Actor Dennis Padilla opened up about his struggles when he tested positive with COVID-19.
In an interview with talent manager and broadcaster Ogie Diaz, Dennis talked about his experience when he was hospitalized due to COVID-19. During the interview, Dennis revealed that his total bill was PHP 1.1 million.
“Itong journey mo, paano mo naitawid in terms of paying the bills?” Ogie asked Dennis.
“Ang haemoperfusion kasi yun yung unang unang ginawa saakin para ma-survive ko yung covid-pneumonia. Yun yung pinaka-mahal na ginawa saakin kasi ang bawat session nun mga 1 thousand dollars. Mga 50,000 isa, siguro mga 47,000 isa.
Eh apat, eh di dun palang 200,000 na. Tapos yung mga antibiotics kong ginagamit. Yung antivirus na ginagamit… basta ang total ko umabot ako ng 1.1 million…” Dennis shared.
“Paano ma naitawid?” Ogie asked.
“The office of the President, kay Pres. Duterte malaki ang naitulong saakin dahil binigyan akong hospital guarantee… tapos some part of it nakakuha ako sa Philhealth ng almost 250,000.
Tapos maraming kaibigan ang nagbigay ng tulong saakin. Nagbigay ng pera… Kaya dun sa sarili kong pera siguro kulang kulang 300 lang ang nailabas ko, mga 300,000…” Dennis shared.
“May ipon ka ba that time?” Ogie asked Dennis.
“yung 300,000 ko ubos eh. 200 plus ubos. Yun lang ang pera ko nuon.” Dennis said.
Ogie later on asked Dennis is his children also helped him.
“Well ang ibinibilang ko nalang na tulong na ginawa ng lahat ng mga anak ko was the prayers that they had when I was in critical stage…” Dennis said.
