Ang kalayaan mula sa kulungan ng kanyang mister na si dating Senador Bong Revilla Jr. ang tanging hiling ni Bacoor City Mayor Lani Mercado sa kanyang kaarawan.
Ngayong araw, ika-13 ng Abril, ang ika-48 na kaarawan ng actress-politician.
Ayon kay Mayor Lani, halos tatlong taon nang nakapiit sa Camp Crame si Bong matapos itong makasuhan kaugnay sa pork barrel scam.
Bahagi pa ng mensahe ni Lani sa kanyang Facebook ngayong umaga, “I cry out to You as I wish for my husband's freedom.
"Our justice system truly is testing our patience and endurance but it has been 2 yrs and almost 10 months since he has been incarcerated. Lord I leave all of these to you.”
Narito ang buong Facebook status ni Mayor Mercado:
“As I celebrate my birthday today I thank God for all His blessings despite the circumstances.
"I always believe God doesn't give you challenges in life that you can't handle.God just wants to humble ourselves and go closer to Him.
"Father you have always been my source of strength and my refuge.Continue to guide me and strengthen me as I lead the City of Bacoor and my family.
"I cry out to You as I wish for my husband's freedom.Our justice system truly is testing our patience and endurance but it has been 2 yrs and almost 10 months since he has been incarcerated.
"Lord I leave all of these to you.You know what is right. Equip our lawyers to execute the right steps and enlighten the judges handling my husband's case. This I ask in Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen.”
