Robin Padilla
Robinhood Ferdinand Cariño Padilla ([kaˈɾiɲo paˈdilja]; born November 23, 1969), also known by his Muslim name Abdul Aziz, is a Filipino actor, film director, and politician serving as senator of the Philippines. He is known as the "Bad Boy" of Philippine cinema for portraying anti-hero gangster roles in films such as Anak ni Baby Ama (1990), Grease Gun Gang (1992), Bad Boy (1990), and Bad Boy II (1992). He has also been dubbed the "Prince of Action" in Philippine cinema.
Padilla was convicted in April 1994 for illegal ownership of three firearms related to a driving incident in 1992; he was granted a conditional pardon by President Fidel V. Ramos after serving four years in prison and was released in April 1998. He would later be granted an absolute pardon by President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016.
Padilla was elected to the Senate in the 2022 elections, earning the second most number of votes in a senate election in Philippine history. He assumed office in the Senate on June 30, 2022, becoming the first Muslim senator of the Philippines since Santanina Rasul, who served in the Senate until 1995.
A supporter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, he assumed the presidency of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino party on July 24, 2024.
Robinhood Cariño Padilla was born on November 23, 1969, in Daet, Camarines Norte to Casimero "Roy" Padilla Sr. (1926–1988) and actress Lolita Eva Cariño. He has 47 siblings, among whom are half-brothers Roberto (1947–2014), Roy Jr. (1948–), Ronaldo (1962–1988), Roger, Ricarte (1965–) and Rodolfo ("Gino"; 1974/1975–2002), brothers Randolf (d. 1980s), Royette (1962–2021), and Rommel (1965–), and sisters Rebecca and Carmela; one of his siblings, BB Gandanghari (formerly Rustom; 1967–), is transgender. In spite of media reports in the 2010s that Padilla is half-Ibaloi from his mother's side, Ibaloi representatives of the prominent Cariño clan of Benguet denied this claim, though they accepted Padilla as an "honorary cousin" out of goodwill and hospitality.
Padilla's father was an actor, labor leader and politician who served as assemblyman from 1984 to 1986 and was appointed governor of Camarines Norte from 1986 to 1988; he was assassinated during his gubernatorial election campaign on January 17, 1988, with Robin's half-brother Roy Jr. running in his stead. Robin's two other siblings, Randy and mayor-elect Ronaldo of Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte died before he was 18 years old.
Padilla took his elementary education at Siena College of Quezon City and attended high school at Saint Louis University Boys' High School. He discontinued his studies when he was 17 to pursue his acting career.
He finished his bachelor's degree in criminology at Philippine College of Criminology.
