Bong Revilla Plans To Do A Movie For The Annual Metro Filmfest And Another One With His Three Sons

BONG REVILLA hosted lunch for the movie press in celebration of the Chinese New Year. He’s running for the senate in the next election but he says he will continue to make movies and TV shows. He wants to join the next Metro-Manila Filmfest and he also plans to do a movie along with his three sons he did “Tres” last year.

“Acting ang first love ko and showbiz is really my bread and butter, dahil ito ang bumuhay at bumubuhay sa pamilya ko, not politics,” he says. “Kaya yung mga nambu-bully sa’kin hanggang ngayon, puede kong ipaliwanag sa korte na lahat ng kinita ko, galing sa mga pelikula at TV shows na ginawa ko. Ang public service, pambayad utang sa mga tagahanga ko na all these years, e hindi ako pinababayaan. Hanggang ngayon, nasa top 10 ako sa surveys at sa pag-ikot ko sa bansa, kahit saan ako magpunta, napakainit ng pagtanggap nila sa’kin. Sumisigaw sila ng ‘Bong, tuloy ang laban!’ Naluluha na lang ako sa tuwa.”

He’s been invited to public senatorial debates by different TV stations, but he refuses to join them. “Ang taong bayan na lang ang hahayaan kong humusga sa akin sa darating na halalan.”

Did he feel bad when Robin Padilla didn’t visit him at all while he was in detention for four and a half years? “No. Maaaring he’s too busy. At hindi ko naman siya inoobligang dalawin ako. He’s a friend and we respect him. Wala kaming issue.”

But his manager, Lolit Solis, is more vocal. “Ako, may tampo ako kay Robin. Kasi noong siya ang nakakulong sa Muntinlupa, lagi siyang dinadalaw ni Bong kasama ang nasirang Rudy Fernandez. Kahit puyat sa trabaho yung dalawa, dinadalhan pa siya ng pasalubong. Pero si Bong, kasamahan niya sa industriya, hindi man lang niya nagawang dalawin kahit minsan.”
