Actor Robin Padilla has recently asked President Rodrigo Duterte not to reveal the identities of celebrities involved in the use of illegal drugs. Robin claimed that they may be diplomatic ways to settle the issue.
"I am not talking about the pushers—they don’t have a place in this industry. I’m more concerned about the users, because I know that they are the victims here," he clarified excluding pushers.
A few speculations on a "list" have surfaced with his name on it that this is like the first list released by the president of "narco-politicians."
To clarify the issues circulating around the online community, a list have been released and Padilla's name is clearly on it. However, the list is not of narco-people but of former inmates qualified for executive pardon by the Board of Pardons and Parole.
Robin was found guilty of charges on illegal possession of high-powered firearms in 1994. He was sentenced to serve for 21 years in prison by the Angeles City, Pampanga Regional Trial Court.
However after three years of imprisonment at the New Bilibid Prison, former President Fidel V. Ramos granted him conditional pardon in 1997.
Robin's conditional pardon already expired in 2003. His legal counsel Rudolf Jurado, on the other hand, said that their camp will apply for an absolute pardon.
Board of Pardons and Parole (BPP) Executive Director Reynaldo Bayang released a "list" of former prisoners qualified for executive clemency where all civil rights will be restored.
