Xander Ford posts videos on Facebook, says he isn't missing and just wants to rest
After his talent management reported Xander Ford missing on Facebook Friday, the former Hash5 member uploaded two videos on himself saying he wasn’t missing, and that he was just resting.
In the first video published on the @XanderForOfficial page, Ford said he wasn't kidnapped by the certain "Emz" that his talent agency mentioned in its Friday "missing person" post.
"Hindi po ako pinilit ng Ate Emz na tumira dito sa kanila. Kusa po akong pumunta. Nagulat na lang si Ate Emz na narito ako," he said.
“Actually ngayon, nagpapahinga lang ako ngayon. Pagod na pagod po ako,” he begins in the second video.
In the 1:15 minute-video, Ford said his siblings actually know of his whereabouts, and that he really just wanted to rest and not think of work for a few months. “Parang may sakit na rin po ako pero okay lang po ako. Hindi po ako nawawala,” he continued.
On Friday, Star Image talent agency explained his appearances at the Higantes Festival and at a department store in Sta. Cruz Laguna were cancelled because of his disappreance.
The talent agency also said a certain “Emz” is keeping Ford at her “private place” in Cavite.

GMA News Online got in touch with Star Image immediately after the posting, but was told to refer to the statement posted on Facebook.
The "missing person" announcement was also posted on the @XanderFordOfficial page late Friday night.
But a minute later after it was posted, a straightforward status update was published: "Nagtatago ako, di niyo ako makikita."
A few more minutes later, Xander Ford published five photos of himself with the caption: At the moment ito. Hindi ako kinidnap, kusa akong sumama kasi napapagod na ko."
