That’s how Sen. Bong Revilla and Bacoor Mayor Lani Mercado are called by their constituents.
Terms of endearment, Kuya Bong and Ate Lani.
Senator Bong Revilla is most productive. His accomplishments include:
Eight bills enacted into law, 352 bills and resolutions filed, 20 under second reading, 50 adopted resolutions, 14 passed on third reading.
Kuya Bong is also behind the Bayanihan Relief Operations (ever ready to respond to disaster calls) and Kaalaman, Ating Palawakin (giving away gadgets to students).
Bacoor Mayor Lani Mercado is recipient of various awards for her livelihood, tourism, social, medical, and cultural programs.
Ate Lani launched the Ligtas Covid-19 Center which takes care of those afflicted with the virus.
Helping Kuya Bong and Ate Lani in their activities is their son, Cavite Vice Governor Jolo Revilla.
The year 2020 is particularly sad for the Revilla clan. The patriarch, Don Ramon (former Senator Ramon Revilla) died at 93.
