Shots fired!
Action star Robin Padilla called out Senator Koko Pimentel after the latter announced that he wanted to give Manny Pacquiao a “special tax exemption”, saying that the senator should not drag the People’s Champ in “trapo” or traditional politician tactics, according to a report by the Inquirer.
The senator apparently wanted to give the Pacman a special tax exemption as a “tribute” to the boxer for promoting the Philippines through his high-profile fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In an Instagram post, Robin Padilla captioned the following:
MR SENATOR,Manny Is a FILIPINO HERO, he is our symbol of Courage!!! Impossible Dream !!! and Fighting Spirit!!!! He is trained to fight fairly and follows every rule in the boxing ring , HE IS A FOLLOWER and a BELIEVER of CHRIST teachings. HE IS the only HOPE of the FILIPINO People, the only one representing the Hardworking and Honest BORN VERY POOR FILIPINO….. So pls pls have mercy on this last remaining excellent Image of a FILIPINO and pls immediately stop this madness and childish preposition of yours, let him fullfill his mission in life without any stain of Political bias and benefits, pls let him stay CLEAN of any TRAPO Tricks. LET HIM Have his rightful place in the league of our National Heroes.
Senator Pimentel reportedly wanted to “inspire” Pacquiao, as part of his proceeds go to the people because of his hard work.
What do you think of this? Do you agree with Robin Padilla or not?
