At a recent press conference for the highly anticipated third season of “Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis,” Senator Bong Revilla Jr. made headlines with a heartfelt message emphasizing the importance of acceptance and responsibility when it comes to love children. His candid remarks shed light on personal aspects of his life, highlighting a universal theme of family and acceptance.

A Call for Acceptance

Revilla openly discussed the need for parents to accept their love children and take responsibility for their upbringing. Drawing from his own experiences, the senator shared that he has acknowledged his love children, confirming their parentage through DNA tests—a process made easier with the support of his wife, Congresswoman Lani Mercado. “I-pa DNA mo. At kung talagang anak mo siya, panagutan mo,” he stated, encouraging parents to face their truths.

When pressed for details about his familial situation, Revilla confidently remarked, “Alam ni Lani ‘yun,” hinting at his wife’s awareness and support regarding their children. He expressed that viewers would soon become acquainted with these love children, demonstrating his commitment to family unity.

A Thoughtful Response from the Cast

This sensitive topic resonated with the cast members, particularly Beauty Gonzales, who plays Gloria, the wife of Tolome (portrayed by Revilla). Gonzales expressed her readiness to accept a child claiming to be the child of her partner, stating, “Wala namang kasalanan ang bata ‘dun. Deserve din niya to have that sense of family.” Her response encapsulated a compassionate perspective on the complexities of familial relationships.

Excitement for Season Three

“Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis” is not just a TV series but a cultural phenomenon in the Philippines. This remake of the beloved 1994 film is set to return for its third season after two successful runs, with the latest season premiering on December 22, 2024, on GMA 7. The series humorously showcases how Tolome’s tough police demeanor fades in the face of his wife’s straightforward confrontations, a comedic reflection that many can relate to in their own partnerships.

Revilla and the male cast perceive this dynamic as a form of respect rather than fear. Comedian Jeffrey Tam, who portrays Bunso Batumbakal, remarked, “Hindi naman sa takot. Respeto mo na din ‘yun sa asawa mo,” emphasizing the importance of mutual respect in relationships.

Action and Recovery

The show’s trailer promises high-energy action sequences, with Revilla himself performing some of the stunts. Remarkably, he has recovered from a recent Achilles tendon operation, a fact that initially made the crew nervous about his involvement in action scenes. “Medyo napapailing sila if may stunts na subamit ako. I will just say ‘I am okay’,” Revilla assured, showcasing his dedication to both his health and the craft.

Moreover, as a veteran of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), Revilla has plans to return to the big screen, seeking to revive the glory days of action films in Filipino cinema. “Yun ang nawala eh, yung action films. And gusto natin siya maibalik para sa mga manonood,” he expressed, indicating his passion for the genre.

What to Expect

The star-studded cast of “Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis” includes notable names like Carmi Martin, Liezel Lopez, Nino Muhlach, Raphael Landicho, Jestoni Alarcon, Joko Diaz, and Leo Martinez. Fans can tune in to catch new episodes every Sunday evening on GMA 7, starting just in time for the holiday festivities.

As we anticipate the new season, Senator Revilla’s messages of acceptance and responsibility resonate as powerfully as ever, reminding us that love, regardless of its complexities, can ultimately bring families closer together.
