The highlight of the Revillas' vacation was supporting boxing hero Manny Pacquiao in his bout against Mexico's Erik Morales in Las Vegas on March 19. Pacquiao-still black and blue from his opponent's blows-gamely posed with every Pinoy who came to support him. "That photo was taken mga two hours lang siguro after his fight," says Andeng. Although the Pac-Man didn't win, he remained the idol of these big boys (L-R): Nick Enciso, Jolo's guardian in the U.S.; Senator Bong Revilla's aide, Cholo; Jolo Revilla; Senator Bong Revilla; comedian Jimmy Santos; and Eric Torente.
The Revillas-including daddy Bong (with black bonnet)--had a blast at Big Bear Mountain in California. "Sobrang saya niyan," says Andeng Revilla, of this particular family play in the snow. "Mag-i-slide kayo pababa... Nakakapagod pero ang saya."
Jolo, Loudette, Ram, and Gianna got cozy with Shrek and Donkey at the Shrek 4-D attraction inside the Universal Studios in Hollywood. This is a ride where you can see, hear, and actually feel the movie action right from your seat. It was not the kids' first time at Universal, but it was still great fun for them.
"'Yan ‘yong time na ihahatid na nila si kuya Bong sa airport," Bong's younger sister, Andeng Bautista, says of this photo of Jolo, Lani, Bong, and Bryan taken at the Los Angeles Airport, more popularly known as LAX.
Andeng adds: "Hindi kasi kami sabay-sabay pumunta saka umuwi. Sumunod kaming umuwi ni Daddy []Ramon Revilla Sr.]. Tapos, sina Ate Lani naman. Kaya si Jolo, nagka-trauma na sa kakahatid ng mga tao sa airport. Kasi, di ba, naiwan siya?"
