The show, which has yet to be named, is expected to start this month.

“Robin has also said he will develop a 5-hectare farm he owns in Barangay Nueva Vida, M’lang, North Cotabato into a model farm which will also serve as a rehabiltiation center for former drug dependents,” Piñol added.

In the comment section of his post, Padilla thanked Piñol and his wife actress and TV host Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla.

“Special thanks to DA secretary Manny Piñol for this article and to @marieltpadilla for supporting the mango farmers since then to now literally her whole house smells like mango,” Padilla said.  (Editor: Jonathan P. Vicente)
