Colegio de San Juan de Letran are calling for help for one of its student-athletes.
Jerrick Balanza, a fourth-year Letranite, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is in need of funds for the operation.
Letran needs to raise PHP 500,000 for the operations.
“Supposedly eight-hundred thousand yan, kaya lang Letranista yung doktor at hindi na naningil ng doctor’s fee. Famous siya na neuro-surgeon sa St. Lukes,” said Letran athletics director Fr. Vic Calvo, OP.
For their part, Letran and the NCAA are also helping Balanza out.
