Alec Baldwin, the Long Island thespian famous for many film roles including "The Cooler," "Married to the Mob" and "The Departed" and for his Emmy winning role in "30 Rock," won't be vacationing anytime soon in the Philippines. © Sylvain Gaboury / PR PhotosBaldwin allegedly cracked wise about ordering a Filipino mail-order bride on the May 12th The Late Show, telling David Letterman that he would love to have more children, and was "thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point ... or a Russian one."It didn't go over well in the island nation, home to Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao, reigning light Welterweight champion of the world, who recently flattened Mancunian Ricky Hatton in the second round.The Associated Press reports that Philippine Sen. Ramon Revilla said Monday that Baldwin's comment was "insensitive and uncalled for" and an insult to millions of Filipinos.Revilla labeled Baldwin "arrogant" and apparently ignorant as mail-order brides are outlawed in the country."Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he'll see mayhem," Revilla, an ex actor reportedly said.
