It seems that no one could stop the actor Robin Padilla from criticizing the practices of ABS-CBN and its talents.
In an Instagram post, Padilla revealed an alleged practice of the “Ang Probinsiyano” leading star and director Coco Martin when a netizen compared the veteran action star to the latter.
The netizen asked Padilla why he didn’t choose to direct shows and imitate the practice of Coco Martin who’s known for helping struggling actors and hiring them as talent.
“Sir robinhood bat di mo na lng gayahin si coco na gumawa ng teleserye or movie tumulong ka sa mga wala ngvtrabaho, nalulong sa bisyo na gusto magbago o mga api sa sweldo kuhanin mo kung si coco nagawa kasi nasakanya ang kasikatan at pagpapala kaya binabalik nya sa baktulong siguro po silak din po kayu mas marami kayung nagampanan nah.so alam kong magagawa morin na marami kang mapasaya pero ang paraan mong ganito marami ang nagtatalo at nasasaktan walang kapayapaan nasaan ang po ang makatao dun pasensya napo kung di mo ako maintindihan at kung hinahalintulad kita kay coco pero mas da best at kapakipakinabang kung ang husay at galing mo ay ginamit mo sa maayos at mapayapang paraan,” the netizen asked Padilla.
As a response, Padilla said that he doesn’t have any interest in making movies as he already saw many times what’s happening behind the cameras.
He asked the netizen to tell Coco Martin to stop pouring water into his sleeping crews.
In 2018, Coco was accused of splashing water on some talents of Ang Probinsiyano, however, some of his supporters explained that this is only a prank in the set of the television show.
Padilla also mentioned John Lloyd Cruz as an example of actors like him who are already tired of making shows.
“Napakarami ko pong pelikula na nagawa ko na ito 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 siguro po mainam sabihin niyo po kay direk coco na wag bubuhusan ng tubig yun mga crew na nakakatulog sa pagod at pagpatol sa location manager na babae, Si John Loyd po ay isa sa mga artista ng ABSCBN na katulad ko ay ayaw na gumawa,” Padilla told the netizen.
The netizen suspected that Padilla is hiding a grudge towards his former network, but the actor denied it, explaining that he’s only telling the truth.
“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,” Padilla said.
Padilla then mentioned another practice of ABS-CBN where the actors don’t receive any share when their shows were uploaded on Youtube or other streaming media services.
“Mam bilang si direk coco po ang tumatayong tagapagtanggol ng mga artista ito po ba ay puedeng 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 want tv , kbo at kung ano ano pa. Yung eksena natin sa tv ilalagay sa youtube channel nila kumikita po sila uli pero ni singko wala po tayo kapamilya,” he told the netizen.
Padilla started to be vocal against ABS-CBN several days ago after the Office of the Solicitor General filed a quo warranto petition against the television network.
He even challenged his colleagues in showbusiness to reveal their contracts and compare it to the simple employees of their networks if they’re really fighting for the rights of the workers.
