Former First Lady Imelda Marcos recovers, scheduled to leave hospital on Thursday, says PBBM



President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said his mother, former first lady Imelda R. Marcos is continuously getting well and is scheduled to leave the hospital on Thursday.

“Pagaling na nang pagaling … she’s scheduled to come out on, I think, Thursday kasi matatapos – ang nangyari kagaya noong bulletin na inilabas namin, although she was feeling better already, wala na ‘yung lagnat,” President Marcos said on Wednesday.

“Pabawas na talaga ‘yung lagnat niya, by now wala na,” he added.

The President made the remarks when asked about the condition of his mother, who has been hospitalized due to slight pneumonia.

President Marcos said that although her mother is already  feeling better and the fever has fully subsided, the attending physicians decided to keep her in the hospital until she finishes her prescribed course of antibiotics.

He added that his mother is excited to return to her usual routine, which is a good sign for her condition.

“Alam niyo naman ‘yung mother ko. Pinakamahirap para sa kanya ‘yung walang ginagawa. Kaya’t medyo nandoon na tayo ngayon. So, as I said, that’s a good sign,” the President shared.

PBBM looks forward to seeing his mother again back on her feet and out of the hospital. | PND
