Jose and the rest of the family were shocked by what happened since Mario has never been confined at a hospital prior to suffering a cardiac arrest.

Mario’s son is now asking the public to keep his father in their prayers so that he could fully recover.

“It’s been a difficult week, but we still have much to be grateful for. Papa suffered a heart attack last Monday and remains under critical care today, three days on. But he can now at least tell us, during the few times he’s given his phone while isolated, that he misses and wishes to be with us. I’ve never treasured a message so much after what Papa went through and is still hurdling.

“Papa’s never once been confined in my 32 years, so this experience has been overwhelming. But us family have kept each other anchored (love you Ma Cherie); our relatives too have been a solid source of strength (thank you Carl for helping align so much to save Papa’s life).

“The constant stream of messages and well wishes for Papa — from his friends in the industry and countless others he’s worked with or briefly encountered, and even kind strangers — they have been a heartwarming reminder of how loved he is. Sorry that I haven’t been able to reply right away to most of the messages; we’re hoping to share better, more encouraging news as Papa recovers.

“For now please keep him in your prayers. We claim that in the coming days we’ll have more to be grateful for, including having him back home,” Jose posted.
