    Close this MANILA, Philippines – Action star-turned-Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. yesterday blamed fellow actor and television host Edu Manzano for what he called a botched raid on a Makati City mall where pirated video and music discs were being sold.

    Last Wednesday, Revilla, who chairs the Senate committee on public information and mass media, joined a team of Optical Media Board agents who raided the Makati Cinema Square on Chino Roces Avenue.

    When the team got to the mall, however, most of the stalls were empty.

    The OMB team was supposed to go to another pirated video discs “hot spot” in Quiapo, Manila, according to Revilla, but decided to cancel the operation.

    “Chairman Manzano has a lot of explaining to do and it should start from his last-minute backing out from appearing in the raid. He said he was sick. It’s absurd that he had a quick recovery,” said Revilla in a statement.

    Revilla was Manzano’s predecessor in the OMB which was previously called the Video Regulatory Board. The two had previously tangled over the OMB’s performance in raiding establishments or places where pirated music and film discs are sold.

    The proliferation of pirated discs is being blamed for the huge losses suffered by the local movie and recording industries.

    Revilla justified his participation in the raid, saying he was the chair of the joint congressional oversight committee on the OMB.

    “He (Manzano) must know that there is an oversight committee. Was he embarrassed about the outcome of the operation that’s why he is reacting? I just said I was not satisfied,” said Revilla.

    During his morning television show yesterday, Manzano defended himself, saying that Revilla’s participation in Wednesday’s raid was not properly coordinated with the OMB.

    He added that when the senator arrived at the Makati Cinema Square, the raid was already over.

    Manzano also denied that he backed out at the last minute because of an illness. “It was OMB Executive Director Rosendo Meneses who said that I was at the hospital, but I wasn’t sick. Later, I was at the OMB office, meeting with people and signing documents.”

    He explained that he “didn’t agree to raid Quiapo because we only had 50 people. When Revilla was OMB head, he sent 200 people there.”

    Of Revilla’s criticisms, Manzano asserted, “We are just doing our job. We are commended all over the world, except in our own country.”

    I saw the news this morning. With those two clowns fighting, the only people laughing are the music and video pirates.

    Malaki ata kinita ni Bong sa VRB in the laser disc rental era. Dati kasi may "sticker" dapat yung lahat na laser disc na for rent. Each sticker costs P500 to P1000 depending on when you had it registered. Can you spell "kotong"?
