MANILA, Philippines — After all the controversial things that happened to actor Baron Geisler, director Brillante Mendoza still gave Baron a chance to showcase his talent in his new film titled “Alpha: The Right to Kill.”
Speaking with reporters during the movie’s press conference at the Director’s Club in SM Megamall, Brillante told the media that he and Baron have never had any conflict since working with each other.
“Ever since wala kaming naging problema ni Baron. Basta nasa set ko, behaved siya. Umiinom siya pero behaved naman siya. Ang importante nagagawa ng ayos ang trabaho, nakakadeliver more than anything else,” the award-winning director said.
“Sabi naman niya sa akin he’s trying his best na maayos ang buhay niya. Siyempre, alam naman niya at aware naman siya sa mga nangyayari sa buhay niya kaya inuupdate niya ko. I’m like a second parent for him. From time to time nagtetext, nagme-message sa akin sa Facebook,” he added.
Brillante said he always reminds the controversial actor to fix his life.
“Palagi ko sinasabi sa kanya, ‘Walang makakapagayos ng buhay mo kundi ikaw lang.’ At saka may hangganan kahit gaano ka kagaling, kalaki ang talent mo, ‘pag hindi mo ‘yan ginamit ng mabuti, mawawala ‘yan,” the director stressed.
“Alpha: The Right to Kill” will represent the Philippines in the upcoming San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.
