COVID survivor beauty queen umatras na sa Miss U PH: My body is not cooperating
TULUYAN nang umatras ang COVID-19 survivor na si Maria Isabela Galeria sa 2020 Miss Universe Philippines pageant.
Si Maria Isabela ang representative ng Sorsogon sa Miss Universe PH na magaganap sa Oct. 25 at mapapanood sa GMA 7.
Ibinahagi ng beauty queen sa kanyang Instagram account ang dahilan kung bakit nagdesisyon na siyang mag-withdraw sa pageant kasabay ng pagpapasalamat sa lahat ng nagdarasal para sa kanyang health condition.
“As you may all know, I tested positive for COVID19.
“I started to develop signs and symptoms on September 27, 2020, starting with nasal congestion and loss of sense of taste/smell. I occasionally felt like there was something heavy on my chest.
“Fortunately, it was bearable and didn’t progress to a more severe level of DOB (Difficulty of Breathing). I then started to manifest rashes accompanied by extreme itchiness and dry skin.
“I woke up last October 3 with red, itchy, and teary eyes. I was under a handful of medications for more than two weeks to manage my symptoms,” simulang pahayag ng dalaga sa kanyang IG page.
“Following the 14-day quarantine, I was supposed to be released on October 8. As per protocol, I needed to be asymptomatic for three days before discharge,” kuwento pa ni Isabela.
Ayon sa dalaga na-clear na naman siya ng mga doktor sa COVID-19 pati na ang kanyang ama na nag-positive rin sa virus last week. Pero aniya, wala pa talaga sa kondisyon ang katawan niya para muling sumabak sa pageant.
“Unfortunately, I was still manifesting some symptoms. Last October 11, DOH declared my dad and me as COVID survivors. Praise be to God!” aniya pa sa caption ng kanyanv IG post.
“I’m forever grateful to each of you who invested so much time and effort in helping me through this journey; however, even with a strong will to fight, my body is not well conditioned yet.
“With a heavy heart, I believe now is not the right time to join the pageant.
“I still feel tired, and I don’t think my body will allow me to participate in the activities of Miss Universe Philippines,” mensahe pa ng beauty queen.
Patuloy pa niya, “I’ve thought hard and cried for so many nights about this. I have the willpower, but my body is not cooperating.”
“I’m praying for your utmost understanding,” saad pa ni Isabela.
