PURING-PURI ni Mariel Rodriguez ang dating partner ni Robin Padilla na si Liezl Sicangco. Saludo siya sa pagpapalaki nito sa mga anak ni Binoe.
Sa isang episode ng Magandang Buhay, binasa ang sulat ng anak ni Binoe na si Queenie Padilla. Anito, “Dear Tita Mariel, congratulations on your comeback. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and for all mothers.
“Thank you for bringing my family together and standing up for us when we need it. Thank you for supporting and promoting our startup business. Thank you for being kind and thoughtful.
“You have a big heart and you deserve all the happiness in the world. You are rainbow. Keep shining Tita! And never stop bringing colors into our lives and the life of others.
“Love, Queenie.”
Ito naman ang emosyo-nal na sagot ni Mariel, “Thank you! Thank you! It means so much to me. Thank you!”
“It doesn’t matter kung anong iniisip sa akin ng ibang tao. Kung akala nila maingay ako o maarte ako o ganyan… Pero when it comes to the children of Robin, ayoko na isipin nila na hindi mabuting tao o hindi maganda iyong napangasawa ng Papa nila kasi Papa nila iyon, e.
“Gusto nila siyempre the best para doon sa Papa nila. So it means so much to me na na-appreciate nila iyong kindness ko because it really comes from my heart. Like what I always say, I’m just here to support them,” ani Mariel.
Saludo si Mariel sa pagi-ging ina ni Liezl sa mga anak nila ni Binoe na sina Queenie, Kylie, Ali at Zhen Zhen, “Kasi kahit minsan, hindi sila nagpakita ng masama sa akin. That’s because of their mom. So, maraming, maraming salamat,” sey pa ni Mariel.
