"Makabisita ka nga lang on the day of your wedding dun sa isa sa mga... like, puwedeng sa Sistine Chapel. Kahit wala nang renewal of vows, makapunta ka lang do'n at makapagdasal kayo together and light a candle together, is something very meaningful for us. Hindi na siguro kailangang magpaka-garbo pa kami," sabi ni Bacoor Representative Lani Mercado tungkol sa plano nila ng asawang si Senator Bong Revilla sa kanilang 25th wedding anniversary.

Special guest si Congresswoman Lani Mercado sa radio program na Usapang Babae sa DzIQ990AM last November 6. Sina Fanny Serrano at Jeanny Jinang ang hosts ng programang isinasahimpapawid tuwing Sabado ng umaga, 10-11 a.m.

Bagamat mga kababaihan ang target audience ng programa, iba-iba ang topics na pinag-usapan ng hosts at ng kanilang special guest.

Hindi ito strictly pambabae, o lalo't kilalang artista at politician na ngayon ang misis ni Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.

May mga tagapakinig na tumatawag, o nagte-text either kina Fanny o Ms. Jeanny, at nagtatanong tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay na may kinalaman sa tungkulin ni Bacoor Representative Lani Mercado (Jesusa Victoria Mercado Bautista in real life), o kaya'y hinggil sa latest update nila ni Senator Bong.

VATICAN CITY. At one point sa programa ay nagtanong ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) tungkol sa napabalitang pagpapakasal muli next year nina Bong at Lani sa Vatican City, Italy.

Sagot ni Lani, "Next year kasi is our 25th year. Nandiyan yung usapan na since nasa 40s na kami, gusto naman naming makatuntong sa Europe together.

"Kasi, the first and last time that Bong went to Europe was with my mother-in-law [the late Mrs. Azucena Mortel Bautista], nung nagpagamot siya sa Lourdes [France]. Hindi ako nakasama sa kanila.

"Yun ang gusto naming gawin on our 25th anniversary.

"Hindi naman talaga Vatican City wedding na masasabi," diin ni Lani. "Makabisita ka nga lang on the day of your wedding dun sa isa sa mga... like, puwedeng sa Sistine Chapel.

"Kahit wala nang renewal of vows, makapunta ka lang do'n at makapagdasal kayo together and light a candle together, is something very meaningful for us. Hindi na siguro kailangang magpaka-garbo pa kami

"Ikinasal na kami sa Amerika, sa unang pagkakataon, noong [May] 1986, tapos we had a centennial wedding [1998] here in the Philippines, sa Imus, Cavite.

"Pakiramdam ko, ano na 'yon, e... Makasama at makapiling ko lang si Senator Bong, for twenty-five years, at madagdagan pa ito, is already a big achievement."

Anim ang mga anak ng mag-asawang Bong at Lani after 24 years of marriage: sina Leonard Bryan (Bryan Revilla), Jose Lorenzo (Jolo Revilla), Inah Felicia, Ma. Viktoria Gianna, Ma. Franzel Loudette, at Ramon Vicente (Ram).

BONG'S VANITY. After a while, sabi ni Fanny, "Meron namang nakakaintrigang tanong: 'Congresswoman Lani, sino po ang naglalaba ng underwear ni Senator Bong?'"

Nagulat na natawa si Ms. Lani sa narinig: "Diyos ko naman! Ano bang tanong...labandera po!"

mas gugustuhin ko pa si Kris kesa dito, hindi na ito martir, ito ay t nga na, masamang impluwensya sa mga batang kababaihan at baka isipin lang na normal lang na nangangaliwa ang mga asawa at magtiis na lang, dinaig pa ni Bong si Robin Padilla na muslim, atleast si Robin ay hindi nagkakalat ng lahi at super hands on sa mga anak saka hindi lantaran panloloko sa aswa, saan ka nakakita na bday ni lani bukas eh nasa HK ito si Bong kasama ang babae niya, baka nga tinotolerate din nito ang pagnanakaw ni Bong sa kaban ng bayan, kung natotolerate niya pananakit sa damdamin niya ni Bong what more pa kaya ang ginagawa ni Bong sa ibang tao

Some people might misunderstood you as a person becasue they dont really know who is the real Lani Mercado... Never mind them because you know the truth... you can never put a good person down...GODSPEED...

You cannot light a candle in the Sistine Chapel. You can only view the Art Work done by Michaelangelo. However, if they are going to the Vatican, they can pray and light a candle in St. Peter's Basilica. If they want to renew their vows, they can do that in St. Peter's Basilica as well.

Masarap magliwaliw sa ibang bansa lalo na kung pera ng bayan ang ginagamit. Only in the Philippines wika nga.
Mga B.O.B.O. ang mga taong bumuto sa mga ganitong pulitiko. Proven ng walang kwenta ang mga Revilla, di pa rin nadadala. Yong si Bong, no.1 na pervert ng bayan. puro pa-cute lang sa senado.
