Lucio ‘Bong’ Tan Jr., eldest son of taipan Lucio Tan of Philippine Airlines (PAL), was reportedly rushed to an undisclosed hospital after collapsing while playing basketball against Exile at Gatorade Hoops Center in Mandaluyong Saturday morning.
A source said the younger Tan was unconscious when brought in for emergency medical attention and still is as of this time.
Unconfirmed report named the hospital as Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan.
PAL was ahead 35-28 with 2:56 left in the second quarter when the game was halted as Bong Tan collapsed on the bench.
Tan Jr., only recently, was appointed president of PAL Holdings, parent firm of PAL, replacing Gilbert Santa Maria, who remains PAL president.
Calls and text messages made to Lawrence Chongson, who, along with Bong Tan, handled the University of the East Red Warriors in this season’s UAAP, were unanswered.
