Senator Sherwin Gatchalian was brought to the hospital after he complained of dizziness in the middle of a budget hearing on Wednesday.
According to Ahna Mejia, Gatchalian’s staff, the senator was brought to a Makati City hospital after he felt dizzy during the hours-long budget hearing at the Senate.
A Radyo Inquirer 990 AM report quoted Mejia as saying it could be because Gatchalian lacked sleep and rest.
On Thursday night, Gatchalian said he has been discharged from the hospital.
He also thanked his well wishers and assures he would return to work “very soon.”
