It appears that Robin Padilla is not yet done with his tirades amid ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal issue, after seemingly throwing shade at Ang Probinsyano lead actor and director Coco Martin in his reaction to an online comment.
The 50-year-old actor responded to a netizen who told him to follow Coco’s example of extending help to other actors and giving them jobs instead of criticizing the Kapamilya network.
The commenter wrote: “Sir robinhood ba’t ‘di mo nalang gayahin si Coco gumagawa ng teleserye o movies? Tumulong ka sa mga walang trabaho, nalulong sa bisyo na gusto magbago o mga api sa sweldo kuhanin mo.
“Kung si Coco nagawa kasi nasa kanya ang kasikatan at pagpapala kaya binabalik niya sa (pagtulong). Siguro po sila din po kayo, mas marami kayong nagampanan na. So alam kong magagawa mo rin na marami kang mapasaya. Pero ang paraan mong ganito marami ang nagtatalo at nasasaktan, walang kapayapaan.”
“Pasensiya na po kung di mo ako maintindihan, at kung hinahalintilad kita kay Coco. Pero mas da best at kapaki-pakinabang kung ang husay at galing mo ay ginamit mo sa maayos at mapayapang paraan,” the netizen added.
Robin replied that he’s been there and done that. “Napakarami ko pong pelikula na nagawa ko na nagkataon lang na wala akong ganang mag pelikula dahil sa nangyayari sa likod ng camera matagal na pong practice yan natutunan lang po yan ni direk Coco sa mga naunang action stars.”
He then brought up what Coco allegedly did to crew members who fell asleep out of fatigue and a female location manager.
“Siguro po mainam sabihin niyo po kay direk Coco na ‘wag bubuhusan ng tubig ‘yung mga crew na nakakatulog sa pagod at pagpatol sa location manager na babae,” Robin continued.
He also mentioned that actor John Lloyd Cruz was just like him who had lost interest in showbiz.
The netizen replied and assumed that Robin harbors hard feelings toward the Ang Probinsiyano actor.
“Ngayon naparating niyo na po sa kanya, malinaw na may sama ka ng loob, finish na po,” the commenter wrote.
Robin responded again, “Ang pagsasabi ng totoo ay hindi sama ng loob ang katotohanan ay masakit pero ito ay nagsisilbing panggising sa mga tulog. Peace be with you.”
As of writing, Coco has not reacted to Robin’s statements.
In another reply to the same commenter, Robin spoke of how ABS-CBN is earning money, but is supposedly not giving a fair share of the income generated from various platforms to its actors and crew.
“@joanamarie715 mam bilang si direk coco po ang tumatayong tagapagtanggol ng mga artista, ito po ba ay puwedeng mailapit niyo sa kanya galing sa aming mga artista. Halimbawa ‘pag gumawa tayo ng tv program or movie sa abscbn tapos ipapalabas nila sa tfc. Kikita sila don ng malaki pero ‘di man lang tayo bibigyan kahit konti. Meron pa ngayon silang tv plus, i wanttv, kbo at kung ano ano pa,” he said.
Robin continued: “‘Yung eksena natin sa tv, ilalagay sa youtube channel nila, kumikita po sila uli pero ni singko wala pot tayo kapamilya pero patayan ang bilang ng oras ng pagte-taping na literal pati mga crew at director namamatay talaga.”
Last week, Robin apologized for his rants against the media giant that’s facing a franchise renewal crisis, and other TV networks, saying that he just got carried away by his emotions.
