Robin Padilla doesn’t plan to enter politics

MANILA, Philippines- Robin Padilla doesn’t have plans of entering politics.

This is what he made clear during a presscon Wednesday afternoon, October 30, when he was asked if his being vocal about the current issues of the country is a sign of his political plans.

“Hindi mangyayari,” the actor emphasized. “Ngayon pa lang tandaan na natin ang araw na ‘to uulitin ko, hindi ako papasok sa politika. Hindi yan ang solusyon para sa akin.”

“Very visionary kasi ang aking way of thinking, e,” he adds. “Hindi ako kailanman siguro masasabing politician dahil para sa akin ang mga politician ay magaling sa compromise. Kaya ako hindi ako nakikipag-compromise kapag pinag-uusapan natin ay pang-aapi na ng ibang tao.”

Robin also said that he’s not worried about politicians going after him just because he expressed his opinions as a Filipino Muslim citizen.

“KJ sila,” he joked. Then on a serious note he said, “Kasi ako mga pare, wala naman akong motibo. Hindi n’yo ko kaaway kasi wala naman akong planong pumasok sa politika.

“Ako ay sa taong-bayan, kasi kailangan nila na may magsalita naman. Yun ang isang bagay para doon sa mga tao na akala ako’y isang kaaway, hindi po, konsensya n’yo lang po ako.”
