Bacoor City Mayor Lani Mercado took her 52nd birthday as an opportunity to say sorry to the public for a blooper she made in a previous Facebook live.

Lani aired her sentiments in a Facebook live video through her husband Ramon "Bong' Revilla Jr.'s official page.

Senator Bong Revilla began the livestream by handing a bouquet of flowers for his wife and greeting her happy birthday and referring to her as God's "greatest gift" to him and their children.

Lani thanked her husband and shared her busy day with the viewers; "Nagtatrabaho po ako," Lani said.

"Puyat din 'yan." Senator Bong added.

Lani then thanked everyone who greeted her, "Thank you po sa lahat ng mga bumati, nakaalala, nakakaappreciate po ng trabaho kahit na maraming ganap.

"Okay lang po 'yan, bahagi po 'yan ng trabaho po."

She recalled her Facebook live the previous week and her mistake in calling COVID-19 as "COVID-14" and apologized for the mistake.

"Sa mga natuwa sa aking pagkakamali, COVID-14, sorry po. Talagang wala na. Marami po talagang iniisip," Lani explained.

"Sorry po sa mga nagalit. Huwag na po kayong magalit. Tapos na po ang Mahal na Araw…bawal po magkamali pala ang mga alkalde.

"Tao lang po, pasensya na, pero ginagawa po talaga namin ang lahat ng aming magagawa para lang malampasan natin itong" Lani said apologetically.

Lani then wished for a COVID-19 cure to be approved soon.

"And we all pray na sana, mahanap na po ang lunas ng COVID-19."

On a lighter note, she said she doesn't mind getting bashed.

"Thank you much, I love you! Trabaho pa rin po, trabaho tayo. I am okay, I am happy. I'm not mad kahit bina-bash," Lani said.

Senator Bong came to his wife's defense and said, "Kahit anong gawin mo, may pula at may pula pa rin.

"Pero ang importante, gawin mo kung anong dapat para sa kanila.

"Katulad ng sabi nga ni Mayora, nagkamali siya, COVID-14…"

He laughingly added, "Medyo nadulas lang siya noon, medyo nagkamali."

Senator Bong noted that nobody's really perfect.

"E, nobody's perfect. Lahat naman tayo, nagkakamali. Very minor.

"Naging katawa-tawa, napaligaya naman niya yung ibang tao.

"Yun nga lang, naging katawa-tawa, pero it's okay."
