It was a heartwarming moment when Jiro Manio came to the shop of Boss Toyo and decided to sell his Gawad Urian trophy.
The former child star said that he wished that he would be included with former celebrities who have received awards before.
“Boss, plano ko talaga, nu’ng napanood kita, sabi nu’ng utol ko na magtatayo ka ng museum. Naisip ko, sana mapabilang ako ron, sa mga dating artista na nakatanggap ng mga award,” Jiro explained.
Boss Toyo then said that he must not say “dating artista,” because he is still an actor for them and that they still give him a high respect.
“Wag mo sabihing dati kang artista… Artista ka pa rin sa paningin namin. Kung sa ibang tao, hindi ka na nila iniisip na artista, sa mga nakaabot sa ‘yo, mataas pa rin ang respeto namin sa ‘yo,” said Boss Toyo.
Jiro Manio was an acclaimed child actor who starred in many classic movies including “Magnifico” and “Anak.” He won a Gawad Urian Best Actor award at a very young age. He started acting at the age of seven in the film “Pamana” in 1999.
The former child actor was involved in a stabbing incident in Marikina City last year. The said prominent celebrity was detained in Marikina City Police Station after being arrested on January 17, 2020. The camp of the celebrity claimed that it was the wounded man who started the trouble.
KAMI then learned that the said news prompted Ai-Ai delas Alas to finally speak up about the events that transpired after she helped Jiro back in 2015. In the video, Ai-Ai revealed that she sent Jiro to rehab after the latter was seen in NAIA, “After po nun, ni-rehab ko po si Jiro dito sa Quezon City.” R
