Singer-actress Karylle voiced her frustration over the ongoing turmoil in the Senate, calling for efficiency and an end to what she described as wasted time. During the June 16 episode of the morning radio program "Good Times," the "It's Showtime" host openly shared her sentiments, including concerns involving her uncle, Senator Robin Padilla.
Karylle Calls for Action Amid Senate Chaos
"It's just taking too long and they wasted so much time with all this drama. Go to work, be efficient, things need to be done. People are dying because of the corruption. I'm so mad like bring them to us — where are they now?" she said. Karylle emphasized the need for lawmakers to focus on their duties rather than engaging in prolonged disputes.
Praise for Colleague Who Chose to Work
She also commended a colleague who decided to return to work, stating, "Then wow, the other one was so good at it — he went to work because he said he couldn't take it anymore. Like this guy had an announcement video about why it's important to go to work and it's not about taking sides — just go to work and do your job. No more explanations."
Willingness to Talk to Uncle Robin Padilla
Karylle expressed a desire to speak with her uncle, Robin Padilla, if given the chance. The last time she saw him was during her grandfather's birthday before the Senate drama unfolded. "The last time I saw him was my grandfather's birthday and none of this had happened at that time. But, you know, if I do see him, I would have a conversation. That's why I don't like closing doors or putting periods. I love conversations. If I do see him, I will talk to him about it and I will let you know," she said.
Call for Voter Education and Critical Thinking
She also urged voters to use critical thinking when choosing leaders and called on candidates to participate in debates to help the public understand their positions on political issues. "Let's educate the voters and make sure that we are all educated… As a voter, you should use your own brain. Discernment, I think, is the word I like. Even in religion, you have to discern for yourself," she added.
