Baron on harassment case: ‘Sana matapos na’

Baron Geisler says he is keeping his hopes high that the harassment case filed against him would soon be over, which the actor admits, is quite a burden to him.

“Kahit papaano, nakaka-torture,” he begins. “Kasi parang tingin sa ‘yo ng ibang tao masama. Hindi mo naman masisisi ang ibang tao if they treat it as if mali ka talaga.”

The actor emphasized that he has no power over other people’s opinions but he finds comfort in knowing that there are fans, who still believes in him.

In a previous interview, Baron told ABS-CBN.COM that he is not a bad guy, but simply misunderstood.

“But I’m super happy,” Baron shares. “I secretly checked a blog, nagulat ako, andami pa rin ang naniniwala sa akin. I don’t want to brag, pero overwhelming kasi para sa akin.”

He said that if there is a particular lesson he learned from the entire experience, it is setting boundaries to “strangers.”

“May mga kakilala ako na isang text lang, punta agad ako, sometimes hindi kami close,” he explains. “Para hindi na ako ma-misunderstood, I think I should set boundaries o maglagay ng konting wall pag di ko kilala. I’m an extrovert, eh. I like being myself,” he said.

Patrizha Martinez, daughter of Yayo Aguila and William Martinez, filed a harassment case against Baron, accusing him of sexually harassing her in a bar in Makati a couple of months ago. Baron denied the allegation and filed an unjust vexation case against Patrizha.

Meanwhile Baron is set to do two new movies after winning Best Actor for portraying a gay TV producer at the recently concluded Cinemalaya Film Festival.
