Jericho Rosales’ brother, Jeremiah Rosales, issues an apology to his family after reportedly relapsing into substance use and leaving home without informing them. In interviews that followed his disappearance, Jeremiah says he isolated himself for more than a month, explaining that he did so for what he describes as the betterment of his family despite the difficulty of dealing with his struggles. He also addresses concerns raised during his absence, including reports that he had been missing. Jeremiah, in a YouTube vlog interview with journalist Julius Babao on Tuesday, Aug. 4, discusses his reasons for stepping away and acknowledges the impact of his actions on his wife and children. He expresses remorse for worrying his family and says he plans to make changes moving forward. Other reporting similarly describes Jeremiah’s apology and his gratitude for continued support. The accounts are consistent that the apology follows a period in which he had relapsed and had not been in regular contact with his family after leaving home in June.
