Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV slammed actor Robin Padilla for his post urging the people to help the country instead of complaining.
In a tweet, Trillanes accused Padilla of urging the people to work and stop complaining about the current state of the country.
Trillanes believed that President Rodrigo Duterte was clueless about handling the crisis in the country that’s why he questioned Padilla why he wanted the people to stop criticizing the government.
“Sbi ni Robin, mgtrabaho nlng dw at wg na mgreklamo. Ano? #1 na tyo sa pnkmraming covid cases sa SE Asia, hbang prang nglalaro lng si duterte at di alam ang gngawa,” Trillanes said.
The fierce critic of the current administration also blamed Padilla for supporting President Duterte whom he called ‘crazy’.
“Bsta, isa ka sa salarin kung bkt nging presidente yang siraulong yan. Mlaking perwisyo ang dinulot nyo sa Pilipinas,” he said.

Trillanes was probably reacting to the post of Padilla four days ago, urging the people to apply as a reservist of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) instead of complaining.
“Imbes na mabuhay at magising ka araw araw sa pagrereklamo at kakabatikos ABAY kumilos ka para makatulong at mapakinabangan una ng sarili mo, mga pamilya mo at ng Inangbayan. Hindi ito ang oras ng pamumulitika! Ito ang oras ng pagtulong sa gobyerno maging ano man ang kulay mo. Isaksak niyo sa baga niyo at puso niyo na ang pinag uusapan ngayon at ang nakataya ngayon ay ang SURVIVAL ng ating LAHI at INANGBAYAN PILIPINAS. Join the Reservist “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” Padilla said.
This is not the first time that Padilla and Trillanes criticized each other on social media.
In 2018, Padilla waited outside the senate to convince Trillanes to surrender himself to the authorities after President Duterte declared the amnesty given to the latter as void.
“Labas na diyan pare, wag kang mag tago sa saya ng Senado!” Padilla said in his live video.
