Baron Geisler admits admiration for KC Concepcion

Controversial actor Baron Geisler has revealed his admiration for actress-singer KC Concepcion.

Geisler said that he would like to work and do a project with the Megastar's first child.

"Isa po siya sa pina-pangarap kong maka-trabaho... Dream girl ko po siya (cause) she's very spiritual... (a) God-fearing person," Geisler said.

Geisler said that he already met Concepcion and they sometimes send messages through SMS but nothing is serious about it.

"Text-text 'hi hello' pero nothing deeper than that," he said.

When asked if he's planning to woo Concepcion, Geisler said: "Kung may pagkakataon kakaibiganin ko, at we will walk together with the Lord as friends."

Geisler is now busy promoting his upcoming film "Baler" with actress Anne Curtis and actor Jericho Rosales.

"Baler" is one of the official entries to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

Geisler is also thrilled to invite everyone to watch his newest television project entitled "Eva Fonda" with actress Cristine Reyes as Eva.

"Eva Fonda," will be aired starting December 1st as one of ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida shows.

He also shared that Star Cinema will release next year his movie "Jay," for which he bagged his Best Actor Award.

Yayo Aguila and family move on but still hope for good outcome on case against Baron Geisler

Puro trabaho ang inaasikaso ni Yayo Aguila kahit nga alam ng marami ang situwasyon nila ng asawa niyang si William Martinez na may kinalaman pa rin sa kasong Acts of Lasciviousness na isinampa nila laban kay Baron Geisler.

Ito ay may kinalaman sa nangyari noon sa anak nilang si Patrizha na ginawan diumano ng hindi maganda ni Baron.

"Tahimik lang naman kami habang hinihintay pa rin namin ang resolution," sabi pa ni Yayo. "Gusto lang naming klaruhin dahil ang dami-rami nang balitang kumakalat na kesyo lumabas na raw ang resolution.

"Na-dismiss na raw ang kaso, which is not yet true. Natatagalan nga. Hindi namin alam kung bakit. HinIhintay pa rin namin.

"Hopefully, maging okey na ang lahat."

Ipinagtapat ni Yayo sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), nang makapanayam namin siya—habang naghihintay ng pagsalang niya sa taping ng Shall We Dance? kahapon sa TV5 sa Novaliches, Quezon City—ang over-all impact sa anak niyang si Patrizha ng kabuuang kaso.

"Noong una, siyempre, super-affected siya. Hindi naman yun isang maliit na bagay lang na araw-araw, puwedeng mangyari, at hindi mo naman basta mapapalampas.

"Kaya nga nagsampa kami ng kaso, e. Pero, sa pagdaan ng mga araw, siyempre, humupa na rin ang tension and everything. Nagpapaka-busy na siya sa work. Kaka-graduate lang niya ng college, at lagi niyang kasama ang friends niya," kuwento pa ni Yayo.

Adult na kung tutuusin ang anak niya. Alam na raw nito kung saan lulugar, at kung ano ang mararamdaman, depende sa situwasyon.

"Basta kami, patiently, naghihintay kami sa kalalabasan ng kaso. May ipinaglalaban kami.

"We're hoping for a good outcome. At the same time, we have to move on," sabi pa ni Yayo.

May counter-charge nga sa kanila si Baron. Perjury naman ang kaso.

"Perjury against me, at doon din sa kaibigan ng anak ko. May statement siyempre ako, na hindi raw totoo. Mga ganoon," aniya pa.

Hindi ba siya nabubuwisit kung parang nababaligtad pa ang istorya laban sa kanila?

"Siyempre, kung ano ang sasabihin ni Baron at ikakatuwiran niya, yung makabubuti sa kanya. Right niya yun, e.

"It's a universal thing. Honestly, hindi naman ako puwedeng magalit, e.

"Kahit sino, right nila yun. Yun din lang ang sasabihin mo, inaakusahan ko, hindi ka guilty. Ganoon lang yun," sabi pa ni Yayo.

TORN. Pero, aware si Yayo na wala siyang power para sabihin sa mga tao na definitely, guilty nga si Baron sa kasong isinampa nila laban dito.

"Kaya nga may hustisya. Para roon nga ma-prove, at maimbestigahan nga kung ano ang totoong nangyari.

"Hindi ako nagagalit, pero alam mo, hindi ko puwedeng sabihing hindi ako nagagalit, pero nagngingitngit ako.

"Pero, wala naman akong magagawa. At the same time, ang laki ng panghihinayang ko. Kasi, open book naman sa mga tao kung gaano kami naging close ni Baron," seryosong nasabi pa ni Yayo.

Parang anak na nga raw niya ang turing niya rito noong nasa Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition pa sila noon.

"Maski ang family ko, alam nila kung gaano ako ka-close sa kanya," pagtatapat pa ni Yayo.

"I really, really treasure the friendship. But, again, something happened. It involves my family, 'tapos, anak ko pa. Isipin mo na lang kung ano ang kinalalagyan ko," dugtong pa niya.

Marami na nga raw nakakaabot sa kanya na sinasabi ng iba tungkol kay Baron, kasama na roon ang sinasabing atraso rin daw ni Baron kay Emilio Garcia noon, na may kinalaman din sa anak nitong huli.

"Sa akin naman, problema ni Baron yun sa iba. Pero, at the back of my mind, bakit sa anak ko pa niya ginawa yun, di ba? Mahirap talaga ang situwasyon ko," tuluy-tuloy na nasabi pa ni Yayo.

PUBLIC APOLOGY WILL DO. Kung anuman daw, nasabi ni Yayo na handa silang tumanggap ng paumanhin o public apology kay Baron kung gagawin nga niya yun.

"Pero, sabi nga ni William, hindi lang ganoon kadali yun. Siya raw ang gagawa pa ng paraan para matiyak lang na masasamahan niya si Baron sa pagpapa-rehab nito sa pagka-alcoholic, nang sa gayon, maiwasan nang mangyari pa uli sa ibang kabataang babae ang nangyari sa aming anak," nasabi na lang ni Yayo.

Baron Geisler: 'I wasn't detained'

Controversial actor Baron Geisler has denied reports that he was detained in Venice early this month.

In a recent interview at Star Magic’s 2009 Catalogue Launch, Geisler deemed the reports as “foul” since he was in Europe with the cast of “Jay” when the issue surfaced.

“Jay,” an independent motion picture, was an entry in the Venice International Film Festival.

Although the film didn’t garner awards in the competition, Geisler was still happy as they have received a lot of positive feedback.

Geisler explained that they were set to be back in the country by Tuesday, September 2. However, he said that it was reset to Sunday, September 7 because they missed their original scheduled flight.

"There's no truth that I was detained. I just had a delayed flight because we missed our September 2 flight. That's why I arrived late," he said.

Geisler said that he cannot believe how his delayed flight to Manila would give birth to rumors that he was being detained in Venice.

"I just learned while I was in Venice that there's an issue here (in Manila) that I was inside the detention cell," he said.

Aside from the rumor, Geisler said that his delayed return to the country caused him another problem since he lost a big project with veteran actress Maricel Soriano.

He said that he was scheduled to work for the movie “Tenement” with Soriano on the first week of September. Since he failed to appear on time, his role was given to actor Eric Fructoso.

In the meantime, Geisler is finishing his shoot of “Baler,” a forthcoming film with Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis. He is also set to be seen on “Eva Fonda,” an upcoming television series with sexy actress Cristine Reyes.

Baron snatched headlines when a sexual harassment case was filed against him by Patricia Martinez, daughter of celebrity couple William Martinez and Yayo Aguila.

DOJ set to decide on acts of lasciviousness charge vs actor Geisler

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to render a decision on the charge of acts of lasciviousness filed against movie and television actor Baron Geisler.

According to State Prosecutor Amando Felipe, fiscal-on-case, anytime this week his office will issue a decision regarding the criminal complaint filed by Patricia Martinez, the daughter of couple William Martinez and Yayo Aguila against Geisler.

Felipe said that her decision will be dependent on the sworn-affidavit and counter-affidavit of the complainant and the respondent, respectively.

The resolution will be submitted to Chief State Prosecutor Jovencito Zuno for approval.

The daughter of the Martinez couple filed a complaint with the PNP-CIDG (Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation Detection Group) after the actor allegedly touched the private parts of her body in a bar in Makati City several months ago.

Geisler was reportedly drunk when he touched the breast of the complainant and whispered in her ear which he nearly bit.

The actor vehemently denied the allegations of Patricia. He also filed counter charges against the complainant.

Making Us Proud

After the disastrous showing of the Philippine delegation at the Beijing Olympics, we’ve got some good news to share. Filipino artists continue to make the country proud with their achievements.

In this week’s issue, Reel Times proudly presents the latest batch of artists who are reaping the harvest for the good work they have done in their respective fields: actors Sid Lucero and Baron Geisler, filmmakers Lav Diaz and Francis Pasion, and young singer Tippy dos Santos.

Dionne reacts against all the unfair accusations against Baron

Amidst all the issues and intrigues surrounding Baron Geisler lately, one of his biggest pillars of strength is Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 alumni Dionne Monsanto, whom he's been steadily dating for several months now. Currently a full-time student at the University of the Philippines, Dionne finally speaks up about all the issues being thrown at Baron.

"I feel very sad, not just for Baron, but for his family and his very close friends as well. Right now I'm very close with his mom, who trusts me very much and I appreciate that trust. It's really sad because people can be very judgmental. "What they see on TV, that's what they think is the truth. Its disappointing to know that people just judge based on what's shown on TV and not really make an effort to know not just what the truth is, but to know more about it," she admits.

Dionne admits that Baron has been very mature and handling things well, choosing to focus more on his career than getting bogged down by the accusations against him. "He's taking it pretty well I have to say. His family supports him fully, most especially his mom. His mom is one great mom. She's a strong woman. She's very positive and good-natured," she adds.

Although she has not had the opportunity to accompany him to court because of her daily school schedule, Dionne says Baron knows she'll show her support any way she could. "I'm happy to be by his side during all these controversies because he says that I'm a good influence in his life right now. He says na when he's with me, he doesn't drink or think of doing things like that.

"He doesn't drink as much anymore. He still drinks but that's okay because I also think that when you try to get over a vice, you have to do it gradually. And I believe that he's doing a good job," she stresses. Although Dionne would rather steer clear of the spotlight when it comes to commenting on the actor’s harassment case, the former Lobo actress shares that the incident has not tested, but in fact strengthened their relationship.

"Kasi for me, above everything else, we're friends. And when a friend does something, you're not supposed to judge him. You're supposed to just be there and give him advice. You don't cease to become someone's friend just because he may or may not have done something wrong," she insists.

Dionne also trusts Baron this instance because she knows she understands him more than anybody else. "For me, he told me early on, in one of our talks, na I'm not like any other woman and I am special to him. Kaya when I heard what about what happened that night, I wasn't affected. I really didn't believe it," she concludes.

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.
