Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla is overjoyed when she announced during her hosting on noontime musical variety show, It’s Showtime that she and hubby actor-host, Robin Padilla are having a child after suffering two miscarriages.
The revelation was made at the beginning of the show last Saturday, May 21 when Mariel greeted the crowd with tears in her eyes, gladly announcing that she has been carrying a baby for three months now.
Apparently, Rodriguez-Padilla expressed her gratitude by thanking one and all for sharing a new chapter in her life’s journey.
She said: “Ang laki ng naging part ninyo sa naging journey ko because simula nung pumasok ako sa Showtime, naging relaxed ako, hindi ako na-pressure, mas naging masaya ako. And I think because of this, totoo talaga yung sinasabi nila that everything happens in God’s time.”
Eventually, Robin joined her on the centre stage and grabbed the opportunity to convey his message thanking the It’s Showtime family for warmly accepting Mariel to the show with open arms.
Padilla later posted on his Instagram account his full message and the actor said: “Nais ko magpasalamat sa lahat ng host, staff crew, at audience ng Showtime sa pagbibigay ng kaligayahan sa aking Mariel. Dumating kayo sa buhay niya sa oras ng kanyang matinding kalungkutan. Kayo ang naging hudyat para harapin niya ang umaga nang may ngiti at pag-asa, araw-araw, ala sais pa lang, ready na siyang maging host niyo, kaibigan, at kapamilya.”
Robin was also grateful to Mariel’s It’s Showtime co-hosts by adding: “Tunay po na nabuntis si Mariel dahil sa Showtime, naramdaman niya po ang pag-aalaga niyo sa kanya. Si insan Amy na laging may lutong pagkain para sa kanya, si Vice na laging nagpoprotekta sa kanya, si Vhong na lagi pinapaalala ang boses ko, si Billy na nagbigay ng ibat-ibang kulay sa amin, [sina] Anne at Karylle na naging mapagbigay sa kanya, si Jugz at Teddy sa pag-alalay sa kanya.”
Lastly, Robin Padilla said: “To make the story short , kayo pong lahat ang nagpupuno ng aking mga pagkukulang sa aking asawa at magiging anak. Kayo pong lahat ang tumayong ama sa oras ng ako’y abala sa rebolusyon. Hindi ko po aangkinin na ang batang ito ay anak ko lamang sapagkat ang partisipasyon ko sa kanya ay sa sarap lamang, kayo pong lahat ang kasama ng aking Mariel sa kanyang mga sakripisyo sa pagbubuntis na ito kaya’t mas mamarapatin kong tawagin ang batang ito na ‘Showtime baby. Muli po, tanggapin niyo po lahat ang aking malalim na pasasalamat.”
Everyone felt the wholehearted message of Robin sending them with tears of happiness for the couple.
Mariel later turned to her Instagram account requesting everyone to pray for them.
She transcribed: “Pls include us in your prayers!!!!!! thaaaaaaank you!”
Mariel and Robin calls their blessing a “Showtime baby” and judging by the baby’s good looking parents, we’re quite certain that this baby is going to be one attractive girl or boy.
