Robin Padilla: ‘Trillanes is the enemy, not Daniel Padilla’
Robin defends his nephew after Daniel tells non-voters to 'shut up.' Meanwhile, Robin's wife, Mariel, says she is no longer voting for LP vice presidential bet Leni Robredo.

MANILA, Philippines – Robin Padilla came to the defense of his nephew Daniel Padilla, who faced criticism after making remarks about outspoken social media users. (READ: The 2016 presidential candidates and their celebrity supporters)

Speaking at an event campaigning for Liberal Party standard-bearer Manuel Roxas II, Daniel drew flak for telling non-voters to “shut up.” The teen actor’s video went viral. ([WATCH] Daniel Padilla to ‘know-it-alls’: Shut up if you’re not a voter)

In response, Robin, Daniel’s uncle and a staunch supporter of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, said:

“Ang batang ito ay mabuting anak sa kanyang tatay, lalo sa kanyang ina. Ang batang ito ay mapagbigay sa kanyang mga kapatid sa ina at ama. Ang batang ito ay malambing na apo sa lahat ng kanyang mga lola at lolo. Ang batang ito ay magalang na pamangkin sa lahat ng kanyang mga tito at tita. Ang batang ito ay mapagmahal sa kanyang mga pinsan at kamag-anak. Ang batang ito ay tapat sa kanyang mga kaibigan. Ang batang ito ay alipin ng kanyang mga taga-hanga. Ang batang ito ay simbolo ng bawat nating pagkamulat.”

(This boy is a good son to his father, especially to his mother. This boy is generous to his siblings. This boy is affectionate to his grandparents. This boy is a respectful nephew to his uncles and aunts. This boy is loving to his relatives. This boy is loyal to his friends. This boy is a slave to his fans. This boy is a symbol of our awareness.)

Robin then alleged that Daniel’s viral video was a diversionary tactic of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s political party, Magdalo Para sa Pilipino Sectoral Party Organization (Magdalo): “Paumanhin sa lahat ng kanyang nasaktan. Hinihingi ko ang suporta ng aking mga kapanalig sa [kampanya ni Duterte] na wag sakyan ang diversionary tactics ng Magdalo at alisin natin ang atensyon kay Trillanes. Si Antonio Trillanes ang kalaban, hindi ang batang ito.”

(I’m sorry for the people he’s hurt. I’m asking my allies in [Duterte’s campaign] not to go along with the diversionary tactics of Magdalo and divert our attention from Trillanes. Antonio Trillanes is the enemy, not this boy.)

“Arbor ko na ang pamangkin ko na anak ng aking kapatid na si Kuya Rommel na apo ng aking ina na si Mama Eva. Mabuhay ang tunay na pagbabago,” Robin finished.

(I’m protecting my nephew, the son of my brother Rommel and the grandson of my mother Eva. Long live true change.)

Ang batang ito ay mabuting anak sa kanyang tatay lalo sa kanyang INA. Ang batang ito ay mapagbigay sa kanyang mga kapatid sa ina at ama. Ang batang ito ay malambing na APO sa lahat ng kanyang mga Lola at Lolo.Ang batang ito ay magalang na pamangkin sa lahat ng kanyang mga Tito at Tita.

Ang batang ito ay simbolo ng bawat nating pagkamulat. Paumanhin sa lahat ng kanyang nasaktan hinihingi ko ang suporta ng aking mga kapanalig sa na wag sakyan ang diversionary tactics ng Magdalo at alisin natin ang atensyon kay Trillanes.

This comes on the heels of Trillanes filing a plunder complaint against Duterte, accusing him of having ghost employees in the Davao City government.

Before that, Trillanes accused Duterte of not declaring P211 million in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

Trillanes also angered many of Duterte’s supporters when he released an anti-Duterte campaign ad, which shows clips of the tough-talking mayor’s strong remarks and children criticizing his behavior.

Even though Robin supports Duterte and Daniel supports Roxas, Robin has said in the past that Daniel is old enough to make his own decisions: “May sarili na siyang desisyon. Kung ano man ang maging desisyon niya, eh yun ang pinaniniwalaan niya, e gawin niya. Malaya tayong lipunan. Kanya-kanya tayong opinyon.”

(He’s free to make his own decisions. Whatever decision he makes, that’s what he believes in, he should stand by it. This is a free country. We have our own opinions.)

Mariel Rodriguez’s change of heart

Robin’s wife, Mariel, is a supporter of Duterte as well, but has said in the past that she supports the Liberal Party’s vice presidential bet, Leni Robredo.

Following Trillanes’ anti-Duterte ad, Mariel said on Instagram that she has withdrawn her support for Robredo: “Because of the black propaganda (though I believe she has a good heart) I have decided to change my Vice President. It’s not her… it’s her party.”


 

Mariel has not said who she is now supporting for vice president. – Rappler.com
