Former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada is now on a mchanical ventilator after his pneumonia has worsened, as said by his son, former senator Jinggoy Estrada. Erap was tested positive for COVID-19.
The decision to put the former President on a ventilator is due to the increase in oxygen requirement.
On Facebook, Jinggoy shared the following:
“MEDICAL BULLETIN OF FMR. PRES. JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA:
Yesterday, my father’s condition suffered a setback as his pneumonia worsened.
Because of this and the resulting increase in oxygen requirement, his doctors decided to place him on mechanical ventilation.
This was done to improve oxygen delivery as well as to prevent the tiring of his respiratory mechanism.
My father has always been a fighter and I hope that with the help of your prayers he will win this battle.
Pls continue praying for his immediate recovery.
Thank you very much.”
