”Ipinakita mo sa lahat na mas matibay parin ang pagiging legal wife kahit kung minsan sinasabi nila na piece of paper lang iyan. At ipinakita mo rin na ang tunay na pagmamahal mas matimbang kesa sa biglaan lang init ng katawan,” she wrote.

Calling Lani the “legal, legitimate, original Mrs. Bong Revilla,” Lolit expressed admiration for how Lani continues to embody loyalty and grace. “Ikaw parin ang legal… sa mata ng mundo,” she emphasized, adding that Lani remained unchanged throughout the years—a quality Lolit finds rare and precious.

No matter what they do, ikaw parin ang legal, legitimate Mrs Bong Revilla sa mata ng mundo. Para bang kailangan pang ilaban.

I love you Lani dahil all these years hindi ka nagbago, mula nuon hangga ngayon nanatili kang isang loyal na tao. Ipinagmamalaki ko na alaga kita at isang ‘anak’ para sa akin. Isa kang mabuting tao at maipagmamalaking isang mabuting babae.
