According to her, her son is said to be a hero because even though it is dangerous, Kim chose to serve as the frontliner at the Bureau of Quarantine.
Here’s her message:
“Magandang alaala ang iniwan mo anak lalo na sa mga Covid Victim na pinasaya mo inawitan mo.
Sabi mo bumilis ang kanilang paggaling kasi nawawala ang kanilang lungkot hindi mo lang alam ang takot ni mama pero dahil gusto mo nga mag work bilang Frontliner pumayag na si mama.
