Sen. Bong Revilla Jr.

2023 marks the golden year for Senator Bong Revilla as the Titanic Action Star celebrates his 50th anniversary in show business. ‘Alyas Pogi’ will also be celebrating his 57th birthday on Sept. 25, making the upcoming month more exciting.

“Sa lumipas na limampung taon na ako ay kabilang sa ating industriya, wala na ata akong mahihiling pa. Lubos akong nagpapasalamat sa Panginoon sa lahat ng biyaya na pinagkaloob niya sa akin at sa aking pamilya. Hindi ko maabot ang lahat ng ito kung di dahil sa Kanya, kasama rin lahat nagtiwala sa akin – sa mga producers, directors, production staff, mga stuntman, mga kapwa artista, at lahat ng ating mga naging tagahanga. Maraming, maraming salamat po,” the seasoned actor said.

Despite his busy schedule as a legislator, Sen. Bong’s love for acting continues to manifest and stand strong as he is currently devoting some of his time in doing his show ‘Walang Matigas na Pulis na Matinik na Misis’, a TV adaptation of his 90’s cult classic movie of the same title with his wife Congresswoman Lani Mercado-Revilla.

The said show premiered last June 4, 2023, and will be concluding its Season 1 on Aug. 20 after a 12-week run.

“Ito pong Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis ang aking regalo para po sa inyong lahat na sumuporta sa akin sa loob ng matagal na panahon. Marami sa inyo ay talagang natuwa at pinatawa nito noon. Kaya ginawa po ulit natin para magpasaya ngayon,” he said.

Sen. Bong a.k.a. Tolome bared that the weekly mini-series will be renewed for a second season, thanks to the high ratings the show received during its pilot season.

“Abangan niyo po dahil hindi dito matatapos ang kwento ni Major Bartolome Reynaldo, at hindi dito huling sisigaw si Gloria ng “Tolomeeeeeeee!”. Pinagpaplanuhan na po namin ang Season 2 dahil ramdam na ramdam po talaga namin ang inyong suporta at pagkasabik sa pagpapatuloy nito,” the veteran actor said.
