<p>“When I speak the truth, I speak the truth. When I lie, I lie,” began actor Baron Geisler in an interview with talent manager and entertainment columnist Ogie Diaz.</p><p>For the first time ever, the Dearly Beloved star Baron Geisler revealed that he has a daughter whose existence he had not disclosed to the public prior to the interview.</p><p>“So I have someone out there,” he admitted, referring to his eldest daughter. “I have a kid out there, another one.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/tv/C2onrtuvFUs/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A319637.09999990463%2C%22ls%22%3A318878.5%2C%22le%22%3A319606.59999990463%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Without going into too much detail, Baron said that he is very hopeful that he would be able to introduce his eldest daughter to people when the right time comes.</p><p>“I hope someday, when things are okay, we’ll get to talk with her here,” he said.</p><p>The actor had mixed emotions about his daughter growing up away from him.</p><p>“Happy ako na lumaki siyang hindi niya naranasan yung kapangitan ng ugali ko, kabulastugan ko,” he shared. “Pero, lonely and sad [ako] because I didn’t get to hug her or see her grow up, or talk to her, or play with her.”</p><p>“But you know I always believe that everything happens for a reason,” he clarified.</p><p>Baron saw his daughter on IG, but initially wasn’t able to introduce himself as her dad.</p><p>“Umiyak ako, kasi noong 2017, noong namatay yung mommy ko, mag-isa na lang ako noon,” he recalled. “Pero before my mom passed away, tumitingin ako sa IG, iyong anak ko. Sabi ko, ‘Kamusta ka?” Hindi ko lang masabi na ‘Ako yung tatay mo’ pero lagi akong nakaabang. Umiiyak ako habang lulong ako sa alak.”</p><p>It was years before he was finally able to meet his eldest daughter in person.  His wife, Jamie Evangelista, was also able to meet her.</p><p>“Nameet ko na. Nameet niya rin si Jaimie. Magka-message kami, eh,” he said. “Noong huling beses ko siyang nakita, 5 or 6 years old siya. And then, dang, biglang dalaga na siya.”</p><p>It was Jamie who helped keep Baron’s emotions in check and prepared him for his first meeting with his eldest daughter.  </p><p>“Natuwa ako na naiyak ako noong nag-reach out siya sa akin pero hindi ko ipinakita na umiyak ako,” he recalled. “Parang nonchalant kasi kinausap ako nang wife ko, ‘Oh huwag kang creepy ah,’ ginanoon ako ng wife ko. ‘Relax ka lang. Cool ka lang’ (sabi niya) sa first meeting namin. Excited ako. Mayayakap ko na (siya).”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2b1nDiP2Fs/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A319653.40000009537%2C%22ls%22%3A318878.5%2C%22le%22%3A319606.59999990463%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Knowing that trust would take time, Baron did not rush his eldest into accepting him and his family in her life. He would ask to set dates with her and finally give her the fatherly attention he wasn’t able to give her before.</p><p>“Tinanong ko (siya) kasi siya yung nagmessage. Niligawan ko, ganoon, slowly, slowly hanggang sa nadevelop na yung trust. Doon na ako humirit na ‘Can I meet you?’ or ‘Where can I visit you? Come to the house. I’ll prepare a lunch for you,” he shared. “And I was like, ‘Can Mama Jamie come?” and she said ‘Of course.’ Nagdala ako ng cake.”</p><p>He would dote on her, even buying her gifts to somehow show her how much he cherished her despite years of being apart.</p><p>“Bumili ako ng kumpletong (jewelry) set ng birthstone niya. Pumunta kami kahit mahal. ‘Kaya ba natin maafford yan? Ang mahal’ sabi ni Jaime tapos sabi ko, “Jaime, ang dami ko nang utang sa anak ko. Sige na, ito lang bilhin natin’,” he shared.</p><p>Baron continued: “Pagdating ko doon, may dala-dala akong dalawang cake, parang nanligaw ako pero hindi yung masamang intentions. Talagang excited ako noong binigay ko yung jewelry, yung cakes. What an experience!”</p><p>Baron also discussed how his eldest child reacted after his issue on relapsing last year made its rounds online. She reached out to Jaime and also talked to him about it.</p><p>“But nagalit siya sa akin sa mga nabalitaan niya. Naging concerned siya last year parang (sinabi niya) ‘Are you relapsing? Mama Jaime is Tito Baron relapsing?’ Very concerned,” he said. “Pero nakausap ko (siya) ‘Yeah, don’t worry (about me)’.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/10/21/management-of-baron-geisler-breaks-silence-on-baseless-allegations-1225"><strong>READ: Management of Baron Geisler breaks silence on ‘baseless’ allegations<br/></strong></a></div><p>The actor also praised the parents who raised her and was very thankful for his child’s upbringing.</p><p>“Pinalaki siyang maayos ng mama at papa niya,” Baron stated. “She’s a very bright kid; hindi nagmana sa akin. Looks lang.”</p><p>Baron shared how happy he was when his daughter finally called him ‘dad’. He was also grateful for the opportunity to create memories with her after years of not being together.</p><p>Baron has been married to his wife, Jamie, since 2019. They share a daughter, Talitha Cumi, who turned 4 last January.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/7/14/baron-geisler-pens-sweet-birthday-message-for-wife-jamie-1533"><strong>READ: Baron Geisler pens sweet birthday message for wife Jamie<br/></strong></a></div><p>Baron shared how being a father pushed him to do better for the sake of his kids.</p><p>“You know being a father, happy-go-lucky ako before, now, para akong ABS-CBN, in the service of, not of the Filipino, but of my family, for my family,” he said.</p><p>It has made him focus on improving himself, knowing that his efforts are for his children’s future.</p><p>“I&#x27;m really taking my career seriously, focusing para makapag-ipon,” he remarked.  “Para sa pang-college ni Tali, kailangan maprepare ko na rin. Yung pagmamature ba.”</p><p>“I never ever imagined in my wildest dreams na aabot ako sa ganitong position o estado na ang kinikita ko ay para sa anak ko, para sa future nila,” he added.</p><div><iframe width="2026" height="814" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QqvJCL-VCIU" title="Kung paanong gumaling si Baron Geisler…. | Ogie Diaz" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
