SENATOR Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., Hayden Kho Jr. and Dr. Vicky Belo finally made peace to each other during their spiritual trip to the Holy Land, Israel.

Kho surprised his Instagram followers when he posted a photo with Revilla with a caption: “But this is really the most amazing part of the trip – a miracle. No judgments please and no sour comments. All heavens rejoice for another soul pledged for Christ.”

He also shared a verse from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

Kho, Revilla and his wife Cavite Representative Lani Mercado and Belo, meanwhile, were in one photo, smiling. Belo posted the picture with the majestic pyramids of Egypt as background.

Belo said the reconciliation was a good way to start the Holy Week.

“I’ve spent the last 2 weeks following Jesus footsteps which made him even more real to me. I know I can never thank Him enough for what He’s done for me but I will spend the rest of my life TRYING to live a life pleasing to God,” she added.

Revilla and Belo’s friendship was tainted when the actor-turned-politician led the Senate investigation on the sex video scandal of Kho and sexy actress Katrina Halili in 2009.

The senator also pushed for the revocation of Kho’s license as a doctor.

They were not in speaking terms for years but both were surprised upon discovering they belong to one group which took them to a two-week journey to the Promised Land.

The tour group returned to Manila on Sunday. (MNS)

Aquino III (MNS photo) MANILA  (Mabuhay) – President Benigno Aquino III took the offensive two days after Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. accused him of meddling in the impeachment trial of former Chief Justice Renato Corona. On Wednesday’s groundbreaking ceremony of the Skyway Stage 3 Project, Aquino lashed at his critics whom he said have nothing better to do but scoff at his administration’s achievements. He did not specifically mention Revilla but made several allusions to the actor-turned-politician. “Ito ang daang matuwid. Hindi pinanday ng pantasya, at mas lalong hindi gawa-gawa na parang eksena sa isang pelikula – totoo at kongkretong [ang] mga proyektong hatid ng ating tuwid at mabuting pamamahala para sa kapakanan ng sambayanang Pilipino,” Aquino said. In a privilege speech Monday, Revilla claimed Aquino personally asked him to vote to convict ousted Chief Justice Renato Corona in 2012. “’Yan ba ang daang matuwid?” said Revilla, who is known for his “Panday” and fantasy movies. Aquino, however, said the country’s progress will not be hampered by those who just wish to make themselves the hero. “Anumang pilit ng ilang magpapogi at magpabida para sa pansariling interes lang, ay wala pa ring makapipigil sa kolektibo nating pag-arangkada bilang isang bayan,” he said. Earlier, the Palace confirmed Aquino’s meeting with Revilla, but said it was only to verify reports that senators were being pressured for votes. On Tuesday, the President even admitted having met senators other than Revilla, but said he only wanted to “lessen” the pressure Read More …
