Of all the people who won a seat in the new Senate Robin Padilla is certainly the least qualified. The man has no inkling of how the political machine works. But don't worry he is going to surround himself with qualified people to tell him what to do.

Potential winner in the 2022 senatorial race Robin Padilla was considering hiring Atty. Salvador Panelo as his “legislative consultant, adviser, and mentor.”
The political rookie in a Facebook post admitted that he would need Panelo’s help in crafting laws in the Senate, notably in his plan to push the country’s shift to federalism.
(I need someone in legislative discussions in the Senate. Charter change will not be easy since this would go against the rule of oligarchs under the 1987 Constitution.)
(Panelo will be my legislative consultant, adviser, and mentor.)
In effect Robin Padilla will be a front for Salvador Panelo and that is quite fitting. Panelo was the defense lawyers for the Marcos family in their ill-gotten wealth cases.
There's a lot of talk going around that we must all give this massively unqualified dimwit who has no business being in the Senate the "benefit of the doubt."

Zubiri said Padilla may end up being the chairperson of the Senate committee on constitutional amendments since he has asked for it and no other senator would like to head it.
(He should study the Constitutional amendments and revision of laws well. Laws that need to be amended, especially in issues surrounding criminal law and other corporate law, will pass through him and his committee.)
Zubiri said the committee is usually headed by a lawyer since revising laws, apart from Constitutional amendments, is also part of the tasks of the committee.
(In truth, lawyers usually head that committee but he wants it so he may show an effort for it.)
His only one appeal to the incoming neophyte senator: study well.
“I have to appeal to him and bigyan ko ng payo at advice, mag aral nang mabuti. Kailangan mag-aral ka nang mabuti kasi ang kausap mo diyan justices eh, constitutionalists,” Zubiri said.
Zubiri said that there is nothing wrong with hiring lawyers as part of his staff, but said Padilla would still have to study since he will be the one talking on the floor and debating with resource persons.
Zubiri, however, said that Padilla should be given the “benefit of the doubt” since he can study for the job before assuming the post.
Give him the benefit of the doubt because he can study for the job before assuming the post!?? Do you hire someone as a surgeon because they really want the job and then give them the benefit of the doubt because they can study before they assume the post?? Of course not! This man is not a lawyer and he cannot be expected to digest the law in a matter of days or weeks before assuming the job as Chairman of the Constitutional Amendments Committee. Zubiri is showing what a poor leader he is by encouraging Robin Padilla to be given the chair of any except the most basic committee and even then such a job would be leagues above his pay grade.
Once his term officially begins and he has to debate or otherwise speak to his colleagues Robin Padilla says he will being doing so only in Tagalog.

Neophyte Senator-elect Robin Padilla said Tuesday he is “100 percent” ready to join the Senate, but will opt to debate in Filipino, saying he would be facing Filipino legislators, “not Americans.”
Padilla, who topped the 2022 senatorial elections, attended a legislative briefing in the Senate ahead of the opening of the 19th Congress in July.
“One-hundred percent,” said Padilla when asked about his readiness to join the Senate.Padilla said he is also ready to debate with his fellow legislators, but will do so using the vernacular, and not the English language.
(Tagalog… for one, I will not be facing Americans for me to speak in English. If I am facing Americans, well I’m willing to debate. But they are Filipinos, so let’s use Tagalog.)
Padilla topped the senatorial elections after receiving over 26 million votes.
As a neophyte senator, Padilla took lessons at the Development Academy of the Philippines in preparation for his role as a legislator.
Asked if he found preparing for the Senate to be easy or difficult, Padilla said: “Lahat madali. Wala namang mahirap kasi gusto mong gawin eh.”
(Everything’s easy. Nothing is difficult when you like what you’re doing.)
(If you wanna do something, it’s easy. It was just different. I was summa cum laude in cutting classes back in the day.)
Robin Padilla is so stupid that he thinks only Americans speak English. Incredible. It's like he has no idea that Canada, Ireland, Singapore, India, and the United Kingdom all speak English. English is the lingua franca of the world. It is spoken EVERYWHERE by billions of people. Filipinos are actually sought out to teach English as a second language to South Koreans. Tagalog is only one of many Philippine dialects which means Padilla is literally shutting out Cebuanos, Visayans, and others by insisting on using only that dialect.
His arrogance is through the roof. He took a few classes to prepare him to be a Senator and he says it's easy?? Sure it's easy if you are a slacker who has no idea what he is doing. And then he brags about "cutting classes back in the day." What a moron.
His refusal to use English because he "will not be facing Americans" is full of hypocrisy and stupidity. What does he have against Americans when he claims to be more American than English speaking Americans because he has Native American blood? His two children are American citizens!

Robin Padilla justified his and Mariel Rodriguez’s decision to have the TV host give birth to their second child, Gabriela, in the United States.
Rodriguez gave an update about her pregnancy last Saturday, Sept. 28, days after she flew to the US to prepare for the delivery of their second child.
“Another update is her head is now down getting ready for delivery,” she said in her Instagram post on Saturday. “[Please] pray with me I really want to push for another vaginal birth.”“Enjoying the last stretch of my pregnancy,” Rodriguez added.
Many of her fans wished her well, but one Instagram user, a certain @georg_supreme, did not seem to be in favor of Rodriguez’s giving birth in the US.
The netizen, addressing US President Donald Trump’s Instagram account (@realdonaldtrump), pointed out that Rodriguez only goes to the US to give birth. He/she added that it made Rodriguez a “birther,” and that it was not allowed.
After being asked by another Instagram user about what was wrong in giving birth in the US, the netizen chose to “research” about the celebrity couple. He/she then asked why would Rodriguez leave the Philippines to give birth if Padilla prided himself on being nationalistic. The said comments have since been deleted.
In response, Padilla said, “Ang pagiging [Filipino-American] ay hindi pagtataksil sa Inangbayan (Being Filipino-American is not betraying the motherland).”
He then claimed that he and his wife are more American than those who speak English and live in the US, after pointing out that Rodriguez is an American citizen, and stating that he bears some Native American blood.
It's simply amazing that this man was elected to the Senate. It's amazing that Filipinos consistently vote for people who are incompetent and who brazenly show they do not care about this nation. Robin Padilla literally said EJK's are part of fighting crime.

Actor Robin Padilla, who is running for senator in the May elections, said Thursday that extrajudicial killing or EJK is part of the government’s fight against crime, especially in the battle versus illegal drugs.
Padilla was asked during an interview with ANC’s Headstart about his thoughts on the brutal anti-drug campaign of the current administration and EJKs, which has largely marred the so-called drug war of President Rodrigo Duterte.
(That’s really part of it, the EJK. Andres Bonifacio was the first victim of it. It’s part of it.)To recall, Bonifacio was tried and sentenced to death for treason on then-President Emilio Aguinaldo’s orders after trying to establish his own rebel government. He and his brother Procopio were killed in the mountains of Marogondon.
This man thinks killing people is a part of fighting crime. He does not know the law and he does not even know Philippine history. What exactly does he know? That could fill a library.
