I wanted to be like my father who was admired, respected and loved. I also wanted to be part of the lives of the people.<br /><br /><strong>What do you consider as the turning point in your career? </strong>When I started to make a name of my own in the business. This was when I already had an identity separate from my father, when I was already referred to as Bong Revilla and no longer just the son of Ramon Revilla.<br /><br /><strong>If you weren’t in showbiz, what kind of career would you have?</strong> I really am not sure. All I know is that since I was young, I had the passion to touch the lives of people, just as I am touching the lives of Filipinos as an actor, and greater, as a public servant.<br /><br /><strong>What is your biggest frustration/regret? </strong>I have one regret in my life it was that I passed up on the opportunity to finish my studies. This is the reason why I am now making time to catch up on my studies by enrolling in different courses.<br /><br /><strong>What do most people don’t know about you? </strong>I don’t think there are any. Having (lived) almost my entire life under the scrutiny of the watchful public eye, I have always been an open book.<br /><br /><strong>What is your most unforgettable moment/experience? </strong>I have a few… The first time I became a father, the first time I appeared on screen, the first million I made on my own, the chance I got to serve my kababayans in Cavite, and the chance to serve our country as Senator.<br /><br /><strong>What are you most proud of? </strong>Everything that I have done.<br /><br /><strong>What do you value most? </strong>Honesty, truth, and good moral values.<br /><br /><strong>What do you want to achieve? </strong>To be able to live up to the expectations of the millions of Filipinos who put their trust, hope and confidence in me.<br /><br /><strong>What is your advice to aspiring artists? </strong>Reaching your dreams in any field or endeavor is not at all an easy feat. You must have focus, drive, determination and perseverance. Never forget to ask for divine guidance and help. If your dream is meant for you, it will just be a matter of time before you reach them.</p> |
