The Ramon 'Bong' Revilla, JR, Story: The Comic Book

It's finally here! My copy of Bong Revilla Comics #1!  I have a whole stack of these things. There's even a t-shirt to wear while I read my newest favourite comic book.


Actually none of those things are mine. But don't ask why they are on my couch. Instead have a seat, kick up your feet, and read about the comical adventures of Bong Revilla, Senador!























Bong Revilla wants everyone to think this is the end of his story. It is not. Conveniently he left out the very important detail that he is liable for the money stolen because it went through his office. He has been ordered to pay P125 million.

The Office of the Ombudsman has urged the Sandiganbayan to compel former Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla to pay P124.5 million in civil damages to the national treasury, despite his acquittal in a plunder case over the use of his pork barrel funds. 
In a 17-page motion to the antigraft court’s First Division on Jan. 28, state prosecutors said that while Revilla was acquitted of plunder, it did not mean he had no civil liability since the crime was executed through his office.
It's not over until it's over and it's sure not over yet for Bong Revilla until he pays the money or the court clears him of any civil liability. Hopefully, if he is cleared of all liability and if he wins a seat in the Senate, there will be another comic book to tell the story.
