Showing our intense collective outrage on Revilla's release on bail must never die down. I call on the Church, civil society, students, the academe and all those who see this as a mockery done by the 2 Sandiganbayan justices' decision to formally question the said case.

[Teta Limcangco @teta_limcangco]

This is becoming a cycle.
After arrest, post bail then forget case, that's why he never learned.

Speaking of forget..... Nabayaran na ba ni Bong Revilla yung ₱124.5 million na pinapabalik sa kanya ng National Treasury nung 2018 ?

"We may be on opposite sides."

Respectfully, Senator-Judge Alan Cayetano, could you clarify what you meant on this?

May I respectfully remind you po that you are sitting as a senator-judge, expected to hear the case impartially and not as a member of either side po.

Dear Angel Locsin,

When you called out Senator Robin Padilla, it was the reality check the internet needed.

Seeing him use an impeachment trial to declare “Komunista po ako" was pure political theater.

As you rightly asked, where was this "rebel" solidarity when you were red-tagged?

Instead of standing up, he was busy fraternizing with the red-taggers.

BUT… by any actual political definition, Robin is not a communist.

Here are 10 reasons why:

1. Robin built his entire multi-decade career on being the ultimate capitalist anti-hero. He starred in blockbusters glorifying the individual who gets the girl and the money. That’s pure free-market economics, baby.

2. A true communist stands against the ruling class; Robin consistently defends ultra-conservative oligarchs like Apollo Quiboloy.

3. He is a loyalist to the Duterte family that champions a right-wing, highly centralized political dynasty.

4. He kept silent when actual activists and human rights defenders were being targeted by the likes of Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Celiz.

5. Through his wife, Mariel, his household is heavily involved in high-end retail, most notably her viral live-selling of designer goods like Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci.

Karl Marx wrote extensively about how "commodity fetishism" under capitalism blinds society to the exploitation of the working class.

Running a commercial business that markets ₱500,000 designer bags to elite socialites is about as far removed from the socialist struggle as physically possible.

6. Karl Marx famously declared religion to be the "opiate of the masses." Robin Padilla is an openly devout Muslim who frequently invokes faith in his political rhetoric. This is a direct contradiction to the core tenets of orthodox Marxism.

7. His soft stance on China’s West Philippine Sea incursions contradicts genuine anti-imperialist, leftist values.

8. He actively aligns with and supports military-backed, anti-communist task forces like the NTF-ELCAC.

9. His biggest project in the Senate is Charter Change that aims to open the Philippines to 100% foreign corporate ownership. Actual communists are fiercely anti-imperialist and oppose foreign capitalist control.

10. Beyond his celebrity earnings, Robin is a wealthy property owner and businessman. He benefits directly from the rental economy and private capital—the very things communism seeks to abolish.

Also, according to his official financial disclosures (SALN), Robin boasts a staggering net worth of over ₱244 million and he has declared absolutely zero liabilities. While the working-class proletariat struggles with inflation and rising costs, he sits comfortably in the top fraction of the country's wealthiest 1%.

Your post was a powerful reminder of the gap between the Robin we grew up watching and the politician he became.

Performative rebels (like his “Bad boy” image) always fold when the system is actually challenged.

Don't count on him to change, Angel.

🚨 OMG may budget insertion worth ₱150 Million pala si Robin Padilla for the PH Film Heritage Building nuon!

At ang contractor for the project ay Discaya firm na hindi tinapos ang project, ayon kay FDCP Chair Direk Joey Reyes.

Akala ko galit sa budget insertions yan?

May pananagutan sa ilalim ng batas, at mahalagang maituwid ang maling paniniwala na kapag menor de edad ay wala nang accountability.

𝗔𝗞𝗕𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗡 𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗠𝗦 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗡:
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢 𝗦𝗔 𝗠𝗚𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗔, 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗦 𝗞𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗢?

Akbayan Party today slammed Senator Robin Padilla’s push to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 10 in the wake of the Tacloban school shooting, accusing him of exploiting a tragedy to advance a misguided proposal.

“Gusto ni Robin ikulong ang mga 10-year-old, pero ang 64-year-old na si Bato dela Rosa na akusadong mass murderer ay pinatakas niya. Preso para sa mga bata, pero takas para kay Bato? Anong klaseng pag-iisip yan?” David said.

David said that jailing children who are too young and who cannot fully grasp right from wrong is not rehabilitation. “Eh si Robin nga, nasa hustong gulang at pag-iisip noong nakulong, nagbago ba? Hindi ba’t nilabag na naman niya ang batas sa pagtulong kay Bato na tumakas? How much more children, whose minds are still developing?”

Akbayan stressed that Padilla’s proposal rests on a false premise. “Nabasa na ba ni Robin ang batas? The Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act holds minors who commit crimes, especially heinous ones, accountable. In fact, minors aged 15 and above may be held criminally liable if proven to have acted with discernment, while those below 15 can be deprived of liberty as they undergo intensive intervention and rehabilitation programs,” David said.

Akbayan said it stands with victims and their families, but warned against exploiting public grief to justify draconian policies that could make schools and communities more unsafe. “We are one with the call for justice and accountability. At the same time, we push for the full funding and implementation of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act so effective intervention, mental health support, quality education, and social services are in place. Children must also be kept away from dangerous weapons such as firearms, and parents must be held equally accountable for ensuring proper care and supervision, to prevent violence before it happens.” David said.

HINDI TAMA NA HINDI MAPAPANAGOT ANG MENOR DE EDAD NA NAGKASALA

Walang lugar ang karahasan sa ating lipunan, lalong-lalo na sa mga lugar na dapat ay ligtas para sa mga bata.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

MAY PANANAGUTAN ANG MGA MENOR DE EDAD NA NASASANGKOT SA KRIMEN

Marami pa ring maling impormasyon tungkol sa Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

May pananagutan. May proseso. May mga intervention upang matiyak na hindi na ito mauulit.

May pananagutan din ang mga magulang. May tungkulin naman ang pamahalaan—sa pamamagitan ng DSWD at iba pang ahensya—na magbigay ng suporta sa mga biktima, kanilang mga pamilya.

Iligal ang pakawalan ang menor de edad na nasangkot sa krimen at may parusa sa mga gagawa nito.

Ang tunay na hamon ay hindi ang pagpapakalat ng takot at disinformation, kundi ang ganap na pagpapatupad ng batas at pagtiyak na may hustisya, accountability, at proteksyon para sa lahat ng bata.
