When Sylvia Sanchez and her husband got sick last year during the start of the nationwide lockdown, the Huwag Kang Mangamba actress said she harbored no ill feelings about the whole experience.“Actually, sa totoo lang, kahit nangyari sa amin yung nagka-COVID kaming mag-asawa. March 16 si Art nagkaroon tapos nadiscover namin na nahawa ako nung March 21. Honestly, wala akong kuwestiyon sa Diyos kung bakit nangyari sa akin yun. Wala akong pain or sakit kung bakit nangyari sa amin yun kasi ang kapalit nun mas naging close ang buong pamilya. May magandang kapalit yun. Nagkaroon ako ng takot yes para kay Chubby and kay Gela, kay Arjo, kay Ria na mahawa lalo na yung bunso. Kasi at that time walang puwedeng sumama na hindi COVID positive sa loob ng hospital. Natakot ako para sa bunso talaga. Suma total walang negative kahit ano na nangyari sa buhay ko last year kasi ang kapalit nun blessings,” she shared during the Huwag Kang Mangamba mediacon. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/4/8/fresh-scoops/exclusive-sylvia-sanchez-husband-finally-cleare-22493'>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Sylvia Sanchez, husband “finally cleared from pneumonia”</a>The veteran actress, who plays the role of a homeless woman named Barang in the new soap Huwag Kang Mangamba, said she chooses to just be thankful for incoming blessings since she recovered from contracting the virus.“Ang dami daming nangyaring magaganda sa buhay ko after nun so papaano ko kukuwestiyunan yung isang beses na nagka-COVID kami, thank God nalagpasan namin, kumpara doon sa binigay niya after?
