ACTOR ROBIN PADILLA, THE “Bad Boy of Philippine Movies†is being sued for actively endorsing condoms which a political party claimed is an affront to public sensibilities.
Ang Kapatiran Party (AKP) senatorial candidate and lawyer Jo Aurea Imbong Friday asked the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to stop a firm promoting the use of condoms, and its most prominent endorser, from advertising the contraceptive in ads, saying that such materials are against public decency and morality.
Named as defendants in the complaint were actor Robin Padilla and DKT Phils Inc.
The actor is the endorser for Trust Condoms, a brand under the Trust Family Planning line of contraceptive products.
Imbong went to court accompanied by AKP standard bearer JC de los Reyes, who has taken a stand against the proposed reproductive health bill.
“It is respectfully prayed that a writ of preliminary injunction be issued ordering defendant Padilla to cease and desist from publicly espousing and promoting condoms and condom use,†the complaint read.
