Actor Baron Geisler, who has been in the headlines for public brawls, alcoholism, and drug abuse, has shared in an Instagram post how he has been “touched by God” and is travelling around the Philippines giving his testimony and raising awareness towards mental health.

Since September, Baron has consistently posted photos of his talks across the Philippines on mental health, being diagnosed with bipolar disorder himself in 2012. Baron’s most recent Instagram post is of a page from Barney Saltzberg’s novel “Enough is Enough,” where he discusses ‘faith’ in the caption. Baron said in Filipino, “Need to strengthen Faith. Sometimes, it comes back that ‘I can do this myself mentality.

’ For example, I finished my medication earlier and we have an outing tomorrow with fellow Christians from Canada.

I panicked for a while then I read this [quote from the novel.] I asked myself, ‘Isn’t God’s strength and power sufficient enough for me? So, it’s more clear to me now and I lost fear in finishing this book.”

Last month, Baron posted a photo of himself with a group of kids from Cor Jesu College in Digos City, captioned, “No one is perfect. We commit mistakes and in the process, we lost the people we love, but we take comfort in knowing that we have a God who delivers us out of failure, turns our mess into a message and brings us to doors of new beginnings.”

Along with mental health, Baron has also been outspoken on the dangers of drug abuse. He is currently offering free haircuts to those going through substance addiction at a rehabilitation facility in Cebu.

In March 2018, Baron was arrested for attempted murder on his brother-in-law Michael Robin Stone Morales.

After that, he announced on Facebook his immediate submission into rehab, saying, “I am sorry to all whom I’ve hurt or offended. I will be better, and I will see you all again and work with you, when I am ready.
