Kamakailan ay nananawagan ng tulong pinansyal ang anak niyang si Alex para sa kanyang kalagayan.
Sa isang Instagram post, sinabi ni Alex na ang 71-anyos na si Pen ay nasa ospital at nakatakdang sumailalim sa operasyon noon.
“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 cannot sit or stand up due to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). He is scheduled for a major spine surgery on Tuesday, July 19,” sabi ni Alex.
Idinagdag niya na dahil sa pandemya, ang kanyang ama ay halos walang trabaho sa mga nakaraang taon at naubos ang lahat ng kanyang naipon.
“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,” aniya pa.
“We humbly appeal for your charitable help and prayers as our family navigates through helping him get back on his feet — literally and figuratively. Maraming salamat.”
Si Medina ay may pitong anak kabilang ang mga aktor na sina Alex at Ping Medina.
