In a rare gathering of politicians, businessmen, showbiz stars and celebrities together, the 57th birthday and 50th anniversary in show business of Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. were held in a joint occasion, Idol Ko si Bong.
The Okada Manila grand ballroom was filled to its capacity with close to a thousand guests. Dapper in a white suit worn over black pants, Sen. Bong tirelessly went from one table to another, from one end of the ballroom to another, greeting all his guests who joined the occasion that night.
Meanwhile, Bong’s wife, Lani Mercado, has no other wish for her husband but to see his personal wish come true.“Of course, I also want to see local cinema prosper again. I know it’s so hard to do that at this point because movies are not the priority of Filipinos lately. The prices of all the commodities are so high, watching movies is not their priority. I pray that we can renew that interest to watch movies again.
The sit-down dinner consisted of seared sesame crusted Ahi tuna with vegetable salad oriental dressing, cream of artichoke for soup and wild mushroom cream of angel hair pasta. Acting is in his blood, according to Bong. More than public service which came much later, showbiz was really his first love. He did not aspire to be in politics. That came much later.
