A man posing as Sarah Geronimo's fan allegedly pointed an electric gun (stun gun) at her father, Delfin Geronimo while the singer-actress was still doing a show at ASAP XV.
The incident reportedly happened between 2 to 3 PM Sunday, August 8, 2010, at the Basement 1 Parking Area inside the ABS-CBN building.
According to Daddy Delfin, an ABS-CBN security guard contacted him, saying the suspect, a Paulino Mercado, had a gift for him to claim. Upon arriving at the basement, the suspect told Daddy Delfin that in order to collect the gift, he had to sign papers inside a van that was parked in a dimly lit area of the basement.
Once near the open van, Daddy Delfin said Paulino forcibly pushed him inside and poked a stun gun at him. Daddy Delfin fought off Paulino and screamed for help to which an ABS-CBN security group promptly responded.
The suspect was brought to Station 10 QCPD where he denied the accusation. "Wala po �yon. Gusto ko lang po matawag sa sasakyan... parang props..." Paulino said.
Authorities also recovered a tampered license plate and curtains that hung in the suspect's van.
"Tingin ko kidnap ito kasi kung na-paralyze niya ako sa pagkakakuryente puwede niya akong ikulong sa loob ng sasakyan. Tapos itatali niya ako sa cable tie. May cable tie siya. Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin sa akin. Maaring ipatubos ako sa pamilya ko," a tense Daddy Delfin said.
Paulino, however, denied he planned to kidnap Geronimo. He admitted that he only planned to rob him.
"Gipit lang po. Napilitan lang na gumawa ng hindi maganda. Hindi ko po kikidnapin� kung ano 'yong nasa katawan niya 'yon lang ang napag-interesan ko lang,"
