Robin Padilla answers Ronald Llamas’s tirade
Senator Robin Padilla received criticism from political analyst Ronald Llamas, and here’s his answer to this.
To recall, Llamas stated that Padilla was the main reason
why a lot of celebrities who ran in the 2025 midterm elections did not win
. According to Llamas, voters were no longer focused on popularity and name recall in choosing the candidates they wanted to hold a government position.
Llamas also predicted that Padilla will no longer be the number one senator if he runs in 2028 elections. However, the actor-turned-politician has already
declared that he will not run
, and his wife,
Mariel Padilla, attested to this, saying that Filipinos did not deserve her husband

Based on the article in PEP, Sen. Robin Padilla answered the statement made by the political analyst regarding his political career.
“Tunay po na adbokasya ko ang paghalal ng hindi sikat, hindi mayaman, at hindi mula sa political na pamilya, kundi maghalal ng mga bago na mga walang pangalan, walang kayamanan at hindi mula sa political na pamilya,
” Padilla stressed.
He also said that it’s not just about artists, but about all the “bolero” who have been caught, caught, and most of all, have been in power for several years, but have still contributed nothing to the development of the country but ridicule.
The lawmaker did not mention any name, but it was obvious that he was referring to Ronald Llamas because he mentioned being involved in buying pirated DVDs.
Back in 2011, reportedly, Llamas bought pirated CDs. At that time, it was a common thing for those in universities to buy pirated CDs and DVDs because they were much cheaper.

“Parang pinatutunayan niyo po ang sinasabi ng isang abogada na pangit po kasi kayo kaya d’yan nanggaling ang galit niyo sa artista. Parang kaplastikan din po yun nahuli kayo na bumibili ng pirated DVD. Presidential adviser, nasaan ang delicadeza? Noong 2016, 2019 halos wala lumusot sa kandidato niyo hanggang 2022,
” Padilla said.
Parang pinatutunayan niyo po ang sinasabi ng isang abogada na pangit po kasi kayo kaya d’yan nanggaling ang galit niyo sa artista,”
he said.
The Senator also said that he prays that Llamas would be a changed man already, for him to become a more good-looking guy.
“Bawas- bawasan niyo po ang pangungutya. Mainam ay tumakbo po kayo para mapatunayan niyo din ang kakayahan niyo manalo,”
Sen. Robin Padilla added.
