“The Professional Artist Managers, Inc. (PAMI) received a formal complaint from Ping Medina regarding the incident with Baron Geisler. We are calling for an emergency meeting to act on his complaint,” PAMI President June Rufino said in a statement, as quoted by ABS-CBN News Online.
Lolit, a member of PAMI, wrote on her Fri, Dec 2 column: “Panahon na siguro para maturuan ng leksyon si Baron dahil foul na ang ginawa niya.”
(Maybe it’s time that we teach Baron a lesson because what he did is foul.)
Baron’s manager, Arnold Vegafria of ALV Talent Circuit, is also part of PAMI. But in a statement, Arnold said he will “abide by the majority decision” regarding the issue.
His complete statement reads:
On behalf of the other members of the PAMI, I gladly acknowledge Ping Medina’s formal complaint against my talent, Baron Geisler.”
“While we acknowledge Baron’s behavioral lapses, we do not fully agree with the popular decision that he is the only one who is at fault regarding the controversial incident.”
“We will be discussing this issue over the weekend, and I can assure everyone that we will abide by the majority decision.
“Being Baron’s manager, I will abstain from the voting to ensure fairness and impartiality, and will welcome any sanctions that the PAMI will formally lodge against him.”
Baron apologized to Ping in a long Facebook post on Wed, Nov 30.

Meanwhile, in a Facebook post on Thu, Dec 1, Bubog director Arlyn Dela Cruz wrote Ping and Baron are no longer part of her movie.
“Ping needs to rest. Not just rest. Trauma has no time frame. Pain is not always on the surface,” she wrote.
As for Baron, she said: “You can now concentrate on promoting your film-documentary and your book. You cannot use this project anymore. You are forgiven. You need help and I hope you get it soon. The next “stunt” you might do may not receive understanding and forgiveness.”
