A dedicated public servant, Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. finds a way to attend to his first love – which is acting both in television and movies. The actor-politician is thankful for the warm reception of TV viewers in his action-comedy series, “Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis” sa Kapuso Network.
“Maraming salamat sa inyong pagtangkilik at sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood, manood po kayo at makikita nyo na talagang pinaghihirapan namin ito dahil pam-pelikula ang aming ginagawa, ang stunts pati na rin production.
"Siguradong matutuwa kayo dahil action-comedy, pang pamilya pa,” the Titanic action star said during a luncheon with the officers and members of Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC).
Revilla said, this early there are plans MMFF 2025 of a big action movie in the mold of Hollywood's “Expandables.”
"Pero for now wala pang official announcement dahil napakahirap i-gather lahat ng cast at nasa planning stage pa lamang. Ang sigurado na ay ang pagsasapelikula ng pang-apat na yugto ng “Alyas Pogi” na ayaw pang sabihin ng butihing senador kung sino kanyang leading lady.
Achilles' Heel
A recent update however saw the senator suffering injury while filming Alyas Pogi 4.
On his FB page, Revilla said he suffered a partial tear of his Achilles heel while filming a running scene, and that the doctors have recommended surgery to address the injury.
"Na-MRI na po ako kanina, and the doctor said my Achilles heel tear is at 50 percent, dahil sa pagtakbo… ang bilis ko raw tumakbo. Iyon mga, itong sinasabi na hindi na tayo bumabata, tumatanda na, but I am okay," he said.
After the surgery, it may take 5 to 6 months before he can resume shooting. So let's wait and see if the shooting should be postponed or not.
Centenarians Act Amended
Meanwhile, the senator is happy with the amendment of the Centenarians Act which the Revillas lobbied on: Sen. Revilla at the Senate and Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla (District Representative of the 2nd District of Cavite) & Rep. Bryan Revilla (Agimat Partylist) at Congress, for Republic Act 11982.
“Kaya tinawag naming Revilla Law ito dahil tulung-tulong kami tatlo sa pagsusog nito sa Senado at Kongreso,” Revilla said.
With Republic Act 11982, Senior Citizens will receive a cash gift of ₱10,000 when they reach the ages of 80, 85, 90, and 95. This is aside from the ₱100,000 cash on their 100th birthday.
“Kaya naman dapat ay magpa-register na sila OSCA o Office of Senior Citizens Affairs ngayon pa lang dahil next year, 2025, pa ito makukuha. Hindi po kasi ito kasama sa budget ng 2024. Napaaga po kasi ang approval ng ating mahal na Pangulo Bongbong Marcos. Kaya isa na po itong batas at lahat ng may birthday this year na 80, 85, 90, at 95, lahat sila makakakuha ng bonus na P10,000 next year,” Revilla said.
