Bong Revilla wants to end verbal war against Edu Manzano

I was wondering why a senator would find time to meddle on the affair of a small agency when therei are a million concerns the senate could have dip into. I think Senator Revilla is finding a positive photo-op at the expense of EduManzano.. He should file a law to legalize the addition of wives so he wont be caught next time like what his father did to legalize all his offspring. Senator Revilla must stay as an actor if he loves the limelight that much.

hahaha...tama rin ang ginagawa ni bong kasi siya ang nagsimula...

The good Sen.Revilla should know that he is not the VRB Chair anymore. He should be concentrating and focusing more on laws and bills in further strengthening the drive against DVD piracy. The law enforcement aspect and intensive drive to get rid of the "pirates" is better left to Chairman Manzano.In this case there will be no overlapping of functions.It's that simple.

diversionary tactics. The good senator has other issue on his alleged affair that just came out.

Revilla should concentrate on his job as a senatong and for delecadeza sake, stop shooting for movies, you're just fooling the people who voted for you

I think I'm in this with Edu Manzano. Bong Revilla should not make comments against anybody when he himself was not very effective when he was the head of this agency. I think Edu is doing his job very well and Bong is getting insecured when his job is compared with that of Edu.

If you (Sen Revilla) are a politician, act like a politician.If you are an actor just act like an actor.Concentrate in only one function, because our brain can only handle one solution at one time.

Bong Revilla is not a good manager as it was shown with his word war with Edu Manzano. I sensed it's political move by the former for his intention by 2010. As a senator, you should show to the people that you are capable to your job, by drafting and sponsoring bills into laws, not showmanship.

Nocido, you are absolutelt right.

To Bong and Edu: Palibhasa pareho kayong bobo kaya hanggang away lang ang alam ninyong dalawa.

Wala kasing magawa si Revilla sa senado dahil bobo siya sa legislation alam lang naman niya showbiz...mala erap din pala ang dating niya gusto niya puro gyera...

akala mo magaling talaga ito si bong revilla,eh wala namang nagawa sa senado yan.puro porma at papogi lang yan.sa mga kababayan ko stop voting this people sa senado.nakakahiya!

bong naman bayaan muna si duds dyan you have ur time there already. palagay ko alam naman ni mr. manzano ang trabaho nya. sana in private muna lang sinabi kay edu ang mga comento mo sa trabaho nya kasi parang malaking insulto sa pagkatao nya ang mga pinagsasabi mo. parepareho lang naman kayong babaero kaya dapat magkasundo na kayo. pls just work together for the sake of everyone.

Bravo , Edu Mamzano , we are totally in support in your dedication to your job , despite of threats and meddling of irresponsible individual .

...if senator revilla has any comments on OMB operations he should take these with edu privately...better if he'll stop meddling on OMB operations and focus his energy on legislation...

Will the two you please stop bickering? This is a complete waste of energy.

revilla should mind his own business and leave other people to do their job.nakakahiya naghahanap pa ng publicity at other peoples expense,very typical you lost my vote by your blatant hypocrisy!!!!!

STOP all those petty exchange of words and act like a big guy. I do not understand why a senator meddles to this agency. If the senator has recommendations on how to improve the job of Mr. Manzano, he can talk to him privately instead of making nasty comments on television.

Common guys, a lot of people from all over the world are just laughing at you. You are spending tax payers money so BE RESPONSIBLE!

Bong Revilla should be consentrating on the Senate not on photo-ops. C'mon Bong I've heard lagay system is very rampant in Cavite in order to get infra projects. Is this true? Clean up first your backyard before spent time on others business.

so expected from mr revilla who once said in an interview about his entry into politics, "alam niyo naman mahina na ang pelikula ngayon, eh, iba naman"... or in a senate hearing on the wire-tapping incident, "mr. ____ (witness name) in 3 minutes, explain to us why we should believe you...the floor is yours..."(that's the time alloted to a senator) -- clearly, what mr revilla lacks in brains, he makes up for it in brawn! the staff of mr revilla should give him a post-it to constantly remind him that he is in the Senate and that there is a difference between the legislative and executive department! our taxpayers money are going down the drain.

MR. Manzano is a public official and thus must not be onion skinned .
You have 50 agents, is that not enough to conduct surveilance and even a raid..

and sana wag naman puro raid, sana bumaba naman ang presyo ng mga cds para yung buyer wag nang bumili ng pirated films or cd.

this revilla is a clown and he will always be....he does not know anything except romance women and count lizrds in the ceiling of the senate hall...like his father

Like what was said before, Revilla should concentrate more on his responsibility of a senator to legislate laws. There are numerous problems confronting us that needs to be addressed through legislations.

This only show that we are not putting the right people in the government unlike in our neighboring countries like China. Revilla's training is in the movies, it's where he excels , in action, comedies, and acting.

Unlike in a China, where top and middle level government official, trained for lot of years in a government or party organ preparing them for a higher post in their field of expertise. They are riped enough to hold and performed in their position when they accept their appointment.

I'm not saying that there are no corrupt officials there, since corruption in the government is worldwide problem but what I'm trying to stressed is that is the general rule of appointing officials.

Here, we have a public works secretary who was a police officer by his training and career, a environment secretary and now an energy tsar who's training is to do combat, a transportation and communications chief whose training is to catch criminals, senator whose credential are acting prowess and doing comedies.

Where do we go from here?????

The "good" senator should focus his priorities on other things that warrant a senator's time. He was not entrusted with the responsibility of squandering precious time and taxpayers' monies to
be undiplomatic and insensitive.

Doesn't he have any other ways to toot his horn?

Furthermore, if he was truly an effective leader of the people, he could diplomatically set aside private time to talk to Mr. Manzano to discuss his concerns.

Mr. Senator, utilize our media, not to mention our time, for better purposes.

And then, don'dt be a hypocrite by backing off and trying to take higher ground, what - the kitchen heat got too hot?

Good for Mr. Manzano - I truly believe this gentleman is trying his best.

I think Edu has been performing well in OMB. I see no reason why Bong Revilla would just pop out of the blue and create a ruckus out of everything. After all, before this incident, have we heard anything from Bong Revilla in his capacity as senator? Has he commented on national policy issues? What legislation is he pursuing to advance the interests of the majority? So far, I haven't heard anything from that senator - save maybe for the news that he spilled his wild oats on a former beauty queen. Just like Lito Lapid and a few others, Bong Revilla is just a drift wood in the Senate.

And maybe the good senator does not realize that oversight functions do not necessarily mean directly participating in direct law implementation. Maybe his time is better spent reviewing his management and public administration skills, if any at all.

bong.....tama na paninira....you yourself did not pass any bills to better the lives of millions of citizen pinoy who are living in poverty during your term as senator

sen. revilla was voted to the Senate to enact laws. i am being taxed every 15th and 30th of the month for a senator who i don't even hear take the floor to deliberate the most pertinent bills that the once-highly regarded Senate should focus on. go on waste people's money and eye the VP seat :)

I'm all for Chairman Manzano. He's doing a good job - better than actor-turned-senator bong revilla! the nerve of that man to criticize OMB's performance when all he so obviously wants is some media time - mr. bong r, do your job as a Senator (that is if you actually know what u should be doing!), instead of meddling in the responsiblities of capable people. Keep it up, Mr. Edu Manzano!

I agree with nocido and caloocan with their comments. Cut it off Sen. Revilla! Though you are the chair of Senate oversight committee on the OMB. It would had been more fair and things could had been more easy with both of you if you had just left a comment saying such as `Let`s not judge Edu by just 1 job` or `I was once in his position so I know how hard it is to be there and it`s hard` then maybe better, don`t you think so Senator? There`s no question about actor or actress being in politics as long as when they are in their chair as a public servant they at least would stop being an artist so eager being in limelight. Stop talking and start working as a Senator. Make better bills and/or laws that would help OMB instead of trying to judge people with their jobs wherein you yourself don`t seem to be having a good performance in politics. How long had you been there? Hmm? Hurry up! Clock is ticking and so DVD/VCD pirates are moving fast. Don`t you think you need to move fast too?

oopps, was senator revillla got stung by his own remarks? perhaps the good senator reliazed that his comments were uncalled for, thus the "reaching out" efforts if i may say so.

both are fine gentlemen and i cannot blame chairman edu for feeling slighted by the tart remarks. senator revilla should exert more efforts to really show his sincerity in burying the hatchet all in the spirit of christmas.

i find it pathetic, that an actor turned politician turned trapo could chastise the OMB. bakit? anong nagawa mo na ba sa bansa bong? besides magpapogi sa channel 7 at palabas ng kenkoy na pelikula.

by the way Resiklo sucks!

Bong Revilla should never get into an arguement with someone who is as witty & well read as Edu. It exposes Bong Revilla's weaknesses. Do a Noli de Castro. He never got into any confrontation with anyone. (because he knows his limitations?)

This had shown how respectful and dignified Chairman Manzano is, and how much arrogant and uneducated Senator Revilla is. It is in their own choice of words that reveal how they were brought by their parents.

As far as I'm concerned, what was said about the poor can also be said about piracy : it will always be with us. And I'm perfectly ok with considering that original CDs and DVDs cost an arm and a leg.

About these two boys' quarrel, ho hum. This is their nth round and I'm still waiting for a TKO. If I'm Edu, I'll just treat this guy like what he really is - a big nuisance and just go on doing what I do best - host a quiz show.

As for Bong, don't you have more than enough on your hands looking after your numerous offspring? Not to mention their mothers? I won't be surprised if a few more (women and kids) will come out in the future. Likd father, like son.

Dapat ang tanong dito ay sino ba sa 2 ang mas credible? Hindi dahil sa connection hindi dahil sa posisyon. I think it's up to you to decide. It's so unfair to judge people without any basis at all. Siguro mas maigi ka kung itanong natin sa taong bayan o sa mas nakakarami ang tungkol pa rin sa opinion nila. Mahirap kasi magmarunong di ba, tama ba?!

yang ang problema sa mga actor/celeb politician. hanggang sa paglinkod sa bayan eh parang penikula pa rin. put some brains in your skull and get some work done. puro kayo porma at yabang.

Yan kasing si Mr. Revilla mahilig magsimula hindi naman pala kayang tapusin. Talak ng talak pero hindi naman iniisip kung ano sinasabi. Parang kung sinong magaling eh wala din namang alam gawin. Next time kasi bago magsalita, mag-isip muna. Hindi porke senador ka eh magaling ka na.

talagang masakit ang mga salita ni Mr.Bong R. As far as i know Edu is working very hard for this job . Edu , ok ka, bakit hindi mo na lang bitiwan ang OMB , concentrate ka na lang sa hosting mo!!! Delikado pa . piracy is better for the poor than corruption sa gobyerno

So-called Senator Bong Revilla is doing what disgraced fromer President Joseph Estrada did running the Philippine like a mayor for luck of education in governance which is a result of being elected due to pupolarity. Grow up senator Revilla and be a senator and get your photo ops at a senator level.

I don't understand why people would still vote for an ineffective senator like Bong. He is not doing anything in the Senate...co-author lang sya sa mga bills ng ibang senators. Moreover, he gets involved with so many women...in fact he sired another kid with his mistress. He should just put up a harem, whatever....

These two gentlemen should draw the line between public duties and show business. Sen. Revilla should also respect delinieation of responsibilities. If he thinks he's the better OMB chairman, then he can swap places with Mr. Manzano.

Bong Revilla is a senator...in short, a lawmaker...

Edu is the OMB chair...

it's as simple as one plus one....

Isn't it odd that Sen. Revilla decided to renew his cause against the pirates, just when the promo for Resiklo has begun?

Not to mention, just after the news of his child with another woman broke out?

I think it's best Sen Revilla fixes his affairs at home before trying to convince the Filipino people that he is a hero on the big screen and in real life.

Stick to the real issues at hand.

The real heroes of the country are the honest, hardworking Filipino men and women, that do their best to put food on the table, and keep their family intact.

Driving fake robots on the big screen and fathering children out of wedlock in real life hardly makes you the vanguard of Morality, Senator.

nakakahiya yang ginagawa ni bong revilla. nung panahon nya, ubos nga sa quiapo ang pirated cd's pero pagpunta mo sa cavite, nandun lahat...

wala na kasing pinagkakakitaan yang senator na yan kaya pumapapel na lang sa hindi nya trabaho.

ubod pa ng tanga! gusto magraid kahit walang search warrant!

mr senator, tabi ka na lang!

Halatang-halata naman na publicity lang ang habol ni Bong Revilla kaya nakikialam sa lakad ng OMB. May pelikula lang kasi siya.

Bong, you are a lawmaker. Edu is a law enforcer. Don't meddle with Edu. Hindi mo na turf yan. Gumawa ka na lang ng batas na mapapakinabangan.

Kagaya ka lang ba ng tatay mo? Na minsan tinanong on national tv kung ano batas ang naipasa nya, ang sagot ba naman ay ang pag-amyenda sa batas ng bouncing checks law. Tungkol saan yung amyenda? sa mga check na in-issue sa sabong!!!! Anong klaseng batas yan?

Edu, keep up the good work! We believe in you!

Kaya ako pagkakita ko kung magkano ang tax ko na kinakaltas sa sweldo ko, galit na galit ako!

E napupunta lang sa mga katulad ni Bong Revilla ang pinaghirapan ko. Wala naman siya ginagawa sa senado kundi magpapogi.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sinong bong revilla? sabi nila senador daw? ah!! yung anak nung SENIOR na chairman ng committe on silence noon sa senado!!! na walang ginawa sa panahon nya bilang senador kundi magbilang ng butiki sa kisame ng senado! pero si junior hindi member nun kasi masyado syang madaldal pero hindi nag-iisip...tignan nyo, sya na ngayon ang ala "reaching out"... paano napahiya. minsan lang umeksena, sabit pa. Feeling matalino, bopuls naman.

magbilang ka na lang ng anak mo, wag ng kaaway

kaya mga magulang...bigyan ng magandang edukasyon ang inyong mga anak para balang araw hindi sila boboto ng mga bobo sa senado!

Bong you did a wrong move not to shut your mouth tuloy nagmuka kang "tanga". Why don't you just leave Edu to do his job!!! ika nga ni Mon Tulfo "Different folks have different strokes. Revilla had his time, he’s already a senator, although Manzano would have done a better job if their roles were reversed now."

Mahirap para kay Bong Revilla intindihin ang mga comments dito. Besides sa medyo malalim baka di nya abot. MABABAW lng kasi si bong! Yun na ..

bong!!! hindi kayo pinagtatawanan ng mga pirata!!! ikaw lang ang pinagtatawanan ng taong bayan!!! hahahaha!!!
