Quezon City, March 14, 1998 - Robin Padilla's older brother Royette was shot in the back Wednesday by a former member of the Presidential Security Group following a minor traffic accident.
Royette Padilla, who once told Congress that he was a brigadier general of the H-World United Nations, a "government of all governments," allegedly sideswiped the tricycle being driven by Robinson Naboa, who gave chase and shot Royette's car with a Magnum .357 caliber. The bullet penetrated Royette's car and entered his body.
The 35-year-old actor drove himself to a hospital where surgeons took the bullet out. He has been pronounced out of danger.
