- Robin Padilla does another sexist remark towards a single mother contestant on Pilipinas Got Talent.
- Vice Ganda and Angel Locsin quickly put him in his place.
- Kristel de Catalina is a single mother as she raises her young son.
Robin Padilla strikes again. In a recent episode of Pilipinas Got Talent, Vice Ganda applauded Kristel de Catalina’s act. The said contestant is a single mother who raises her young child. However after Vice commended Kristel’s spiral pole dance, Robin gave an unsolicited advice. Although the video uploaded on YouTube didn’t have the said remark.
This also garnered negative reactions from netizens who took to their Twitter accounts to express their thoughts on the matter. A netizen who just happened to pass through channels noticed Robin’s remark.
“Napadaan lang ako sa TV tapos PGT ang palabas.
Vice was praising the female contestant on how she was a model of the strength of single moms who don’t need men to shine.
Then here comes Robin Padilla saying “kailangan mo pa rin ng lalaki!”
Fucking cancer! You’re disgusting.”
Another netizen slammed Robin on his primitive views.
“Can we all agree how garbage Robin Padilla consistently have been in PGT? His misogyny, sexism and bigotry should have no place in Philippines TV. Oh well, we’ve never been progressive anyway. #PGT2ndLiveSemis”
The said netizen continued their insights on the matter.
“While Vice Ganda was praising single mothers, Robin Padilla out of no where exclaims the unsolicited: “Pero kailangan mo pa rin ng lalake!”
That’s garbage there. Angel and Vice were quick to put him in his place with “para kay Robin lang yun” rebuttal. #PGT2ndLiveSemis”
Another netizen slammed Robin on having such a fragile masculinity that he needs to put in his unsolicited remarks whenever he wants to.
“Robin Padilla at it again. Inserting the phrase ‘pero kailangan mo pa rin ng lalake’ to a single mom who can and will always handle herself. She doesn’t need a man to be talented and be a good mom as well. Smh #PGT2ndLiveSemis”
This netizen noted that when Rosanna Roces made remarks on television, a show had been put on hold. On the other hand, ABS-CBN Corporation kept on letting Robin make inappropriate comments pass.
“When Rosanna Roces made a remark as judge on #Showtime about teachers, the show was put on hold. Tell me why are we letting Robin Padilla’s statement/comments pass? From the language barrier, to the cashwash girls, and now to single moms?!!!??!! #PGT2ndLiveSemis”
Another netizen compared Vice and Robin’s reaction on Kristel dedicating her performance to her son.
“vice ganda: *praises contestant for being a strong woman who don’t need no man*
robin padilla: PERO KAILANGAN MO PA RIN NG LALAKI!!!
happy easter to robin padilla and his fragile masculinity”
As of this writing, Kristel’s performance is the #1 Trending on YouTube.
