"So far, everything is good. Ito yung pinaka-right track ko ever. Inside my heart, wala akong kailangang i-prove sa tao."

He pointed out, "Hindi naman ako bibigyan ng ABS-CBN ng dalawang show kung mahirap akong katrabaho, di ba? Sila [his co-workers] na lang ang tanungin niyo, yung mga nasa set."

What inspired him to turn over a new leaf?

"Ako, kailangan ko na talagang magpatayo ng bahay or condo. Kasi na-realize ko...after Jay, dahil sa mga nangyaring issue, nawalan ako ng trabaho for six months, close to one year. Broke talaga ako nun. Sa buong buhay ko, first time ko na-broke. Nung nasunugan ako dati, may milyon pa ako noon, e. Pero ito wala talaga."

Baron then declared, "I can see my future. I'm gonna have a bright future."

NEW MANAGER. Baron's career used to be handled by Maryo de los Reyes but he transferred to Arnold Vegafria. The actor is thankful to his new manager for giving him the opportunity to get a fresh start for his career.

"[Sumugal] siya, e. Tsina-challenge niya yung ABS-CBN at buti, tinanggap ako. So now, I'm doing my part. Kumbaga new management, new life," he said.

How is his relationship with his former manager?

"Okay naman kami ni Direk Maryo. Hindi masakit yung paghihiwalay namin. Nag-uusap pa nga kami saka nag-congratulate ako sa kanya para sa film n'ya."

Direk Maryo recently helmed I'll Be There, starring KC Concepcion, Gabby Concepcion. and Jericho Rosales.

PENDING CASES. In 2009, GMA-7 actress Yasmien Kurdi filed an acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation case against her former Suspetsa co-star. When asked for an update regarding this case, Baron revealed that on July 21, he will have a preliminary hearing in Bocaue, Bulacan.

When asked regarding the ongoing sexual harassment case filed by Patrizha Martinez against Baron, he says, "I stick to my beliefs na nasa tama ako. For me, wala akong ginawang mali dun. Ang mali ko lang, wrong time at nagamit ang pagkalasing ko lang."
