He should know that our country is well known as a "Mail Order Bride Country". His reaction towards the actor threatening him with violence "Mayhem" if the actor comes to the Philippines is uncalled for. Such reaction is childish and shows lack of restraint among people who are on power. I believed the best reaction to this is to invite Alec Baldwin to see for himself what our country can offer. Not just in terms of its beauty but also among our people. We as a country have a lot to offer. We may not be rich and powerful as a nation but our heritage, our land and its people are our assets in showcasing it to doubters like Alec Baldwin. Yes, he was arrogant and lack the sensitivity in detailing our flaws, but he did us a big favor by putting the issue front page. As a nation we must show tolerance to such degrading comments so we dont become the issue. I have a message for Mr. Bong Revilla, show mr Baldwin how much our country have change for the better. Invite him to visit and show him that inspite of our problems we are doing everything we can to stop the proliferation of the Mail Order Bride business. That we as people have a lot to offer more than the exploitation of our women. Finally, dont be such a cowboy, and dont threaten anyone with violence especially people who have access to the world. It will create more problems for our people. Remember cowboy's are a thing of the past, and this type of character has been discredited within the last 8 years. Tough talk must be back-up with wisdom for it to be effective. I give you credit for standing-up to our women, but you must know you are not well known outside the Philippines. Alec Baldwin is a famous actor and I'm sure he doesnt need to visit the our country more than you want to visit the United States. Alec Baldwin doesnt need us, but in this case you may need Alec Baldwin to showcase our country.

Which is better, fiancee visa or marriage visa? Thanks so much. It would help me in a lot of aspects. God bless and more power to your organization.
