Robin Padilla: No politics in tirade vs Alan Cayetano
Robin says he is not allied with the Tingas, the political rivals of the Cayetanos in Taguig City

MANILA, Philippines – Actor Robin Padilla said there is no politics involved in his criticism of Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano.

On Instagram, Robin answered the lawmaker, who in an interview in DZMM said that Robin is allied with the Tingas, the Cayetanos’ rivals in Taguig. 

  

“Sir Senator Alan Cayetano, una po sa lahat ay wala pong kulay ng pulitika ang aking mga mungkahi patungkol sa inyo sa usapin ng BBL. Pangalawa, dahil po nabanggit ninyo ang nakalipas, paumanhin po pero wala po akong matandaan na ako’y nakipag-alyansa sa mga Tinga noong 2010. Baka po ako’y nakalimot pero ang malinaw po sa aking alaala ay ang 2013 eleksyon. Pangatlo, gusto ko rin pong linawin na hindi po ako direktang nakasuporta sa mga Tinga, ako po ay sumusuporta sa aking asawa at sa kanyang kapatid na kaibigan si Rica Tinga.

(Sir Senator Alan Cayetano, first of all, there is no political color in what I said regarding the BBL. Second, now that you’ve mentioned the past, forgive me but I do not recall I was ever allied with the Tingas in 2010. I might have forgotten but what is clear to me was the 2013 elections. Third, I also want to clarify that I am not directly supporting the Tingas. I am supporting my wife and her sibling who are friends with Rica Tinga.)

Pang-apat, kung makakakuha po kayo ng aking talumpati noong gabi ng kampanya, malinaw po doon ang aking hangarin sa mga Tinga at ang aking kampanya laban sa Political Dynasty at pork barrel. Pang-lima po, wala po akong natatanggap na imbitasyon mula sa lokal na gobyerno ng Taguig para mabisita ang inyong mga magagandang gawa. Pang-anim, sir senator wala akong personal na hangarin laban sa inyo, ako po’y isang Rebolusyonaryo na ang hawak ay Katotohanan. Maraming salamat po sa pagbibigay ng Panahon sa akin mga saloobin. Mabuhay ang Katipunan at ang mga anak ng Bayan,” Robin wrote.

(Fourth, if you get a copy of my speech during the night of the campaign, it is clear that my intention regarding the Tingas is my campaign against political dynasty and pork barrel. Fifth, I do not recall getting an invitation from the local government of Taguig to visit that beautiful things you’ve done. Sixth, sir senator, I do not have anything against you, I am a revolutionary backed up by the truth. Thank you very much for giving time to my thoughts. Long live the Katipunan and the children of the country.)

According to an Inquirer report, the exchange of words between Robin and the senator started when Robin, who attended a forum Friday, March 27, said that lawmakers such as Alan Peter should study the history of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) before giving comments. Robin is a Muslim convert.

Alan Peter is one of the senators who voiced out concern on the BBL, following the Mamasapano clash which killed 44 elite cops, along with 17 Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fighters, and 3 civilians. (HIGHLIGHTS: Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s privilege speech)

The senator was a co-author of the BBL which aims to create an enhanced autonomous region in Muslim Mindanao – the culmination of the government’s peace process with the MILF. But he withdrew his support for the bill in the wake of the January 25 Mamasapano clash, which has generated public outrage, and has since become its staunchest critic. – Rappler.com
