Poe to Revilla: You did the right thing
March 29, 2001 | 12:00am
"You did the right thing."
Thus said action king Fernando Poe Jr. when he visited Cavite Gov. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. in the latter’s residence in Bacoor, Cavite last Monday.
"You just stood by your principle and the people whom you were sworn to serve," Poe added, referring to the stand Revilla and his wife Lani made during the EDSA 2 people’s uprising.
Breaking his long-imposed silence since EDSA 2, Poe reassured the Revilla couple, his godchildren, of his full support for Bong’s re-election bid and Lani’s candidacy for mayor of Bacoor.
Poe said the couple are the persons best qualified to serve the residents of Cavite.
"Nasa likod ninyo ako (I’m behind you)," Revilla’s media office quoted Poe as telling the couple.
"Susuportahan ko ang kandidatura ninyong mag-asawa at ng buong Lakas-NUCD dito sa Cavite (I will support your candidacies and of the entire Lakas-NUCD here in Cavite)," Poe was further quoted as saying.
Poe also called on Caviteños to resist being used by traditional politicians known for vote-buying.
He also denounced the political opponents of the Revilla couple for resorting to dirty tricks to besmirch their good names, and called on mediamen to resist being used by these politicians.
During the surprise visit, Poe also asked the couple to lend a helping hand to fellow actor Bert Olivar, who is old and ailing and needs some medical assistance.
