"Long live the Filipino television and film industry. This is for you. Alhamdulillah," he added.

In 2022, Padilla filed Senate Bill 450 outlining safety measures and other benefits for showbiz workers. The measure was dubbed the "Eddie Garcia Law" in memory of the beloved veteran actor who died in 2019 following an accident on set.

"The bill, called 'Eddie Garcia Law' as a tribute to the veteran actor, is a response to the urgent call of the members of the television and movie industry for the government to provide guidelines for safe and better working conditions for the protection of the workers' welfare in the industry," said Padilla in his bill, which has been consolidated into the new law.

With the measure, Padilla expressed hopes of improved work conditions in the industry.
