Baron Geisler: “I’ve made a decision to help myself.”
“I feel great and…nakapag-move on na,” said Baron Geisler during his first live interview in The Buzz yesterday, January 13, after coming out from the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) house.
Baron, who was dubbed as the “Wild Child” in the second season of PBB Celebrity Edition, was meted a forced eviction from the Big Brother house because he displayed offensive behavior when he got drunk during their Christmas party.
Does he regret his actions inside the PBB house?
Baron answered, “Hindi naman kasi alam n’yo po, lalo na yung mga ‘the boys’ diyan, ‘Pare, rock and roll,’ marami naman po akong katulad dito sa Pilipinas, e. So feeling ko, maraming nakaka-relate sa akin and tingin ko, makakatulong din ako na maging inspirasyon para sa kanila. Ang dami diyan na mga ‘rock and roll.’”
With his behavior in the latter part of his stay inside the house, Baron admitted that his mother was the one who really got affected.
Baron apologetically said, “Yun lang ang pinaka-nakakalungkot kasi si Mommy, parang full support talaga. Siyempre, she wants the best for me kasi… E, I messed up so, ‘Mom, I’m sorry.’ Yun lang, sobrang na-disappoint lang siya.”
But the young actor clarified that he and his Mom are okay. “We’re okay. We’re great,” assured Baron.
The 25-year-old actor said that he was really aiming to become a Big Winner for his mother. He said, “Kasi pangarap ko talaga PBB para sa Mommy ko ‘yan, e, di ba? Kung manalo man ako, lahat yun [prizes] ibibigay ko para kay Mommy. Kasi marami rin siyang nagawa para sa akin, so gusto ko namang isauli sa kanya.”
CHANGING FOR THE BETTER. During the interview, Baron also showed his gratitude towards PBB because, according to him, it helped him understand himself better.
Baron stated that despite what happened, PBB somehow helped him be recognized again by the public. He said, “Para sa akin, ang PBB nakatulong na, ayun, makilala ako ng mga tao. Mas mahalin ako ng mga tao, na tanggapin nila ako kung sino ako.”
Aside from getting recognition, Baron also said that PBB made him realize his mistakes and his problem. “I think yung PBB nagbukas ng maraming pintuan para sa akin, para mas makilala ko ang sarili ko ‘ata, parang mas tinanggap ko na nga yung problema,” said Baron.
Pinoy Big Brother also reached out to him to get him into a rehabilitation program.
“Si Dr. Randy [Dellosa, resident psychiatrist of PBB], tutulungan ako ng mga tao sa PBB,” said Baron. “You know, mahal ko yung mga tao sa PBB. And yun si Dr. Randy, yung psychiatrist doon, he’s gonna help me. Tutulungan niya akong makapasok sa isang program, pero outside. Parang mga counseling lang, recovery program. Puwede kong i-mix dito yung work ko—kung may work ako tommorow, punta ako doon—para tuluy-tuloy na.
“At saka gusto ko this time, ayoko na ng puro promises. Gusto ko na panindigan na talaga para din sa akin, para sa Mommy ko, para sa kinabukasan ko, para rin kay utol, kay Donnie… Lahat ng sakripisyo nila para sa akin.”
What prompted him to accept the help of PBB?
“Siyempre, ginagawa ko ito dahil gusto ko. Dahil I’ve made a decision na to help myself. And kaya ko nagagawa ‘to dahil nandiyan sila Ate Anna, mga kapatid ko na nagmamahal sa akin, sila Tita Nenet, Mommy ko, at saka yung mga supporters dito, yung mga tao,” said Baron.
Baron asked this favor of his followers: “Ang gusto kong mangyari, subaybayan n’yo lang ang pagiging better ko. Kung minahal n’yo man ako sa Pinoy Big Brother, sa loob ng bahay, e, huwag n’yo sana ako kalimutan at mahalin n’yo pa rin ako.”
