Heaven shared that she was at the locked-in taping for Bagong Umaga when she got the results. “I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what’s gonna happen… it felt so surreal,” she said. She added that the production was pause while the rest of the staff are also in hotel quarantine. 

The actress said her symptoms include low stamina, headache, lack of appetite, body pain, and difficulty in breathing. When her oxygen levels went down, Heaven said she was advised by her doctor to go to the hospital. 

“After consulting with my doctor and talking to my family, we have decided to go to the hospital. Thankfully, we found a hospital and ABS-CBN provided us with an ambulance,” she said. 

Heaven has yet to upload the second part of her vlog documenting her hospital stay but the actress said that is now a “COVID-19 survivor.”
