Actor Alec Baldwin has apologized for his lame-ass "Filipino mail-order bride" joke during his appearance last week on The Late Show: An Apology Regarding My Letterman Appearance and a Clarification on U.S. Autoworkers.

He points out that it was a joke (yeah, we figured that one out), but apologizes to anyone who took offense. He also uses the moment to highlight to serious issue of sex trafficking, and the work of the anti-sex trafficking organization Love146.

I wonder if this means he is now welcome in Philippines... or if he'll still be met with that beat down promised by former action star-turned-politician Sen. Ramon Revilla. Somehow, I get the feeling the they won't forget this too easily...
