Xander Ford reported missing by his talent agency


Former Hasht5 member Xander Ford was reported missing by his talent agency Star Image on Friday.

In a Facebook post, Star Image announced that Ford's appearances at the Higantes Festival in Angono, Rizal, and at a department store's opening in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, were cancelled because of his disappearance.

Ford was last seen at Sunny Brook 2 Subdivision, General Trias, Cavite, at midnight on Thursday.

In a post on Friday night, Star Image said a certain "Emz" is keeping Ford hidden at her "private place" in Paliparan, Cavite.

His talent agency said they are doing "all necessary legal actions" to find him and assured the public that all measures will be taken to apprehend the people behind his disappearance.

"The management also ensures that the persons responsible for his sudden disappearance will be apprehended. The family of Xander is also serious to file a case against the people behind this conspiracy," Star Image said.

According to Star Image, "Emz" may be charged with serious illegal detention and violation of Republic Act 9208 for "using Xander Ford to earn money from views for her Bigo Live Account."

"May this serve as a FINAL WARNING to the people who want to hide Xander from his Family and his management, you will surely face LEGAL implications," it said.

GMA News Online called Star Image on the phone but was told to refer to the statement posted on Facebook. —Rie Takumi/KBK/NB, GMA News
