Sen. Robin Padilla once again showed his support for FPRRD
Sen. Robin Padilla and several other loyal supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte have joined in their “Bring Him Home!” campaign.
Padilla is one of the allies of the FPRRD in the Senate. He has been very supportive of the former president and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte. The “Bad Boy of Philippine Cinema” is also fervent when it comes to opposing the arrest of Duterte.
Previously, Padilla, along with Duterte supporters, started a signature campaign, and just recently, they presented this to the Supreme Court.
Based on the article in Bandera, the group led by action star-turned-public servant went to the Supreme Court office on Monday afternoon, March 30, to once again request Duterte’s immediate return to the Philippines.
The former president is still in the detention facility of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands, because of the “crimes against humanity” case he is facing.
Padilla’s group’s request is to expedite the processing of petitions related to Duterte’s cases at the ICC.
“Bring Him Home!” was Sen. Robin Padilla’s opening statement as he headed to the Supreme Court with singer-actress Mocha Uson and other allies of the Duterte family.
“Nandito po kami muli para dalhin po namin sa ating Kataas-taasang Hukuman ang mga nakalap po naming pirma,” he said.
The Senator also emphasized that the Filipino people have spoken. “Mga kababayan po natin na humihiling na sana po ay desisyunan na ng ating mga hukom ‘yong amin pong hiling na patungkol po sa ating dating Pangulo na Rodrigo Roa Duterte. May dala po kaming 304,000 na mga pirma,” he said.
Joey Cruz, the spokesperson of Duterte supporter said that they were able to get over 300,000 signatures within four months. “Total signatures po na nakalap namin, after four months is 304,304 signatures,” he said.
He said that they expect more signatures to support the former president, and they will once again make a “submission” to the Supreme Court. Padilla’s group also assured that all the signatures they collected were without compensation
Meanwhile, during one part of the gathering, Sen. Robin even carried a suitcase containing documents and signatures of Duterte’s supporters.
