We did a special project called <em>Beast Mode,</em> a social experiment. Nag premiere kami sa Amsterdam so nine months ako naka in character to be as crazy as possible,” he recalled.</p><p>Included in the nine months was the orchestrated bar fight he had with his fellow actor. He admitted how he had animosity with the government at that time due to the extra judicial killings (EJK) that were happening then.</p><p>Baron revealed in the same interview that he was also getting illegal drugs from police officers in the past which fueled his disdain with the EJKs that were being heavily publicized by the media.</p><p>“Anti-government kasi ako nung time na yun eh. Yung pinagkuhanan ko ng drugs before galing din sa mga police ng time na yun. Nung nag kakaroon ng EJK, I was getting mad about the killings kasi nag papalit ulo yung mga tao,” he shared.</p><p>Through the social experiment, the Kapamilya actor wanted to show how it wasn’t difficult to manipulate the “mainstream media” as well.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/4/fresh-scoops/baron-geisler-reveals-his-reason-for-relapsing-199923"><strong>READ: Baron Geisler reveals his reason for relapsing</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“Nag samasama kaming grupo–– may mga NPA–– basta we just hated this system na parang kung kayang imanipula ng mga politicians ang mainstream media, pakita rin natin na ordinary people like us can manipulate the system,” he added.</p><p>The only problem that they had was that their film had a limited showing which was why not everyone understood what was happening and why a fight between him and Kiko ensued. </p><p>Despite this, Baron maintained that people who know him in person have an idea of who he is and the values he has.</p><p>“Real people who know me, I’m very sweet, very loving, very shy,” he ended.</p>
