Ping Medina
Actor Ping Medina has sustained a “boxer’s fracture” after punching a steel wall in a fit of anger after Baron Geisler pissed on him in an improvised scene in Arlyn dela Cruz’s indie film, “Bubog.”
The actor, who announced this in his Facebook account, also posted a photo of himself sitting on a hospital wheelchair with a bandaged right hand.
Written in Filipino, Medina recalled in detail what had happened while filming a highly emotional torture scene inside a shipping container.
Medina had been tied up and gagged, and Giesler’s task was to remove the tape on his mouth and listen to him beg for his life. He said Geisler was supposed to leave after that, but he was surprised when he saw the latter unbutton his pants and pee on him.
“It happened so fast… Direk Arlyn screamed ‘cut!’ and rushed to the scene,” said Medina. The actor added that his initial reaction was to punch Geisler, but decided against it. He hit the shipping container’s wall, instead.
Also on Facebook, Medina cursed at Geisler several times and told the latter: “You are no actor, because a real actor is concerned about his work and the people he’s working with. You are not even a person. You are worse than an animal because no animal would pee on his own kind and secretly laugh about it.”
Medina then pleaded to network bosses to rethink their decision if ever they would consider hiring Geisler for their future projects. He ended his post with a message to Geisler: “Everything you do comes back to you.” —MARINEL R. CRUZ
