Former actress Josephine Manuel, who gained popularity during the ’80s, was declared missing.
According to her sister, Vilma Catama, the former actress was last seen wandering along the streets of EDSA together with her belongings.
Vilma expressed concern as she believed that her sister was already having mental health problems.
She narrated that her sister was talking to herself sometimes and preferred to live in the streets.
Meanwhile, former actress Liz Alindogan couldn’t believe that Josephine was already homeless.
Liz even admitted that Josephine worked for her as a housemaid and had already noticed her mental condition.
“Inoobserbahan ko siya. Naglalaba siya tuwing madaling-araw, may kinakausap siyang mag-isa. Nag-iiba siya,” Liz said.
“Minsan matino siya. Tahimik, nakangiti, parang bata. Kilos-bata,” she added.
“Matagal-tagal siya sa akin hanggang sa makita ko na may kinakausap siya sa grotto. Natatakot ako dahil baka mamaya, baka magwala siya,” she also said.
After several months, Josephine resigned as a housemaid to build a small business.
As of writing, Josephine was still nowhere to be found and fans were still hoping that they could still save the former actress like what some groups did to Brandy Ayala, who’s now recovering from her mental health problems.
