A beautiful person inside and out - DIRECT LINE by Boy Abunda

Johnny Revilla is famous for many reasons. He is the only son of famous parents Armando Goyena and the original Camay girl Paquita Revilla. His sisters are all smart and beautiful. His wife is gorgeous and talented Janet Basco. But I like Johnny because he is a beautiful person – inside and out.

What a pleasant evening it was when Johnny invited me to dinner at Fernando, a fine dining restaurant at the Rockwell Club where Johnny works as PR consultant. Johnny, Bettina Aspillaga (my production manager) and I talked about politics, food, friends, women, men and gays. As we talked, there was political chaos brewing at the venerable EDSA Shrine. Our conversation swayed like a wild pendulum – we would talk about the senatorial candidates in an instance and before I could finish a sentence, we were already talking about the most beautiful women in the country. And Johnny would get a text message from his youngest daughter and after reading it, someone said that Janet, his wife, is sexier now than 17 years ago. What a relaxing dinner it was!

And Johnny Revilla looks younger and better now. Just before dinner, he brought us to a cheese and wine tasting affair at the mezzanine of Fernando. Everything was good – conversation was excellent. After dinner, he brought us to the spa, the gym and to the other food outlets – The Blue Shade by the pool, Palm Grove Coffee Shop. Oh, Rockwell Club’s pool is part of paradise. There’s a lap pool that is four to five feet deep, a kiddie pool and a 12 feet deep pool. There’s also a children’s center where kids can play computer games and playstation. There’s also a beauty salon and Planet shop – a sports shop beside the gym.

God, no wonder Johnny looks so good. We agreed that some of my Private Conversations can be done at the Rockwell Club.

Rockwell is fabulous. It’s more fabulous because of Johnny!
