Pinoy Celebrities Among Asian Contenders in PETA’s Annual ‘Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity’ Poll

Recognizing their contribution in spreading the awareness in protecting the animals and the benefits living in a veggie lifestyle, here are the Pinoy contenders for the sexiest list.

Baron Geisler can now continue his work after posting bail

Controversial actor Baron Geisler can still smell freedom and continue his work after he revealed that he posted bail and he just waiting for the scheduled hearing which was set later this month.

The award winning actor went under the radar after the Municipal Trial Court (MTC) of Bocaue, Bulacan issued an arrest warrant for Geisler in connection with the cases of acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation filed by actress Yasmien Kurdi.

He is still has a pending case of sexual harassment filed by the 21-year-old daughter of celebrity couple William Martinez and Ma. Rosario “Yayo" Aguila-Martinez. Just recently, actress Julia Clarete linked his name in another alleged sexual allegations.

Geisler is currently busy with his new project with Piolo Pascual for the fantasy series "Noah."

Arrest warrant against Baron Geisler; Yasmien Kurdi to give reward

Actress Yasmien Kurdi and her camp are determine to discipline Baron Geisler. Yasmien is ready to give a "substantial reward" to any law enforcer or private citizen who will implement the arrest order against the actor.

The Municipal Trial Court (MTC) of Bocaue, Bulacan issued an arrest warrant for Geisler last April 28 in connection with the cases of acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation filed against him earlier this year.

Geisler allegedly harassed his co-star Yasmien during the taping of their GMA television series "Suspetsa". The actress said the harassment occurred and was witness by the production staff. She also disclosed that Geisler had allegedly sent her lewd text messages.

The award-winning actor still has a pending case of sexual harassment filed by the 21-year-old daughter of celebrity couple William Martinez and Ma. Rosario “Yayo" Aguila-Martinez and recently, another alleged sexual allegations from actress Julia Clarete.

Baron Geisler is in a bad spot again. It is time to get this guy in prison to stop all his foolishness.

actress Yasmien Kurdi drops her sexual harassment charges against Baron Geisler

Expect that his arrogance and disrespect to women will happen again in the future after actress Yasmien Kurdi decided to drop her sexual harassment case to actor Baron Geisler.

Reportedly, Yasmien Kurdi doesn't want this case to be blown out of proportion and for her the important thing is, she went to the PNP Women's Desk Section to filed a blotter report to have extra security.

The actress also said that Baron Geisler has sent his apology via a text message but still she wants a public apology.

Baron's lawyer Bonifacio Alentajan is glad with the development, "We welcome that decision of hers to spare both individuals from unnecessary heartaches and misunderstanding."

actress Yasmien Kurdi filed sexual harassment case against Baron Geisler

It seems actor Baron Geisler will never learn. Once again Baron is in a bad spot after young actress Yasmien Kurdi went to the Philippine National Police (Women's Crisis and Child Protection Center) at Camp Crame and filed acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation charges against Baron Geisler.

Geisler allegedly harassed his co-star Yasmien during the taping of their GMA television series "Suspetsa". The actress said the harassment occurred and was witness by the production staff. She also disclosed that Geisler had allegedly sent her lewd text messages.

Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) gave interesting details about the complaint. According to PEP source, Baron approached his co-star, Yasmien, and then, without warning: "Minanyak si Yasmien. Sinilipan, hinihipuan, tapos nag-baté"

[Baron done some sexually suggestive and improper behavior, he has touched the body of Yasmien and masturbated in front of Yasmien.]

Actress Jennylyn Mercado, and Yasmien's personal Assistant (PA) reportedly saw the scene. The PA was able to record the incident with a cell phone camera.

Known for his alcohol problem, Baron Geisler is using his drunk excuse again. He is still has a pending case of sexual harassment filed by the 21-year-old daughter of celebrity couple William Martinez and Ma. Rosario “Yayo" Aguila-Martinez.

His acting awards and new projects doesn't help him motivate to stay out of trouble off screen. A jail time will be a solution for repeat offenders. His transfer to GMA is supposed to be a start for building up his image but obviously it failed.
