"Wala na po 'yung tatay ko (My father is
gone). Please pray for him," Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr.
said in a video posted on Facebook.
The younger Revilla said his father passed away at around
5:20 p.m. "He is now free from physical pain and is in the loving arms of
our Creator," he said in a statement.
Ramon Bong Revilla, Jr. “After 93 full years, our father
former Senator Ramon Revilla, Sr. succumbed to heart failure at 5:20 this
afternoon. He is now free from physical pain and is in the loving arms of our
Creator.”
Thank you very much for the love and prayers, as we ask for
continuous prayers for the eternal repose of his soul.
The 93-year-old movie icon turned politician was rushed to
the hospital late March, but was reported to be in stable condition in June.
On Thursday, the younger Revilla called for prayers for his
father, whom he said was "going through a rough time."
Revilla, Sr. was a multi-awarded actor who won a Senate seat
in 1992 and served as lawmaker until 2004.
He was known for authoring the Public Works and Highways
Infrastructure Program Act of 1995, which pushed for infrastructure development
to sustain the country's economy.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque expressed Malacañang's
condolences, calling the Revilla patriarch a "respected movie icon and
public servant."
