‘Si Jiro ang ayaw magbago, ginawa na ni Ai Ai lahat!’
NANG malamang sangkot si Jiro Manio sa umano’y kaso ng bigong pagpatay, his “surrogate mom” Ai Ai delas Alas could only wish na maging maayos na sana ang takbo ng buhay nito.
Sometime in 2015, hindi nagkait ng kanyang tulong si Ai Ai kay Jiro na nabalitang naglalaboy sa airport nang tila wala sa katinuan. Jiro then hoped to get reunited with his biological father.
Tinaymlayn ni Ai Ai ang mga ginawa niyang tulong kay Jiro, who she sent to a facility para i-address ang problema nito even paying up the P60K monthly bills. Dumating na rin sa point na dahil sa sobrang panghihinayang ni Ai Ai sa talent meron si Jiro gone to waste, she wanted the latter’s career revived.
Maging ang panggastos ng pamilya ni Jiro ay sinagot na rin ni Ai Ai.
Only did Ai Ai come to her senses noong “incoherent” pa rin si Jiro with the way he spoke. Napagtanto niya that the young actor wasn’t fully recovered.
Nariyang nabalitaan ni Ai Ai that while at the rehab facility ay hindi pa rin pala nilubayan ni Jiro ang kanyang bisyo nang tuluyan.
Nothing could be more depressing than seeing na ang taong tinulungan mong ilihis sa maling landas hasn’t really mended his ways. Bagkus, lumala pa.
But as the segment of Eat Bulaga goes, bawal judgmental.
May mga nakasaksi umano sa insidente na self-defense lang ang pinairal ni Jiro, far from a homicidal act as he was reported to have committed.
In fairness to Ai Ai, she could only do so much. Ayan na nga, she has long since given up on Jiro who she had treated like her own son.
Ai Ai did what she thought was best for Jiro. Hindi nga lang maganda ang ibinunga nu’n to a troubled child like Jiro whose personality type is as complex as the family he grew up in.
May hangganan din ang tulong, and Ai Ai seems to have reached the tipping point where her multiple acts of charity have proven to be an exercise in futility.
Nothing can still be enough. Kaya kung mismong ang may katawan na refuses to get a life, then he and only he should solely take the blame for it.
In the meantime, enough of Ai Ai’s record of timelined events ng kanyang kawanggawa as it doesn’t differ from acts of charity na kinukunan ng litrato for all the world to see.
