Initial police investigation showed a man identified as Zeus Doctolero was walking when Manio came from the opposite direction.

Manio allegedly attacked Doctolero and a fight ensued.

The former actor allegedly brought out a knife which came from the carinderia where he was working and stabbed the victim three times.

Manio on the other hand said the victim first hit him with a helmet.

The former actor won acting awards for his role in the movie Magnifico in 2004.

In June 2015, Manio was seen loitering at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 for days. 

Actress AiAi delas Alas helped Manio and had him undergo rehabilitation at a wellness facility. —KG, GMA News
