Jiro Manio, a former child actor known for his award-winning role in *Magnifico*, has been out of the public eye for some time. He faced significant personal struggles, including substance abuse, which led him to spend time in rehabilitation. Today, Jiro is focused on maintaining his recovery and managing his health. While he occasionally receives offers to return to showbiz, his doctors have advised against it due to the potential stress that could affect his well-being. He is currently living a quieter life, volunteering in a rehabilitation center, and staying away from the limelight to focus on his full recovery【64†source】【65†source】. 

In a recent appearance on *Pinoy Pawnstars*, he even sold his Gawad Urian trophy, which highlights how his life has shifted from his days as a prominent actor【66†source】. For now, Jiro remains focused on his healing and has no immediate plans to return to the entertainment industry.
