Bong Revilla celebrates 50 action-packed years in showbiz

As the actor politician's top-rating sitcom airs its season finale tonight, he promises more shows, movies for fans

Amid the irrepressible glitz of Philippine entertainment, few stars have radiated as brightly and endured as remarkably as action sensation turned Senator Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr. Proof is the fact that one of the biggest names in showbiz is marking 50 illustrious years as an actor this August, while still very much on top of his game.

Tonight will, in fact, see the first season finale of Sen. Bong's top-rated Sunday night sitcom on GMA Network, 'Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis,' with preparations for the second one well underway.
