Like other big names in the movie industry, action star Robin Padilla (b.1967, Robinhood Fernando Cariño Padilla in real life) also started his colorful movie career in supporting roles--- to Ramon ‘Bong’ Revilla, Jr. in Alega Gang (1988) and to Phillip Salvador in Delima Gang (1989). However, there’s no stopping Robin’s phenomenal rise to stardom. From lead roles in Carnap King and Hindi Pahuhuli ng Buhay, both in 1989, he went on to become the next hottest new action star discovery of 1989. From then on, he reigned supreme in the 90s playing some of the most iconic roles in movies such as Barumbado, Sa Diyos Lang Ako Susuko, Walang Awa Kung Pumatay and finally Bad Boy, the movie that made him one of filmdom's top box-office draw and bankable star.
Since then, the moniker ‘bad boy’ was associated to Robin’s name. His bad boy image plus his ruggedly good looks served him well in his booming career. These are some of the best assets which carried and catapulted him to the top. However, Robin's sudden surge of popularity made him susceptible and vulnerable to troubles. In 1995, he was arrested and sentenced to a jail term for illegal possession of firearms. After three years, he was released on parole. Robin now is a changed person and very busy as ever.

Iyung Bad Boy ay originally intended for Ace Vergel's comeback movie. In fact, Ace already shoots some scenes for that movie but personal problems ensued and Viva had no choice but to replaced the 'original' bad boy with up and coming superstar Robin Padilla.
Blessing in disguise or it is really a destiny. Robin captured the heart of filipino movie fans in Bad Boy and there's no stopping since then. Mga late 1990 itong Bad Boy then opening salvo ng Viva yung Anak ni Baby Ama in 1991. After that the mega hit valentines presentation "Maging Sino Ka Man" which sealed the status of Robin as the new box office king.
Ang pinagtataka ko, bakit wala ang Bad Boy sa mga VCD na ni-release ng Viva?
Bakit walang copy ng Badboy1 1990 Movie? kahit ung sa youtube lang sana
Robin Padilla seems to be the only remaining action movie star active today. That in itself is a huge achievement.

thanks
