After the press conference of Eva Fonda yesterday afternoon, November 27, young actor Baron Geisler informed PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and The Buzz that a resolution about the sexual harassment case filed against him by Patricia Martinez, the daughter of celebrity couple Yayo Aguila and William Martinez, will be released that day.
The 26-year-old actor said, however, that he has no idea what the resolution would be and he still has to call his lawyer to inquire about it. "Hintayin na lang po natin kung ano ang decision nila," he said. (Click here to read related article.)
When PEP asked if he has already talked to the petitioner's family, he replied, "Wala pa po. Pero I would love to, you know, para lang maging civil or ano. Kasi, ayaw ko ng may kaaway o kagalit. Kasi, hindrance 'yan, e, para makapag-grow ako or makapag-move on ka. So, sana maayos po lahat, 'yon po ang pinagdarasal ko parati."
Talking about moving on, Baron explained what he earlier mentioned during the press conference about his newfound friends and his "renewed" life. He said that he recently joined his fellow celebrities in a Christian fellowship.
"May cell group kami," he started. "It will sound corny but may cell group kami. So, Bible study po iyon every Sunday."
He excitedly continued, "Ang galing kasi, you know, doon namin nare-realize na ang blessed-blessed natin, ang daming talents na ginawa sa atin ni Lord, we should use it nang tama. And, you know, I get to hang out with these people, great people. So, I'm blessed talaga to get to hang out with these people."
He related how the idea of joining other celebrities in this group came to his mind.
"Kasi, every Sunday po, tuwing nag-a-ASAP kami, lagi akong kinukulit niyan, ni PJ [Piolo Pascual], ‘Ano? Tara, sali ka na.' Siguro nakikita niyang disturbed na ako, ganun. Tapos biglang one morning, nalasing ako, sabi ko, ‘Bro, hindi ko na kaya ito. Sige na, kailangan ko na Siya.' Before that night, nagdadasal na ako, biglang parang binuhusan na lang ako ng mainit na tubig, sabi ko, ‘I need to change. What am I doing with my life?'
"Then, ngayon, may mga goals na ako—gusto kong magpatayo ng bahay para sa Mommy ko, kasi nga nasunugan kami. Gusto kong yumaman, gusto kong magpayaman, ang dami!"
PEP inquired about his drinking habits, which had led him to several troubles, including his bad behavior inside the Pinoy Big Brother house last year. (Click here to read related article.)
"I won't be hypocrite about it," he answered, "I still do drink at least twice or once a week, especially kapag walang work, pero controlled na. Like, if I say, ‘Apat na bote lang 'yan, brod,' apat na bote na lang 'yang iinumin ko, wala nang sosobra pa doon."
How about his plan to enter a rehabilitation program?
He smiled and said, "Hindi na, I'm more on with my friends na lang, with the Lord. 'Yong spiritual friends ko, sila na lang ang tumutulong sa akin."
