Plant the seeds of goodness in order to succeed.
This was the advice of Senator Robin Padilla to the youth of Basilan province after he took part in the Taguima Youth Congress there recently.
In his speech at the Basilan National High School, Padilla stressed this is the key to success, aside from the youth congress’ focus on the environment, education, health, active citizenship, and peace-and-security.
“Tayo naman sa Islam, sa Kristiyanismo, kahit anong religion ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat ang laman ng puso mo at ang laman ng puso mo ‘yan ang uusbong. Pag usbong niyan, lahat ng swerte ay lalapit sa inyo. Success sa pag-aaral mo, trabaho mo, pera, susunod lahat ‘yan,” the legislator said.
“Dito sa mundong ito, maniwala kayo sa hindi, kailangan good karma.”
“Hindi ka susuwertehin kahit anong galing mo, kahit anong sabihin mo na nag-aral ka sa ganito, ikaw ang pinakamagaling, pero hangga’t meron kang katabi na inapi mo o talagang hindi mo tinrato nang maganda, hindi ka susuwertehin. Dahil dito sa mundong ito, maniwala kayo sa hindi, kailangan good karma. Kailangan ang ginagawa mong kabutihan ay babalik sa iyo ‘yan at ginagawa mong pangit babalik sa iyo ‘yan,” the lawmaker added.
The senator cited as an example his nephew Daniel Padilla, who he said is now successful in his career because he treats everyone well, especially his parents and relatives.
“Ke kaibigan ninyo, pamilya ninyo, kapatid ninyo, kamag-anak ninyo, laging magtatanim kayo ng kabutihan sa kanila.”
“Kaya sa inyong edad, tandaan ninyo, ngayon pa lang umpisahan nyo na magtanim ng maganda. Ke kaibigan ninyo, pamilya ninyo, kapatid ninyo, kamag-anak ninyo, laging magtatanim kayo ng kabutihan sa kanila,” he stressed.
Padilla likewise threw his full support behind the youth congress’ focus on the environment, education, health, active citizenship, and peace-and-security.
He particularly voiced 100-percent support for peace and security, which he credited for the rapid progress in Basilan. Padilla noted Basilan progressed after armed groups there were neutralized.
Also, Padilla thanked Basilan Representative Mujiv Hataman and his son, Board Member Ahmed Djaliv “Amin” Hataman, for inviting him to the event.
