Robin Padilla said he is different from other senatorial candidates in an interview with Boy Abunda on April 8, Friday.
On why he chose to run as a senator, Padilla said he wanted to bring change that he always hoped for.
He said, “Nagsawa na rin ako na dadating yung pagbabagong hinihintay ko. Tinanggap ko na yung hamon. Ako na mismo ang lalangoy sa dagat.”
Unlike others, Padilla said he wanted to change the Philippines’ form of government from a unitary presidential government into a federal form of government.
“Naniniwala po ako talaga Tito Boy itong 1987 constitution hindi po ito nakatulong sa atin kasi ilang taon na po iyan. Tinulungan ko po si FVR. Tinulungan ko din po si GMA.
“Naniniwala po ako na ibibigay nila ang federalismo. Naniniwala ako dun eh. Kasi yun ang sinabi nila e. Yun ang ipinangako nila,” he shared.
Padilla discussed the advantages of adopting Federalism in the country by minimizing corruption and allowing the different provinces and regions to flourish.
The actor thinks that this will lead to better lives for normal Filipinos.
