"Asymptomatic talaga kami. Pero nag-iba kasi pakiramdam namin days after we went to a party. Nagpa-swab test kami at naging positive ang results namin. Sa ngayon nasa bahay lang kami naka-home quarantine," said Hinola, also publisher of a glossy magazine.

Hinola, 50, reminded the public to keep safe and practice healthy lifestyle all the time to protect themselves from the virus. "Avoid crowded places. Mag-ingat po tayo palagi."
