Baron Geisler took to Facebook his defense, claiming that what happened was a mere “misunderstanding.”
Four hours before Ping Medina’s statement, Baron Geisler shared on his Facebook account, which seemingly pertains to an incident.
Baron wrote, “Good afternoon po direk. Sorry. Pero you and i both know na malaking misunderstanding po ang lahat. I asked you three times na direk may gagawin po ako then you just said gawin mo nalang sa eksena. Kung tinanong nyo po ako kung ano yun di sana naiwasan ang mga bagay na ito. You are our captain sa set. You can check the bts for proof kung bastos ako towards anyone. Wala po. May proof. But you were trying to pull off a Brillante Mendoza, bulong ka sa artista na samapalin mo para magulat or maganda reaction. I was slapped many times. So I thought… ahhh… so it’s ok pala to surprise my co-actors sa set. So low po of you to discredit my name. You are better than that po. Mahal kita. #HUGASKAMAY #PONTIUSPILATE #EPICFAIL”
Two hours after Ping made a statement on his Facebook account, Baron defended himself in another Facebook status. He said, “Hindi ako naapektohan sa paninira. Picture ni ping with da pakyu sign?? So low. Lalo na sa mga naniniwala agad. Inspect.. know the truth. Wag mag judge agad. Plastic na industria. Tara!!! Lawyer up guys!!!”
He also claimed that the director of the film gave him the liberty to do what he thought was best for the scene.
