Guess who Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. is threatening these days?

He has now gone international as the local action star turned politician threatened to beat Alec Baldwin over some remarks made about acquiring a mail order bride from the Philippines.

The hostile reaction was brought about by Baldwin’s response to a question during the May 12 episode of “The Late Show with David Letterman“. Baldwin was asked about having more kids. And he responded, “I’m thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point… or a Russian one.” Letterman responded with a laugh, and said, “get one for me, for later.”

On the other hand, it could be that Revilla is just grandstanding to earn some “pogi” points for the coming national elections.

The senator said Alec’s “arrogant” comments were “insensitive and uncalled for”. He added that Baldwin should plan on never stepping foot in the Philippines: “Subukan niyang pumunta dito sa Pilipinas nang maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan [translated: Try going here and you’ll see mayhem].”  :-)

In case such a fight do come to reality, I’m putting my money on Bong. Ang dami atang anting-anting nun. [translated: He has a lot of talismans and lucky charms] hahaha

It should be noted that facilitating or arranging a marriage between a Filipina and a foreigner is prohibited under Republic Act 6955 or the Anti-Mail-Order Bride Law of 1990.
