This is the sentimental birthday message of Lani Mercado to husband Bong Revilla
Actress Lani Mercado wrote a sentimental birthday message for her husband Senator Bong Revilla on her Instagram post.
The actor-politician is celebrating his 5th birthday inside the Camp Crame Custodial Center. He was detained for his alleged involvement in Pork Barrel controversy.
In June 19, 2014, Bong surrendered to the Sandiganbayan.

Since that, he has been spending his birthday in the detention center. Despite of being away from his family, Bong Revilla still receives support from his wife Lani Mercado.
Despite of the fact that Lani went through a hard time when she learned about Bong’s “pagtataksil”, she is still beside him until now.
Lani said that it was difficult at first but she learned to fight for what she and her family deserved.
She even accepted wholeheartedly the son of her husband from another woman. The actress also considered Bong’s son as her own.

This support can also be felt from the birthday message of the actress to the actor-politician.
Lani wrote that though birthdays are supposed to be happy but they can’t still feel the full happiness.
“It’s a happy occasion but still we don’t feel that happiness since we are waiting for the decision of the Sandiganbayan,” she said.
She added that because of this, they are learning the lessons of “perseverance and patience”.
The actress hopes that her husband will soon have his freedom.
