Celebrity car racer and businesswoman Angelina Mead King is not taming her politics as she threw shade at politicians who got elected first before studying their jobs.
In a tweet, King took a potshot on some politicians who got elected in the May 9 elections but are yet to learn the “Studying on the job? Parang night class Lang (laughing emoji).”
Studying on the job? Parang night class Lang 🤣

While Mead-King did not drop names, it’s [pretty obvious] that she’s referring to two incoming senators–Robin Padilla and Raffy Tulfo.
In an interview with CNN Philippines on May 19, Tulfo said that he’s already planning to studying Public Administration after being proclaimed senator.
“Mag-aaral ako [ng] Public Administration. Ako’y nag-scout na ng school para matuto ako.
“I know what I’m doing kasi meron akong karanasan sa mga batas na ipapapasa ko. However, I still need to learn. It’s a learning process. I still need to study, kaya nga mag-aaral ako,” he added.
Padilla, on the other hand, said he, too, is going to study the ins and outs of the Senate.
“Susundin ko po lahat ang patakaran ng Senado kaya po ako nag-aaral. Pero hindi ang manahimik dahil ako’y ipapahiya ng tradisyon.”
He also shared pictures on his facebook page during his Senate workshop about basic legislative processes.
Meanwhile, it is not only Angelina Mead-King who took a potshot on “elect first, study later” incoming senators.
Former Congressman and senatorial candidate Teddy Baguilat also joked about it by saying–while it’s a welcome news to know that Padilla and Tulfo are planning to study public administration.
People who had studied public administration like himself now have a chance to become actors or celebrities.
“Good that sina Sen Raffy and Sen Robin e mag aaral ng public ad para sa Senado. Kami naman na dati ng aral sa government e Kailangan naman magpasikat o mag artista. Charot. Hehe”
