Batangas Vice Gov. Mark Leviste gave an update on Kris Aquino and her health, saying she postponed her scheduled hospital confinement in Los Angeles due to COVID-19 alerts in the medical facilities.

“She’s still coping with the treatments. She postponed her confinement at UCLA hospital,” the politician said of the Queen of All Media during the opening event of Barako Fest 2024 on Thursday, March 14.

“While I was still there, nagkaroon ng COVID alert sa mga medical facilities (there were COVID alerts in the medical facilities) that’s why I decided to go home first….

But anytime that she needs me to be in Los Angeles, of course I’ll give it my utmost priority,” he assured.

Leviste underscored that while attending to his responsibilities as a public servant is also his priority, he won’t hesitate to immediately fly to Los Angeles should Aquino need him.

He added that he is planning to return to the US after the Holy Week.
