Senator Robinhood ‘Robin’ Padilla is now the acting executive vice president of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).
The neophyte legislator is now the second highest official of the party.
He will be in an acting capacity until the next election of National Officers in a National Assembly held for that purpose.
Padilla is replacing Karlo Nograles, who resigned after being appointed as the chairman of the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
PDP-Laban was splitted into two during the May 2022 elections due to the rift between the faction of former Senator Manny Pacquiao and former Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi.
