Baron Geisler a 'gentleman' says ex-Wowowee host

At least one female has publicly come out in defense of actor Baron Geisler in the ongoing acts of lasciviousness case against him. She's former "Wowowee" host Janna Dominguez who swears that Geisler is a "gentleman".

Dominguez showed up on Wednesday at the Department of Justice preliminary investigation to attest to Geisler's being a "gentleman". She said that she's been a friend of the actor for a long time and can vouch for his proper treatment of women.

The plaintiff in the case, however, Patrizhia Martinez--daughter of actor William Martinez and actress Yayo Aguila--maintains that Geisler displayed no gentlemanly behavior toward her and even made lewd, sexual advances.

Accompanied by her lawyer Salvador Panelo, Martinez filed a counter-affidavit to the "unjust vexation" case filed against her by Geisler. The actor earlier filed the case to stop what he described as the baseless accusations of Martinez.

In her affidavit, Martinez maintained that the actor's complaint is without merit and stood firm on the acts of lasciviousness case she filed against Geisler.

Panelo also pointed out during the DOJ hearing that Geisler himself admitted to "practicing" his role as a sexual pervert (in his upcoming film, "Torotot") on Patrizhia.

The lawyer also told the DOJ that the actor was evicted from the Celebrity Edition of the Pinoy Big Brother reality TV show precisely because of sexual advances he made against his female housemates.
