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.
SPEEDY RECOVERY, SAWAGA-DALWANGAN! 🦅
Philippine eagle Sawaga-Dalwangan continues to recover after being rescued on July 3 in Bukidnon.
“Sawaga-Dalwangan is now alert and responsive. She is eating on her own, her wounds are clean, and the maggot infestation is gone. She has completed her antibiotics and other medicines, and there are no signs of an active infection,” the Philippine Eagle Foundation shared.
Sawaga-Dalwangan, believed to be female, was found weak, dehydrated, wounded, and suffering from a severe maggot infestation when she was rescued on July 3. X-rays also revealed two metal pellets lodged in its body.
“Veterinarians successfully removed the small metal pellet from her wing. The other pellet remains deep inside her left thigh. It will be closely watched, and removal may be considered when she is fully recovered and strong enough for the procedure,” PEF added.
