Senator Bong Revilla referred to former doctor Hayden Kho during a recent press get-together. He said, “Naramdaman ko na ang mga naramdaman ni Hayden noon,” referring to the experience of being maligned publicly.
It was Sen. Bong who instigated the revoking of the latter’s medical license following the proliferation of his six video a few years back.
Sen. Bong and family will be leaving the country on March 30 for a long-planned tour to the Holy Land. The interesting part is that Dr. Vicki Belo and Hayden himself will be part of the same trip.
Sen. Bong says about his involvement in Hayden’s case, “There was nothing personal about it on my end. Para sa akin po, tapos na ang episode na ’yun. Kung anuman ang mga naging differences namin, dahil naman po iyon sa paninindigan. Sana po kalimutan na natin ’yun. Panahon na para maghilom ang mga sugat nang nakaraan. Nakita naman din po natin, nagdusa na si Hayden.”
He said that if and when they bump into each other on the trip, he will gladly offer his hand to Hayden in friendship.
Sen. Bong also related that his father Don Ramon, who just turned 87 last March 8, is now recuperating. “We were supposed to have a celebration but he got hospitalized. But he is okay now. Although he is still concerned about my situation,” he said.
He added, “I told my dad, okay na ako. Huwag na niya ako isipin kasi handa na ako at wala na akong takot sa kung ano pa ang pwedeng gawin sa akin ng mga kalaban natin.”
This year, Sen. Bong also plans to join the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) once again. “May balak po kami na isali muli ang ‘Panday.’ Naudlot na nga po ’yan last year. Nahinto po ang buhay ko nang dahil sa mga panggigiba na ginawa nila laban sa akin. Pero ngayon po, tuloy tuloy na tayo. Lalo pa at naramdaman ko naman ang pagmamahal sa akin ng ating mga tagahanga.”
He has submitted his plans for 2016 to the Lord in prayer. “Ang hiling ko lang po talaga, kahit na sino pa ang mamuno ng ating bansa. Dapat siguruhin natin na ang taong ito ay may tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan, may puso at pagmamalasakit sa mga kababayan natin, tunay na magbabangon sa kanila sa kahirapan,” he ends.
