Robinhood Ferdinand Cariño Padilla ([kaˈɾiɲo paˈdilja]; born November 23, 1969), also known by his Muslim name Abdul Aziz, is a Filipino actor and politician serving as senator of the Philippines. He is known as the "Bad Boy" of Philippine cinema for portraying anti-hero gangster roles in films such as Anak ni Baby Ama (1990), Grease Gun Gang (1992), Bad Boy (1990), and Bad Boy II (1992). He has also been dubbed the "Prince of Action" in Philippine cinema.
Padilla was convicted in April 1994 for illegal ownership of three firearms related to a driving incident in 1992; he was granted a conditional pardon by President Fidel V. Ramos after serving four years in prison and was released in April 1998. He would later be granted an absolute pardon by President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016.
Padilla was elected to the Senate in the 2022 elections, earning the second most number of votes in a senate election in Philippine history. He assumed office in the Senate on June 30, 2022, becoming the first Muslim senator of the Philippines since Santanina Rasul, who served in the Senate until 1995.
A supporter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, he assumed the presidency of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino party on July 24, 2024.
