Claire dela Fuente waited in a tent outside hospital days before death

Claire dela Fuente was forced to stay in a tent outside a hospital in Las Piñas while waiting to be admitted, her son Gigo de Guzman said.

“She was diagnosed last week along with myself but I [am] asymptomatic while she showed mild symptoms, which is why she was recommended to go to the hospital and to be monitored,” Gigo said.

“Everything seemed fine and she seemed OK until last night when her anxiety got the best of her. We were told that her heart gave in this morning and they tried to revive her but there was nothing they could do,” he continued.

Gigo said that the veteran singed wasn’t exactly confined in a hospital the whole time she was fighting COVID-19.

“Actually, she wasn’t confined completely. She was actually staying in a tent outside Las Piñas Doctors Hospital waiting to be admitted,” Gigo revealed.

“Doon po siya naka-stay. It wasn’t until yesterday that she was transferred to Pope John Paul II hospital in Las Piñas as well. So that [in] the ER of that hospital, that’s where she passed away” he added.

Claire dela Fuente’s son said he did not know how long the singer stayed at the tent but he said her mother went to Las Piñas Doctors Hospital on Saturday.

“Basta Saturday po siya pumunta sa tent sa Las Piñas Doctors Hospital and pagdating po ng yesterday lang po siya trinansfer sa Pope John Paul,” he said.

Gigo said a member of their staff who is going outside to buy essentials could have infected them because neither he nor Claire dela Fuente has gone out.

“‘Di po namin alam kung sino, dahil siyempre yung iba po sa kanila talagang kailangan lumabas para bumili ng kung ano po. ‘Yun lang po eh, kasi hindi po kami lumalabas ng bahay recently,” he said.

Both Gigo and Claire dela Fuente tested positive for COVID-19 last Friday after his mom showed symptoms.

“Ako po ok lang po ako asymptomatic po ako. ‘Yung nanay ko po, may sipon, ubo, at konting sinat. Sabi ko ‘Ma, pa-test ka na just in case, kailangan natin malaman.’ It confirmed our worst fears,'” he said.
