguguluhan kami sa naging result nung mga tests niya, we are thankful that he&#x27;s asymptomatic. And &#x27;yun nga, it makes you realize talaga na wala talagang pinipiling tao &#x27;yung sakit, &#x27;yung COVID-19, &#x27;di ba. Parang minsan kahit gaano ka ka-ingat, hindi mo alam na magte-test positive ka. And ang dami dami rin naming kakilala na nasa ospital or nagkasakit. [I] actually just got news [that] an old friend namatay kanina lang because of COVID-19,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;COVID-19 is really very real... Kaya it really makes you think talaga na dapat you don&#x27;t take your friends for granted, your family for granted kasi ang bilis bilis lang ng oras. You don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s going to happen... So if you have the chance, hug your family. Tell them that you love them,&quot; she added.</p><p>—PJB</p>
