MANILA — \u201cFrom this day on, ako na ang tatayong mommy niya,\u201d<\/p>\n

(Starting today, I will be his mother.)<\/p>\n

This is what Ai ai delas Alas told\u00a0told GMA-7\u2019s news magazine program \u201cKapuso Mo, Jessica Soho\u201d aired Sunday.<\/p>\n

Delas Alas was referring to former child actor Jiro Manio who was found roaming at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 begging for food last week.<\/p>\n

Through an Instagram post, the comedian asked anyone who could inform her about Manio’s whereabouts, expressing her interest to help the former actor.<\/p>\n

Delas Alas together with\u00a0\u201cKapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,\u201d visited Manio at his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cGusto ko muna siyang makita, kung ano yung reaction niya towards me. Kasi baka hindi na rin niya ako kilala. Hindi natin alam, ‘di ba? I think kulang siya sa love kasi ‘yung mother niya, maaga ring nawala,” Ai Ai told \u201cKapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.”<\/p>\n

(I want to see him first, I want to know his reaction towards me. He might not know me anymore, we don’t know. I think she lacks the love of his mother who passed away.)<\/p>\n

Joylene Santos, Manio’s mother died when he was 15 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi sila nagkasama, so naiintindihan mo sa’n ‘yung pinanggagalingan niya. Kung bakit siya nag-drugs, bakit ganun ‘yung pananaw niya sa buhay.\u201d<\/p>\n

(They have not been together that’s why I understand where he is coming from, why he did drugs and why he has those kind of outlook in life.)<\/p>\n

After the meeting, Delas Alas said that she will continue helping Manio.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay naman siya. Naiiyak lang ako kasi\u2026 sinabi ko sa kanya na anak ko siya and hindi ko siya puwedeng pabayaan,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

(He’s okay. I just feel like crying because… I told him that he’s my son and I will always be there for him.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
