"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."
