Pen Medina nasaid sa pandemya, nanghihingi ng tulong para sa kanyang operasyon

Maraming nag-repost sa panawagan ng actor na si Alex Medina para sa kanyang amang si Pen Medina na kasalukuyang nasa hospital at kailangang operahan.

“A CALL FOR CHARITY FOR PEN MEDINA,” ang title ng post ni Alex.

“To his friends, relatives, and co-workers:

“Our dad, 71-year-old actor

“Pen Medina, has been in the hospital for three weeks now and currently cannot sit or stand up due to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). He is scheduled for a major spine surgery on Tuesday, July 19.

“Due to the pandemic, our dad scarcely had any work, which siphoned his savings over the past two years. We are trying to help him as best as we can but it will be a long road to sufficient recovery for him.

“We humbly appeal for your charitable help and prayers as our family navigates through helping him get back on his feet - literally and figuratively.”

Mahusay na actor si Pen Medina pero nung umpisa ng pandemya ay naging kontrobersyal dahil very vocal sa paniniwalang hindi epektibo ang bakuna para sa COVID-19.

In fact, kasama ang mahusay na actor sa nakisali noong 2021 sa anti-COVID vax rally sa Quezon City.

Nagprotesta sila noon kasama ang ibang seniors na walang face mask at face shield.

Sana nga ay matulungan ang aktor ng mga katrabaho niyang walang problema sa pera.
