This post is related to an earlier entry about this girl who sent me an email and claimed that she has photos of award-winning Filipino actor Baron Geisler and a girl smoking marijuana. The email sender calls herself “Angela Batumbakal.”

And since I was intrigued by her email, I sent her a brief reply asking, “and I suppose you’re asking for money?” (Well, truth be told, I knew from the get-go that she needed money in exchange for these photos of former Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity contestant Baron Geisler and a girl smoking marijuana but admittedly, I was curious and a bit baffled as to how people can go through such lengths just to earn that quick buck)

Today, I checked my email and I finally received a short confirmation from “Angela Batumbakal”:

“ofcourse in exchange for d pictures that im goin to give you.thanks.”

How can this person sleep at night?

I received a rather weird (yet interesting, I must admit) offer via email yesterday. A girl who introduced herself as a certain “Angela Batumbakal” claimed that she has photos of “Jay” indie film lead actor Baron Geisler and another woman (unnamed) smoking marijuana. I found her email “interesting” only because I realize the lengths people go through just so they can either destroy a person or earn that quick buck.

This “Angela Batumbakal” wrote: i have 5 clear pictures of baron geisler and a woman smoking marijuana.i found a memory card at an internet cafe and then i opened it and saw baron’s pictures on it.if u are interested to have these pictures,u can send me an email.09099758776 [angelabatumbakal@yahoo.com]

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who received her so-called “offer,” which, by the way, sounds awfully odd. I mean, seriously, will anybody just leave a “memory card” with controversial photos in it? And in an Internet cafe, no less! Of course, I knew from the get-go that this person only needs money in exchange for these alleged photos of Baron Geisler smoking marijuana.

I wonder what ABS-CBN will do about this (if this is even worth their time and attention). Do you think Bong Osorio (ABS-CBN’s Corporate Communications Director) will even give this the time of day?

I also wonder if Baron Geisler has anything to say about this. I actually feel sorry for the guy – I have a feeling that this is just a ploy to destroy his name.

Did YOU receive a similar email?
