- Trillanes stated that he has been in the WPS multiple times and even caught Chinese poachers.
- Both have been previously convicted for different matters in the past.
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV reacted to Robin Padilla’s statement on his Twitter account.
Bothered by the politician’s response to his comments about taking action rather than complaining against the government, Padilla then challenged him to visit the West Philippine Sea to prove his patriotism.
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. Bsta, isa ka sa salarin kung bkt nging presidente yang siraulong yan. Mlaking perwisyo ang dinulot nyo sa Pilipinas.

“Sinabi na ni pangulo na nagtake over na ang China sa South China Sea/West Philippine Sea, bakit hindi ka don magmatapang? Gusto mo samahan na kita para isang magdalo at may pag-asa katipunero ang mag umpisa ng kabayanihan don,” Padilla wrote on his lengthy Instagram post.

The actor also asked Trillanes to not include him in his battle in politics as Robin said that he is not a politician. He said that will not run for a position in the 2022 elections, unlike the latter.
Trillanes then answered that he has visited the West Philippine Sea a couple of times and even had the chance to catch Chinese poachers in the area.
“Kayo ng amo mong si Duterte ay kahit ROTC ay di nyo naranasan. Puro lang kayo yabang.”
Para sa kaalaman mo, Robin, ilang beses akong nagpatrolya dyan sa WPS at nakahuli pa ng Chinese poachers at surveillance ship noong ako ay nasa Navy pa, habang kayo ng amo mong si duterte ay kahit ROTC ay di nyo naranasan. Puro lang kayo yabang.

Netizens then supported Trillanes’ tweets and commended him for how he “roasted” the action star and for his “power and dedication” to serving the country.
Salute this man of real power and dedication to serve https://t.co/WbAGeRlJu4

Another netizen even said that Robin is not on Trillanes’ level as the former is just a “cockroach.”
