Actress Kylie Padilla made a thought-provoking post about leadership shortly after her estranged husband, actor Aljur Abrenica, filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for councilor in Angeles City, Pampanga.
In a Facebook post on Monday, October 7, Padilla reflected on the qualities of a “great leader,” emphasizing that a leader’s first responsibility is to his family. “A good indicator of a great leader is a man who can lead his family. That is his first unit, his first community,” she wrote. Padilla further highlighted traits such as integrity, humility, and loyalty, stating that a leader should remain devoted to his wife despite challenges.
Padilla’s post resonated with many, with netizens praising her sentiments. “Absolutely! How can you lead the community when you’re not even a good leader to your family in the first place?” commented one user. Another agreed, saying, “So true. Since family is the smallest unit of society.”
As of this writing, the post has gained significant attention with over 50,000 likes, 3,800 shares, and 2,600 comments.
The actress, known for her role in “Encantadia,” has been open about her separation from Abrenica, who is now in a relationship with actress AJ Raval. In past interviews, Padilla admitted to trying to save their marriage, though her efforts were “not returned.”
Abrenica, who confessed to cheating on Padilla last year, shares two sons with the actress, Alas and Axl. The couple tied the knot in 2018 but separated in 2021. Padilla recently confirmed that she is now dating a non-showbiz personality, rumored to be tattoo artist Jinno John Simon.
