Manila, Philippines- a Filipino senator was enraged upon watching Alec Baldwin joke about getting a Filipina mail-order bride.

Senator Ramon Revilla, said on Monday that Baldwin will face violence if he ever steps foot on the Philippine soil. The senator says that the actor’s remark was “insensitive and uncalled for”-an insult to the Filipino nation. “Apparently, Baldwin is unaware about mail-order brides to be against the law in the country,” Revilla continued.

The Emmy-award winning actor was caught saying that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point… or a Russian one,” while chatting with David Letterman on “The Late Show.”

“Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he’ll see mayhem,” Revilla provoked.

Baldwin, 51, is divorced from ex-wife Kim Basinger, whom he has a 13-year old daughter named Ireland.

Senator Revilla meanwhile is also a famous action star in the Philippines who continues to appear on local television.

    QUOTE:

    ur shows here are far more insulting compared to the ones being shown abroad. Come to think of it of all nationalities being negatively commented to, only the Filipinos are the ones who do such big moves. Look at the Chinese people, did you see them walking down the street & protesting against Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago’s words? Have you encountered the Japanese people protesting against our media for making fun of their fellow Japanese, Ya Chang? Honestly I find our move like somewhat childish, we are like a child na mahilig mangasar pero kapag siya ang inaasar napakadaling mapikon. Another one is, we don’t like to accept the truth. Kris is right we are too egoistic enough to think that we are the best & so we think any negative publicity will hinder our ego. Sometimes i feel we need to learn how to use our patriotism properly coz with the way i see how some of our kababayans are doing it, it makes me feel somewhat ashamed of being a Filipino.

    Lesson learned here, before we do anything against those foreign media we should learn to look first on our own actions. There is the saying that goes like this ” Don’t try to remove the speck of other person’s eye w/o first removing the speck of your own eyes”
