"Welcome ka rito anytime. Pati picture mo na sa harap ko everyday. Nagpapasalamat ako na yung binilin ko sa'yo na huwag gagawin yung hindi dapat gawin ay ginagawa mo. I'm proud of you. (You're welcome here anytime. I even have your picture in front of me every day. I'm grateful that you're doing what I told you not to do. I'm proud of you)," Boss Vic told Robin during a media conference in Pasig City recently.

Robin, who just celebrated his birthday on Nov. 23, said the Viva homecoming is the best birthday gift so far.

"Ito na ang pinaka-birthday gift ko dahil wala akong pinapangarap kundi ang mabalik sa opisina ng Viva Films. Dito ako masaya. Ito na ang greatest birthday gift ko. (This is my greatest birthday gift because I dream of nothing more than to return to the Viva Films office. I am happy here. This is my greatest birthday gift)," said the senator.

Robin revealed that he has just secured a five-project deal with Viva, promising a thrilling new chapter in his creative journey. He expressed gratitude to the film company for its support, even though he is now a politician.

"Sabi nga nila noong naglabas ako ng SALN, 'Ang dami mo namang pera P200 million. Sabi ko, 'Huh! Ginawa akong bilyonaryo ni Boss Vic. Pero noong naging pulitiko ako naging milyonaryo na lang ako. (They said when I released my SALN, 'You have a lot of money, P200 million. I said, 'Huh! Boss Vic made me a billionaire. But when I became a politician, I just became a millionaire)," the actor-politician said.

Boss Vic added, "I am happy at bumabalik pelikula ang Robin Padilla. Matagal ka ng hinihintay ng tao. (I am happy that Robin Padilla is returning to the movies. People have been waiting for you for a long time.)"
