Robin Padilla shared a terrifying event that occurred in his house recently. He said he almost died due to electrocution while he was fixing their swimming pool at home.
On his Instagram post, he expressed how he was so thankful that nothing bad happened to him.
Robin started his post by the word ‘Bismillah‘ which literally means ‘in the name of Allah’ as he was so thankful that he was safe from the accident.
“Kwento ko lang ang umaga ko mga kapanalig Alhamdulillah hindi pa ako binisita ni angel Azrael,” he said.
“Magmula nong lockdown kami kami na lang ang gumgalaw dito sa palais de tres marias kapag May maintenance problem hanggat kaya ng aming pagintindi dahil last option sa amin ang taga labas malaki ang takot namin na mahawa ang mga bata sa virus covid 19,” he added.

He mentioned that ever since the lockdown was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was the one who was doing all the maintenance checks in the house. The actor said that it was necessary for him to learn how to handle the maintenance of the “Palais de tres Marias” because he doesn’t want to call for outside help as much as possible to be safe from the virus.
Robin said that as long as he can still fix the things that needed to be fixed in his house, he will do so because he doesn’t want to risk exposing his family from the people outside especially his children.
The actor saw that the wirings of the submersible pump that he was using to regulate the pool water were exposed and if he was not able to see it before submerging into the pool, he would have been electrocuted.
“Nagkadiperensya ang main water pump and filter ng swimming pool namin kaya gumagamit ako ng submersible pump para umikot ang cycle nang tubig at hindi magstagnant ang nasa malalim. Araw araw hanggang gabi manual ko lang ginagawa ang paglipat ng pump at pagbuga ng tubig paikot ng swimming pool.”
“Ngayon umaga na ito naiba lahat ang ganap, pag check ko ng wire hiwa ito at nakasilip na ang negative, postive at ground wire Allah hu akbar kung nagkataon na nagpabaya ako at basta na lamang inilipat ang pump at maiplug sa kuryente sabay lusong ako sa tubig…. Yun!!! the end sigurado ako goodbye Philippines!” he said.
Robin was relieved that he made it a routine for him to check the wirings of the devices he will use especially the sub-pump. He said that even though the device was waterproof and guaranteed safe, he always make sure to double-check the wires as to not be electrocuted. He stressed that electricity and water are not something to be taken lightly.
“Alhamdulillah naging routine ko ang mag check ng wire bago lumusong sa tubig kasama yun pump kasi yun ang palaging paalala ng aking guardian angel sa isip ko bago matulog at pagkagising na kahit na waterproof at guaranteed safe ang pump always check the wire dahil kuryente at tubig hindi dapat biruin,” said Robin.
“Alhamdulillah it is a blessed day for me Allah hu akbar nakapanghihina pala ang mga ganitong ganap ma shaa Allah mapapaisip ka rin at matitigilan Paano nga kaya kung hindi ako nag check? Astigfirullah Astigfirullah Astigfirullah,” he added.
Robin was so thankful that nothing bad happened to him because he couldn’t fathom the idea of him leaving behind his current wife Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla and their two beautiful daughters.
After many months of no news about action star Robin Padilla, the actor announced that he will be hosting an agricultural show on NET25, Unlad Kaagapay sa Hanapbuhay.
As a Muslim, Robin believes that having a livelihood is a must and that one should not just rely on other people especially in this time of the pandemic. He believes that one must learn and experience the hardness of life as to not become a burden for the family and society.
“Madiin ang bilin ng Islam sa paghahanap buhay! na ang tao ay kinakailangan na kumita sa pagbabanat ng buto at pagtulo ng pawis upang maging maayos, maginhawa at parehas ang pamumuhay sa kanyang komunidad at hindi maging pasanin ng kanyang mga kapatid at bayan,” he said.

For the pilot episode of his show that has premiered last July 26, the action star featured photos of his brother Rommel Padilla’s farm in Nueva Ecija and praised Rommel’s decision to go into farming.
“Inilalakad ang kanyang sinasalita! Saludo ako sa iyo kuya rommel!!! kayat mga kamaglulupa sumunod na tayo sa napakalaking hakbang ni kuya omeng wag na tayo umasa sa kilos ng iba!” said Robin.
On Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s recent State of the Nation Address (SONA), Robin expressed his satisfaction with Joyce Bernal’s direction and coverage.
“Isang malalim na pagbati at pasasalamat sa aking kaibigan at Hinahangaan na direktora BInibining Joyce Bernal sa pagkakalapat ng kanyang talino at sining para sa ikakaganda ng state of the nation address ng ating Pangulo ng Pilipinas ‘mayor’ Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Perfect camera works sa Batasan pambansa at napakaganda ng short film na kuha sa cordillera bilang prelude sa arrival ni PRRD,” Robin said.
“Napakalaki ng iyong naiambag sa rebolusyon direk Joyce muli maraming maraming salamat! Mabuhay ka at ang ating Panata sa Inangbayan!” he added.
In 1994, Padilla was convicted for illegal possession of firearms and sentenced to a maximum of eight years in jail but he only served four years because of a conditional pardon by former President Fidel Ramos.
In 2016, Padilla campaigned for presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte. In November 2016, Padilla was granted an absolute pardon from President Rodrigo Duterte to endow him full civil and political rights.
Robin is known to be an avid supporter of Duterte and has never shown support for ABS-CBN regarding the issue of its franchise renewal. He also accused the network of unfair labor practices and other violations that he said justifies the closure of ABS-CBN.
