Senator-elect Robin Padilla will no longer be doing showbiz projects for now as he gears up for his new role as a senator.
“Mahalaga sa akin magtrabaho na ako para pagtuunan ang mga reporma sa batas,“ Padilla said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Padilla said that his last project will be a film about Marawi before his official duties as senator begin.
“Last movie ko na yon. Mananatili na lang yung show ko sa TV. Pero sa showbiz, last ko na ‘yon,” he said.

The movie project started in 2018 but was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Hindi pwedeng di matuloy yun kasi marami nabitin dun, nag pandemya, nag-umpisa pa kampanya kaya di agad pwedeng gawin. Kailangang gawin yon kasi history natin yon,” Padilla said.
Padilla clarified the issue about his wife Mariel Rodriguez flying out to Spain and missing his proclamation. He was accompanied by his brothers in the event instead.
“Plano namin ni Mariel magbakasyon talaga e nag number 1 tayo so sabi ko I have to do my homework. Sabi ko kay Mariel, ikaw na muna bahala sa mga bata. Nagpi-pilgrimage talaga kami sa Spain para alam ng mga anak ko kung saan galing ang pamilya Padilla,” he said.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa ermats ko dahil may basbas siya. Si Mariel, my queen, siya lahat ang nagkumpas sa loob ng digmaan kung ano gagawin namin, siya lahat, sa posters, t-shirts pati oras at gastos,” he added.
Padilla is still in disbelief that he was number one in the official tally of votes for the senatorial race.
“Everyday kinukurot ko sarili ko; tinitingnan, iniisip ko kung pangalan ko nga ba ang andun. Akala ko pwede na number 10 o 11 o 12 lang ako. Pero dahil nauna ka, maraming nabago sa akin. Bigay na ito ng panginoon! Napakalaking responsibilidad na magsilbi sa bayan,” he said.
