PBA player Roider Cabrera remains unconscious nearly a month after collapsing inside the locker room

MANILA, Philippines – The family of Roider Cabrera is seeking the public’s prayers and donations as the Terrafirma Dyip 3×3 player continues to fight for his life at the intensive care unit (ICU) of The Medical City in Pasig.

Cabrera’s sister Rachaleen shared the unfortunate update on social media that Roider is still “in a vegetative state” nearly a month after collapsing inside the Ynares Sports Arena locker room following a PBA 3×3 match.

A vegetative state means that a person is showing no signs of awareness despite being awake, or having basic reflexes.

Since Cabrera’s hospitalization, Dyip 3×3 players have continuously dedicated their PBA 3×3 leg winnings for their teammate’s hospital bills, while Terrafirma management has promised “the best medical treatment and care possible” in a previous statement.

The public got their first update regarding the former Adamson stalwart’s situation last December 4, when PBA 3×3 broadcasters announced during Leg 4 that the 30-year-old Cabrera underwent a successful angioplasty, or the clearing of his coronary arteries.

The Dyip have since gone on to multiple playoffs in different legs, playing inspired basketball for their incapacitated teammate.

People may send their donations through the following channels listed in the Facebook post of Cabrera’s sister.
