Television host and actress Mariel Padilla openly shared her admiration for two senators she holds in especially high regard: Camille Villar and her husband, Robin Padilla.
Her remarks came across as personal and reflective—rooted in what she described as character, work ethic, and sincerity in public service. For Mariel, leadership is not just about legislation passed or speeches delivered, but about consistency, empathy, and presence.
On Facebook, Mariel posted a photo of Robin and Camille during an online meeting with the following caption:
“Despite all the noise, my two favorite senators are working hard. Robin Padilla Camille Villar”
Netizens shared their thoughts by posting the following comments:
– “sus, nag zoom lang, nagtatrabaho agad?”
– “May napasa bang batas?”
– “favorite kahit walang Alam sa Senado.”
– “Noise na pala ang tawag sa boses ng mga Pilipino LOL”
– “Until now, di pa rin nawawala ang funny side ni Mariel. Fan na fan talaga ako since Wowowee days.”
– “Working hard” should be measurable by facts and data. I really believe Robin is kindhearted, hardworking, smart and an honest person. No question about his personality. But those qualities is not enough and sufficient to claim that he is an effective senator.
– “Typo. You mean hardly working, right? Right?!”
Whether one agrees with her choices or not, her words added a relatable voice to the broader conversation about leadership, reminding the public that admiration in politics, much like in life, often begins at home and grows from what feels genuine.
