‘Ang Alamat sa Aksyon’ shines in defining TV role
Robin Padilla’s character, Ahmad Mustapha, meets a tragic end as government destabilization escalates in ABS-CBN’s hit primetime series “Blood vs Duty.”
Serving as the presidential chief of staff and Jalil’s (Gerald Anderson) secret ally, Mustapha ended up as the latest victim of the mastermind, retired general Manuel Carillo, after a tense face-off that culminated in his death.
Robin has stood out as a Muslim character in the action-drama, portraying the role with authenticity and dignity and helping broaden the representation of Muslims beyond familiar stereotypes.
The veteran actor previously thanked ABS-CBN for the opportunity to represent the Muslim community through the series.
“Ako po ay nagpapasalamat ng buong puso sa balanseng paglalahad sa istorya patungkol sa buhay ng mga kababayan ninyong mga Filipino Muslim. Ang malinaw na pagpapakita ng aming pananampalatayang Islam ay ginintuan sa aming mga mata, ganon din ang mga tradisyong katutubo ng mga tribo patungkol sa pamilya at komunidad ay kayamanan ng ating bayan sapagkat isa itong kaalaman ng pangkalahatan at magbibigay ito ng malawakang pagkakaintindihan tungo sa inaasam nating kapayapaan sa ating bansa,” he said.
Viewers loved his comeback TV project that showed him doing action scenes anew.
“Grabe, walang kupas, magaling pa rin si Senator Robin Padilla. Super idol,” a viewer on YouTube said. “Muli na naman nating mapanood ang galawang Robin Padilla,” another netizen commented.
Others enjoyed the explosive action brought by Robin and the “Blood vs Duty” lead actors, Richard Gutierrez and Gerald Anderson.
“Wow ang mga action star nagsama!,” another online viewer posted.
