Harry Roque Backs Robin Padilla as Sara Duterte’s VP for 2028 in Viral Video

by in Categories News

A video of former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque endorsing Senator Robin Padilla as the vice-presidential candidate of Sara Duterte in the 2028 elections has gone viral. The endorsement happened during a gathering in the Netherlands, where several overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were rallying outside the detention center of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

In the video, the OFWs can be seen cheering and expressing their excitement as Roque publicly supported Padilla’s potential candidacy. Padilla, appearing proud and confident, smiled as Roque made the announcement.

However, Padilla has recently faced criticism for his extended stay in the Netherlands, where he is actively defending Duterte despite his role as a sitting senator. Critics argue that Padilla’s actions suggest he is prioritizing the interests of the Duterte family over his responsibilities to the Filipino people. Speculations have also emerged that Padilla’s position as senator is being used to benefit the Duterte family.

Padilla has also been under fire for his perceived lack of knowledge about his senatorial duties. Several videos have circulated online showing instances where he struggled during Senate hearings, often due to his difficulty speaking English. Padilla has previously admitted his challenges with the language, which many believe affects his performance as a lawmaker.

Meanwhile, Roque is reportedly seeking asylum in the Netherlands after fleeing the Philippines. This comes after he allegedly skipped hearings related to his involvement in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) activities. His sudden departure has raised eyebrows, leading to further scrutiny of his actions.

As of now, no official statement has been released regarding Roque’s endorsement of Padilla. However, many netizens believe that the endorsement hints at a strategic plan being put in motion for the 2028 elections. The viral video has sparked intense discussions online, with opinions divided on whether Padilla is suited for the vice-presidential role.

With the political landscape heating up early, Filipinos closely watch these developments as the 2028 elections draw nearer.
