MANILA, Philippines – After actor Baron Geisler peed on co-star Ping Medina in the set of the film she directs, “Bubog” director Arlyn Dela Cruz advises filmmakers to rethink about getting Baron in their movies.
“To my fellow filmmakers, you may think you need Baron in your movies...but you don't...you really don't,” Arlyn said on her Facebook page.
Arlyn, who was saddened and enraged over Baron’s behavior in the film set, said she gave the former a chance to be casted on her film as he was one of the characters she has in mind. She said Baron also admitted he needed money as his mother was hospitalized and he promised to be sober during the shoot but broke it.
The director then lamented Baron’s uncalled for move, saying Ping does not deserve that.
“What you did on the set, for the film BUBOG is unacceptable and cannot be justified by any claim of being in character because I repeatedly explained to you and was clearly written on the script where your character is coming from and how I wanted it to be tackled, stressing that the idea is, power is felt, not expressed. To show true might, in subdued silence and suppressed emotions,” she wrote on her Facebook status.
“Ping Medina does not deserve what you did. No actor deserves that. No person deserves that," said Arlyn.
"You claim, you respect him and me? ....Define to me respect after what you did,” she added.
In a separate post, Arlyn said the film "Bubog" was supposed to be Baron’s break but he blew it. She asked for Baron’s healing.
Arlyn also responded to critics who said that she has the power to cut the scene. The director said she was only monitoring the shooting scene at a distance because of the limited space and added that she demonstrated to Baron what his character was.
“We cannot see what was happening inside, nag-rehearse kami. Makikita cable and shadows so play back ng scene ang desisyon because of limited space. We positioned ourselves sa gillid, left side,” the director explained.
Baron has apologized for the incident, saying it was a misunderstanding. However, he still defended himself, explaining Arlyn could have done something to prevent the incident.
Arlyn then reacted to Baron’s post, saying when you apologize, you do not make other excuses. She said Baron needs to be treated for alcoholism.
“Ownership is a virtue and you knew, I believe, it was even in your calculation that we all end up in this controversy. You wanted this....again-the attention, the headlines,” she said.
Meanwhile, Film Development Council of the Philippines chief Liza Diño also vouched for Ping, saying no actor deserves that. She said her council will look into the incident to make sure it won’t happen to any actor in the future.

“There are people who respect you and gave you all the openness to be what you said you really are...there are shades of that person... especially when you are not drunk. You need to be treated for alcoholism and aren't you taking too much of those anti-depressant pills?” she added.
