Former President Joseph Estrada's COVID pneumonia has "worsened," prompting the need for a mechanical ventilator, his eldest son said Tuesday.
The 83-year-old Estrada, who was placed under intensive care late Sunday, needed a mechanical ventilator due to the "resulting increase in oxygen requirement," said former senator Jinggoy Estrada.
"Yesterday, my father’s condition suffered a setback as his pneumonia worsened," the younger Estrada said.
"My father has always been a fighter and I hope that with the help of your prayers he will win this battle," he added.
