Senator Robinhood “Robin” Padilla tendered his irrevocable resignation as executive vice president of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) on Monday, May 29.

In an update on Tuesday, Padilla’s camp said his resignation is to “ensure he can concentrate on fulfilling his duties as senator.”

The senator, however, will remain a member of the PDP-Laban.

“Nagtitiwala ako na ang aking desisyon ay para sa mas kapakinabangan at kabutihan ng PDP-Laban at sa lahat ng miyembro nito tungo sa kolektibong hangarin ng Partido – at higit sa lahat, sa mga mamamayang Pilipino,” a part of his resignation letter read, as quoted.

“Bilang nanunungkulang Senador na mayroong mabigat na mandato sa taumbayan, mulat po ako na kailangang magbigay daan ang ibang pananagutan, kabilang na ang aking posisyon bilang EVP, para sa mas epektibong pagganap sa aking mga sinumpaang tungkulin sa bayan,” he added.

Padilla ran under PDP-Laban in the May 9, 2022 elections. AG – gb
