Ate Gay diagnosed with pneumonia, asks for prayers

Ate Gay, whose real names is Gil Morales, has been diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted in the hospital since March 25.

The comedian’s condition was confirmed to GMA News Online by Gil’s younger sister Mary Ann Morales through an online interview.

According to her, Ate Gay was diagnosed with pneumonia that weakened his immune system but is now doing better.

“Medyo nagre-react naman ang mga gamot sa katawan niya as of now. May development naman. Sana po tuloy tuloy,” she said.

(The medicine are reacting to his body as of now. There are developments. I hope this will continue.)

“Kahit papaano nakakausap na siya, medyo lumalakas na po (ta’s) nakakatayo,” she added.

(We can now speak with him, he is slowly getting stronger and is now able to stand up.)

In the photo posted on Ate Gay’s Facebook account on Sunday, he is seen teary-eyed while lying on what looks like a hospital bed. He wrote three praying hand emojis and hearts.

Ate Gay’s family is asking for prayers from the artist’s fans for his fast and continuous recovery. -- BAP, GMA News
