Cavite Vice Governor Jolo Revilla recalled how he made it past a shooting accident that could have killed him three years ago yesterday, February 28.
Jolo's Instagram caption read: “Exactly 3 years ago today was a turning point in my life. God gave me a second chance to live.
“God made me realize how important life is. God showed me who loved me.
“Today, I am stronger than ever and my faith in Him overflowed.
“I realized, with God, nothing is impossible.”
BACKSTORY. On February 28, 2015, Jolo was rushed to the hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound on the upper right portion of his chest.
An initial report cited a source claiming that Jolo allegedly attempted suicide.
But an official statement from the Revilla family quashed speculations that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.
The statement, as read by the family spokesman Atty. Raymund Fortun, said: “At 9 am today at Ayala Alabang, Vice Governor Jolo Revilla suffered a single gunshot wound on his right chest after he accidentally fired a .40 Glock handgun while cleaning the same.”
Jolo was discharged after eight days of hospital confinement.
JODI’S MESSAGE. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Jodi Sta. Maria cheered the vice governor for staying strong through it all.
Addressing him by his real name, the 35-year-old Kapamilya actress wrote, “That's right, Jose Lorenzo! Never doubted you. We faith it, til we make it!"
The 29-year-old Jolo replied, "@jodistamaria Love you!:)"
Jolo’s brother Bryan Revilla also commented:
