Baron Geisler reflects on ‘Moro’
By Cynthia Montojo
“Moro,” topbilled by Baron, Piolo Pascual, and Laurice Guillen, plus participation of Christopher de Leon and Joel Torre, began streaming on Netflix last July 19.
Actor Baron Geisler looked back at the production of Brillante Mendoza’s “Moro,” significant project given it was his first after undergoing rehabilitation.
There are also cameo appearances of Beauty Gonzales, Nikki Valdez, Felix Roco, Alvin Anson, Roland Inocencio, Dido dela Paz, Kirst Viray, and Onyl Torres.
In the film, Baron plays middle sibling to characters played by Piolo and actress Ina Feleo.
“Small things become big because they were not threshed out in earliest possible time,” shared Cebu-based actor on conflicts in the story, recalling how movie was shot in 2019 just before pandemic.
When pandemic hit, Baron said some aspects of the production had to be halted during lockdowns.
“I consider this my first big break because this project landed on my lap right after my rehabilitation program,” Baron stressed.
Baron was initially tapped by Mendoza to play elder brother, Piolo’s character, in supporting role, while Piolo would be middle sibling. Latter’s hectic schedule, however, did not synchronize with character’s shooting schedule.
“So Direk Brillante swapped our roles and I had to rehearse Piolo’s lines and dialogue,” Baron shared. “And I thank him so very much for being gracious in giving me his role…it was the start of bigger projects coming my way.”
Yusoph Mando, former commissioner of National Commission on Muslim Filipinos, was present at film’s preview in Quezon City’s Victoria Sports Tower Cinema before “Moro” went to Netflix.
“I’m deeply touched by film’s portrayal of the events surrounding gruesome Mamasapano incident happened in Maguindanao Province sometime in 2015,” Mando said.
He praised “Moro” team for their “dedication to presenting more balanced and thoughtful narrative that shed light on complexities and realities faced by diverse communities in our country.”
“Your commitment to showcasing fairness, justice, and the perspective of both Muslims and non-Muslims affected by tragedy is truly commendable,” Mando ended.
