The Filipino actor Jiro Manio sells his Gawad Urian Best Actor Award to Boss Toyo of Pinoy Pawnstars.
Jiro Manio’s career in Philippine cinema began at the age of seven when he debuted in the film “Pamana” in 1999. His undeniable skill took him to popularity, and he continued to shine with highly praised performances, gaining him the prestigious Gawad Urian Best Actor award at an extremely young age.
Unfortunately, he indulged in illegal substances, which brought him to personal challenges. He underwent rehabilitation for drug addiction in 2011 and was involved in various issues and controversies.
On January 17, 2020, Jiro was arrested and detained at the Marikina City Police Station after he was involved in a stabbing incident. Currently, he is working as a volunteer counselor at DOH Bataan Rehabilitation.
