MANILA, Philippines?Reader Melba Gabuya of Davao City writes:

?Patricia Martinez, with the help of father William Martinez and mother Yayo Aguila, is bringing Baron Geisler to court for alleged harassment. He had it coming.

?The public has seen how Baron gets when he?s drunk. Among the PBB hosts when Baron was there, only Luis Manzano addressed the problem.

?I don?t know why ABS-CBN cast him in that show at all. Under the influence of alcohol, he was just wicked. But surely, that was a magnet for advertisement and audience share.

?The guy needs rehab. But he has to face the law first; he shouldn?t get away with this. I just hope Patricia and her family don?t back down.?
