Agot Isidro on Revilla’s plan if re-elected as senator: Is that really your agenda?
Actress Agot Isidro did not mince words as she reacted on Senatorial hopeful Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr.’s legislative agenda to go after those who accused him of plunder.
Known for voicing out her opinions especially on political matters, Agot on Friday, December 14, quoted a tweet from GMA News that read, “Bong Revilla should he win as Senator in 2019: I have legislative agenda against my false accusers. Dapat may pang-counter (There has to be a counter).”
In her caption, the 52-year-old actress wrote, “‘Yan talaga ang agenda mo? Dedma lang talaga sa mga naghihirap (Is that really your agenda? You really do not care about the poor?)“
Shrugging off Bong’s remark, Agot then said, “Ok, copy po. Bye.”
The Sandiganbayan earlier acquitted Bong from plunder charges after it was not proven that he amassed a P224.5 million worth of kickbacks through the pork barrel scam.
The former senator had spent four years in detention at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center in Camp Crame.
Reacting to Agot’s tweet, some netizens agreed with the actress as they also expressed their hot takes about the Senatorial candidate.
“Siya na itong nagnakaw siya pa ang galit at gustong gumanti (He was the one who stole the money but he has the guts to be angry and take revenge),” netizen @_baruroy tweeted.
Meanwhile, Twitter user @KvinLee1 said, “Bob* lang ang boboto dito… mga Pinoy matuto naman tayo (Only idiots will vote for him… We, Pinoys, should learn).”
Social media user @Iamjes_urbano, on the other hand, said he if Bong will win in the May 2019 election, he will just fly to another country instead of staying in the Philippines.
Netizen @yohanvader, on his tweet, wrote, “These are the times I’m happy [na] Canadian na ako (that I’m already a Canadian). God bless the Philippines.”
Twitter user @RobinsonTuna shared that he rarely agrees with Agot’s opinion, but her comment on Bong’s agenda has a point.
Also throwing strong words to Bong, netizen @ Kataleia6 tweeted, “Sobra na kapal ng mukha niyan. Grabe!!! Wala na talaga pupuntahan bansang ito ‘pag puro kriminal na mapapa upo. Mula sa Presidente. Magsigising naman kayo (He is so thick-skinned. This country won’t go anywhere if criminals will obtain a seat in the government, starting from the president. Please wake up)!!!!”
Bong earlier said he will not return the P124.5-million to the national treasury, claiming that he did not steal anything from the country.

“Ano ang isasauli ko? Wala naman akong kasalanan. Nagsalita na ang korte na wala akong kasalanan (What will I return. I am not at fault. The court already cleared me),” he said.
Although cleared of plunder charges, Bong still faces 16 other cases of graft before the Sandiganbayan in connection to the pork barrel scam. He, however, already posted a P480,000 bail bond for his temporary liberty.
