Will Sen. Robin Padilla end his political career?
Senator Robin Padilla declared in a Facebook comment that he will not run in the 2028 elections.
Many people were surprised that Padilla ran for senator in 2022, and many more raised their eyebrows when he became the number one senator. However, he received support from many people as well, with his political views.
He is known as an ally of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte. Padilla even spent time in The Hague to show support for FPRRD, who is currently detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
In one of their gatherings there, Sen. Padilla fiercely declared that VP Sara is the “Next President of the Philippines,” and this garnered mixed reactions.
Social media personality Jack Argota shared his senatorial lineup for the 2028 elections. This included Chiz Escudero, Alan Peter Cayetano, Rowena Guanzon, Greco Belgica, Vic Rodriguez, Jimmy Bondoc, Mike Defensor, Jayvee Hinlo, Raul Lambino, Richard Mata, Israelito Torreon, and Robin Padilla.
In the comment section, Padilla replied to the social media personality, and he declared that he will not be running next elections. “Maraming salamat po. Pero wag niyo na po ako isama sa line up at hindi na po ako matakbo sa 2028. Mabuhay po,” the actor-turned-politician said.
Argota replied to the Senator, and he said that the Senator could be the running mate of VP Sara. “Idol Sen. Baka pwede kang mag Bise-Presidente kay Presidente Sara Duterte? Kailangan ka po ng taong-bayan.. pls.” the social media personality said.
Some netizens agreed with Argota’s suggestion. Some encouraged him to continue his political career, but others pointed out that politics is not for him. Here are some comments.
Meanwhile, Robin Padilla had his showbiz comeback just recently. He officially signed a contract with Viva, and he announced that he finished filming his upcoming movie Bad Boys 3.
