Sen. Bong celebrates, presents surprise for supporters
RAMON ‘Bong’ Revilla, Jr. is so happy that his action-comedy show on GMA, “Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis”, rated very high on its Sunday slot.
“Gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa lahat ng nanood at tumangkilik sa aming show,” he says in a special thanksgiving lunch he hosted for select members of the press. “Talagang ang daming tumututok sa show at nagpaabot sa amin ng pagbati nila kasi they really found it very entertaining. When they learned nga na magpapahinga muna ang show at last episode namin this Sunday, they said malulungkot sila kasi laugh trip talaga sa show and it’s a perfect way for them to end their weekend every Sunday.”
As a gesture of thanksgiving, Sen. Bong is holding “Pasasalamat ni Tolome Giveaways” on his Facebook page live this Sunday at 5:30 PM. Just tune in and you can wish big prizes like laptops and fabulous cash prizes. “This is our way of saying thank you sa wala sawa nilang pagtangkilik kay Tolome,” says Sen. Bong.
This Sunday’s finale episode will also really be very special as no less than his own wife, Congresswoman Lani Mercado, who will be the special guest. It will be recalled that it was Lani who was really his original leading lady as Gloria in the two “Walang Matigas na Pulis” that he did in the 90s.
But in this Sunday’s special story, Lani won’t be the wife of Bong. Instead, she will be the wife of another senator. They asked Sen. Bato de la Rosa to try acting in this episode and he obliged and granted the special favor asked by his co-senator from him.
“Riot ‘yung mga eksena nila ni Lani sa episode na ito,” says Bong. “Si Sen. Bato proved that he is a natural actor and comedian. May mga pitik siya na sobrang nakakatawa talaga kaya abangan nyo dahil never a dull moment ang buong episode na ito.”
The coming months of September and October will be very special for Sen. Bong. First, he would celebrate his 57th birthday on September 24 at Okada Manila. Then in October, he will celebrate his 50th anniversary in showbusiness.
It was in 1983 that Bong did his very first movie, “Dugong Buhay”, co-starring his own dad, Ramon Revilla Sr. It was a co-production between Viva Films and their own company, Imus Productions. That started his successful career as a topnotch young action star and, up to now, he star continues to shine bright as one of our most durable actors in showbusiness.
In line with this, GMA Network will do a television special celebrating his golden year in the entertainment industry and ABS-CBN promised to help in putting it up as Bong was their star in their very first movie produced for Star Cinema, “Adan Ronquillo”, which was blockbuster hit. To Sen. Bong, advanced happy birthday and 50th anniversary!
