Rendon Labador is open to entering politics
RENDON LABADOR – The social media personality admitted that he is open to the possibility of entering the world of politics.
During his interview with Anthony Taberna on “Tune In Kay Tunying Live” last Thursday, October 26, the social media personality and self-proclaimed motivational speaker was asked if he is considering getting into public service.
Despite the annoyance of some people towards Rendon, it cannot be denied that his name is quite known in social media circles. “Teka muna, magpopolitiko ka rin ba?” Ka Tunying asked. “Baka makita ko kumakandidato kang senador ah.”
Rendon Labador replied, “Wala pa. Hindi ko sinasara yung option na yan pero wala pa sa isip yan sa ngayon.” The social media personality also shared who he was before he became known on social media.
“Anak po ako ng general. Pinalaki talaga kami ng military discipline. Syempre kapag anak ka ng general, mataas yung expectation sa’yo. So, ayun yung ginawa sa amin tapos hilig ko lang kasi noon nagi-gym lang ako, happy go lucky, so minamaliit kami,” Rendon shared.
He further added, “Ang sabi sa akin ni erpat, ‘kaya ka lang kinakaibigan ng mga kaibigan mo ngayon dahil general ako. Ikaw, wala kang kwenta. Who you ka. Kapag ako nag-retire or nawala na ako, wala nang papansin sa’yo. Pinapansin ka lang ng tao dahil may makukuha sila sa’yo.’ So, nung sinabi sa akin ng erpats ko yun. Napaisip ako. Bata pa lang ako nagising ako sa katotohanan. So, doon ako nagsimulang mangarap.”
Rendon Labador mentioned that he won’t allow himself to become a “nobody” and he wants to showcase to the youth the upbringing he received from his parents. He reportedly started motivating people in 2014, during the peak of Facebook’s popularity.
His efforts bore fruit as, after a few years, he became known on social media. Recently, Rendon Labador collaborated with the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, but despite his good intentions, his live stream about the PNP Anti-Cybercrime raid became controversial.
