Sir Robin Padilla deserves to be part of the senators. His actions to every disaster to problem may not be seen by all the filipinos but those who experienced saw and felt the true essence of help from him. Being the top amongst those senatorial candidates proves that people believe him and letting Mr. Padilla to do more for the country and his countrymen. For the other senators who are also at the top have done and served the people when they were in their own respective position as a public servant to the country they live and love.
