Don Ramon had 3 times the number of Estrada’s mistresses and, it would turn out, 8 times the number of Estrada’s children. How then could a senator with a monthly salary of only P35,000 to P40,000, and investments of only P416,000 to P2.12 million in his first 9 years in government have possibly supported so many children? Now 86, the former actor, producer, and senator is no ordinary Lothario. He has fathered at least 72 children by 16 women, according to one spokesperson. Philippine Star Entertainment editor Ricky F. Lo gave a higher count of 81. While the number of mistresses and children he had to support apparently increased, his core assets remained intact, and even increased. Overall, his net worth of P5.98 million when he first became a lawmaker leapt to P116.86 million in 2007. When Revilla, who chaired the influential Senate committee on public works, stepped down as senator in mid-2004, he was the 7th richest in the chamber, with a net worth of P57.61 million. He was immediately appointed by his party mate in Lakas, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, as chair of the PRA (formerly called the Public Estates Authority), “the clearing house of all reclamation projects in the country.” His net worth increased to P88.56 million in just half a year. -- RAPPLER Click the link for more details of this overwhelming exposé... rappler/newsbreak/42959-wealth-old-man-revilla
