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.
