Actor Bryan Revilla visited the set of my digital show with Nay Lolit Solis last Tuesday. It was my first time meeting him (kinilig ata ako!) and my opening line to him was about his love life. (feeling close agad!)
MF: Kilala ko ex mo.
BR: Sino sa kanila?
MF: Si Maui Taylor.
BR: Ang tagal na nun. 20 years na ata!
MF: Di naman! (para namang lola na kami ni Maui!)
The 35-year-old son of Senator Bong Revilla Jr. and Mayor Lani Mercado recently decided to enter politics and follow the footsteps of his parents and grandfather, the late Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. (mukhang naipasa na yung agimat!)
“Dati kasi behind the scenes lang ako sa politika. Tumutulong ako bilang bahagi ng staff. Pero ngayon, ako na rin yung tumatakbo. Naniniwala kasi ako sa destiny. Dito rin talaga ko dinala," Bryan shares. (destiny pala name ko sa gabi, bro!)
Bryan is the first nominee of the multi-sectoral party list: Agimat. (pakita nga nung agimat mo bro!)
“Yang agimat na yan, lagi yan napag-uusapan. Minsan hinahanap pa sakin yan. Pero ako ang tingin ko dyan, yung agimat talaga namin ay yung pagmamahal namin sa tao. Yung paano namin ibinibahagi yung sarili namin sa iba,” Bryan explains. (pengeng pagmamahal!)
He is definitely delaying any showbiz plans for politics. “Gusto ko talagang maging direktor, kaya nagdirek pa ako ng documentary para sa lolo ko. Nagagawa ko rin namin minsan magdirek sa YouTube Channel ko. Pero siyempre ngayon focus muna ako sa Agimat Partylist.” (paano na tayo bro?!)
Even wedding plans with his non-showbiz girlfriend are not yet a priority. “Ako kasi, let’s cross the bridge when we get there.” (ipapasara ko yang bridge! Chos!)
Bryan is just happy that his parents are always supportive with his decisions in life. (may surprise phonepatch pa ang senador sa show at si mayor, nagcocomment pa sa Facebook live namin!)
Before ending our interview with him, Nay Lolit revealed a heartwarming story about Bryan. (ay pang MMK ba ito?!)
“Naalala ko sabi sakin ni Lani noon, nung bata pa si Bryan, naglulusot yan ng tissue sa ilalim ng pinto ng kwarto kapag alam nyang nasa kwarto si Lani at umiiyak dahil may dinadamdam kay Bong," Nay Lolit recalls. (siyempre pag si Nay Lolit yan mas gusto nya, envelope ng pera kesa tissue!)
