Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel insisted that he did not break the quarantine
protocol by visiting Makati Medical Center (MMC) with his spouse while waiting
for the results of his test for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
In an interview over ABS-CBN’s
news channel ANC, Senator Pimentel said “nobody had imposed” a quarantine on
him.
“But to cooperate
with the enhanced community quarantine, hindi rin naman po ako lumalabas. With
or without quarantine hindi naman po ako lakwatsero. I’m a homebody. Natural po
sa akin just to stay at home,” he said.

The senator said he
has been restricting his movements after the Senate ended its session on March
11. Several senators had
gone into self-quarantine afterwards after a visitor to the Senate building tested
positive for the novel coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19.
“There’s no real
official count because when the official session ended March 11, I limited
already all my movements. Parang quarantine na rin po ‘yun diba? Only essential
movements,” he said.
Pimentel announced Wednesday
(March 25) he tested positive for COVID-19, while he was along with his wife in
the Makati Medical Center (MMC), who was set to give birth via cesarean
section.
MMC has denounced the
senator’s visit to the hospital as “irresponsible and reckless” because he was
already tested for COVID-19 on March 20.
