- Lolit Solis defended Bong Revilla Jr. after his loss in the senatorial race and blamed online trolls for spreading fake news about him

- She expressed hope that the negativity might eventually lead to something better for his political career

- Furthermore, Solis expressed disappointment over one of the winning-senators as she could not understand why Filipinos voted for that person

- However, she encouraged Filipinos to move on from the elections and support the leaders in helping the country progress

Veteran showbiz columnist Lolit Solis took to Instagram to express her support for her longtime friend, actor and former senator Bong Revilla Jr., following his unsuccessful bid for re-election in the recent senatorial race.

In her candid post, Solis claimed that online trolls were largely to blame for Revilla’s loss, alleging a targeted campaign to smear his name and derail his political future.

“Nagtagumpay ang mga trolls ni Bong Revilla,” Solis wrote. She speculated that some feared Revilla might run for vice president in the future, prompting a wave of disinformation and negative campaigning. Despite the outcome, she remained hopeful, saying, “Baka naman hindi natin alam mag-boomerang ang paninira nila at maging mas maganda pa ang resulta para sa political career ni Bong.”

Revilla’s camp previously stated they are considering legal action against those who allegedly spread false information about him during the campaign period. Still, Solis urged her friend not to feel disheartened. She pointed out that his wife, Bacoor Mayor Lani Mercado, and son, Cavite Vice Governor Jolo Revilla, both secured electoral wins, suggesting that perhaps Revilla’s loss is just a temporary pause in his political journey.

Furthermore, Solis expressed disappointment over one of the winning-senators as she could not understand why Filipinos voted for that person.

She wrote: “Hindi dapat malungkot si Bong dahil maganda naman ang line up ng mga winners except for one na talagang up to now hindi ko makita ang kasagutan paano nakalusot. Well dahil lahat ng nanalo talagang capable sana nga makasabay siya sa mga ito. Kung titignan mo nga ang line up para siyang sore thumb among them. But it was the choice of the people, so be it. Tapos na election.“

Solis ended her post with a message of hope and unity: “Tapos na election. Isang araw lang ito sa buhay natin kaya naman move on na rin tayo.” She called on all winners to support President Bongbong Marcos in uplifting the lives of Filipinos and building a stronger Philippines.

Lolit Solis is a well-known personality in the Philippine showbiz industry. Born on May 20, 1947, in Sampaloc, Manila, she started her career as an entertainment news writer and later became a talent manager and host of television talk shows.

In another report, Manay Lolit expressed disappointment over the partial senatorial election results, particularly Bong Revilla’s low ranking. She was alarmed by the number of votes Willie Revillame received and said she couldn’t accept the idea of him becoming a senator. Solis claimed that electing someone like Revillame would make the elections feel like a comedy and even called it a bad dream. The columnist urged voters to be wise and to choose the best leaders as a reflection of trust in those who will run the country.

Previously, the veteran columnist posted a heartfelt birthday message for Lani Mercado, who turned 57 on April 13. She praised Lani’s strength, loyalty, and her role as the legal wife of Senator Bong Revilla despite his child outside their marriage. The showbiz columnist emphasized the value of being the legitimate wife and highlighted Lani’s dignity and grace through personal challenges. Lastly, Lolit expressed pride in Lani’s children and called her a loyal, unchanged, and admirable woman through the years.
