Mark Cardona rushed to the hospital after trying to commit suicide

According to Cardona's sister Rowena, the basketball player is at the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University of Perpetual Help Hospital in Las Piñas after his vital signs started to stabilize.

"Ang huling nasabi lang po niya sa akin, 'Ate hindi ko na kaya.' Nagpapaalam siya... Nararamdaman ko na may balak siyang gawin sa sarili niya," Rowena said

Cardona was arrested after his partner Bianca Jackes complained of domestic violence.

"Isa iyon sa ikina-depress sa kapatid ko na nag-trigger sa kanya na gawin 'to sa sarili niya. Sarili naman niya ang sinaktan niya," Rowena said.

Meanwhile, a group in the Philippines is dedicated to addressing those who have suicidal tendencies.

The crisis hotlines of the Natasha Goulbourn Foundation aim to make those individuals feel that someone is ready to listen to them.
