MANILA (UPDATED) — It should now be “Robinhood Padilla.”

Newbie senator Padilla has conveyed the request to the Senate secretariat through a letter, requesting that he be addressed by his full name.

In his July 6 letter sent to Senate Secretary Atty. Myra Marie Villarica, the actor-politician said he should be addressed as “Robinhood C. Padilla.”

“This is to respectfully inform your good office of this Representation’s preference to be addressed as ROBINHOOD C. PADILLA for all Senate communications and correspondences,” Padilla’s signed letter stated.

He, however, clarified that his request for given name is for Senate records only, adding media can still call him "Robin".

"Mainam po kasi na tunay na pangalan ko po ang gamitin sa records ng Senado... sa mga opisyal na records lang po ng Senado bilang paggalang po sa institusyon," Padilla said.

(It is better to use my real name in Senate records, only in official records of the Senate as a sign of respect for the institution.)

Padilla, whose given name is Robinhood Cariño Padilla, topped the 2022 senatorial race with more than 26.6 million votes.

He is an action star in Philippine movies, and was dubbed “Bad Boy of Philippine Movies.”

Padilla is expected to chair the powerful Senate panel on constitutional amendments and revision of codes, as well as the committee on public information.
