According to the actor, if his Ninang Miriam is still alive right now and she will learn that his friends are encouraging him to run, she will definitely oppose it.
“Sasabihin niya sa mukha ko mismo na hindi ka nababagay sa senado!” Robin Padilla related.
He added that Santiago would say to him that he is not fit to mingle with the people in the Senate.
“Hindi ka nababagay sa mga taong palara! Sa mga taong diniDios ang pera! Sa mga taong sumasamba sa Piso!” the actor anticipated that the late Senator would say this.
Furthermore, Robin said that his godmother in wedding would say, “that is no place for lions because that place is a crocodile farm.”
