Bong Revilla’s contagious
smile remains the same, but there
is a little hesitation and yes, some
awkwardness. The action star and
former senator, speaking to the
entertainment press yesterday,
admitted suffering from trauma
after his more than four-year stay
at the PNP Detention Center.
He still has a hard time
sleeping, and lost weight – 15
pounds – in the process. He
recalled being surrounded by
law enforcement officers and
confessed to developing a phobia
of the police.
“Nung dumaan kami sa Camp
Crame one time, dumadagundong
ang dibdib ko,” he said.
Nevertheless, he is elated
to be acquitted. More than a
month after his release, he is
savoring time with his loved ones
– nonagenarian dad Ramon Sr.,
wife Lani and their children, plus
his brothers and sisters. It was the
love of his family, especially wife
Lani, and his faith in the Lord
that kept him optimistic in spite
of being incarcerated. Inside the
detention center, he kept himself
busy with exercise. He also heard
mass and attended Bible study
services regularly.
He wants to return to the
big screen soon. He said he will
join the next Metro Manila Film
Festival – with Vice Ganda, Pia
Wurtzbach and Maine Mendoza as
possible co-stars – and hopes to
do something about the exorbitant
ticket price that prevents the poor
from enjoying the magic of cinema.
“Ang mga mahirap, sa TV na lang
nanonood,” he said.
Aside from theater tickets,
the ex-senator said the TRAIN Act
should be revisited and that drugs
and transportation in the country
should be addressed.
“Can you imagine ano pa ang
haharapin natin [sa traffic] five to
ten years from now?” he said . ●
