"We welcome his desire to join the Army Reserve Component and contribute more to the Army's thrusts of nation-building. All citizens, whether celebrity or ordinary, are highly encouraged to join us in serving the people and securing the land," Zagala said.

Padilla made known his desire to join the reservist because it is his belief that to serve the country is an honor.

During the Sulu Youth Empowerment for Preventing-Countering Violent Extremism , Padilla was the speaker, he said before the participants that islam is a religion of peace.

“Ang Islam na nakilala ko ay mapayapang religion (The Islam I know is a religion of peace),” Padilla said, recalling the values he learned after converting to Islam and the change it brought him from his old, rebellious life.

“Ito po ang religion na nagturo sa akin na maging makatao, makadiyos at kung bakit mahal ko ang Pilipinas (This is the religion that taught me to humane, to be godly, and to love my country, the Philippines)," he added.
