Malinis, a many-time national champion and winner of gold in the -72 kg Women’s category in both the 1993 Singapore and 1997 Jakarta SEA Games, now finds herself in a challenging battle for her health.

The judo community, as well as her friends and family, are reaching out to those who can help.

Willy Cruz Diño, a close friend and colleague at the Kaitagi Judo Club, has shared this heartfelt appeal on his social media, urging the public to contribute in any way they can.

“Financial assistance for her hospitalization is urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated. Support can be sent directly or through your local coaches/club,” he said.

“Those who are willing to assist may contact Sharon Kaybelle Diño or Rhow Xi Racquel Salinas for more details on how to send help. Let’s rally together to show our support for a true champion in her time of need.”
