He also shares that while he had wanted to get tested at the RITM for quite some time now; however, he is currently not experiencing any symptoms.
He reassures the public that once he starts feeling any symptoms, he will go for a swab test immediately.
“I am willing to undergo the swab testing for the sake of my family and my country.” Senator Pacquiao affirmed.
