Is there truth to this video?

I have read about a viral video of Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr. that is making the rounds in forums, blogs and other platforms of discussion in the net. It is actually a recording of him boasting about how the police force in Bacoor is under him (Update: Apparently, Bong did a reshuffle of police officials in Bacoor according to a Philippine Daily Inquirer report), how he won’t let his brother lose in the fight for the mayoralty race (Update: Bong’s brother Strike Revilla is running for reelection), and how the Malacañang is backing all these up.
Watch the video below and see for yourself.
I read in an entertainment column that Revilla’s claiming the video was spliced. Another claim was that a voice-over talent was used to record this video.
My take on this is that the voice in the video does not really sound like him in some parts. The one who cursed sounds like him. But the other parts seem to be of someone else. I am not sure it’s really him all throughout the video. I do feel like the video was spliced and put together to put him in a bad light.
No, I am NOT a supporter. In fact, I am not a supporter of entertainment personalities jumping to the political bandwagon. What do they really know in running a country, right? But with this video, I think it’s more of a black propaganda against the senator. Then again, his claims of making sure his brother wins or that the police force is under his control plus the Malacañang backing him up are not an altogether far-fetched idea.
What do you think of the video?

cgurado ako, it’s not his voice. you are right, black propaganda lang yan o hindi natin alam they are making this video para magiging popular sya. kagaya nung kay sharon at kiko na may third party daw, i am not sure kung totoo talaga ha pero sabi, gimik lang daw yun for popularity. hay politics talaga…

I am not quite sure. I was trying to listen and it seems that it his voice and some parts of it seems its Ted Failon’s voice(I don’t know probably confused their voices
) but hey its the campaign and election time in the Philippines off course lahat gagawin para masira credibilidad ng Kandidato. But again I dont know.
