He hails from one of the most popular clans of Philippine showbiz, being the son of actor Rommel Padilla and singer Karla Estrada. Because of his natural, strong appeal and popularity among women, he is more often compared to his uncle Robin Padilla who became famous for his "bad boy" image.
"I'm the eldest of her four kids but we have different fathers," the boy said. "My dad is Rommel Padilla. They separated even before I was born. I was already 3 years old when I first met my dad. I have four other siblings with him na iba-iba rin ang moms."
Has he met his Uncle Robin? "Minsan pa lang. He told me pagbutihin ko ang pag-aartista ko."
So he's not close to Robin's daughters who are also in showbiz? "No. Di ko po sila nakikita."
He was discovered by the late Douglas Quijano. "He brought me to ABS para i-vtr. Two days later, he died. Akala ko, wala na. Then ABS called me at sinali nga ako sa 'Gimik'."
He is Bass Guitarist of the band Parking Five/P5
