"Tanging Ina" Ai Ai delas Alas posted on Tuesday a photo of a healthy-looking Jiro Manio, a former child actor who made headlines on June 30 after seeing him wandering around NAIA scavenging for food and living off the kindness of airport employees.
"Ok na ok sya buhay na buhay...Sana sa mga taong nagkakalat na patay sya tumigil na sila," said delas Alas in the caption.
("He's okay and alive... Hope those who spread rumors that he is dead would stop.)
According to ABS-CBN as reported by Coconuts Manila, Manio's brother Anjo also told DZMM on Monday that Jiro is "okay. Siguro medyo nagkaroon lang kami ng problema. Pero sana maging maayos po ang problema kung anuman po yung kinakaharap namin nagyon at ang kapatid ko, " he added.
(Okay. We just had a problem. But hopefully we can fix all the problems or whatever we are facing now.)
