Veteran stage actor and singer Audie Gemora, a vocal Dilawan or Pinklawan supporter on social media tried to mock Sen. Robinhodd Padilla on Twitter after the lawmaker confessed to reporters that he is experiencing difficulty following the discussion because his colleagues normally engage debates in English.
Sen. Robin Padilla was quoted as saying “Nahihirapan lang ako. Pwede dahan-dahan lang?” the neophyte senator told reporters during an ambushed interview.
The confession of the newly-elected and first-time senator made some headlines in the mainstream media, giving his critics the opening to attack him and make a mockery out of him, particularly Kakampinks like Audie Gemora.
Audie Gemora make a mockery out of him, and told his followers that their senatorial bets, were deserving of a senate slot more than the action star Robin Padilla.
The veteran singer Tweeted “You put a kinder-gardener in graduate school and expect the class to adjust?”
The eagerness of Audie Gemora to mock or to put Sen. Robinhood Padilla to shame and at the same time, make the senator’s supporters cringe in embarrassment for voting the actor whom Gemora thinks is unqualified due to the non-mastery of the English language when compared to Kakampink senatorial bets, the singer actor just put himself in an embarrassing situation.
Audie Gemora’s plans to mock Sen. Padilla and embarrassed the actor backfired big time after a veteran blogger and prominent social media personality identified as MJ Quiambao Reyes responded brilliantly to Gemora.

To Mr. Gemora & to others who think & tweet like him:
Una, bago po kayo mang insulto, siguruhin n’yo po muna na tama ang spelling ng KINDERGARTNER para di naman nakakahiya.
Pangalawa, hindi sukatan ng talino at competence ang galing sa pananalita ng wikang banyaga. [Otherwise, ano na lang ang magiging tingin sa iyo Audie now that you can’t even spell a simple word correctly?]
Pangatlo, ang pagiging mapagkumbaba at ang pagmamahal sa sariling wika ay hindi kailanman kabobohan o kakulangan ng kakayahan magsilbi sa bayan.
Isinusulong ni Sen. Robin Padilla ang pag gamit ng sariling wika hindi lang dahil sa doon sya mas bihasa at mas kumportable kundi dahil gusto rin nyang mas maunawaan ng nakararaming mamamayan ang mga mahahalagang isyung pinagdedebatehan sa senado.
Tulad ng sabi sa amin mismo ni PRRD noong July 18 (if my memory serves me right):
“Mahusay man yan talaga si Robin. That guy can express himself in English if he wants to. Pero gusto nya talagang gamitin ang Filipino. Bakit naman hindi.”
[Oo, SRP, pinag chismisan ka namin
