Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador motivated Jiro Manio, who recently went viral on social media after selling his Gawad Urian Best Actor trophy for only P75,000.
In his post, Rendon said there was no problem if Jiro sold his trophy, saying it would be more important for the former actor to learn from his past mistakes.
“Wala naman halaga ‘yung trophy mo kung wala kang natutunan sa proseso,” said Rendon. “Baguhin mo sarili mo para magkaroon ng halaga ang buhay mo. Ang totoong tagumpay ay wala sa php75k na trophy,”
He also added that Jiro’s situation must become a lesson for Filipino parents to guide their children properly.
According to him, if Jiro had been guided properly, his situation would have been better.
“Hindi na guide ng tama ang batang ito. Kaya kayong mga magulang huwag ninyo bobolahin ang mga anak ninyo,” he stated.
It can be recalled that Jiro used the money he received from Pinoy Pawnstars to celebrate the Holidays with his family.
He was also not planning to return to showbiz, saying that he preferred to continue his job as a facilitator in the rehabilitation facility he was in.
Jiro was also looking for a job where he can be comfortable, far from the stressful life of an actor.
