On Friday, March 1, a concerned netizen named Jenny Sumalpong took to Facebook to share heartwarming photos of Detablan while he was seen carrying “Baby Aki” and was at the same time selling some banana cakes for P120 per loaf in the hopes of raising P1.6 million for the operation.
Sumalpong’s post swiftly went viral with over 132,000 shares as of writing.
Detablan’s wife, Jabee Imano Galindes, 34, told INQUIRER.net that they already have three children namely Anexi Jazz, Arkhin Jazz and Aquiro Jazz, ages 8, 4 and 8 months old respectively. The couple has been married for nine years.
Galindes is a stay-at-home parent, while her husband is a baker. She helps him in raising funds by selling printed shirts and by holding online raffles for a cause.
She also shared to INQUIRER.net that their second child Arkhin survived hydrocephalus in 2016, which made them believe that a miracle can happen again to their family.
