After a 14-year ban, Baron Geisler vowed not to “mess up” following an invitation to attend the ABS-CBN Ball, which would take place on Sept. 30.
Geisler took to his Instagram account on Saturday, Sept. 16 to express his gratitude for being invited to the upcoming event, saying he feels “humbled and grateful” to be welcomed with “open arms.”
“It has been more than a decade since I was invited to the #ABSCBNBALL due to my bad behavior during the previous ones. Now, I am humbled and grateful that they welcome me back with open arms. Can’t wait to thank the bosses personally and to have a wonderful time with my colleagues celebrating each one’s achievements,” he said. “Thank you, Sir @deo_endrinal and Tita Cory Vidanes.”

In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter), the actor said he would be “sober” at the ball since he wants to make up for his 14-year ban.

The “Senior High” star then promised that he would “not mess up” the opportunity in a follow-up post.
“This means so much to me. This invitation. I won’t mess it up,” he wrote.
In a Philippine Daily Inquirer interview in October, Geisler shared that his sobriety journey has been “smooth” on “most days” which taught him the importance of “stepping back and pausing” when he feels “overwhelmed by everything.”
“I can’t be too complacent even if things are going well because that is when the devil (disease of addiction) strikes. I may sound preachy, but I have to say that when I give the Lord my full trust, He strengthens me,” he was quoted as saying.
