MANILA, Philippines — Jeremiah "Nuki" Rosales, the younger brother of actor Jericho Rosales, has been located after going into hiding.

Earlier this week Jeremiah's wife Jhen Go sought help from the public to look for her husband who had departed a Rizal barangay last week on his motorcycle but hasn't been seen since.

A report by news outlet Bandera mentioned Jhen noting Jeremiah returning to "old habits" involving drugs and the family, including Jericho, had planned to admit him into a rehabilitation center.

The day institutional staff were supposed to pick Jeremiah up was the day he was last seen.

Jericho's official Facebook page posted last June 26 a statement from the actor indicating that his brother wasn't missing anymore.

"Hello everyone. Thank you for your concern. Jeremiah, my brother, is not missing. He is safe and is with our family in the province. God bless you all," the statement read.

Jhen — who has since locked her Facebook profile — also spoke with Pep.ph confirming that the brothers had communicated and Jeremiah had gone to Bicol in order to avoid rehabilitation.

Apparently Jeremiah had been admitted before in a private center in Pasig City, with Jericho paying the monthly fee. However, Jeremiah was let out before completing the one-year program after convincing the family he'd recovered.

"Parang nadismaya rin si Kuya Jing (Jericho) kasi makuha o hindi si Jeremiah, bayad ang rehab staff dahil galing pa sila sa Batangas. Nadismaya siya kasi puwedeng-puwedeng habulin ng rehab staff dito sa loob ng subdivision," Jhen said, though she recalled her husband being physical when he was admitted before.

"Para sa kanya rin naman yung mga ginagawa namin. Para matigil na yung bisyo niya, umayos ang behavior niya," she ended. "Huwag niyang isipin na pinagtutulungan namin siya ng pamilya niya, ng mga anak niya."

Jeremiah is a former actor who starred with his older brother in the films "Baler" and "Alagwa." Two of Jeremiah and Jhen's children are also actors, including VMX actress Liana Rosales.
