What Can Lani Mercado Say About Son Jolo Revilla Courting Kris Bernal?

CONG. LANI MERCADO originally thought she’s just playing a special role as Dal’Lang, the mother of Marian Rivera in “Amaya”. “E, humaba nang humaba ang role ko,” she says. “I’m there pala from start to end.” Read, Marian Rivera And Co-Stars Sad Now That Amaya Is About To End.

The show is ending this coming Friday and she got an offer to do another soap but she begged off. “I chose to accompany my son Jolo to Stanford in California for his checkup kung bakit recurrent ang migraine niya. His dad (Sen. Bong Revilla) is supposed to be with us kasi may migraine din siya, but he already left ahead of us. Kasi ako, tinatapos ko pa ang taping ng ‘Amaya’ and Jolo, taping ‘Binondo Girl’ naman. So ako na lang ang sasama sa kanya. We’ll be gone for two weeks. Bong wasn’t able to wait for us kasi he has to be back here next week for the Corona impeachment hearings sa Senate.”

What’s the new show offered to her? “’Hiram na Puso’ as the mom of Kris Bernal.” See article, Kris Bernal Admits Jolo Revilla Is Courting Her And They'Re Dating.

Oh, and how does she feel that Kris and Jolo are now rumored to be an item? “I have no objections. Mabait naman si Kris. Naisama na siya sa amin ni Jolo noong New Year’s Eve. He told me, Mama, may bisita ako, and at past 12 midnight nga, dumating na si Kris. I got to work with her na before in ‘All My Life’ and she’s okay.”
