Balanza humihiling ng tulong at dasal

Andrew Dimasalang - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines – Hindi pa rin makapa­niwala si Jerrick Balan­za na hindi na siya ma­kapaglalaro para sa Letran Knights sa natitirang bahagi ng NCAA Season 94 men’s basketball tournament.

Ito ay matapos ang brain tumor diagnosis sa kanyang temporal lobe kamakalawa na siyang ikinalungkot hindi lamang ng Letran kundi na rin ng buong NCAA community.

“It is with a heavy heart that I share with you this news: Recently, I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor and will have to undergo sur­gery as soon as possible,” ani Balanza. “This doubly saddens me because I will no longer be able to continue pla­ying for the Knights, this NCAA Season 94.”

Kamakalawa ay ibi­na­lita ni Letran athle­tic director at NCAA Ma­nagement Committee mem­­ber Fr. Vic Calvo ang naturang kalagayan ni Balanza matapos ang check-up sa neuro-surgeon at kinakailangan na aniya ng surgery sa lalong madaling panahon.

Sa katunayan, aabot sa­na sa P800,000 ang ha­laga ng magiging ope­rasyon ni Balanza, ngu­nit napababa ito sa P500,000 dahil isang oustanding alumnus ng Letran ang manganga­laga kay Balanza sa ka­tauhan ni Dr. Manuel Ma­riao.

Humihiling pa rin ng suporta ang Let­ran mula sa mga ka­samahan sa NCAA pa­ra matulu­ngan ang ma­tagumpay na ope­­rasyon ni Balanza.
