The said flick sped straight to the top of the charts, claiming the coveted No. 1 spot on Netflix Philippines.
“The Delivery Rider,” which features a powerhouse performance from Baron Geisler as a highly functional delivery rider on the autism spectrum, has clearly resonated deeply with viewers, marking a significant victory for the film's star and the entire creative team.
The actor, who has often been open about his personal journey of recovery and faith, took to social media to share a message that was raw with emotion and gratitude.
It was more than a typical celebrity post; it was a testament to his personal and professional rebirth.
"Tears of joy are flowing while I'm writing this message," Baron confessed in his online post. He admitted to being overwhelmed, struggling to find the words to convey the immense happiness and gratitude that filled his heart.
"Hindi ko po maipaliwanag yung saya at pasasalamat sa puso ko ngayon. Nangingilabot ako sa tuwa. Number one na po tayo sa Netflix ang #thedeliveryrider! 💯♥️," he wrote, his use of Filipino underscoring the sincerity of his delight.
For Geisler, the success is rooted firmly in his spiritual journey. He immediately shifted the spotlight upward, declaring, "To my Lord and Savior, Jesus, Abba, Father!! all glory, honor, and praise belong to You."
This recognition of his faith as the foundation of his discipline, focus, and dedication highlights the transformative path he has taken in recent years.
Beyond his personal joy, Baron was quick to acknowledge the collective effort behind the film. He extended a heartfelt thank you to the team, including director Lester Pimentel Ong, production house Studio Three Sixty PH, and the Action360 stunt team.
He proudly stated that their shared "sweat, blood, and tears" were not in vain, a powerful affirmation of the hard work poured into the physically demanding action sequences and emotionally taxing roles.
Crucially, the actor dedicated the film's milestone not just to the viewers, but to the real-life heroes who inspired the story. "At para sa lahat po ng #AUsome parents, sa mga #riders, at sa lahat ng lumalaban sa buhay para sa atin po ito!🚀" he wrote.
This dedication to parents raising children on the spectrum—a cause deeply personal to him as his own daughter, Talitha, is on the spectrum—and to the everyday heroes of the road, solidified the film's message of hope and resilience.
Baron also sweetly credited his wife, psychologist Jamie Marie, whom he lovingly referred to as his "lucky charm" and "rock."
Their connection to the film runs deeper than moral support; Jamie even made an appearance, marking her acting debut.
This added dimension turned the film's success into a shared, close-knit family achievement, symbolized by Baron's humorous acknowledgment: "Sabi nga nila behind every great man is a woman who secretly claimed the lead role!! lol 😂 Kaya ayan lumabas ka na sa pelikula love. Para sa’yo rin to… at sa mga fans mo! ✌🏼😆 ♥️."
The film, which centers on a delivery rider with functional autism who accidentally gets pulled into a criminal operation, is clearly resonating because it is "more than a film."
As Baron summarized, "it’s a story of hope, redemption, and God’s grace." This success follows his earlier Netflix hit, the series Incognito, signaling a powerful new chapter in his career, defined by meaningful roles and critically acclaimed performances.
