Robin Padilla celebrated his daughter Zherileen’s college graduation in Australia on Saturday, June 15.
It seems that Zherileen took a filmmaking course, given that her father referred to her as “my director.”
The action star shared on Instagram pictures of Zherileen in a toga and graduation cap at Bond University in Queensland. “My director Zherileen Padilla,” he captioned the pictures, the second of which showed him, Zherileen, former wife Liezl Sicangco and son Ali.
Robin has four kids with Sicangco, the other two being Queenie Padilla and actress Kylie Padilla.
Kylie dedicated an Instagram post to her younger sister on the achievement. “A very big congratulations to one of the coolest people I know. Sorry I couldn’t make it. You now have permission to boss me around Direk. Lol.
“So excited to see your vision come to life, you bet I’d be one of the first people to watch your movies. Love you!!!”
Robin’s wife, Mariel Rodriguez, sent her warm wishes through a comment on her husband’s post. “Congratulations Zhen!!!!!!! And congratulations to the proud parents Babe and Leizel,” she said.
Robin also spent his time at the Gold Coast celebrating Ali’s 19th birthday, as seen in pictures he shared on Instagram on Sunday, June 16.
The “Bato” actor’s first child is Camille Orosa, whom he shares with former actress Leah Orosa. He has a daughter, Maria Isabella, with Rodriguez and is expecting a second one with her, who will make him a father of seven. /ra
