“Ang hirap kasi nang susunduin ka ng ambulansya sa bahay niyo, tapos pagtitinginan ka ng mga kapitbahay mo. Sinundo ka ng may naka-PPE. Alam na nila ‘yun. Pero huwag kayo mahiya, kasi hindi naman ito nakakahiyang sakit, e. Hindi natin gusto ‘to. Walang may gusto nito. Talagang kung tatamaan ka, tatamaan ka,” he said.

“Huwag niyo gawing biro ‘yung paglabas-labas. Kahit sa mall, kahit malalayo sila, huwag talaga. Kasi ako, alam ko ‘yung mga precautions na kailangan gawin — malayo ako sa mga tao, pero ito, tinamaan. Ang hirap. Doble ingat kayo talaga. Kung hindi niyo naman kailangan lumabas at mag-mall, huwag na talaga. Huwag na. Huwag niyo nang hintayin na maranasan niyo ‘yung nararasan dito ng mga pasyente,” he said.

In one portion of his Facebook stream, Solano showed his view of the emergency room. He was isolated, with plastic surrounding his bed area. At the time, he was 20th in line to be admitted to a room, saying it would likely take three days before he could be accommodated.

“It’s hard,” he said. “Mahirap, kasi mag-isa ka lang dito, so kailangan mo maging strong. Pero kaya. Laban lang ako… Mahirap ‘yung pagdadaanan. It’s a long process. Pero kaya ko. Alam ko sa sarili ko, kaya ko. I’m asking you guys [for] prayers.”

In a recent interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Falon, the actor was asked he felt pressured about the show's second season, he replied: "Because Season 1 was so widely loved, we did feel the pressure about whether or not Season 2 would be just as loved. However, our story has gotten more diverse, deeper with a very clear theme. So I don't know if I can say it will be as successful but what I can say is that it's just as well-made."

"That night, because director Hwang (Dong-hyuk) and I both won, it felt twice as surreal. Even now just by thinking about it, my heart is about to burst, it's hard to put into words. It was truly an amazing night. It was unimaginable," he remarked.
